GEAXD JURY PRESENTMENTS,
October Term 1892, Houston Superior
Cours.
The Grand Jury chosen, sworn
and selected for the October term
1892 of the Superior court of Hous
ton county .make the following pre
sentments:
An examination has been made
of the various records of the comi
ty, and we find nothing specially
to present. We find them correct
ly kept so far as oar limited time
permitted us to examine them.
The Receiver’s tax digest in the
Ordinary’s office, and also Tax Col
lector’s digest, we find neatly kept,
but find some errors in both, prin
cipally in the addition of the col
umns.
We find our County Judge has
disposed of 181 cases since last
April.
Our Co. Treasurer has rec’d $10,627.93
Paid out 10,093.78
Leaving a balance on hand'of $534.15
to date (Oct. 6th)-
We find that there is a pauper
by the name of Anderson Chevis,
who has not applied for his scrip
in six mouths. We would recom
mend that his name be dropped
from the list of beneficiaries, and
said scrips' destroyed; and that a
record be kept of each district that
each panper lives in, by the coun
ty commissioners.
We find a few repairs necessary
on the ceiling of the Sheriff’s of
fice in the court house; also the
pumps and bathing apparatus in
the jail are sndly'in need of re
pairs. The poor house is in good
repair,and the inmates well pleased
with their treatment. We recom
mend that more ground be appro
priated for the.raisiDg »of vegeta
bles for their use.
We present the following roads
and bridges as needing 'attention:
The road beyond the old Norwood
Bridge leading to Fort Valley near
D. H. Houser’s; also new bridge
leading from VV. J. Short’s to Pow-
ersviile has never had the abut
ments fixed. We recommend the
road commissioners of the (519th
district have the limbs of the trees
that hang over and across the roads
cut off; also the road from Widow
Thompson’s towards the Cobb
place, in the same district, should
be made wider. The Burnam
Bridge across Hog Crawl creek is
needing immediate repairs. The
road from Howard Branch to Geo.
Smith’s, col., and from Charlie
Bassett’s to Crawford county line,
needs overseer, hands, &c., both in
the 9th district. Also road lead
ing from W. E. Boler’s to Provi-
.dence church, in the 10th district.
This not being the time for a full
report from the County School
Commissioner, he has only exhib-*
ited to us his books, which we find
correct, and disbursements sup
ported by proper vouchers.
We would most earnestly recom
mend our efficient Board of Edu
cation, in view of the stringency of
the times, to make only such
changes in the text books of our
schools as, iD their judgemnt, are
absolutely necessary.
We believe that it would give
more system to, and facilitate the
business of our County court, to
have a Solicitor, and we recom
mend His Excellency, Gov. Nor-
then to appoint some active and ef
ficient attorney for said office, to bo
paid out of fines and forfeitures, as
provided by the statute.
We recommend that the per di
em of jurors and bailiffs remain
the same ($2.00).
After having examined witness
es in regard to the unlawful sale
of liquor in this county, and being
unable to obtain any satisfactory
evidence, we would most respect
fully request that the County
Commissioners of Houston county
employ a secret detective to ferret
out the parties guilty of selling
liquor in Fort Valley, and else
where in our county.
We would also suggest to our
County Commissioners that they
have muffled doors put at the Head
of the stairs leading to court room,
that the court wbilg in session may
not be disturbed by the sound of
voices in the halls below.
We understand that Maj. R. N.
Holtzclaw is a candidate for Solic
itor General of the Macon circuit.
We cordially endorse him as an able
lawyer and upright citizen, and we
respectfully recommend his candi
dacy to the General Assembly, and
while we hold in high esteem our
present Solicitor, yet Maj. Holtz
claw is our fellow citizen, was
raised among ns, and is justly en
titled to the position. We request
our immediate Representatives to
use all honorable means to elect
him.
In taking leave of His Honor,
Jndge Miller,'we fender him onr
thanks for the ability nnd impar
tiality he brings to bear in the dis
charge of his judicial duties.
We also offer our thanks fo So
licitor Felton for his courtesy to
this body,
ability in the execution of the du
ties of his office.
We request the publication of
these presentments in the Home
Joubnal aud Fort Valley Leader.

■ A true extract taken from the
minutes Houston Superior court
M. A. Edwards, v
Oct. 8th? 1892. Clerk S.C.
HOUSTON SUPERIOR COURT.
Following the adjournment over
Wednesday, court re-convened
Thursday morning, and resumed
the consideration of civil cases.
Most of the cases were tedious,
though none of them were of gen
eral interest.
The grand jury appeared in
court Friday afternoon, read their
general presentments,and the body
was discharged, with the thanks of
the court, for the remainder of the
term.
The grand jury considered 44
indictments, and presented to the
court 36 true bills and 8 no bills.
At about 4 o’clock Saturday af
ternoon court adjourned • to Mon
day, and at about ten o’clock that
day court convened for the second
week.
Monday and Tuesday were con
sumed in the trial of civil cases,
most of them suits for damages
against the Central Railroad and
Banking Company. These were
stubbornly contested, consumed
much time, aud as a consequence
comparatively few were tried.
Wednesday morning the crimi
nal docket was taken up, the first
case being under an indictment
against a white man for anattemjpt
to commit rape. „
The criminal calendar for Wed
nesday, Thursday and Friday em
braces thirteen cases, one of them
b.eing for murder, .one as above
stated, and the others for minor of
fenses. •
Saturday will probably be devo
ted to civil suits, motions, etc.
On account of the fact that there
are a large number of cases that
cannot possibly be tried this week,
it is certain that there will be an
adjourned term.
The Crawford Superior court
will be held next week, and Mon
day, October 31st, will be the.time
of our adjourned term.
Confederate Headstones.
To The Memorial Association of
Perry, Ga.:
Ladies:—We, the committee ap
pointed on April 26th, 1892, to se
lect and purchase headstones for
the graves of .Jbose Confederate
soldiers who died in service, and
are buried in the cemetery at Per
ry; and also to collect from our
generous and patriotic citizens the
money to pay for said headstones,
beg leave to report that we have se
lected, purchased and had erected
the headstones, and will, within a
few days,continue the performance
of our duty, as a committee, and
call upon our people for contribu
tions to pay the indebtedness in
curred.
As there has, heretofore, been
some misunderstanding as to the
graves that should be decorated,
we give below a list of those sol
diers who died or were killed while
in service, that there may be no
doubt hereafter, to-wit:
Lieut. W. H. Holmes, Lieut.
John R. Felder, Sergt. Jacob Ri
ley; Privates J. O. Hale, Lawrence
A. Felder, McPherson Felder, W.
B. Mclnvale, J. R. Speer, Spencer
Penick, J. J. Robarts, A. L. Kil
len, R. S. Killen, A. S. Norwood,
V. J. Hodge, J. M. Sistrnuk, J. J.
Dnmas, W. F. King, McDow
ell, W. T. Swift, G. W. Dennard..
Most respectfnlly submitted,
R. N. Holtzclaw, Chair.,
W. Brunson, Jr.,
.W. H. Norwood,
Committee. '
—In the early part of this sea
son we mentioned the fact that Mr.
E. O. Buff had planted a portion
of his cotton crop in rows eight or
ten feet wide. He gave' his reasons
for asserting’ that cotton thus
planted wonld yield mote per acre
than cotton planted in narrow rows
on similar soil. ' We hope Mr. Buff
will-report resalts on his cotton for
publication.
THE HOUSTON VOTE.
Eu onr hurry in securing the re
turns from the several precincts
last Thursday, a few errors were
made, errors that in no way affect
ed the final result.
The total vote was 1,289, and the
demecratic majoritj 1,123.
At Centerville, Wellston, Bo
naire, Kathleen, Dennard, Kayue-
ville and Elko the vote was solidly
democratic. -
At Henderson,Mnrph and Tharp
one third'party vote was polled at
each, by white men.
At Perry two white men voted
the third party ticket, seven color
ed men voted for Mr. Peek and
nine for Mr. Carr.
In the full vote there were not
five votes difference between the
vote for governor and that for can
didates for the legislature.
The democratic vote last Wed
nesday was just 113 more than the
vote in the democratic primary last
June. Allowing the white vote to
he the same, we have 113 colored
people who voted the democratic
ticket.
The third party vote was 83; and
from tne best information we can
get,,21 ot these were white men,
leaving 62 colored men who voted
that ticket. So of the colored men
who voted, nearly two to one voted
the democratic ticket. We believe
the proportion is greater in favor
of democracy, for we have good
reason to believe that the white
vote last week was lighten than
the primary vote in June.
This shows that the colored peo
ple of Houston are not in favor of
the third party.
Though the Perry vote was -the
•second largest of the /fourteen pre
cincts, three precincts returned a
larger third party vote.
Several prominent' colored poli
ticians worked zealously for Gov.
Nortben aud our local democratic
candidates, aud they will so favor
Crisp against Wimberly in No
vember.
GROVANIA NEWS.
BY JOE BEDGE.
The state election is over with,
and we know of nothing that hap
pened to mar the pleasure of the
day. Our precinct was solid for
democracy,and all those who voted
the third party ticket are known in
this section as fifth class mackerel,
inspected and condemned.
Well, everybody now want the
money that is due them. The ques
tion is: How are they to get it?
We owe every fellow for last year,
and how can. we pay yon for the
present year? Here is what I’ve
got; take it and turn me loose.
“jjfo, ; I don’t want your razor-back
stock,” is the reply. “My money
must come, or the earth will be
pawed down in short order.” • “All
right, boss,” is the answer from the
tenant, “I’ve done all I can do.”
Well we take the shawl neck mule
and a few other tricks, but haven’t
got oilr money, and will never get
it. Is there no relief for the farm
er? .
Cotton has been on a boom in
our place for several days. The
highest prices have been paid.'
The Grovania Oil and Fertilizer
Factory will open up about the
20th inst. The highest prices will
be paid for cotton seed, and labor
that may be needed.
Mr. J. M. Bunn and your cor
respondent have just taken a bird’s
eye view of the dwelling house
that Mr. Stephen F. Bivins is
erecting in ••cur place, and must
say when completed will be one of
the most commodious dwellings in
our town. Mr. Bivins is a gentle
man of taste, and knows what will
be attractive; to the girls.
Mr. Marshall Bunn says he is
confident Cleveland will ■ be presi
dent, and,is ,yet a candidate for
matrimony, and has contracted to
have him -a. dwelling house built on
modern design.
It will be but a short time when
the Methodist church will be moved
from Hayneville to Grovania. -Time
brings about many changes. Snch
is life.
.Miss Dora Ellis, a student of
Shorter College, Rome, Ga., has

It is said that by special invita
tion Will and John Riley took din

GINNERY
JOB WORK.
NEATLY EXECUTED
AT THIS OFFICE —
Ilipans Tabules: best liver tonic.
The gin house and fixtures be
longing to Mi. D. H. Houser,at his
mill on Big Indian creek, were de
stroyed by fire at about ten o’clock
last Monday mqrning. In addition
eleven bales of cotton and about
1,000 bushelsjof cotton seed were
burned. Eight bales of the cotton
and the cotton seed belonged to
Messrs. Cain Cdoner and Felder
Houser, who had possession of the
mill and ginnery as tenants for a
number of years. Three bales of
the cotton belonged to Dab Mcln
vale, a colored farmer. Mr. D. H
Houser estimates his loss at about
SI,500, including the house, 2 60-
saw gins, feeders, condensers,press
and other machinery.
This is the third time in four
years that Mr. Houser has suffered
severe loss by fire. The first was
his mill and ginnery, second his
dwelling house aud contents, and
now the ginnery. We understand
there was no insurance on the
property.
We are told that the fire origi
nated at or in'one of the gins,caused
by hot box of the brush, comma-’
nicating with the cotton within the
gin, and thence through the con
denser into the lint room. /All that
could be done was without avail,
and only the cotton bales that were
on the outside platform could be
saved.
The loss is a severe one to all the
parties mentioned.
SAW MILL BURNED.
The saw mill belonging to Mr.
W. A. Melvin, near Fort Valley,
was destroyed by fire iast Friday
night.
Mr. Melvin writes us that his
loss is about $1,500, though it will
cost $2,500 to rebuild and refit with
new machinery. He saved his ma
chinist’s tools, his dry kiln, and
some lumber. He will rebuild at
once, and m the meantime, those
who need lumber will materially
aid him by sending their orders to
him.
The mill was located within
abont 200 yards of Mr. Melvin’s
residence, and he was awakened by
the roaring of the flames. The fire
burned very rapidly, and it was
soon evident that an incendiary
had started the flames. It was
plainly seen that oil had been used
to facilitate the burning, and with
in a very few minutes the savings
of as many years had been reduced
to ashes.
The scoundrel who did this cow
ardly act should feel the weight of
the law to its fullest extent, and all
good citizens will assist Mr. Mel
vin most earnestly in • securing his
arrest should opportunity offer.
We do not.knffw whether or not
his suspicions attach to any one
particularly.

Ibadan interesting incident-J
wanted to relate- last week, but
through fear that your columns
would be crowded, I declined the
idea. It is funny yet, but is too old
for the press.
I had the pleasure of listening
to the address of Georgia’s noble
son; this state should feel proud of
him,-if she doesn’t T do. His
speech was hot enough to burn the
wrong into a “Crisp.”
The dance at Nlr. V. E. Heard s
new house last Friday night fur
nished much pleasure to those
who like to tip the fantastic toe.
I attended, and all the objections
I found there were too many “third
parties.” Wonder if the boys have
forgotten the election is over?
John says he is going to learn
his mule to row a boat so there
will be no disappointment in case
the creek shonld rise. .
Mrs. J. F. Heard, Sr. is visiting
her son, Mr. J. M. Heard and
wife.
I think a young man of this
community was infuriated when he
found that the mail carrier' had
smashed a box of flowers sent him
by his best girl. /
Mrs. Missouri Wright and daugh
ter are visiting relatives in Dooly.
A yonng lady of this place in
forms me that she has learned to
economize. Every Sunday, while
preparing dinner, she prepares
enough for her fellow’s supper
(for she knows he is coming):
thereby the twilight moments, may
be spent in conversing with her
enchanter.
Mr. M. J. Nelson and family, of
