Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1910-06-09

F. P. Jones shows some errors, in
that, certain criminal cases have been
discontinued without trial. We find
the books of Mr.. J. I. Hudson incor-
rectly kept; most likely due to phys
ical disability. We recommend that
instead of writing across the lines, as
is the case in some instances, that the
entries be made as the books indicate
We find also in Justice Motifs books
that he failed to enter the cost in
some instances, and in a few other
cases, failed to sign his name, other
wise, they are well kept.
The following officers failed to send
in their books until too late for ex-
animation: ]. G. Feagin, B. F. Mar
ket, T. ]. Harden.
We find there are three vacancies in
the County Board of Education, and
balloting resulted in the election 81
Messrs. K. M. Mcdonald, ]. C. Carter
and DR.. A. j. Logan to fill these Of
fees for another term.
We find from the records that the
terms of office of the Notaries Public
and Ex-officio Justice of the Peace ex-
pire as follows:
756 District, G. NJ, Aug. 81, 1910.
S84 District, G. NJ, July 81, 1910.
759 District, G. NJ, August 81, 1910
1907 District, G. NJ, June 81, 1910.
We recommend the appointment OF
E. S. Feagin, J. 1. Hitler, J. F. Mich
olson and W. A. Webb, respectively
to fill these places.
We recommend that the office of
County Treasurer of Sumter County
be abolished, and the Clerk of the
Board of County Commissioners be
entrusted with the county funds, I'M
der proper bond, and that his remun-
GRAFTON for such work be fixed by the
Board of County Commissioners, and
that our Representative in the Legis-
lature be instructed to secure the pas
sage of law to this effect
We recommend that all county Of
ficers in Sumter County be put on a
salary basis, and that our Representa-
tiVes be instructed to support such
measure in the next General AS
sembly
We recommend that all persons
driving automobiles be required to use
more discretion in driving their ma
chimes on the public highways. We
especially recommend that persons
under sixteen years of. age be not al
lowed to drive automobiles, except in
company with older and experienced
persons. In passing teams on the pub
lie highways, automobiles must signal
the teams and pass to the left, going
at the rate of not over twenty miles
per hour. On meeting team on pub
lie highway, automobiles must signal
and slow down to twenty miles an
hour, and pass to the right of the
team.
We wish to thank the Honorable Z.
A LittlejOhn for his most able charge
to this body, and congratulate this
Circuit in having it's affairs in such
efficient judicial keeping.
We also wish to express our thanks
to the Solicitor General for his help
during our session.
We recommend that these presentm-
ments be published in the Americas
Times-Recorder.
We have engaged Miss Alice Noll to
make a typewriter copy of these
presentments, and we recommend that
she be paid for same.
Respectfully submitted,
F. w. GRIFFIN, Foreman.
