the Police Jury makes sufficient
allowances to that Office to defray
for the stationery aud necessary
blanks, pen, ink, etc, or that the
Police Jury pay for these mate
rails upon the approval of the
Clerk as to the corrections of bills
for the same.
After a careful examination of
the Clerks Office, we find that va
liable papers and documents are
kept in loose manner. This may
cause the loss of documents which
are of incalculable value and which
cannot be replaced. We recon-
mend that the Police Jury have
these papers bound in book form.
We have examined the Jail and
find that considering how old and
delapidated the building is, that
that jailer has done all that can be
done to keep it clean. We sug-
gest that the Police Jury establish
sanitary closets and water works
in the Jail; unless they shortly ex-
pect to build new Jail.
The Grand Jury is pleased to
notice the repairs made to the
Court room. We are of opinion
that the improvement is one which
will please all of the citizens of
the Parish. We hope that these
improvements will be continued;
and call attention to the cracked
wall between the police jury room
and the vault of the Clerks Office.
This wall is to protect the papers
from excessive heat, in case of fire,
and should be repaired.
The Grand Jury has not had
the opportunity to visit the schools
in different parts of the parish.
They did, however. visit the High
school. The organization of that
institution impressed very favora-
bly, the members of the Jury.
Everything seems to be working
nicely; and we desire to compli-
ment those to whom credit is due.
We have noticed that the High
School building is much too limit
ted for the large number of chill
dren In attendance.
The new system of working the
public roads of the parish is still
too recently inaugurated to ex-
press an opinion as to its effective
ness.
Very Respectfully submitted,

About Rheunatiinn.

There are few diseases that inflict more
torture than rheumatism and there is
probably no disease for which such va
ried and useless lot Of remedies have
been suggested. To say that 1t can %
cured is, therefore, q bold statement to
make. but Chamberlain's Pain Balm,
which enjoys an extensive sale. has met
with great success in the treatment Of
this disease. One application of Pain
Balm will relieve the pain. and hut
dreds Of sufferers have testified to perna.
Dent cures by its use. Why suffer when
Pain Balm affords such quick relief and
costs but trif1e? For sale by T. j. Liable.

We are pleased to say that at
this term of Court just closed, the
criminal docket was cleared with
the exception of the case of Elus
Leblanc accused OF numbering his
wife, whose attempted suicide by
cutting his throat prevented the
trial at this term. Leblanc is on
a fair way to recovery. and as soon
as he is we'll enough to stand trial,
o special jury will be drawn and
he will be given a speedy trial.
Judge Simon is of opinion that
every accused is entitled to imme-
dlate trial, and justice demand
speedy trial of accused, if iuno-
cent they should Immediately re-
gain their liberty, if guilty they
should at once be sentenced and
the parish saved the costs of keep
ing prisoners in Jail for months,
even years before they are brought
to trial. The manner Judge Simon
has conducted this term of Court
was to the satisfaction of every
one, and this business way of con.
Quoting the sessions of Court will
considerably reduce the criminal
expense of the parish.

SPRING cATARRH,
changeable Weather Causes Disease.
Breathe Hyomei and Cure Catarrh.

The changeable weather of Spring,
with its warm days and cold nights, is
responsible for a great increase in the
number of cases of catarrh., 1t is now
that Hyomei, the only guaranteedtreat-
ment for catarrh that cures without
stomach dosing, should be used in every
home.
For more than a century physicians
have been sending persons suffering
from catarrh to Egypt, Colorado, or
Australia, where the pure, healing air
would cure the disease. For one person
who could take this trip, thousands have
been compelled to stay at home and
continue their daily toll. To these suf-
ferers who could not change their eli
matte conditions, we offer Hyomei, a
method by which pure air impregnated
with Natures own remedies for the
cure of catarrh, can be inhaled by
every, sufferer in his or her home
Breathed through the neat pocket in
haler that comes with every outfit, its
reaches the lungs and air passages as
no stomach dosing possibly can do. 1t
gives immediate relief and makes last
ing cures.
The complete outfit, consisting of the
inhaler, medicine dropper, and bottle
of Hyomei, costs only one dollar, and
extra bottles of Hyomei, if needed, can
be procured for fifty cents.
Proof that the Hyomei treatment
will do all that is claimed for it is
found in the guarantee under which
The Laurens Drug Co. sell it, an agree
ment to pay back the price, if the pur-
chaser can say that Hyomei has not
given satisfaction.

ENTITLED TO A DIPLOMA.
Ahead of the World on Beating Time;
He Beats the Yankee Too.

a Every year agents of some kind come
through the country with something to
sell t the negroes books, medicine or
machines for making money and this
year two nicely dressed young fellows,
with fine horses and new buggies, came
through Statesburg selling watches,
nic~kel-plated and gold-plated, double
cased watches, costing from $40 to $40,
all on credit, secured by mortgages on
the household furniture and cooking
utensils of the purchaser, every old
skillet, fryingpan, saucepan, three
legged bench and bug-ridden bedstead
being put up to get a watch. One watch
that cost Sill stopped ticking in three
days after being bought and was pro-
nounced by a jeweller to be worth
about one dollar and a half, and he said
it would cost more than that to fix it.
One man was asked the time and he
took out his double-case gold watch,
opened it, emptied the insides out in
his hand, shook them awhile, looked at
them and said he reckoned it was about
/ o'clock.
The negroes are getting about as
sharp as the agents, however, and
they are generally treating the whole
thing as a huge joke. Many of them
gave wrong names, others signing the
names of men who have been dead for
years. One man, who mortgaged a
gun, was afterwards asked where he
got a gun from. He laughed and said:
81 amt buy it yet" 1t is said that
some of the negroes met the agents
several times at different places, and
each time gave a different name and
got another watch. The two agents,
who boasted to the negroes that they
were Yankees, and ever s. much sharp
er and smarter than the people of this
State, so the negroes say, drove up to
a crowd of negroes and proceeded to
sell their wares. The negroes bought
them and signed the usual mortgage,
giving wrong m
Before the crowd broke up one of
the negroes went off some distance and,
forgetting about the wrong names,
commenced to call aloud for Pom
pey! Oh! Pompey!"
Pompey, who was still sitting up in
the crowd, turned from a deep black to
an ashy hue and muttered in an un-
dertone: Listen at dat DIN fool! l
would't answer i'm to save his life"
To the great surprise of the two
smart Yankees the crowd burst out
laughing and w%hooping. These two
Yanks will have a time gathering in
their furniture and cook pots next fall.
