important Grand Jury FIndIuq.

The grand jury in session this weel
submitted the following to the court
To the Hon. Lyman Chalkley, Judge
of the County Court of Augusta
County:
The grand jurors of the county OF
Augusta now attending this court de-
sire to report to your Honor that they
have as carefully as possible, with the
evidence before them, examined into
the road affairs of the county as at
present administered In the various
districts. and we condemn the present
road system of Augusta county.
We find that none of the Commits
si0ners of Roads have made any settle
ments with the Board of Supervisors
as required by. the road law from the
time said law went into effect, March
18th, until July of this year. We,
therefore. recommend that the said
commissioners of roads be required to
settle their accounts embraced in that
period Immediately.
We have examined the various sys-
TENS of warrants used in the different
districts. and recommend that the
form now in use in Beverly Manor and
Middle River districts be used in all
the districts of the county, and that
the road boards of the several districts
be required to supply themselves with
these warrants Immediately.
In our opinion the number of road
overseers or surveyors employed in the
several districts is far larger than the
work demands, and we recommend
that the number be reduced in each
district. save North River and Middle |
River, where the number shall not ex-
coed 10, who shall devote all or the |
greater portion of their time to the
work.
We further recommend that the
County Treasurer be directed to pay ]
no road warrants hereafter unless they |
are first approved by the Commission.
er of Roads and Supervisor of the
district for which they are drawn, and
sworn to by the person in whose favor
they are drawn.
We also recommend that the men,
oers of the road board of each district
De required to fully itemize all war
ants issued by them in future for
ums payable out of the road fund of
heir respective districts.
We also recommend that a certified
opy of this report be sent to the road
cards of the several districts and also
o the Treasurer of the county, 80 that
hey may, as far as practicable, govern /,
themselves in accordance with the ,
recommendations herein expressed.

In addition to the foregoing recon-
mendations we also recommend that
every person to whom money is paya-
able out of the road fund of the coun-
ty shall have issued to him a warrant
for said sum based upon bis affidavit
OF the correctness OF his claim, which
affidavit shall be approved by the Road
Overseer and the Supervisor of his
district.

To Hon. Lyman Chalkley, Judge of
the County Court of Augusta Coun-
ty:
1t having been brought to the at
tentlon Of the grand jurors that the
law requiring owners of traction en-
gines in their removal of said engines
from point to point to send man one
hundred yards ahead of she engine to
notify persons of it's approach under
a penalty Of One Hundred Dollars, is
being constantly violated in the cOunS
ty of Augusta. We recommend that the
owners of said engines be notified that
any future violation of this law will
be Immediately followed by the punish
ment provided under said law.
We have found it necessary to en-
ploy commissioner of accounts to
make a report on the condition of the
accounts of the several road boards of
the county, and we recommend that
the court allow reasonable fee to the
said commissioner for his services in
that behalf.

Gentlemen - had Acute rheumatism,
which I contracted in Southeast Georgia
on z. c. z p. z. r. in the swamrs, and
was completely helpless for about four
months, during which time spent ovor
$4,000 with doctors and got worse every
day. I quit them and took five bottles OF
S. S. g, which cured me sound and well,
and today I weigh IT'S pounds and am in
fine health. There is also lady near my
place taking s. 8. s. for Acute Rheuma-
tism. she could not even turn herself in
bed for two months. She commenced TAX
ing s. s. s. three weeks ago under my in
structioDs, and can now sit up in bed. I
can truly recommend this great medicine
to any one suffering from Chronic Blood
Disorders or Acute rheumatism.

was terribly afflicted with Rheuma-
tism for eighteen months, and during my
sickness tried the skill of many good
physicians, all of whom pronounced my
case hopeless. I was for q year IN such a
helpless condition that was unable to
dress or feed myself. I had filed at diff
ferent times, hfty-two prescriptions sug-
gssted by friends, none Of them giving
me any relief. finally decided to include
8. s. s. in my list and took the first dose
when hobblng about on crutches. After
taking two bottles found 50 much relief
I was able to rehnquish the use of one
crutch, and faithful continuance Of the
medicine relieved me Of the other crutch
snd shortly afterwRrd enabled me to 60 to
my work, at which have been ever since.
This was five years ago, and I have had
no return Of the symptoms Of rheumatism.
