OSH BEING KILLED
IN COMMISSIONER
The citizens of thfe community
wish to call to the attention of
the State Game -Warden the con
dition of the fishquestion in Com
missioner Creek in this ’ county.
The people of Irwinton, Mclntyre
.and community through which
,this creeks flowo. who have had
the privilege of fishing in this
creek for years, are very much
alarmed because of the fact that
nearly all the fish in that creek
have been and are being killed,
and they are at a loss to know
what is causing this condition.
We have been told by reliable
parties that very frequently you
can see large floating on top of
water dead. The water in Little
Commissioner is very black and
looks thick, and for miles below
where it empties into Big Com
missioner the water is of the
color. We have not been able t<
learn what makes the water this
color, or from where it comes,
but-it is rumored that is caused
by some poisonous refuge from
the Pulp and Paper mill at Gor
don being turned into Little Com
missioner creek.
We are not in position to say
that any posionous stuff is being
turned, into the creek, but some
thing is killing out the fish, and
the citizens of this part of the
county feel that an investigation
should be made by the proper
authorities to ascertain the real
cause of this condition-

GENERAL PRESENTMENTS RETURNED BY
SMB JURY
-V .
APRILTBRM, 1915, SUPER- 1
IOR COURT, WILKINSON .
COUNTY, GA., —• GRAND
JURY PRESENTMENTS. ,
We,’ the Grand Jury drawn
and sworn to serve at the April
term, 1915, of the Superior
Court of Wilkinson County, beg
leave to make the following Gen
eral Presentments: -
We find two vacancies on the
Board of Education, caused by
the death of Mr. A. H. Nesbitt,
and the term of office of C. H.
Adams, having expired. We
recommend that J. H. Penning
ton be appointed to fill the va
cancy of C. H. Adams, and Col.
G. H. Carswell to fill th^ vacan
cy of A. H. Nesbitt.
We. appointed a committee to
examine the Court House and
jail, end they report the jail to
be in good condition, except
that a larger pipe for carrying
the water from the building be
put in. ...
The blinds and windows of
the court house need repair.
The sanitary condition of both
the jail and court house, we find
in good condition..
The committee to examine the
Poor Farm report they find one
c0w,..2 mules, 19 head of hogs,
about 100 bushels of corn, and
enough fodder, peas and pea
nuts to supply the farm for the
year. We find 10 inmates, of
which 7 are white and 3 black.
They are well cared for. We
recommend that the county fur
nish the Superintendent enough
^ood lumber to curb the well, as
it should be. We commend Mr.
Bloodworth, the Superintendent
to the people of the county for
his good service in caring for
the inmates, and for his good
management of the farm.
Committee to examine book?
of Justices of the Peace and No
irys Public report all books
kept in very good shape, except
osts of J. P.’s is not itemized
n the 1505th and 331st dis
tricts. We recommend that
these men do this in the future.
Committee to. examine Con
' ict Camps report the follow
ing: 2 four-horse wagons in
good repair and 2 two-horse
wagons, one in bad condition, 1
one-horse wagon in good shape,
3 steel cages, twelve men capa
city, in good condition, 5 wood
en cars, of which 1 needs a lit
tle repair, 1 set of new horse
clippers, Stewart brand, 10
wheeler scrapes in fairly good
condition, 3 road machines, 2 of
which are in bad repair, 18 head
of mules, 13 of the mutes are in
good condition, 5 are in bad
shape, practically worn out. We
find plenty of feed for the stock
at present, and that the corn is
home made, bought from our
Wilkinson county farmers,
which we highly commend, both
to the good farmers of our coun
ty in having it for sale, and to
the Superintendent in so buying
‘it from them. • We find plenty
of provisions on hand at pres
ent. We find impounds of lard
in camp, which we deem un
necessary expense, as the camps
heretofore have been using
the grease from fried meat,
which gave them an • ample
amount of grease; therefore we
recommend that this be care
fully Watched after, and no
more lard be bought unless it
should become absolutely neces
sary. We find plenty of bed
ding, and it to be in good -sani
i tary condition. We find 27 con
victs, fifteen felony, and twlev-.
misdemeanor, one of the 27 be
ing a white man. The guard
i consist of 4 men, three of th er
being day guards and one nig?/
I euard. Ne found 2 roote l
plows, but one of them is prac
ically worn out. Plenty har
ness and they in good copditioi
at present We find from re
oorts that the Superintendent o
-loads devotes a. great deal o
nis time at the camps, wit
horse and buggy, causing th<
county expense that should n r -
' incurred. Seeing that it
I world be impossible fdr jus to
examine the county records
thoroughly, as they should be,
we have appointed J. M, Hall,
I. C. Stubbs and 8. W. Lee to
make a thorough examination
of all county records during the
months of July and August and
report same to the next Grand
Jury of this county. We res7
pectfully ask said Grand Jury,
to publish this report In the Ir-
THE BULLETIN, IRWINTON, “•
winton Bulletin and the Wilkin
son County Banner. We recom
mend that this committee of
three men be paid $3.00 each
per day for services in making
this examination and report
We recommend that G. B.
Carswell be appointed N. P.
and Ex-Officio J. P. for the
331st. We recommend that J.
T. Hatfield be appointed N. P.
Ex-Officio J. P. for the 327th
District.
Information has come to this
body that warrants have been
issued and true bills returned
several years ago against peo
ple who should have been ar
rested and tried in court, but
that no arrests have been made.
We respectfully ask that this
matter be looked into by the of
ficers who keep these papers in
charge.
We as a body realize that law
lessness and crimes are on the
increase all over the county. We
have diligently searched to find
the guilty parties. We also feel
and believe that ninety-nine per
cent, of the crimes come, either
directly or indirectly, from
whiskey and the unlawful sak
df same. We believe that the
people who patronize these un
lawful places are not giving the
facts to the Grand Jury as they
should. From general talk and
reports from all parts of the
county, we believe that not only
blind tigers are operated, but
that unlawful stills are being
operand and dishing o,ut whis
key, which is causing great
crime and destroying the good
integrity and manhood of oui
oeople. We beg that the good
people of our county give al
. their assistance to the officer,
in stopping this unlawful and.
ontemptible practice of making
and selling whiskey.
We recommend that the Sher
iff be paid for all subpoenas
sent out before court at regular
price. Also that Jurors and
ourt Bailiffs be paid $2.00 per
day and mounted bailiffs be paid
$3.00 per day.
We recommend that these
presentments be published in
the Irwinton Bulletin and the
Wilkinson County Banner end
that each paper be paid $7.50
for so publishing.
We sincerely thank Judge
Park and Solicitor General Pot
tle for the courteous and able
manner in which they have con
ducted this court, and extend t<
them our best wishes wherevei
they may go.
