and especially in cases under the
dispensary law. Witnesses and con-
stables fees are becoming burden
somo to the county.
Under the contract system of
working the public roads, which has
been adopted by the present Board
Of County Commissioners, we find
that some Of the contractors have
their roads in fine condition. Others
have done almost nothing at all to
them. In School Districts Nos. 8,
lG, SO, 80, ~, 4G, 4S, SO, 60, 81 and
G2 the roads are in bad condition,
and wo urge the County Supervisor
to have them put in good condition
forthwith.
n great many complaints in writ
ing have been secretly handed in to
us without the names of witnesses to
sustain the same, the charges being
usually Of cases in which individuals,
rather than the general public, arc
interested.
We desire in this prcscntment to
give public notice that we do not
think it wise to present such cases.
The law provides n way for every
man who has grievance against his
ncighhor, and is willing to face the
responsibility of making affidavit to
the facts, to get his warrant and
have him tried.
We present one Charles Lay for
assault and battery with intent to
kill upon George Ridley in the early
part of the present year, and give
the names of David Nichols, G. Nj.
Ridley, .Jr., Patrick McAlister and
Ben Alexander to prove the same.
Upon further consideration we
desire to suggest to the County
Board of Commissioners the propri-
city Of requiring the steward of the
poor house to report at some proper
time during each year the amount Of
all crops of all kinds made on the
poor farm, and of all the live stock
and other property of value in his
charge during the year, and his dis
position Of the same.
Thanking your Honor and the
Solicitor for valuable suggestions and
assistance,
Respectfully submitted,
j. n. RUTHERFoRD,

Deafness Cannot be Cured

There is only one way to euro deafness.

Deafness is caused by an innamcd con-

you have rnmblng sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the

hearing will be destroyed forever Nine
eases ont of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an intiamed condi-

opinion we should nominate a man

be possible that should not, per-

Our Costly Government.

Tho total expenses of our Government
for tho fiscal year ending July | have
been something over OO,000000. OF
this vast sum about $230,0OO 900 havc
gone to tho cost vi iilc war in CUBA ami
the Philippines, leaving $37O, ,O00,O 900 for
ordinary purposes. Tho income of tho
Government from all sources has been
$500,000,0 900. The deficit, therefore. in
spite of tho war taxes, is at least $780,
100000. 1t is said by tho Now York
"Tribune' that tho Dingloy Tariff has
yielded 3S0,O0O,O00. Before accepting
those last figures as truo, wo shall want
some fuller information. That we arc
carrying enormous burdens is unques-
tionably true, especially when, State,
county, and municipal taxation is added
to tho sums demanded by tho National
Government. AS long as times continue
flush, there may be no serious complaint;
but tho return of a financial stringoncy is
suro to bring loud outcry.

Things to Remember.

A lady, an elder person, or an in
valid, is entitled to the most COM
Portable scat and position in the
room.
To rise to leave in the midst of an
interesting conversation gives just
offence.
When calling, it is not respectful
to the lady of the house for one to
offer to another the seat assigned by
her.
1t is etiquette, in entering room
filled with people, to bow slightly to
the company in general before adj
dressing individuals.
Splitting is vulgar and disgusting.
1t is offensive to enter company
with strongly scented food, drink or
narcotics.
Civility to women is always and
at ali places imperative.
Eccentricity should DO avoided.

BIRMlNGHAM, Ala, July 13.-The
first act of violence in the history of
the ore mine strike of the Robinson
Mining Company, at Ishkooda, which
has been in progress for three weeks,
occurred between Oxmoor and Ish-
kooda last night.
Gus Miller, negro mule boy work
ing for the company, is seriously
wounded in the face md body with
birdshot, and may die.
George Henry and George Brown,
both negro miners working for the
company, are wounded with shot,
which did not penetrate far, and
they will recover.
For the past few days the officials
of the company have been importing
negro labor from Georgia, and this

A RODBER SHOT 70. DEATH.
THE DEAD MAg AND PAL WERE HIDING
IN A SWAMP-THE LATTER WOUNDED.
THE WOUNDED IAN CONFESSES.
When the Sheriff and Possa Called up
the Robbers to Surrender They Refused.

LEEsBGRG, Ga, July 14.-Sheriff
Il. B. Martin and posse ran down
and killed one and captured the
other of the two tramp highwaymen
who robbed the store of Representa-
tive Singlotary, at Lacrosse, Schley
county, Tuesday night, near Lees.
burg last night. The men were sur
rounded in swamp and ordered to
give up, but they refused and the
posse then opened fire on the high
waymen, with the result that one
fell dead and the other dropped dan
gerously wounded.
The wounded man is Harry Burke,
of Houston, Texas, and the dead
man was Frank Arsenell, of Ala
bara.
Both of the men were heavily
armed and they swore they would
never surrender alive. Burke was
about to kill w. E. Smith, member
of the posse, when Sheriff Martin
brought him down by a timely shot.
Burke admitted last night that
they were the men who robbed the
Singletary store and who fought a
desperate duel with the proprietor
and shot him three times, danger
ously wounding him. Twenty-seven
dollars in small change was found on
the men.
BURKE TALKS FREELY.
Burke is resting easily this morn
ing and is likely to recover. He
talka frankly and seems penitent.
He is from Houston, Texas, and is
about twenty years old. He is of
Irish parentage and says he has good
parents, who tried to raise him we'll ;
that he left home eleven months ago,
and that he only met Arsenell few
weeks ago.
He says Arsencll is from Alabama ;
don't know what place, but that
Arsenell claimed to have an aunt,
Mrs. Will Skinner, the wife of a
drayman, who lives at the corner of
Fourth and Ocmulgee streets, in
Macon, Ga.
Parties who saw them at different
times say Arsenell "as always the
leader and very bold in 1t. lie was
evidently an old hand at the bust,
ness. Arsencll was in the act oil
shooting at one of the posse wher
shot by the sheriff, and Burke had
his pistol pointing at the sheriff
though he was running partly side,
ways.
