Endorsed by Jury.

The Glynn county grand jury ad- |
iourned yesterday afternoon and the
general presentments were read in the
superior court. Some important rec
concentrations were made by the body.
Especially did they urge good roads in
this county, suggesting that road
expert be employed by the county.
Some Of the more important recon-
mendations made were the following:
For Good RosAs.
We believe that one of the most
important problems to be solved by
the public, and especially the people
of this section, is the question of good
roads and drainage; these two pub
lie improvements should, in our judg
ment, go hand in hand, and should
always be considered the one with the
other; indeed, We are led to believe
from the investigation and advice of
experts upon these questions, that each
of these systems should be so planned
and maintained as to assist in the
maintenance of the other and while
We relieve that our commissioners of
roads and revenue are doing all that
they possibly can with the means now
at their command to perfect and
maintain a system of good roads and
drainage, and while we take pleasure
in commencing the ability of our pres.
ent superintendent of the convict
gang, we realize that in order for us
to have the greatest advantage of all
work that Is done and the full benefit
and value of all monies expended in
these great public improvements, this
work should be done under the super
vision of some one skilled, both tech
nically and practically in such work,
and, therefore, we recommend that the
commissioners of roads and revenue
at once employ an engineer under
whose supervision all future drainage
and road work be done; and along this
line we offer the suggestion that it
may be possible that the county auth
critics of Brunswick whereby the city
engineer of Brunswick should be the
joint officer of the city and county,
with consequent saving to both.
we commend the recommendation
of his excellency, Joseph NJ Brown,
governor Of Georgia, in his recent
message to the legislature upon the
subject of the establishment of state
road commission and a road commits
sioner for each county"
Judge krauss Endorsed.
We take pleasure in commencing
to his excellency, the governor OF our
state, the application of Hon. D. w.
Krauss for reappointment as Judge Of
the city court of Brunswick Judge
Krauss in his administration of the
law has won an enyiable record on the
bench; and we believe that if he is
reappointed by the governor as judge
of said city court such reappointment
viii meet the warm approval of a ma
sority of the law-abiding citizens of
our county He is fearless in the dis
charge of his duty as judge, his decis-
ions as rule meet with the affirm
ance of the appellate court. and his
promptness in the dispatch of civil
and criminal business of his court has
the appreciation of the people of our
county. We hope that the executive
will reappoint Judge Krauss as Judge
of said court.
For NeA" County Line.
Whereas, application has been
made in due form by H F. duBignon,
citizen of Glynn county, Georgia,
