CITY COURT JURORS.

A Statute Discovered Which Makes Their
Per Diem Two Dollars.
A Brunswick attorney has disc0v
cred law which, If those interested
were disposed to prosecute, would cost
the county considerable amount of
money.
The law affects the pay of jurors n
city court, which, under the law in
cooperating that court, is fixed at 81
per day, or One-half that of superior
court jurors.
This, according to the attorneys
discovery, is in violation of a general
act, passed by the legislature of 1890
1891, which is entitled: can act to al
low jurors in city court In this state
the same compensation as is allowed
jurors In the superior courts"
The statute is very plain on the sub
ject, saying "and the same compensa-
ton shall be allowed to the Jurors of
the several city courts in this state as
is allowed to the jurors of the supe-
rior courts of the county in which
such city court may be located"
AS the act Incorporating the city
court of GIynn county was passed
subsequent to the above recited act, it
comes under the constitutional pro-
vision that no special law can conflict
with general law, and this provision
fixing 81 per day as the pay of jurors
in city court is therefore unconstitu-
tional.
The error will doubtless be corrected
at the next session of the legislature,
otherwise, jurors who are paid only 81
per day could give the county con.
siderable trouble by claiming the le-
gal balance of their remuneration.

We refer TO the common use of soda

DIR. Hsrlsndson recommends as the
safest and sprest cure for sour stom-

name of Stusrt's Dyspepsia Tablets.
These tablets are large 20 grain loz-
enges, very pleasant to taste and con-
tain the natural acids, peptOnes and
digestive elements essential to good
digestion, and when taken after meals
they digest the food perfectly and
promptly before it has time to fer
ment, sour and poison the blood and
nervous system,
DR.. Wuerth states that he invariably
uses Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all
cases of stomach arrangements and
finds them certain cure not only for
stomach, but by promptly digesting
the food they create healthy appe-
title, increase flesh and strengthen the
action of the heart and liver. They
are not cathartic, but intended only
for stomach diseases and weaknesses
and will be found reliable In any
stomach trouble except cancer of the
stomach.

STA Tablets at 80 cents per package.
