patrons call on him and give him
a fair portion of their work, es
pecially till he can “catch up”

would beg those who owe him to
drop in and make glad his heart

tahoochee Brick Company’s guards,
stopped off here Tuesday morning
with three convicts he had re

county, with the view of adding
Starling Coggins to his trio.

liberty.

man, was standing near, and fired
three shots at the fleeing negro,

the Chattahoochee brick yards to
serve his sentence.

capture.

NOTICE.
Look at the grand jury present
ments published in the News-Her
ald of March 12, 1900. You will
find that said jury, or part of
them, jumped out of their har
ness in these presentments. They
say that the County School Com
missioner has so well managed
the school fund that it only cost
3f per cent., showing that this
office is more cheaply administered
than any other that has anything
to do with the public funds. This
is not true. I will call your at
tention to the pensioner’s roll.
There are 348 pensioners in this
county that draw from the public
funds through the Ordinary, and
not one cent paid by any one of
the pensioners to said Ordinary
The Ordinary makes out all the
claims, qualifies ull the pension
ers, sends up their claims, re
ceives all the checks, and forwards
the same to the pensioners, all
amounting to thirteen or fourteen
thousand dollars, and not one
cent of expense to the tux payers
of this county.
Let us see what this 8f per cent,
cost the tax payers of this county
and the state of Georgia. It cost j
the county of Gwinnett $600.59;!
it will cost the state of Georgia j
one hundred and three thousand
dollars; a uioe sum for the Gwin
nett grand jury to boast of. I *
suppose that the grand jury look
ed upon the Ordinary as a side
show and not worthy of their no
tice. Bo that as it may, we find
that $15,000 paid out by the
School Commissioner cost the
tax payers of this couuty $600.59,
and the amount of thirteen or
fourteen thousand dollars paid
out by the Ordinary, or through
him, has not cost the tax payers
one cent.
I find that the County School
Board has received for their pay
as per diem $64.00, this means $2
per day for their services. I find
further that the item of $36.59
paid by the School Commission
er to himself and the Board is a
charge on the tax payers of this
county unauthorized by the school
laws of this state.
Answer, gentlemen, and correct
any mistake I may have made.
