Editor News: Jt is with regret that I the following, but it seems to necessary. About four years ago I was of the Grand Jurors at the Court in Wayne county, and one of the committee to the public buildings. We, tfie com¬ mittee,-saw deficiencies in the that ought to be repaired and rec¬ ommended that same be done once. To my certain the Grand Jury of this county recommended the same repairs al¬ most every court since, but noth¬ ing has been done and the tion of the jail has been growing worse until the roof is in such bad repair that when heavy rain falls, one leak will some¬ times fill a bucket hoiding ten quarts. There is about half a doz¬ en of these leaks right in the mid¬ dle of the house where the jailer compelled to live, besides several others that run down the sides of the building. In some parts of house the window eurtains had be taken down on acc >unt of the wafer running through in a To ail this my family is exposed. In addition to all this, the old, impure water that lodges in tbe brick and cement and in the flooring, has stood so long until it raises a stench; I even had to re¬ move the carpet from the floor on this account. Still the Honorable Board County Commissioners to save the money that the of Wayne county paid into treasury, by way of tax, to have this work done. I admit that we, the officers, are duty bound to cititizen of this county to save all we can by economising, but if are to poor to pay for repairing jail so that the occupants can dry, then I think the Bourd of County had better revoke the contract the county printing, which they paying twenty dollars a for, and which they can get five dollars a quarter, a saving the county of sixty dollars a However, it seems that their ical prejudices have mounted high aB the tower of Babylon, If they continue to represent county in this style, it will not long before they, like unto tower, come tumbling down their ears. I have lived in the jail ever I came to Jesup, over two ago. I have had several cases Typhoid fever in my family have lost one of my childeen living there. I do not say the dition of the jail caused the of my little Jessie, but I believe had a gieat deal to do with it the jail cannot be healthy in delapidated condition. They may fix it or not, as please, but I will not live in it longer, and I don’t think j ought til the to pipes be confined fixed, in this that jail ■ are so J will not be likely to contract from the dry well, sewer, etc. j do not expect the jail to be ed under two years at least, ns course the county printing must done and paid for. ; W.

Although the search for Davis has been diligently proseeuted.no trace of him has yet been Rumors have been rife as to his being seen at different places, but when traeed to their foundation proved to be baseless. Davis was originally from Wiison county, near the line of Wayne county, North Carolina, and came to Wayne count}’, Georgia, twelve years ugo. The following is the description given of Davis by those who have seen him: He is 38 years of age, about 6 feet 5 inches tall, and is big shouldered, rawboned man with dark complexion, black hair, small keen black eyes and long noge. He was commonly dressed and wore No. 11 shoes. Davis is a man of great personal strength. There Is Nothing No (iuoil There is nothing just as good as I)r.
