To the Grand Jury and It's Hon
orable Chairman May Term Supe-
rior Court, Sumter County, Ga) J: We
your Committee to examine Justice
Peace's Books, beg to submit the fol
lowing: We have examined the
books of Justices J. |. Hitler, E. s..
Ferguson, J. o. Jones, f. w. Griffin
and j. N. Carter (these being the on
ly ones I'M. We find them all to be
neatly kept and apparently correct
We find that there are some irregu-
larities in columns where constable's
cost is supposed to be listed. Mr..
Griffin and Carter explain this in this
way: That the constable does not
furnish them with an itemized cost
list in some cases, and that they have
no way IF keeping up with it unless
this is furnished them by the consta-
bic. We think that the constable
should be required to show what his
cost consists of. Then the Justices
books would be regular, and there
would be no trouble in future COM
mittees checking over the Justices
books. Respectfully submitted.
This the LIST day of June, 1921.

Your committee appointed to In
spect County Farm, beg to submit
the following report:
We found Mr.. j. l.. CoIlum in
charge of the farm, and from what
we could see and learn this farm is
well handled by the superintendent
who is in charge. We find six in
mates on the farm. and they all say
that they are we'll cared for, they
have quantities of vegetables of all
kinds, which is quite a help in feed
ing the cOnvicts.
This farm gathered and threshed
about 1875 bushels Of wheat and
about 5000 bushels of oats, and
quite a lot Of other feed stuff; they
have 2 head of mules on farn, and
about 60 head Of hogs, all in good
condition. We find the main build
ing in need of some repairs, steps to
same are in bad condition. Respect
fully submitted.
This June 1st, 1921.

We your Committee on Court
House and Jail, beg to max the fol
lowing report:
We have found the court house to
be we'll kent, and in good condition,
except the floor to the front porch
upstairs. which is decayed and is
dangerous to use. We recommend
that this be fixed at once,
We find the Jail in good condition
and is we'll looked after by the sheriff.
The recently installed electric lights
add much to the convenience of the
sheriff and the prisoners. A coat of
paint on the inside would add much
to the looks of the Jail, Respect
fully submitted

We, the undersigned Committee
appointed to Examine the Books of
County Tax Receiver wish to re
port that we found the books kept
very neat and plain but we wish to
recommend that the people of Sum
ter county be URGED to make their re-
turns on their property, as we found
that a great many had failed to do 50.
And we especially call your attention
to the New 10Th District, where not
more than 40%c of the people have
made any returns. On account Of
the property not having been return
ed the Tax Receiver has copied and
used previous returns.
