The Sentinel=record., 1912-12-11

the county farm, and found conditions there worthy the approval of this body.
 The houses and premises were cleanly and neat, and the sanitation as good as could be arranged there. The inmates appeared to be we'll sat- isfed with their treatment, and from their appearance this body believes these county charges nave been and are being well taken care of. We found all the property of the farm in good condition The proper ty Is listed as follows.
 Live stock--Four mules and one hors% six milch cows and forty-two hogs, eight yearlings and calves. Feed. vegetables and garden stuff 650 bushels of corn, five tons of sheaf oats, two tons Of corn fodder, 300 gal Ions of sorghum, 125 bushels of sweet potatoes 25 bushels of peas, l50 pounds of bacon, one ton of pea-vine hay. l30 bushels of wheat
 Number of inmates-10. of which six are male and four females. Six gre white and four negroes. Of the negroes, three are females.
 The real property consists of eight dwelling houses, two barns and mum erous outhouses. The general condi- ton of all the property indicates that it has been kept in excellent condi- tion
 We have maze some investigation of the manner and method of work on the county roads. We find that this work requires the greatest diligence in the manner of watchfulness and supervision. and that some fixed pol icy in the matter of building our roads would most likely result i'll better success The spring of 1912 was un- doubtedly one of the hardest on our county roads, and from that expe~t- ence. we believe something of result should follow We recommend that the county judge in the future try to concentrate the county road work 10 the end that whatever work is done shall be done in a permanent man ner. so that once an improvement is made. it will not have to be gone over agath after a period of hard weather. Our county is rich in road building materials, and we believe if q policy is adopted 70 build the roads with a hard and solid foundation, ex- pensive though it may seem at the time the road upkeep in time will be lessened From expressions of our citizens generally. who are interest ed in road improvement, we believe shey would lend talie county assistance in the matter of advancing money for such permanent road building as is herein indicated and we approve the plan of the county cooperating with public spirited residents in the mat ter of securing better roads along their lines.
 This jury finds that the game and fish laws are being flagrantly violat- ed. and this regardless of the fact that we have been unable to report indictments in this line. Game is be- ing killed out of season, and game is being marketed here in the city that the laws prohibit shall be sold. The parties the game is sold to- are loath to turn informers. We believe that deer are being slaughtered in the north part of the county by regular market hunters, who should be appre- hended We believe that quail are even are listed on city menus as Tsnow birds" or some such substitu- tion
 With this understanding of the sit uation, the individual members of the grand jury have pledged themselves to he on the alert for such information as will make for convictions of viola tions of the game laws in future cas- es, and have adopted a resolution in effect that it is the sense of this body that all of it's members are unofficial deputy game wardens for that period np to and including the period of the succeeding grand jury the purpose being to secure information and pre- sent it before the next grand jury.
 We know that the small streams of our county are being dynamited for fish a fragrant violation of the law and the usage of which custom is responsible for our streams not now abounding in fine game fish as bounty for such sportsmen as are willing to abide laws that will protect the fish and game.
 With our hearty and sincere thanks to the court, and the court officials for their cooperation with us in our labors. this grand fugy hegs to sub init this report. and to be excused from further service.
 Respectfully,
