BEAR SIR:-As citizen and tax
payer I wish through the columns of
yerr paper to ask the Board of County
Commissioners and the Treasurer of
this county the reason for hiring a
deputy for Walter Laidlaw at the
expense Of this county? Mr.. Laidlaw
receives a salary Of 81 200 per year to
perferfa the duties of County Treasurer
Instead Of performing those duties
himselfaae hires Chas. Mcmillan to
represent him, as he, Laidlaw is
cashier Of the Citizens State bank.
Now / want the County Commissioners
or Laidlaw to state to the citizens and
taxpayers of this county why we
should pay Mcmillan for dong Laid
laws work. Everyone knows that
there is not work for two men in the
Office as the County A uditor has almost
all the work to do. We want an ex-
PLANTATION and also demand that this
bare faced steal lie not allowed, and
further we will see that our demand
are carried out. This is without doubt
the most high handed attempt ever
made in q county and we warn Mr..
Laiplaw there will be trouble connected
with it, for the people are not fools.

Perhaps some of our readers would
like to now in what respect Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is better than any
other. We will tell you. When this
remedy is taken as soon as cold has
been contracted, and before it has
become settled in the system, it will
counterfeit the effect of the cold and
greatly lessen it's severity, if not
effectually cure the cold in two days
time, and it is the only remedy that
will do this. Itacts in perfect harmony
with nature and aids nature in reliev-
ing the lungs, opening the secretions,
liquifying the mucns and causing it's
expulsion from the air cells of the
lungs and restoring the system to a
strong and health condition. No
other remedy in the market possesses
these remarkable properties. No other
will cure a cold so quickly or leave the
system in as sound a condition. Fol

Boston Herald
The United States consul at Batoum. on
tho Black sea. has made an interesting re-
port on the development of the petroleum
oil trade at Baku, on the Caspian sea.
From this lt appears that the average pro-
Gnction of petroleum at that place Is con-

yield of crude oil in 1876 was 5S.eG0 barrels.
In 1Sg2 IL was 1000 barrels. and hut for
the cholera, which caused at least 20, 600
people ont of n population OF 10000 to
leave Baku in the summer of last year. the
production of crude oil would have been
very much larger. as IL ran up 10 $4,000
barrels per day In the month or MAY

The EFFORT ON the part OF the latter Is to
