three cole.red. We find they are
well eared i *r. and that the ap«
art merits are neatly kept,
We find the farm and orchard
in g< M M l condition, well terraced
cared for. We find there are soiue
leali- in the roof ot the main dwel¬
ling and recommend the same be

in good condition.
We c< nun end the Present in¬
cumbent for the manner in which
he looks after the farm. r

over south, river, i? in dangerous
coi.difi-.n. and recommed that

practicable. Wealse recommend
that the : ridge near Union Grove
church be repaired at once.
Public Roads.
We find that our public roads
are in good condition where, they
have been worker! under the new
Fystem, others in fair condition
conquering the recent rains.
We find the work done on the
public i ads by 1 he Ordinary has
been satisfactory and recom
mend that he continue in the same
manner, and that no County Com¬
missioners be appoin'ed.
\\ recommend that the Ordi¬
nary proceed at once to have the
county Jim run between DeKnlb
and Rockdale counties.
Pensions.
We bavoexamined the pension
list presented for our considera
tirn, and recommend that no
names be dropped for cause.
Notary Public & Justice Peaces.
W e have examined the dockets
of the Justices of Peace and Nota¬
ry Publics in the different dis¬
tricts, and from the records shown,
they appear to lie properly kept.
But we find from other sources
that the Justices of Peace in some
instances are not keeping a com¬
plete record of all cases coining be¬
fore them, and recommend that
all cases be docketed as soon as
war rents have been issued, and
l ot hold them over pending set¬
tlements.
We find tho Auditors report a
very elaborate one. showing that
no irregularities exist in the books
of the following County officers:
viz, the Ordinary and Treasurer.
We find a small amount of in¬
terest, that Collectors E. T . Cook
and W G. Clotfelter failed to col¬
lect frtm delinquent tax payers,
which we note was never collected
before, ami we recommend that
thev be released from paying the
ba me into the Countv treasurer.
We further recommend that
the Tax Collector of the County
be required to keep cash book
the record of all moneys
And disbursements made.
That he be required to issue

xiietiDg unnecessary. Pleasant to take.

«,f »ach year on all unpaid taxes,
ai.il that he collect 7% interest on
^ game from that date until
paid.
From the Auditors report we
find that the Sheriff keeps no
books.
We recommend that the Sher
iff keep a book upon which to en¬
ter the names of a ! l prisoners
corning- under his charge, and to
state what disposition has been j j
made of said prisoners, stating the
amounts of fines imposed, if paid,!
by whom and what disposition j
was made of the proceeds. If fines
worked out, state to whom the
prisoners were turned over and for
what length of time.
That he shall keep a record of
a q money’s coming into his hands
fiom the Or hnary, and any other
source pertaining to his office, for
n .j ia ^ purpose, when, and liow
imicn. :
We also find from the Auditors
report that the Sheriff has failed
to account for t he following bonds
that were forfeited: W, J. Dot
tery for $100.00 and Cornelius Mc¬
Whorter for $100.00, and recom¬
mend that the same be collected
at once.
We find from our tax digest
that some of the property was re¬
turned for less than its value, and
we herewith attach a list of the
same, and reccommend that the
same be collected as the law re¬
quires.
We find the druggists keep a
record of poisonous drugs sold as
the law
On account of the absence of
the County School Commissioner,
we are.unable to make any report,
from his department.
We recommend that Grand &
Petit jurors and Bailiffs he paid
$2.00 per diem and riding Bailiffs
bo paid $ 8.00 per diem for the
year 1902.
We also recommend that these
presentments be published in the
official Organ of the County and
that they receive $ 10,00 for the
same.
We tender our thanks to his
Honor Judge John S. Candler for
the ablo and efficient manner in
which lie has presided ovef our
