CVwrt, to inspect and examine the ofll-
•■et-s, papers, books and records of the
clerks at the Superior Con , s and Or
x&'nnrv, and also the books, papers,
rxvords, accounts and vouchers of the
Comity Treasurer, and cause any
s.-xch clerk or county treasurer, who
shall have failed unit neglected to do
Bus duty, as required by law to be
WV’esented for non-performance of of
iffrxxd duty.”
These duties you can perform
fl» rough committees appointed from
jwtwir body or in such other manner as
5|c*o may deem best and most satis
factory. Should you deem the time
Hcto short during the term of court,
nr should your time bp otherwise oc-
-tu pied and yon cannot make such ox-
.Mtiination of these offices as you do-
*ai*c, you would fie authorized to up
tprait one or more competent citizens
W your county to make the examina
tion during vacation and this corn-
wueitteeof citizens would have power
•&o make a full and complete report
tlie finances, disbursements and
-condition of the several offices to the
gerand jury at the succeeding term of
iJhc court. It Would have power to
«fcake full control of the offices, papers,
Tjwoks, records, accounts and vouch
•ers of the different officers, to compel
ifce attendance of witnesses, to hear
■».% idiaice in regard to any fraud, and
tike non-performance of official duty
*rwd any improper disbursement of
tite county funds, and the authority
«•» conferred by you, upon such per
«m or persons, may be enforced by
rjiumiamus or attachment, upon up
(cation, if necessary.
So you will see that the means of
ascertaining fully and correctly tlit!
condition of these offices is complete.
Their great importance to the public
demand the closest scrutiny at your
%aunds. This court and the court of
ordinary are courts of record and the
law requires, and it is essentially im
portant, that, there shall be kept a
<«nrect record of all of their transac
tions of every discription, in suitable
liuad durable books. Upon the correct
-AmcJjnrge of these duties oftentimes
Aepi >nd rights of the gravest charao
ter, involving property, character and
'i'.berty. Ultimately, every dollar’s
(■r/orth of property in your county
»ust (be administered through the
vourt-r.f Ordinary, and not only do
WidUl, legal titles depend upon the
correctness of his conduct and records
iewit the liability of all fiduciaries in
Jli«> settlement of their accounts with
the -estates of deceased persons. So
‘ zoo the records of this court involve
matters of the deepest concern to
your people and their posterity. See
that the duties of these officers are
.properly discharged.
•Code (508 a.) It is made the duty
<of the Ordinary, Clerk of the Court,
J* her iff and County Treasurer, to
airtketo you, under oath, on the first
day of tile term, a just and true state
ment of tiie amount of money receiv
ed by them, respectively, belonging
i*> tlie county, and the source from
which the same was received; also
•.heir expenditures, accompanied with
\proper vouchers. It is your duty to
examine sucli returns when made. If
•you find them correct, it makes it
your duty to endorse your approval
L'fkon them and attach the same to
your general presentments, to he tiled
»■ '.tie (’lerk's office, if you find them,
or any of them, incorrect, it is made
your duty to return them through
your foreman, to the officer or officers
making same, plainly and distinctly
vetting forth, in writing, the grounds
of disapproval, and to require the offi
cer or officers complained of to appear
before your body and explain tile er
rors complained of. Should any of
tlies-.* officers fail or refuse to make
snch return, notify the court; it would
then be my duty to require such de
linquent officer, under appropriate
penalty, to come forward and make
the return.
The high character of these officers
and their well-known efficiency and
promptness in the discharge of duty,
makes it safe for me to venture the
opinion that they will cheerfully co
operate with you in your discharge
of these duties and will render you
all needed assistance and information
lo enable you clearly to understand
the condition of their respective offi
ce*. Your officers have established
•enviable standing, and doubtless
itotirt searching investigation into
their official conduct. Let that inves
tigation lie as thorough and Hifting
ii( the most upright and efficient offi
cer can desire.
Code (510.) You will also look into
the financial condition of your coun
ty with the view of determining what
taxation should be imposed upon the
property of your people for county
purposes. To aid you in the dis
charge of this duty, it is made the
further duty of the County Treasurer,
aider the supervision of the Ordinary
to prepare a statement of the finan
cial condition of the county, which
state ment should show the amount of
taz required to discharge the county
liabilities for the year, including an
•estimate of current expenses. This
statement, the law requires, to he
delivered to your foreman, on the
lirst day of court, by the time your
body is organized.
Code (502.) In order to have done
such repairing as may be necessary
to preserve the county buildings and
to take care of and preserve the
books, records and other property of
the county, your Ordinary may levy
an extra tax, provided the necessity
for so doing arises, without your rec
ommendation.
Code (514.) So too, he may levy
for the support of paupers, a tax not
exceeding 25 per centum upon the
amount of the state tax for the year
such tax is levied, without your rec
ommendation, provided, also, the ne
cessity therefor arises.
RAILROAD AND COURT HOUSE TAX.
By virtue of two local acts of the
tieneral Assembly, passed for your
county, one in 18— and one in 188he
•b also authorized to levy special tax.
to meet the maturing bonds and ac
cruing interest thereon, issued for
paying tiie subscription to the stock
of the Macon and Augusta It. It., and
for the erection of this building.
All other taxes for county purposes,
’-*> defray current expenses, should be
levied in pursuance of your recom
mendation, which recommendation
cannot exceed 50 per centum upon tlie
amount of the state tax for the year
it is levied. Your recommendation,
however, should cover all taxes to be
assessed for county purposes.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
You are required by law to inspect
the public buildings of the county
and to report their condition in your
general presentments.
TAX COLLECTOR.
The Tax Collector of the county is
required by law, to lay before you,
on the first day of the court, a full
statement of all special taxes received
by him, for the six months immedi
ately preceding such report, and to
state fully the date of hucIi collec
tions, from whom received, and the
amounts received—tliut is to say, he
is required on the first cluy of each
term of this court, to render to
you an itemized statement of all
money received from taxation on law
yers, doctors, dentists, deguereans and
other artists, auctioneers, keepers of
pool and billiard tables and ten pin
alleys, traveling vendors of medicines,
agents of insurance companies, emi
grant agents, dealers in lightning
roils, agents for pianos and other
musical instruments, circuses anil oth
er shows, liquor dealers, sewing ma
chine agents, dealers in pistols and
pistol cartridges, dealers in futures,
dealers in iron safes, buggies and
wagons, felloes, building and loan as
sociations, express and telegraph
companies and on all Other persons,
natural or artificial, upon whom u
special tax by law is imposed. This,
you will observe, is a very important
provision of the law and affords the
only re|idy and convenient means of
ascertaining what funds have gone
into the Collector’s hands from
sources other than taxation on prop
erty. The tax digest furnishes the
necessary data for the settlement of
the Collector’s tax accounts of money
arising from taxation on property,
but the special taxes, in many in
stances, do not appear upon the di
gest at all, in fact, they appear there
in very few instances.
Act 1885.—Under an act of the leg
islature, passed in 1885, it is also made
the duty of the Tax Collector to keep
a stub-book of tax receipts and to
enter on the receipt, and the stub at
tached, the name of each tax-payer,
tlie amount of taxes assessed against
him and to itemize the same, stating
tlie amount duo the state, county,
poll-tax or any professional or special
tax, and, at the proper time, to issue
executions against each delinquent
tax payer, and to enter the names of
such defaulting tax payers on an execu
tion docket to lie kept for the pur
pose, together with an itemized state
ment of tlie taxes covered by tlie ex
ecution. When such executions have
been issued it is his duty to clip from
the stub the unsigned receipt of tlie
tax payer and to attach the same to
tlie execution issued and to place the
execution in the hands of some offi
cer authorized by law to collect it and
to make an entry on his execution
docket of the name of t lie officer to
whom delivered and the date of deliv
ery.
The officer receiving tlie execution
is required at once to collect the tax
owing, anil all legal costs, by levy or
otherwise, if collectable, and when it
is so collected to detach from tlie ex
ecution t lie tax receipt and enter
thereon tlie amount collected, includ
ing all costs and commissions and al
so to make a similar entry on the ex
ecution, the receipt to be delivered by
the officer to the defendant anil the
execution returned to the Tax Collec
tor, with the money collected, who is
required, at once, to copy tlie entry
of the collecting officer on the execu
tion docket and file the execution in
his office.
The Tax Collector is required by
law to submit this execution docket
anil his cash book of collections to
you at this, tlie spring term of court.
You are required to thoroughly in
spect this docket and cash book and
report thereon by general or special
presentment.
For a violation of any of the provis
ions of this law tlie Tax Collector for
feits all or suoh part of his commis
sions as the grand jury shall recom
mend, and if he fails to pay over the
penalty, so imposed, it may bo en
forced against him and his sureties as
is provided by law against defaulting
Tax Collectors, with an additional
penalty of twenty per cent.
This I regard as one of the most
important laws to wliiolt I have called
your attention. If rigidly observed,
mi the legislature intended it should
be, the docket referred to, would, at ft
glance, show [every tax defaulter of
the county, and being durable, and
in book form, would furnish for every
year succeeding tlie passage of the
law, a ready and convenient, us well
as reliable, insolvent list, it would
show at a glance not only those in
arrears to the state and county for
taxes, but would also furnish reliable
data from which to determine who
may lawfully exercise the elective
franchise. It would serve as a quassi
registration law, and would aid you
greatly in tlie discharge of another
important duty imposed upon you by
law.
LIST OF VOTERS.
I refer to that provision of the law
which makes it the duty of the clerk
of this court to lay before you tlie
list of voters of your county. When
such list is laid before you it is your
duty to examine it, and if there be
found on it any voter not entitled to
vote to present him for violation of
law. This duty of examining the list
of voters is important and far reach
ing in the results that follow its dis
charge. Under our form and theory
ef government the right of suffrage is
the great fundamental right upon
which all others repose, it is the cor
ner stone upon which the fabric of
Government itself rests, it is tlie ono
means by which the popular will is
declared and constitutes, ultimately,
the ouly safeguard against official
corruption and usurpation of the
rights of the citizen, it is the sole
means by which free institutions are
preserved.
Tho citizen who is so diBregardful
of Ids duty to the government under
Which he "lives, and his fellows, and
wilo would shirk, if he could, Ids -just
proportion of the common burden,
necessary to accomplish the great
ends of government itself, is an un
safe custodian of the fundamental
power by which all of tlie machinery
of government is moved.
If you find from an examination of
the list of voters that unauthorized
persons have participated in tlie se
lection of officers to make or adminis
ter the laws you would lie impowered
and it would be you duty to bring tlie
offenders to answer for such acts.
ROADS AND BRIDGES.
I now call your attention to the
laws relating to roads and bridges.
All male citizens of your county be
tween the ages of 18 and 00 years are
liable to road duty, with very few ex
ceptions. A ju6t proportion of th®
county’s revenue may also bo expend
ed upon the public highways. It
would seem therefore, that no good
reason can exist for bail rondH, except
such as may he of a providential na
ture. Yet one of the most common
of complaints is against roail officials.
The blame for badly kept roads is
chargeable, primarily to the road
commissioners of the several road dis
tricts, and finally, to grand jurors.
The commissioners of the road dis
tricts of the county,are vested by law
with abundant means both of money
and material and with almost auto
cratic power over road hands. They
possess every power anil appliance
necessary to execute fully and satis
factorily the roail laws, and are justly
blnmable when they fail to satisfy
the reasonable expectations of the
public. 1 say that grand jurors
are blamable finally, for the reason
that in case thecommissioners fal I short
in tlie discharge of duty the power
of bringing the delinquents to answer
therefor rests with them. It is your
duty to ascertain the condition of the
roads, bridges and causeways, of your
county, and ulso whether any road
commissioners have been derelict in
their duties. If they have been, pre
sent them to the court for neglect of
duty, generally, or in any particular,
as the facts may justify, that they
may be required to render an account
of themselves. Goods roads are in-
dispensible to public travel and tlie
transaction of necessary business and
every consideration of comfort and
economy, economy both of time and
means, demand that those entrusted
with their supervision should be held
to a rigid accountability.
Until tlie passage of tlie act of Oct.
15th, 1885 grand jurors had by law
tlie sole power of reaching delinquent
roail commissioners anil still have
that power, save under that act, in
cases of complaint under oath by a
citizen of the county in which tlie "de
fault occurs, in xviiicli event the Or
dinary, or county authorities having
jurisdiction over roads, may cite tlie
commissioner to answer for neglect
of duty anil on a proper ease made
by tlie proof, may inflict punishment
by fine and removal from office. You
should not wait for complaint but in
the discharge of your duties should
ascertain tlie condition of your roads
and tho cause of such condition and
act accordingly.
Under a local act of the legislature,
passed in 1833, for your county, your
misdemeanor convicts may be em
ployed in working the public roads,
provided two consecutive grand ju
ries so recommend. Whether it would
be wise and beneficial to undertake
the establishment of a road gang un
der this law would depend upon di
vers considerations, of which you
have been very wisely made the judg
es. I make no suggestions upon this
topic anil what 1 say upon the sub
ject of convict labor for public roads
is intended to apply solely to peniten
tiary convicts.
1 digress, for a moment from mat
ters pertaining strictly to your county
matters to venture an opinion upon
the policy of .putting all of the
State’s convicts upon the public roads
inasmuch as the question, is germane
to the topic of roads generally.
In my judgment, as soon as it can
be legally done, all of the convicts
now disposed of under what is known
as the lease act should be placed at
hard labor upon the public highways.
This disposition of them would seem
to subserve every end had in view by
the law in inflicting punishment and
would, at the same time, obviate the
most serious difficulties and objec
tions growing out of tlie present plan.
The prime objection of bringing con
vict into competition with free labor
would bo met and a system of mag
nificent thoroughfaresthroughont tlie
State be built at the same time. Fif
teen hundred convicts, under thor
ough discipline and wise supervision,
during a period of twenty or more
years could macadamise a system of
public highways crossing and inter
secting each other between selected
points that would render them great
arteries of trade and travel anil im
mensely enhance the property of the
State. This plan would, by no means,
be without expense to the State, but
the resulting benefits would be great
anil lusting. Or the convicts might
be apportioned among the different
counties at put at labor in keeping in
repair the already established dirt
roads. The former plan I think much
the more desirable. But it is not my
purpose to discuss this question in de
tail. I only refer to it because of its
great public importance and its rele
vancy to the road question. It is re
ceiving already public attention and
I trust will, by its importance, ex
act the further attention it should
have.
COMMISSIONED NOTARIES.
Each militia district in your county
in addition to tho regularly elected
justice of the peace, is entitled to
have one commissioned Notary Pub
lic, who would be ex officio, a justice
of the peace and could exercise all of
the powers and functions of a justice.
Such Notaries are appointed by tlie
court, upon the recommendation of tlie
grand jury, if you have knowledge
of any militia district of your county
without such Notary Public, you
would be authorized to recommend
to the court, for appointment, a suit
able person, living in tho district, and
your recommendation would be res
pected.
MAUISTRATKS' I>OCKKTS.
I am required to give you in charge
specially one other section of tlie code,
“All Justices of tlie Peace and Nota
ries Public, who are ex officio justices
of the peace, are required to keep
separate dockets of causes, civil and
criminal, disposed of by them, which
dockets must show tlie actual dispo
sition of each case and the amount of
costs collected in eacli case uml from
whom.
They are required to lay their dock
ets before you, on tlie first day of the
court, for inspection. Tlie bill of costs
in each case must be itemized anil en
tered on the docket, and must show
for what officers, anil for what ser
vice each item of cost is charged. For
failure to exhibit his docket with an
itemized bill of costs, or for making a
false entry or return of any matter,
tlie officer so offending would be
guilty of malpractice in office, and
liable to prosecution therefor.
CONCLUSION.
In conclusion, gentlemen, let me
say, that your duties are varied and
important. Look carefully into all
matters affecting the welfare of your
county, whether sucli matters origi
nate out of violations of tlie criminal
laws, or refer solely to what may be
called county affairs. Let your gen
end presentments inform the people
of your county fully and accurately
of the condition of all matters in
winch they have an interest, and
which you have been selected to in
vestigate and report upon.
