, Cne otner two were accepted.
1t is now Believed that, after a
hard effort, the jury will be made up
and the Introduction of testimony
will begin this morning. 1t all de
pends on the number Of additional
Jurors who have been SUNNI noJ to
appear in court this morning. Be
sides the jurors in the military com
pany and the band. several who have
been out OF the city during the past
few days have returned and they
were at once summoned by the sher
if ana his force.
There was nothing Of unusual in
terest in the case yesterday. the en-
tire day being devoted to tle eXamin-
ing OF the iurirsff. Later in the after
noon the lawyers clashed once or
twice over an effort made by w. W
Bennett leading counsel for the de-
fense, to ask jurors questions after
they had qualified. The states at
torneys claimed that the defense had
no right to cross examine a juror al
ter he had qualified
The fact that the defense has only
three more strikes left will probably
cause the att rneys to be careful in
their strikes today and it is believed
that the first juror, who appears to
the liking IF the defense, will be ac-
cepted. The state as has been the
case all along. will not strike any one
who qualities unless it has some good
reason.
1t will be known 1y noon today
whether or not the defendants are to
be tried in Glynn county Or whether
it will again be necessary for
change Of venue, which means that
the case will be transferred to some
other county in the state.

One more juror is needed to make

ing Smith, and there are only twelve
or fifteen more available jurors in the
entire county. The defense has buI

has l5 Whether or not the one ad-
ditiCnal juror will be secured this
morning depends entirely on how
many of those summoned will quail
fy. If four announce that they are
qualified to serve on the jury, then
it is practically certain that the case
will be tried in Glynn county This
will allow the defense its three
strikes with the one additional juror
Unless the state has SINE unusually
good cause it will not strike at all
All yesterday was spent in examin-
ing jurors and several times during
the day Judge COnyers announced a
short recess in order to await the ar
rival of additional men. 1t was eX-
Iected that the Brunswick Rifemen
and the First regiment hand would
return to the city, which would have
furnished the court several mere iur-
ors, but the military special was de-
layed by a washout on the A., B. &
A, and the organizations did not ar
rive. 1t is expected, however, that
all of those in the two organizations.
whose names are in the jury Dox.
will be in court this morning.
This is the first time in the history
of Glynn county that the jury box
has been completely exhausted in the
effort to secure twelve men to try
case. And never Before have so
many Glynn county jurors disqual-
lied for being constitutionally cppos-
ed to capital punishment. In one
panel Of six men examined yester-
day, five weH down for this cause.
Only Two Secured.
During yesterday only two jurors
were secured, T. G. Clark was ac-
cepted by both sides during the morn
ing session and late in the afternoon
lsham Gay was accepted filling one
of the two vancant seats left on the
jury. Three more jurors qualified
after he was accepted, two of them
being excused by the defense and one
by tn state.

the doubling of its teacher force and
expenses. The financial condition CT
the schools of Brunswick is critical
and unless something is done where
by sufficient funds are placed in the
hands of the board of education for
their support Of necessity, they must
fail, and all that has been done for
many years in their up-building Will
be lost"

! We did not visit the several
schools of our city Or county due to
the fact that they are not in session.
Your committee consulted with
Prof. Ballard, superintendent of the
schools, and went over the matter
| thoroughly, in conversation with him
We understand that all schools are in
good condition, being well attended,
and closed a very successful term
this spring, being equipped with the
very best teachers in all grades.
After going over very carefully the
financial condition of our schools,
we regret that we find, we are ap-
preaching a very serious condition in
this department, and unless some
thing is done in the very near future
to relieve this state of affairs our
board of education will be ccmpell-
ed to close the schools for lack of
funds with which to pay the current
expenses, teachers, etc.
We are advised that with the en-
rollment of approximately four hun
dred and fifty children (45O) in 1902
3, there was five thousand dollars
more appropriated for the support
Of the schools, than in 1910, with an
enrolment of nine hundred (900)
children, with these facts you can
readily realize the increase of ex-
pense for teachers, ETC., and the ne
cessity of some action being taken
that will provide sufficient funds for
the support of cur schools.
Facing approximately Ton Jan. 1,
1917 deficit of twenty-four thousand
dollars, you will at once see the ne
cessity of some provision being made
for the schools being able TO oper-
ate during the balance of the year of
1910, and the year of 1911.
We would also recommend that it
be submitted to a vote of the people
to direct the mayor and city council
to pay ever to the board of educa-
ton a sufficient pro rata of their rev.
enue to support the public schools.
We think that this should not be
less than two tenths of one per cent
of the rate levied by city council,
which We understand is now one dcl-
lar and thirty cents per hundred dol
lars, with this change in the law
our schools will be better protected
and our school board will have some
thing definite upon which to regulate
their contracts and finance the great
work OF cur schools.
Professor n. H. Ballard, secretary
board of education, submitted re-
port to your committee, and we think
covers the financial situation thor
oughly. This report we are handing
you attached hereto, and respectful |
ly request that it be embodied as a |
part of our report.
Il am herewith handing you fin
ahcial statement OF the board of edu-
cation Tor 1909 and also for the first
SIX mnoths of 1910. You will observe

We found the looks of the county
treasurer very neatly and correctly
kept and showing a balance of cash
on hand under date of June 18th, of
$3,26S50.
The reports of his office since the

in such shape that it was a very easy
matter to make thorough audit of

Sheriff.
The books of tAe Sheriff were ex-
amined and we found that he had
collected on tax fl fas, and interest
on same since the December term,
1909, the sum of $5,29S.24, and same
was promptly turned over to the tax
collector and his receipts show for
this amount
Clerk of Superior Court.
We found that the clerk of the SUI
perior court collected the sum of
$3.50 as witness fees since his last
report, and that it was turned over
by him to the county treasurer.
Ordinary.
The report of the ordinary shows
that he has collected no money and
disbursed no money of Glynn coun-
ty since his last report.
Tax Collector.
1t was impossible for your COM |
mittee to make a complete check of |
the books Of the tax collector for the |
reason that has prevailed heretofore, |
namely,-lack of sufficient time in
which to perform the work as it
should properly be done, and the lack |
of complete method of keeping the !
accounts of this office. However, his |
books were neatly and correctly |
kept as far as we could ascertain.
We submit you the following copy |
of his report as submitted to the |
