REFORMS FOR
RICHMOND COUNTY.
Urged by Grand Jury After Long In
vestigation.

Urged by Grand Jury After Long In
vestigation.
Augusta, May 21.-The longest sitting
grand jury in Richmond county made
it's report yesterday. 1t was a report
upon the recent campaign charges
against Judge w. r. Ewes admins
tration. In some respects the work is
commended, but censure is bestowed in
others. The method of bookkeeping in
and treasurer's Office is called crude,
and a change TO modern methods is
recommended.
The cement gravel, much used in Sa-
vannah and locally, figured largely in
the report. The charge had been made
that Judge Eve, as commissioner OF
roads and revenues, was purchasing
gravel from himself, he being stock
holder in the furnishing company. The
fury urged that all supplies for county
use should be bought only through bids,
which should be opened publicly at a
stated time and place and should
thereafter, with the contracts, be kept
on file in the treasurer's office.
The value Of the county farm as a
corrective institution was questioned,
and the jury recommended that the
former be located on property bought
for the purpose and not on rented
ground as at present.
One of the most radical recommended
tions concerned the Offices of county
police and coroner's physician. The
Jury recommended that these offices be
abolished, because of the depleted con-
dition of the treasury; The duties OF
the physician win fall on the county
physician and the bailinrs Of the Su-
perior and City Courts will do the
work assigned to the county police,
hiring assistants when in the opinion
of the Judge it is necessary.

effect before Dec. 20, prior to the year
in which the tax was to be paid.
There was strong opposition to the
measure from the first. 1t was gen.
orally considered as an attempt to dis
franchise a lot of white men who car
ed for the right of franchise only for
what the vote would bring on election
day. The pros claimed that this class
did not care enough about voting to
pay 81 in advance of the election, and
thus the purchasable element would
be eliminated. The others thought II
was merely a play to keep the poor
man out of the race for offices Con-
seouently, there were 473 persons who
gave their preference to working
day on the streets to paying the tax.

y EFoRE DR.. Hartman began the
n study of medicine he was
farmer boy.
The Doctor was brought up on a
farm in Southern Pennsylvania.
He belonged to that industrial, sue
cessful class of farmers known as the
Pennsylvania Dutch, the best farmers
in the world.
1t was here that he early learned
the lesson of pulling obnoxious things
out by the roots.
DIR. Hartman's Method of Treating
Catarrh.
Naturally, when he began the study
of medicine his mind turned instinct
lively toward the removing of causes.
He could not content himself with
doctoring symptoms any more than
his enterpristng father could have
contented himself by pulling off the
tops Of weeds to eradicate them from
the soil.
The Doctor turned his attention
early to the science of removing the
cause of diseases, believing that OBJ
| noxious symptoms would disappear
If the cause of the disease was re-
moved.
In other words, DIR. Hartman APP
piled the common sense OF the prac-
teal farmer to medicine, and after
much experimentation Feruna was
compounded.
The sensible farmer does not think
of cutting off the tops of weeds to
kill them. He pulls them up by the
roots.
Pe-ru-na Eradicates Catarrh.
Peruna graduates catarrh from the
system in the same way that the prac-
teal farmer eradicates weeds from his
fiel1s.
DR.. Hartman, the originator of Pc
runa. has used this remedy for the

last forty years with great success as
a specific for catarrh.
The people generally are very much
misinformed as to the nature of ca
tarrh.
Catarrh is usually believed TO be
confined to the head, nose and throat.
Latterly we sometimes hear of catarrh
of the stomach and catarrh of the
bladder. Seldom, if ever, do we hear
of catarrh of any other organs.
1t is not because these organs are
not subject to catarrh nor that ca
tarrh of these organs is not a very
common disease, but simply because
it is not generally known that affect
ions of these organs may be due to
catarrh.
Every organ of the body every pas
sage, every duct, every cavity, is lined
with mucous membrane. Wherever
there is a mucous membrane, catarrh
may exist
Catarrh May Attack Any Organ of
the Body.
Catarrh is Inflammation of the mu-
cous membrane. 1t may be in the
mucous membrane lining the eyes or
the pelvic organs. the throat stom-
ach, liver, bowels or kidneys.
Catarrh is catarrh, wherever To-
Gated.
Peruna cures catarrh wherever To-
Gated.
Peruna is an internal remedy not a
local application.
Catarrh is a systemic disease, not a
local disease.
Pe-ru-na Is an Internal, Systemic
Remedy.
If Peruna will cure catarrh in one
place, 1t will cure it in any other
place, because Peruna is a systemic
remedy.
