A PLEA FOR THE UNFORTU-
NATE

The man who is addicted to periodi-
cal spells of drinking, and that, too,
when he seems to have no power to re-
sist the evil, is the man above all 9TH
er men that ought to want the Internal
stuff put beyond his reach; and, as a
rule, all such men are in favor of the
strictest sort of prohibition. They are
just as fraid Of whi,key as they could
be of rattlesnake, because it has been
their downfall many and many time,
and they are yet striving against it !;
but they often shud!er at the possibil
ity of being entrapped again by it, aud
for fear such might be the case they
are not only willing but are anxious to
see it put beyond their reach. There
are hundreds of men all over this
country that will say amen to the
above; they recognize it not only as
the language of truth, but experience
and cheerfully would they fly from the
evil but they cannot-they have no
power to resist it, and they call upon
their more fortunately constituted fell
low men to help them drive it from the
country. The writer knows one man
at least, who would, to-day submit to
the amputation of his right arm, if he
could only know that it would forever
protect him against the awful and fear
full influences Of liquor. The man who
is thus constituted is to be pitied, and
no more nobler act could be perform
ed on the part Of the man who doesn't
drink than to help such an one to free
himself from it's influences. This we
make as a personal appeal to the good
and true men of Terrell county, in be-
half of that unfortunate class who have
gone so far that they can no longer
resist it. You say that it will be no
deprivation to you to abolish whiskey
from the land-that you don't drink nc
how-and u.at You would like to see
yonr fellow men sober and upright citi.
zcns Then we plead with you in the
name of humanity give us your vote
and your inAuencein putting it beyond
the reach of that class who seem ia
have no power to resist it. There arc
many, many arguments that can be us.
ed in favor of prohibition, but this We
consider appeals more directly to the
better natures of men than any that
can be used.

COUNTY FARM.

We find the farm to be in good
repairs with the exception Of some
fencing which will be attended to
as soon as the opportunity affords.
We find that there were raised on
the farm for the year 1882, 375
bushels of oats, 484 bushels Of
corn, 1000 lbs Of fodder, s bales Of
cotton, 250 bushels of cotton seed,
Is bushels of sweet potatoes and
1900 lbs pork. We find plenty of
field peas and ground peas to
plant the next. crop. And we find
five paupers on the farm, 2 whites
and 3 colored, and we find that
they are not as well cared for as
they should be. There are s
invalid paupers who are not on the
farm receiving rations Of the coun-
ty because, for them, it was impos-
lble to procure suitable nurses.
There were four deaths on the
farm last year, / white and 3 col
ored. There are 30 heads of hogs
on the farm. And we find the
mules and wagon in good condi-
ton. There are sixteen acres
sown N oats. The Ordinary has

WE recommend that sufficient
bed clothing be furnished to keep
the paupers warm and also recon-
mend that in addition to the food
already furnished that suitable
quantities of rice, coffee, sugar and
syrup be supplied when necessary.
In our opinion the farm is great
saving to the our county in taking
care OF her paupers.
JUSTICES OF THE PEACE AND NoTA-

sHERIFF's BOOKS.

We have examined the books of
our late Sheriff, Mr.. L. NJ. Roberts,

the exception that in some instan-
ces he has failed to make entries
Of levys and sales on his books.
We would earnestly recommend
that the sheriff make entries of all
levys and sales of property.

we recommend that our represen-
tatives in the next General Assem-.
bly, use their influence to secure
the passage of a bill now pending,
providing for the registration of
ali qualified voters.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
WE have examined the Jail
House and find it neatly kept and
secured. We find that the lower
rooms need painting, and recon-
mend that they be repainted. We
find the out houses in good repair
and all the fencing, except the
middle line, which needs repair
ing, and we recommend that it be
attended to ut once. We have ex-
amined the offices Of the Ordinary
and Clerk, and find them in good
condition, We find the Court
House in good repair, except the
tin roof, which is in a leaky
condition, and would recommend
that new tin be put on and an
opening be made from outside
lobby through the ceiling and roof
and trap door and ladder be furn-
ished 50 as the top Of the build
ing will be accessible in case Of
fire or repairs. We also find the
water closet under the stairway to
be nuisance in its present condi-
ton, and recommend that it be
locked and opened only during
Superior Court Sessions. We re-
commend that the outside doors
be locked ami the blinds also
closed at night and during inclem-
ent weather.
PUBLIC ROADS AND BRIDGES.
WE find that prior to the late
and continued rains the roads
were in good condition and that
the bridges were properly cared
for, except the one known as the
Herrod town bridge, which is con-
sidered unsafe and dangerous; but
since the late heavy rams, in con-
sequence of much hauling over
wet lands the roads over the entire
county are unaviodably bad. We
note that the causeways for foot
men are not properly cared for,
and recommend that greater care
be taken in making necessary
footways across wet and boggy
places.

TAX RECEIVER.

TAA RECEIVER.
The books OF this officer are
very neat and correct as far as we
can ascertain. We find that the
total amount of property returned
in 1882 is 81, AL, $4,000. We have
endeavored to ascertain if any
lands have been given in at too
low valuation, and we find that
much of It, in various parts Of the
county, has been returned at $500
per acre, and some at less value.
We have prepared a list Of such
lands which we believe to have
been returned at less than their
true value and have furnished the
same to the Tax Receiver, as the
law directs.
TAX COLLECTOR.
WE have made no examination
of the Collectors books, as they
are not yet closed up. We believe
the duty of examining and report
ing on these books should be left
to the Grand Jury at the May
term of court, as this officer will
have by that time his business in
shape to make a complete report.
From this officer we learn that he
has collected as special tax for the
year 1882 $4,000, and find that he
has paid out the same, for which
he has proper vouchers. We find
that a large per cent of the Poll
Tax of Terrell county is uneollect-
ed every year and in our Judge
ment our collectors have not, at
all times, used proper diligence in
collecting the same, thereby our
county has sustained unnecessary
loss, and therefore would recon-
mend that, in the future, the prop
er officers give special attention to
this important matter.
JAILoR.
WE have examined the books OF
the Jailor and find them kept in
accordance with the law.
ILLEGAL VOTING.
We are satisfied that there have
been instances of illegal voting al
elections heretofore held in this
county. This violation Of the law
should not longer be tolerated ;and
