[LVe find.a batance in the Schoot N e Th%i:sh_eri(f failed to produce any books at all. We find that the .l:oumy has provided the following books for the use of the sheriff: Shenift’s Kxecutive Docke:, " Cost Record, : ” Bond » _ These books are not used. We 'recommend that the sheriff keep these records in future as they are very essential und formm a part of the legal records of the county. We have examined the books of the County Treasurer and find some irregularites. We find that the books show a deficieacy of 3215.4% July Ist from amount of money ac tually on hand, we therefore recom-§ mend that the County Commission ers purchase a Treasurer’s cash book at once and some legal steps be taken to recozcile these irregu: larities, as in the present shape 1t is very embarassing to the committee and also to the present encumbent, We have examined the Tax Re cewver’s books and find that in a great number of cases that improv ed lands are returned at $1 00 to $2.25 per acre, Inseveral instances these lands contan well improved homes and farms. Also find that in some cases personal property was returned below its value, We recommend that the Grand Jury take some legal steps to rectify these matters, therehy equalizing the taxes that the burden may fall equally on all concerned. We have examined the books of the officzrs of the County Court and find that the Court has been run ning 20 months und has earned $3286.30 and paid cut for cost $2693 50, leaving a balance of $592.80 to the credit of said court, this amount being in notes bearing eigiat per cent interest, Committee— T.

Vickery, Clerk, TAFT ELECTED The election is over and the Re publicans are the victors as usual, The people have said by their votes that they are afraid to trust Mr. Bryant and we hope he is now satis fied, Of course the South went Democratic, but think of the Re publicans carrying 19 counties in Georgia. At this time it is impos sible to say, but it is thought that both-amendments were cacried.
