MIR. Wier Speaks in his Own Behalf
LJiitOy Press and Banner:

Mr.. Wier Speaks in his Own Behalf
Editor Press and Banner:
It is due not less to the people Of Abbo-
vile county by whom have been chosen
to fill the Office OF School Commissioner
than to myself, that l shonld set myself
right before them in relation to tho pre-
sentiment of the Grand Jury concerning
me, made to the present term OF the
court, and to he published by the Judges
order in the next issue Of your paper. 1
trust that q short statement may not be
Objectionable. Early in January l made
q call for persons desiring to teach in the
public school to come forward and be
examined.
The schools were ordered to be opened
on the first of March, and in tho mean
time applicants to teach came in, sonlc-
times one would come in Il day, some
times two or more; butno matter whether
they came or not, my office had to be kept
open to receive them, and Oh every prin-
ciplc Of law justice, and common sense,
the State is 90 much bound to pay me
for those days on which I was compelled
to keep my Office open, without anything
at all to do, rs for those Oh which I was
busily engaged the whole day.
But a great many Of the teachers did
not come in to bo examined until after
the time for the opening of the schools,
and whenever they did come in, they had
to bc attended to.
And so it is rs to the other business of
my office. Whether I am actually busily
engaged or not, my office has to be kept
open whenever there is any business to
be done.
How can I be expected to visit the
schools under the old law, when the new
law fixing my salary has put it out of my
power. Under the old law l would have
to visit each Of the schools in my juris-
diction at least three times q term, to do
this would occupy my whole time and
would ncccssitatc the hiring of a horse
and buggy at an expense Of three
dollars per day. The new law evidently
does not intend to make such require
mcnt, for it does not allow the School
Commissioner pay for more than a hun
dred days. 1 may add that such was not
the custom under the old law. My pred
c~cessor, Mr.. DuPre who was certainly q
| faithful and efficient officer, did not carry
it out strictly and yet thcre was no COM
plant, nor aught there to have been any.
Only two of the Grand Jurors came into
my office and l presume their present
lnent is based upon the few words that
passed between us then. l may say here
that some complaint has been made be-
cause teachers have not been paid.
This is owing to the fact that there has
been no money in the treasury, with
which TO- pay their claims until last Satur-
day, subsequent to the ~presentmcnt Of
the Grand Jury, and I may state that l
am ready now to approve claims for
March and April, which will consume the
funds in the hands OF the Treasurer, their
pro rata share.
Will the people of Abbeville believe
that I have been "grossly derelcct in
duty when the only evidence Of it is
what have stated above? In justice and
fairness, thoy cannot.
Yours respectfully, .
JOHN A. WEIR,
School Commissioner.

AS We arc just approaching a time when
chills, fever and a good many of the ills
that flesh is heir to are prevalent, it be-
hooves all to look well to their premises
and see that there are no favorable condi-
ton for engendcring disease about their
homes.
Judging from the large amount of
lightning rods shipped to this point, the
festive agent finds a great many sus-
ceptible people in our community upon
punity, thereby realizing good, handsome
profits.

~A
are still the most thorough and search
ing cathartic medicine that car DC
employed: cleansing the stomach and
bowels, and even the blood. In small
doses Of one pill a day, they stimulate
the digestive organs and promote Wig
orous health.
AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than q quarter of q century, and
have obtained q worldwide reputation
for their virtues. They correct dis
cased action in the several assimila-
tive organs Of the body, and are so
composed that instructions within,
their range Gun rarely Withstand or
cvade them. Not only do they cure
the everyday complaints Of every
body, but also formidable and danger
Gus diseases that have bafled the best
Of human skill. While they produce
powerful effects, they are, at the same
time, the safest and best physic for
children. BY their aperient action
they grippe much less than the common
purgatives, and never give pain when
the bowels are not infiamcd. They
reach the vital fountains Of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing
It from the elements Of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions
in all climates, containing neither
calomel nor any %deleterious drug,
these Pills may be taken with safety
by anybody. Their sugar-coating pre-
serves them ever fresh and makes
them pleasant to take; while being
purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.
