We rscuauumd that cuunty delegates he regucotsd to pass such laws as will better enforce the law regard: ng the carrying ef can- j ■alrd weapons and selling illicit whis key. We think that a chain gang sen- | tenet* should follow a conviction for cither offense. Seventh. We suggest and recoin- mend that the County Commissioners do approve claims for the offices of Supervisor and Sheriff for automo bile and gasoline expenses only* for gasoline and oil used by these of ficers in the actual discharge of their duties. That is to say, that the Supervisor, of course, be allowed gas oline for the operation of the county trucks and for his own automobile while actually engaged in visiting the chain gang, carrying prisoners to and fro and in otherwise attending to the county affairs. This also applies to the Sheriff’s office, which under past recommendations is allowed free gas oline arid oil for official business. We don’t think that repairs upon automo biles should properly be allowed by the County Commissioners. We make these recommendations to continue for the balance of this year, and then sug gest that these expense accounts for various officers be discontinued. From our observation we find that the affaira of the county are in good shape and -we commend all present county officials for the faithful ser vice that they are giving the county.

On May 23rd a suspicious looking negro was seen at the trtash dump near Turkey Creek and when approached by officers ran for the swamp. He was followed, arrested and lodged in the county jail. Although pleading innocence, he was held and an inves tigation conducted by Sheriff Sanders resulting in Sheriff Hicks coming from Bartow County, Georgia, and identifying the negro as one John Cannon, an escaped convict from the Cobb County, Georgia, chain gang. He made his escape in 1917 and has been at large since that time. He was sentenced to 18 months for for gery and took feg bail after serving 11 months.
