committee we desire to examine
the county's financial affairs over
such period of time, even going
behind examinations of former
grand juries if necessary, as will
show the true, correct and exact
status of the county affairs and
the true and correct amount of
money in the hands of any officer
charged with the collection and
paying out of any money, and the
amount which should be in his
hands.
This action we think must be
commended by the citizens of the
county as being for their protec.
ton and information; it must be
commended by the faithful and
honeet public officers, as a meth
cd of showing their acts and ac-
counts to be honest and upright,
and proclaiming their capacity
and ability to fill their Offices
with honor and credit to them
selves and safety and justice to
the county; and will be a recon-
mendation of them which will in.
sure to them the continued trust
and confidence of the voters of
the county. 1t will only be fear
ed by those who have been negli-
gent and faith1ess in the per-
Torrance of their duties; and as
against the officers the taxpayers
and citizens of the county have
the right to be and should be pro"
tected. Such officers should be
exposed, degraded and punished;
and proper actions instituted, if
necessary, on their bonds for the
protection of the county. We
do not take this action in the be-.
lief that any of our officers are
dishonest, but because any en-
ployer has the right to investi-
gate and require an account of
his servants, as well to mete out
rewards as to inf1ict punishment.
"Pub1ic office is a public trust"
and the public has the right to
know those who have been guided
by this motto; and should like
wise be protected against those
who conduct their official duties
upon a less plane. We trust
that the affairs of the county will
be found correct, and our officers
honest and true. We recommend
if necessary that the com mittee-
men named select an expert ac-
countant from another if neces-
sary, only looking 10 the fact
that he shall be competent and
faithful. His compensation, we
recommend, be agreed upon in
advance or fixed by the other
members of the committee; and
we ask that the Judge of this
court sanction employment of
such expert on these terms.
This grand jury might go fur
Their and make many more recon-
mendations which we think would
be for the benefit of the county
and the projections of it's affairs.
but we desist, not only on account
of having made many recommen-
dations in these presentments
already, but likewise for the fur
Their reason that we have observed
a tendency on the part of our Of
fcia1s, as we'll as in other coun-
ties, to ignore and pass over the
recommendations of grand juries
and committees. As heretofore
stated our officials have ignor-
ed accommodations of former
grand juries, and we cannot but
doubt that they may be Inclined
to ignore some of those contained
herein. We bring this tendency
on the part of officials to the at
tentiou of the court, aud recon-
mend that the court take such
steps as will insure proper at

! dangerous to the trav-

served, and have actually suffered
by reason of the present method
of awarding contracts on bridges
to persons without advertise
ment, either for material or lab
or, we recommend that in the flu
ture no material for bridges be
bought or contracts be awarded,
where the outlay will exceed 500
without due advertisement there
of and solicitation of bids there
for; and especially do we desire
proper bonds taken from con-
tractors building or repairing
bridges, for the due protection of
the county in case of inefficient
work, violation of contract, accl-
dents or suits for damages.
We find that general dissatis-
faction exists throughout the
county, especially among the
merchants, at the present method
of purchasing supplies for the
county changing. Disliking to
indict the county officials con-
trolling the chaingang for the
methods of obtaining such sup
plies from themselves, or rela-
tives, or from business wherein
they are interested directly or
indirectly, we take the alternative
of condemning in unmeasured
terms such practices, and of
warning our officials against such
violations of law: which Goes not
apply to Mr.. Calf the new COM
missioner and in the event they
persist in disregarding the law,
and this warning, we urge upon
the next grand jury to investi-
gate, indict, and prosecute for all
such violations of law, both in the
past and such as may occur be-
tween now and their assem- bling.
We call their attention especially
to sections 6072 and 6073 of Van
Epps Code Supplement, or acts
of 1898 page los, relating is such
practi ces.
On the first day of the present
term of court, it was the duty,
by law, of various officers of the
county to present reports and to
submit for inspection their books,
vouchers, accounts, etc. Many
of the officers, to.wit: every Of
ficer except the County School
Commissioner, failed to do so.
We requested the various county
officers to prepare and submit to
us under oath statements show
ing the condition of the county
county affairs in so far.as their
respective offices we're concern
ed, in order to facilitate our ex-
aminations. Except as to the
officers whose books we have
hereinbefore reported on, no
statements were submitted as
requested, except by Judge of
County Court.

ADDED tnat they acquired anu
maintained their domion largely
BY the building and maintaining
of those great roads which are
perhaps the most enduring
monuments in material way OF
ali their prowess and wisdom.
So enduring did they build them,
that many of them have been
maintained for over two thous-
and years in a state of good re-
pair. We do not steem tax
levied for the improvement of
public roads and highways as
being in the nature of a burden,
when properly collected and ex-
pended. On the other hand, we
believe such a tax the best pay
ing of all investments, some OF
its results being, shorter and
better lines of communication,
mot only saving time to travel
1ers, but facilitating the market
ing Of crops and saving of wear
and tear on stock and vehicles;
but the greatest result is the
large and remunerative enhance
ment of values of adjacent pro-
perty, especially real estate.
Believing that our county
ahou1d take high rank in the best
methods of working and main
aiming roads, bridges and high
ways and because the present
system and management is def
lent in many respects for secur-
ug the best results. we recon-

JAS. B. CLEMENTS,
County Judge.
In the limited time at our dis
posal, we have found it impossl-
BILE to make anything like thor
ough examination of the County
affairs. And we attach hereto
and submit without comment the
reports submitted by the officers
complying with our request to
furnish statements.
Not having the time ourselves
to properly do so, and believing
the affairs of a county so large
and important as ours should be
examined with great thorough
ness at frequent intervals, its
exact statue ascertained and pub
1ished for the benefit of the tax
payers and citizens, as we'll as
for the protection and common
dation of faithful officials, and the
detection and punishment of the
dishonest and incompetent offic-
ials, we have appointed as COM
mittee of three, Messrs. J. E.
Mercer, Chairman, FL. G. Taylor
and r. L. Henderson, and an ex-
pert accountant to be selected
and employed by them, and au-
thorizec and instructed them to
examine all the records, books,
accounts, documents, papers,
vouchers, receipts and disburse.
ments, and to count the cash in
the hands of the various officers,
relating to the county's affairs.
We have charged this committee
to devote all the time necessary
to the accomplishment of their
work to the duty assigned them;
and have instructed them to en-
p1oy and associate with them in
this investigation an expert ac-
countant. This instruction and
authority we exercise by right
of the visitorial powers of the
Superior Court over the county's
affairs, and and the law author

tee as composed, and the right to
pay for their services is decided
by the Supreme Court in the
case of Chatham County VS.. Gau-
dry, eft. AL, 100 Georgia Reports,
page 121; and we ask that the
Judge of this Court allow for
such expenses out of the contin-
gent expenses of the Superior
Court, as decided in SAID case.
We call the attention of said COM
mittee to the duties imposed I'M
der sections S37, S3S and $50 of
the penal code, upon them. In
addition to the examination of
tue papers, disbursements, re-
ceipts, documents, books, ac-
counts, etc, relating to the couc-
tvs affairs, we instruct the ex-
pert accountant to be EN- p1oyed
to examine into the methods of
bookkeeping used by our ofic-
ers for the accounts of the coun-
ty; and to recommend such
changes and improvements as
will insure greater accuracy, and |
