Assistant. Advertising rates furnished on Ap plication. Wintered at the Irwinton postofliec as seeend-class mail matter M) JON PIMMITS GEORGlA—Wilkinson County. We, the grand jury chosen . and sworn for the April of Wilkinson county supw" court, 1911, beg to submit ute following general presentments: Our investigations reveal the fact that the law is being fre quently violated, more particu larly the prohibition law. Blind tigers are abroad in the land, attended with their usual de grading effects. Almost in ev ery nook and corner of the county we hear complaint along this line. Very nearly all of the business coming before our body is traceable to blind tiger liquor. Lut in nearly every instance we have failed to secure evidence sufficient to convict the guilty parties. Men who patronize these nefarious hell-holes will not tes tify against them; but we feel that a better day is dawning. The work that is being done by our noble Christian women will not prove fruitless. We commend them for their noble efforts and bid them God - ^d in their laudible undertak ing. We call upon every good citizen of the county to co-oper aie with them and assist them in trying to rid our country of this terrible curse and thus save our boys and young men from the snares and temptations that are daily thrown in their path way. We have, through various committees, examined the dock ets of the J. P.’s and N. P.’s, the pauper farm and public build ings. We find the dockets of the J. P.’s and N. P.’s in very good shape, except that of the J. P. of the 328th district, where no • constable’s entry appears, and also no entry on docket of N. P. of Lord’s district, where a case was settled. We find at the pauper farm plenty of corn to run the place the present year and plenty of peas for planting purposes. We find 11 inmates, 5 white and 6 colored, all prac tically helpless, but well cared for; 14 head of hogs; 1 milch cow; 2 mules. Everything seems to be in good condition We find the court house in good repair. We find the sani tary condition of the jail bad; otherwise it is in good repair. We recommend that the iron bridges be painted.. We recommend that I. O. Hall be appointed to audit the books of the county officers and report to the next grand jury, and that he be empowered to employ an expert accountant to assist him. We also recommend that Mr. Hall be paid $3 per day for his services. We recommend that B. As bell be appointed N. P. for 330th district; J. T. Halfield for 327th, and G. B. Carswell for 331st district. We herewith append report of a committee appointed by the last grand jury to report on the tax digest. We, a committee appointed by the last grand jury to examine the tax returns of said county, and report upon the same to the grand jury at April term, 1911, beg to submit the following re port : We find that our tax receiver has allowed lands to be returned for taxes far below the average 11LDUPREE, DENTIST First-class Work At Reasonable 3 rices. 36ri-2 Socoud SI, Mact®.

I. HATFIELD, Jr. J. J. BUTLER, W. W. SMITH, Committee. We find all persons whose names appear on the pension roll worthy and entitle to re main and we recommend that Allen Holder be placed on the roll. We have received quite a lengthy report from the com mittee appointed by a former grand jury to audit the books of the county officers. We have adopted the report and recom mend that it be filed in the clerk’s office for future refer ence ; but owing to its length and the cost of publishing same, we have decided not to have it pub lished with our presentments, nor have it placed on minutes. We commend the committee for their faithful service. We have appointed from this body W. I. Dixon, C. E. Davis and T. A. Brunddage to confer with the former board of county com missioners, with a view of per fecting a settlement for the’ amount overdrawn by them as appears in auditor’s report. We have empowered them to employ counsel if necessary and make such settlement as they think right. We recommend that they be paid $3 per'day for their ser vice. We further recommend that the convict warden be required to keep a book showing the amount of provisions, feed stuff and tools received by him each month. We find two road machines and quite a lot of other tools exposed to the weather. We recommend that they be gotten up and placed under shelter in some convenient place. We commend Mr. Eady for faithful service rendered as con vict warden. We recommend that these presentments be published in the Irwinton Bulletin and $5 be paid for same. We desire to return thanks to his honor, Judge Park for his able and comprehensive charge which has been so helpful to uS in our deliberations, and also to Col. Pottle, solicitor, for many courtesies extended this body. J. H. DUGGAN, IL D. HUGHES, Foreman. Secretary. Let the foregoing general pre sentments be published as rec omniei.ded. JAS. B.
