split-log drag to the overseers as soon
as practicable to use same.
There have been few petty cases
called to our attention that should
have, we believe, been threshed ont
in the Township in which it occurred.
We believe your honor is correct when
he charged us, among other things, in
substance that a community is no bet
ter socially or morally than the major
ity of the citizens of that particular
community want II. A few of our
Justice of the Peace and Mayors are
not looking after the petty criminal
cases over which their offices have
jurisdiction as they should.
We find that the compulsory school
law of the state is being violated in
various districts. At the very bottom
of our government lies education, and
our school directors should inform
themselves of the law and do their
duty.
In some cases the law has been vio-
lated with no idea OF the offense of the
penalty that would result. We recon-
mend to the Justices of the Peace that
they ask permission from their respec-
tive school teachers to read the Statute
and explain the penalty Of some Of the
laws most commonly violated. Most
any teacher would, we believe, be clad
to give Justice thirty minutes every
two weeks to explain our criminal laws
to his children.
We have investigated the issuance
of illegal poll tax receipts about which
you called our attention. We find that
It has been the custom for some time
for an individual to secure poll-tax e.
ceipts for himself and as many of his
neighbors as was paid for. We think
this bad custom and recommend that
the officers having in charge the hand
ling c. such poll tax receipts, require
those requesting receipts to pres at
himself in person or mail receipt direct
to party wanting same
We have also investigated the re-
port that the sealed ballots, after they
had been turned over to the proper
officers by the County Central Commit
tee had been tampered with for the
purpose of finding out how persons
voted. We are unable to secure any
evidence that this has been done.
We wish 70 tender our thanks to
the court. Hon. j. c. Ashley for his

Der 81, and had not sought reelection

warrant was issued by J.. Carol Cone,
auditor of state, and served on his
bondsmen in Lawrence county, who
paid the shortage.
Although the indictments were not
served tonight, it is said that it was
in connection with this shortage Of ap-
proximately $4,000 that the true bills
charging embezzlement were returned

bonding company, which seeks to OBJ
tain the amount Of the shortage paid

We found ten inmates, five men and
FIVE women, who report to us that
they were being well cared for and fed.
Since it is our understanding that the

soon will be moved to another home,
we do not make any recommendations
as to buildings or premises. We want
to commend Mr.. Dawson for the eX-
cellent care he is giving the inmates.

We visited the County Jail in body
and found same to be in sanitary
condition The inmates, whom we nm
derstand are there only temporarily,
report that they have plenty of heat
and food.
We find that the courthouse and
vaults are kept in a good condition and
the records neatly kept. We note that
the County Judge is adding more room
by building an addition to the vault
This is very much needed because OF
the accumulation of records for years
and we recommend that he finish this
addition as soon as funds are avail
able for that purpose.
We have before us a report Of the
Commissioners Of Accounts and find
that ]. A. White, ex-cOunty treasurer
