A NEW JAIL.
Keitor Courier—
Frow the read
irg of the general presentments of
cur last gr*nd jnjy one would say
that lurkdalo is to build anew or
another jail. I oppose the erection
<f a jail, at this time, and I am aat
i>find that a majority of the jury did
not think it advisable, hut ouly yield
ed to get tid of the question an it
wan urged before them by ita friends
for many day*. Hut if we build a
jail let it be a jail in fact We doat
want any more Roasting Hell 1 The
ery of thoae prisoners and their blue
and blackened flam* a are yev fresh
iu every memory, and the aahes yet
atand aa a monument of a grand
mistake, Bat if it is built let it be
a prison within the intent of the law.
the object of which in to deprive of
libery, not to torture. What will
this tost the tax payers of this coun
ty ? Every man can make aoalca
Jrtion. For one I will sv not less
than th rty-five hundred dollars, and
low at tLat. Men why never com
mit crime will have to be taxed to
foot the bill, We have at this time
about $364 in the trea->urv, and our
j y unpaid, and we wi’l further
state that it coat about $2,000 annu
ally to run oar Sup rior Court alone
Ik sides the paupers, bridges etc. I
am informed that our jury fees alone
♦or the vear 1877 amounted to $1
7CO Now ia it a neoei>sity to tx >
our peopla $3 500 above our annual
tax to I uild a jail, just ro let it be
said we have a jail. Lot us see
tie inti rest oi> $3,500 at 7 per cent
enoualy is $245. Now if we are
correctly iu for toed our jail fees arc
the same in Covington that they arc
in Conyera and the only additional
expense that we are at is traveling
to and from Covington and guarding
the prisoners while waiting for trial.
Our jail, so called, was burned about
e ght mouths ago, and since that time
me have not paid out exceeding sis
tor traveling and not < ver the same
amcuot for guarding pi borers while
goii gto aud fro aid while waiting
♦or tiittl. Now let ur Ordinary pur
