We also found a blacksmith shop
at the Mayes camp with tools for
same, and a workman to run said
shop, hired at $500 per day and
board. This camp has twenty-foug
mules with road machinery, etc, for
working the roads, and we found the
roads we Travelled over in reasonably
good condition, considering the ex-
tremeiy vet weather we have had
during the past winter.
We commend our road officers.
Messrs. Randall, Mayes and Morris,
for their good judgement in build
ing roads, and also for their man
agement of our county chain gang.
We also found twelve hogs at this
camp. Capt. Randall thinks the
Mayes camp will be ready to move
in about six weeks to Acworth Dis
trict, to remain and to work about
three months in Acworth and Ken
nesaW Districts.
We also visited the Westbrook
camp. This gang of prisoners is
termed the bridge gang. In this
camp they report twelve prisoners
and seven free men, ten mules and
nine hogs. The sanitary condition
is good. We commend Mr.. West
brook for his splendid judgement
and good work in building the
bridges throughout our county.
Capt. Randall thinks the Westbrooz
camp will be ready to move to the
Marietta headquarters for prisoners
in about two weeks.
At the Newt Morris Camp, located
in Merritts District, they report
thirtyfive prisoners, and ten free
men. We found the sanitary con-
ditions of said camp good. They re-
port for this camp twenty-four mules
with road machinery, etc, for work
ing the roads. We found twelve
hogs at this camp, also a blacksmith
shop with tools for same, and an eX-
pert blacksmith, a waite man, hired
at 10000 per month and board.
This workman can do all kinds of
building and repair work on the
machinery for bodybuilding pur-
poses.
Capt. Randall thinks the Morris
Camp will be ready to move from
Merritts district to Post Oak District
in about two months from date, then
this lot of prisoners will begin to
work in that section of our coun-
ty.
We also commend our county
Commissioners for their past good
judgement in the distribution of pri-
sCners for road work. We reconl-
mend a continuance Of said plan,
viz: an equal division of prisoners,
mules. tools, camp equipment, etc,
between Mr.. Mayes and Mr.. Morris
Mr.. Mayes to work on the West side
Of the Western & Atlantic Railroad,
and Mr.. Morris to work on the east
side of said railroad We recommend
that all public roads near enough
to said camps be worked in connec-
ton with the work on the main
roads to be graded, widened, etc.
Eighth.
We have, through committee, ex-
anined the offices and books of the
various county officers, and find
same neatly kept, and correctly
kept, so far as our limited time al

DEATH OF FATHER YOUNG

The announcement of the death

We hope that by another year the
financial condition of the county
will be such that this rate may be
reduced, and if the taxes increase
in the county warrants it, we recon-
mend that the Commissioners make
this rate even less than we have fix
ed it. This is the best we could 10
with the information we had before
us, the taxes not having been re-
turned as yet in Cobb County.
Fifth.
We find the Court House is being
kept in neat and sanitary manner,
and the same in good repair. We
recommend that the stairway de-
cending to the toilet be changed, and
that a door be cut out through tie
wall in front of the first landing Of
said stairs thereby entering the toilet
on a straight stairway from said
platform, and that the present omen
space now opening to other parts
under the Court House, be closed
Also that the present door to the
toilet be closed.
We also recommend that the wall
ed entrance to the Boiler Room On
the North side of the Court House
be covered. Also the windows to
the Toilet.
We also find the jail in good cen
dition, and it appears to be well
kept, and our Sheriff seems to he
alive to his duty.
Sixth.
We have, through Committee, en-
amined the Paupers Home and C0un-
ty Farm, and find the following
there: Two good mules, one two
horse wagon and harness, one spring
wagon, tools sufficient for the fam,
two milk cows and two yearlings.
one SOW and six pigs; 1900 poun Is
of pork; 240 bushels Of corn; 1000
bundles of fodder; % gallons Of
syrup; 40 bushels of wheat; u bu
shells of potatoes.
We find twelve inmates, eleven
white and one cclored, Everything

the inmates well cared for. The
houses are in good condition, and tie
farm in good condition: ten acres
sown in wheat and twelve acres
sown in oats, and a syrup mill. We
also find 80 bushels OF field peas.
We think Mr.. Paris the right man
in the right place.
Seventh.

amined the Convict Camps and
Roads, and make the following re-
port:
The County Superintendent u
Roads reported present at the Mayes
Convict Camp, thirty-two prisoners,

raj Routes, especially Route No. l
from Marietta, the roads are in bad
condition. We recommend that the
County Commissioners put all Rural
Routes in first class condition.
And we wish to urge the patrons
of the Rural Routes in the County 10
patronize the same, as we have learn.
ed an effort is being made to abolish
same, and they will be abolished un-
less they are patronized more than
they have been, and we want to call
the attention of the people of the
County to his important matter.

Hon. Nat e. Harris, probably the
last Confederate Soldier who will
