Grand Jury's Recommendations
Tax Returns Too Small.

Waycross, Ca. April 2S-The books of
J. A Cason, the superintendent Of the
ware county Dauper farm, show the fol-
lowing expenditures from April to Dec.
g. 1898, Inclusive: For permanent improve
ments, a,l44.34; digging 1852 stumps, SELLS;
general expenses. $1,2l0.3s; making a total
expended of S2,497 50. The average ex-
penses for the period specified were s134. As
per month. For the first three months of
this year there was a total expenditure OF
S659.99. $276.50 for permanent improvements
and SlS3.7O for digging 1887 stumps the
average expense for that period of time
was SSS:26 per month. in one years time
the manager has dug 2, 499 stumps from the
pauper farm
According to the report of the grand
jury the county treasurer's books show
the status of the finances of the county
as follows: Borrowed from sundry indi-
viduals, $1,000; vouchers paid out of this
amount, S3,O63.62; vouchers issued and not
presented for payment s516.64; leaving
balance on hand for current expenses,
s., 42OO4
The grand jury believes. in great
many instances, the property in Ware
county has not been returned for more
than one-hah of its value, as an illustra-
ton shows that the total returns for the
entire amount of money on hand, or in
are 1923, 444.O0. which is less than the ex-
act amount on deposit in the two banks
in Waycross, subject TO checks. In view
of this the grand jury recommended that
a board of equaiizers be instituted for the
county.
Among the most important recommen-
dations made by the grand jury in their
general presentment are: The appoint
ment of Ben Sirmans as a member of the
Board of Educat ton of Ware county to
fill the unexpired term of Henry c. Will
liams deceased; that A. P. Pittman and
Abram Music, now on the pension list,
being deserters in the army, have their
names stricken from the pension roll; that,
the advertising of the county be given to
the Waycross Journal; that the County
Commissioners open new road from
Johnson avenue. beginning at Johnson
mill, and running due east to the Way
cross and Blackshear road, interesting
it at the end of George Turner's lane.
That owing to the fact that a Dill now
pending in the general assembly of Geor-
gia, to abolish the Board of County
Commissioners for Ware county, the
grand jury deems it pertinent, that the
interest of the county has been well serv-
ed and does not believe 1t to be for the
best interest of the county that this bill
should become a law; that a bridge over
Kettle creek, on the Waycross and Wares
boro road, be built as soon as the county
finances will admit.
Little Blanche, the infant daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. o.. j. Allen, died at their
residence in this city yesterday at 1890
o'clock, and will be buried to-day in
Lofts cemetery.

DRIVING ROD STRUCK HIM.
Carson's Head Mashed and His Skull
Fractured.

Helena, Ga, April 2S.-Mr. j. r. N. Car
son of this place met with a sad acci-
dent this morning about 2:45 o'clock. He
had been working at his saw mill night
and day for the last few days, getting
hands to load cars and work at the mill
and this morning it is supposed he went
west along the Georgia and Alabama Rail
road to get some hands living in that vi
cinity.
When about a mile west of the Georgia
and Alabama depot he sat down on the
side of the embankment and fell asleep,
his head almost reaching the rail. Wien
the train came along the driving rod Of
the engine struck him on che forehead,
cutting three bad gashes and fracturing
The skull, and also causing the back of
his head to strike the crosstie. cutting it
badly and possibly fracturing that part
of the skull as well.
He was brought home. and DIR. o. w.
Turner and DR., j. L. Frazer of Helena
attended him. Mr. Carson, while seri-
ously hurt, may recover. but is now I'M
conscious Some eXcitable people started
a story of assault and robbery and had
the sheriff of Dodge county come with
his dogs to track the supposed assailant,
but upon examination he saw that there
was no doubt of the injury having been
caused by the train and probably as stat.

scendants, whom he found 20 be as clever
and as able as their worthy sires The
judge referred to the fact that fifty wears

PIECE OF SAM HOSES FLESH.
GTUEsOME PACKAGE SENT TO DR.
RROUGHTON OF ATLANTA.

An Insulting Letter with II Ordered
Him TO Leave Atlanta within Six
DAYS or suffer the Consequences.

Newman Mob-Dr. Broughton, Of
Course. VIII Pay No Attention to

Atlanta. April % DIR. L. G Broughton,
pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist church
has received through the mail package
uIrportine 20 come from a committee of
Palmetto citizens. containing piece Of
the flesh Of sam Hose and letter notify
ing him that he would be given six days m
which TO ieave Atlanta.
Dr. Broughton, says that this insult only
bears out The statement ne made from the
pulpit Sunday night, condemning the ac-
ton Of the mob at Newman, which con-
domination has incensed many people who
indorsed the lyuching Of the negro.
The letter which accompanied the grue-
some package was obscene in the extreme,
and, among other things, called Dr.
BrouEhton dog" who was held in con-
tempt and condemned by ali good people
in the community at Palmetto.
Along with the hesh were several onions
and some lettuce salad.
The note stated that as Dr. Broughton
admired Sam Hose so much as to defend
him from the pulpit, and denounce the
action of the mob the committee recon-
mended THAI he have the flesh made into
Brunswick stew.
Neither the letter nor the package bore
a postmark. They had evidently been
posted on the train.
After reading the note and seeing the
contents of the package, DR.. Broughton
destroyed both. The piece of negro flesh
was about the size of a hens egg, and
was a most horrible looking object.
