1t should he noted that considerable part Of the
amount paid to Road Commissioners for general
work tor partial repairs to roads for which you
fad make contracts in the spring OF 1854. Nearly
all of these roads now in the charge OF Superv-
sors who are obligated to keen them in the c0ndi-
ton required by law ut a stiru ated price.
The levy for this year has ,een made at the rate
of IS cents the 500. The increase in several
items of ordinary expense has added cents to the
usual rate; cents was re- uired to provide $1,000
deficiency account an, 5 cents for unfinished
flood work. As will he seen, but for these items,
the levy for 1885 could have been made at rate OF
81 cents.
Notwithstanding the heavy and increasing de-
mands on the County Treasury, no unreasonable
delay has been made in the settlement OF claims
against the county. and no step backward taken in
the gradual movement tow0rd Il strictly cash basis
commenced in 1882 since which time the amount OF!
claims carried over from one levy to another has
been reduced about $4,000. The statement OF liza
bilties shows that only a small amount is made up
of floating claims and these are more than covered
by the cash in hand

The average number of inmates was
largely in excess of last year, when it
reached only As. There was an increase
int he number of tramps and meals furnish
ed to them, and also in the number of
births and deaths. The purchase of rev
machinery at an outlay of $3.50 two
horses at 1865, and the erection of fencing
along the new county road through the
farm at a cost of 1882, in addition to
the extra expense on account of tramps
and inmates, will explain the increase in
expenditures for the past year.

The paper read before the Georgia Bar
Association last week by Judge VIM. NJ.
Reese, OF Washington, on the constitu-
tions of Georgia, is an interesting and in
structive one. In it is given brief
history as well as analysis of the eight
constitutions which have been in force in
the State since its organization.
The rules of government formulated by
the Provincial Congress in 17T6 are not
considered constitution. The first con-
stitutiou was adopted by a convention
composed OF delegates from the thirteen
parishes and the towns of Savannah and
Sunbury in TIT. This was a crude de-
claratiOn OF the fundamental laws of the
State, and was succeeded by the cOnstl-
tuition of 1883. This last was itself soon
displaced by that of 1898, which was in.
tended to be only temporary, and wac
succeeded by that OF 1913.
The excellence of the constitution OF
l79S is attested by the fact that it re-
manned in force, with few amendments,
until the secession of the State in 1861,
when what is known as the confederate
constitution of Georgia" was adopted.
AT the end of the war in 1865 eonven.
ton was called which formed new CON
stitutiOn, again acknowledging the sOver.
eighty of the United States. This consti
tuition was recognized by the courts
throughout the state, but it did not suit
the Republicans in Congress, and Georgia
was kept under military government and
denied its rights as State in the Union
until the constitution OF 1868 was
adopted and the State declared
fully reconstructed. The constitution
Of 1868 was in the main an excal
lent one. II was superior in many re.
spects to any which had been in force
before. and to that now in force; but il
contained some Odious provisions, and
there was much prejudice agains st it be
cause it was forced upon the people by
| bayOnets.''
The eighth and last constitution, thai
adopted in 1877, is the one now in force
and which stands, Judge Reese claims, in
urgent need of amendment in several Of
its most important provisions.
The paper is rather long, but is worthy
Of careful consideration in connection
with other able papers of Judge Reese'I
on the present constitution, its defects
and needed amendments.

recognition and patronage OF the pubic
The promoters relic entirely on what Is tc
be paid In by exhibitors for the payment
OF current expenses and for dividends.
1t is suggested that the consuls of tire
United States throughout tie world might
be furnished with samples of products
and catalogues Of American manutHe-
/ lures, so that they might each have a KIM
OF miniature permanent American eXhl4
btiOn in their Offices. They might get
prices and obtain authority as agents, 30
that they could largely extend American
trade by making sales on commission.
Many Of them now act as agents for indi-
yidual American houses, no doubt.
Some commercial associations OF Ber-
lin are preparing exhibitions to extend
German trade on somewhat different
plan.
number of vessels are being fitted up
for the special purpose of displaying sam
pies of German manufactured goods.
These vessels are to visit the most impOr-
tant ports of southern Europe and Africa
and remain a longer or shorter time at
each port, as may be advisable. The eXhi-
exhibitors are TO pay for the space taken
in the vessels in displaying their wares.
At each port commercial men and the
people generally Will be invited to visit
the ships and inspect the exhibits, and, of
course, orders Will he taken for goods to
DO shipped by ordinary TRANSFORMATION
routes from Germany.
These methods Of attempting TO extend
trade and find markets are cOmmendable
if they are properly conducted, but IS the
tariff laws of bOth this country and Ger
many prevent, to Il considerable extent,
the taking of the products of other coun-
tries III exchange for exports, the success
OF these stationary and floating exhibit
tons must be necessarily limited though
probably not as much 80 as that of Con-
gressiOn8l commissions. They can do no
harm, however, and as a means of adver-
Using, with a view to realizing there
from in the future, they will doubtless
pay most of those who take space in
them.
1t is stated that there are several per-
manent exhibitions of samples in Europe,
which have been in successful operation
for some time, one Of the most notable of
which is that at Antwerp; and it is possi-
bic that different governments will event.

hiDltiOns in the principal commercial cen
