Sampson County had 80 Justices
of the Peace before the meeting of
the last Legislature, of this number
"a are Republicans, elected by the
people, and the balance 48 are DEM
ocrats, a few of whom were elected
by the people, but the great majority
of them were appointed by the Leg
is!atures of 1901 and 1903. This
number gives each township an av-
erage of over magistrates which is
an abundance to transact all the bus.
mess, and is more than is necessary,
and especially since all these magis-
trates are to be furnished at the ex-
pense of the State, all the acts of
the Legislature, two volumes of the
New Code and Civil and Criminal
Court Docket.
The last Legislature was not salts
fed with all of these magistrates for
our County. which is more than we
had any earthly use for. but appoin-
ted 4S more Democratic magistrates
for Sampson County, making 90
Democratic magistrates, and these
together with the "a Republican
majority elected by the people, gave
one county $50 Justices Of the
Peace. This was the work of our
Democratic Senator and not that of
our Republican representative. who
We are glad to say opposed this large
and useless increase in the number
of our magistrates.
The Clerk of the Court informs
us that none Of these new appoin-
tees qualified within the time pro-
vided by law and so they will be
deprived of the honor of wearing
the judicial ermine.
If all this army of magistrates
had qualified, our townships would
have had more road supervisors
than road hands.

Obituary.

On Tuesday morning May 23rd,
1905, the death angel entered the
home of Mr.. J. X. lew and bore
the immortal soul of Berta, his be.
loved wife, to a world of brightness
beyond.
Deceased was only eighteen years
Of age, but two years ago she step
ped out on the Lords side and took
a stand for Jesus, placed her feet on
a "firm foundation" and has been
true to her VOWS ever since.
Funeral services were conducted
by the Rev. G. M. Rock and the re
mains were laid to rest in the ia M
lily burying ground.
It seems so bitter to see one go
just in the prime Of life, but W.
know that God doeth all thing;
well and we will only say s.Thy
will be DONE"
He had a more beautiful service
for Berta to be engaged in.
It grieFes us greatly to give hel
lup but 'sSometime We'll under.

1t will doubtless be gratifying to
the officials Of Samgson County and
to her people as well, to know what
our neighbors think Of us aud how
they regard the management of
Sampson County's financial affairs
by her public official.
We clip below from a recent issue
of Bro. o. J. Peterson's paper, the
Lumberton Argus, some comments
rejecting great credit upon this
County and IL is with pleasure that
we give ii below to our readers:
at is Interesting to take the au-
ditor's report and note the amount
Of money used by the various coun-
ties. The question naturally arises,
how can some counties get along
with so little, or what does Robson
do with all it gets? For instance.
Sampson, which is the next largest
county in the State, has less than
half a. much funds as Robson.
Moreover, by the recent statement
Of the condition Of finances of that
county, it is seen that the county is
in most excellent condition, hav-
ing built a Jail, a courthouse and re-
stored the score of bridges washed
away few years ago-Ssmpson has
twice as many bridges as Robson
has, the three prongs of Black river
extending lengthwise through it for
thirty miles, and the Black itself
for thirty miles more; yet the coun-
ty is in as good shape as this, though
we have built no court house and
have $4,000 to SIMPSONS Sl1, 200.
and have only half as many people
more than Sampson. Only the
larger negro and Indian population
here can account for the difference
unless it is to be accounted for by
great extravaganza here. Is it?"

tack the vital organs, causing catarrn OF
the bladder, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement of the kidneys and
a cure is obtained quickest by proper
treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel
ing badly you can make no mistake by
taking DR.. Kilrner's Swamp=Root, the
great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
1t corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to go often through the day,
and to get up many times during the
night. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root' is soon realized:
1t stands the highest for its wonderful
cures Of the most distressing cases.
Swamp Root is pleasant to take and IS
sold by all druggists in ffty-cent and
one-do11ar size bottles. You may have a
sample bottle of this wonderful new dis
covery and book that tells all about it.,

offer in this paper. Don't make any
mistake, but remember the name, Swamp
Root, DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root, and the

bottle.

Georgia paid taxes for 1902 on III
5,29I acres of land, and upon al

The report of the committee on the
public schools was heard at the meet.
ing at the rooms of the Commercial
Club on Saturday night. The sub
stance of the report was that the
committee was able to raise about
two thousand dollars. That a larger
sum was not raised was due to the
dissatisfaction and lukewarmness of
the citizens generally. The committee
further reported thai some three hun
dred of the letters had not been an.
swered.
Various opinions were expressed
by those present. the general opin-
ion being hat the schools should be
continued. The result of the meeting
was that the committee was instruc-
ted to continue the effort TO enlist
the citizens generally in this work
and to use a larger committee.
MI. Nathan Jaffa, speaking for the
members of the committee. said that
they would do their best.
