FARMERS WANT
POSTAL SAVINGS

ATLANTIC CITY, Dec. 9.-(Spe-
ciaD-Two hundred New Jersey gran
gers in annual convention here went
upon record with a declaration that
postal savings banks under Federal
supervision and commanding public
confidence would have averted the re-
cent fiscal disturbance.
A committee directed to pass upon
State Master Gauntt's recommends
ton of Endorsement for the projected
extension of the postal service to
include governmental care of small
savings accounts took filing at high
finance when it declared unequivocal-
ly that the American farmer will new
er place his wealth completely in
the power of Wall Street interests.
Give us such a savings system as
that proposed" says the report, and
the farmers of New Jersey and the
whole country will no longer hoard
their hard-earned money in secret
corners"
Another committee recommended
the immediate installation of the par
cells post as a means of placing the
large stores of the cities at the dis
posal of country people and thereby
Frightening the lives of people of
rural communities.

Courthouse and Public Buildings

The Committee on public build
ings and poor farm report as fol-
lows: They find on the poor farm at
present three inmates. One white fe-
male, who is receiving only fair at
tention, and one colored male and
one female that seem to be very much
neglected.
The entire property is rapidly go
ing to destruction merely for the want
of proper attention, and we desire
to call the county commissioners i'm
mediate attention to the entire farm
and buildings, and especially to the
unfortunate inmates who are so
much neglected. We also recommend
the sale of the farm as early as pos
sible and the applying of the pro
ceeds to the erection of a suitable
sanitarium or hospital for the I'M
fortunate poor of Sumter county, to
be located in or near the city OF
Americas.
We find the Jail reasonably well
kept and in good order and safe CON
dition: also the stockade and quar-
ters for the convicts in good order,
everything in its proper place and
we'll cared for.
We fully realize that our District
Agricultural College is the property
of the State, yet we deem it proper,
this being the first session OF the
court since the completion OF the
splendid school buildings, to call the
attention of our citizens to the noble
efforts Of our Honorable Board OF
County Commissioners and the City
Council of Americus through whose
efforts it was made possible to To-
cate the same in our county. We
feel that their action, while it has
made the burden of taxation little
heavy at the present, they have erec-
ted to themselves a monument that
will stand long after they have pass
ed away, and that generations yet
to come will pronounce upon them
the deserved plaudits of well done,
good and faithful servants"
We find the courthouse in good
condition. except a portion of the
roof on the clock tower which is
needing repairs, and some needed re-
pairs to the windows in the Judge S
office. and we recommend that same
be attended to at once.
We think some more adequate pro-
vision should be made in the county
Jail for the comfort of those con-
fined there. During the very cold
weather of the last few days since
court has been in session we learn
that prisoners have at times suffered
from the severity of the weather, and

AS SUCCESSFUL EAST
AS IN THE WEST
Cooper's Theories Are Being Rapidly Accepted
by Eastern People.

l.. T. Cooper, whose theory that
the human stomach is the cause of
most i'll health and who created a
furore in Chicago, St Louis and other
western cities, is meeting with the
same remarkable success with his
medicine throughout the east Cooper
has convinced an immense number of
people that his theory is sound and
his medicine will do what he claims
Perhaps the most interesting fea-
lures of the discussion this young
man is causing, are the statements
made by responsible people who have
taken his medicine and have become
enthusiastic converts to his beliefs.
Among statements of this charac-
ter the following, by Mr. August
Wilmer, 1049 Rockwell Court, Chi
cago, is characteristic of the wide
spread faith in Cooper, which has
grown up in comparatively short
time. Mr.. Wittimer says: Il would
not take $1,000 and be in the condi-
ton I was three weeks ago l was
practically an invalid for fourteen
years and think l had about all of
the diseases known. My stomach was
weak, and at times I would have an

After careful inquiry through our
committees into the public road sys-
tenn and Its management we are
pleased to report that we can hearth
ly commend our present system of
operation, and that our roads general
ly are in good condition. There are
complaints from two localities in the
18th District, and from information
received We do not doubt that some
work is needed on the road leading
from the vicinity of the i. A. Thomas
place in the direction Of the Wis
ham place, and from the vicinity of
the Clark place to the Smithville
Cross Roads, and we suggest that
these particular sections of our roads
be repaired as soon as practicable.
The road system is colossal in it's
proportions, and we believe that our
efficient commissioners, and those
working in connection with them, de-
serve great credit for the faithful and
efficient service they have given and
are now giving us in their able
management of our road working
system
We recommend a continuance of our
present system and suggest that the
larger portion of our road working
force be used as long as necessary
to put in first-class condition all roads
leading to Americas for a distance
of five miles from the city. In this
way, every citizen and the public gen
orally vii participate in the enjoyment
and in the benefit to be derived from
this ten mile radius of good roads.
We find that we have in the way
of road working equipment, forty
three good mules, and a sufficiency
of wagons, harness, and road-WOrk-
ing Instruments to successfully oper-
ate the present system We have
forty-nine male convicts and two
female convicts, and these seem to
be ably managed and
properly cared for.
We recommend that the larger por-
ton of such labor as We may have be
known as section number /, and work
on the roads for five miles around
Americus, as above suggested, and
that section number be known as
the flying squadron, to be used in
keeping the roads in repair in the
different sections of the county, as
from time to time may be needed.
We believe that the use of broad
tired wagons is less destructive tC
our roads than the narrow tires, ant
we suggest their use to the citizens
of the county.
The bridges, so far as we are able
to learn are in very excellent condi-
ton.

Bcokplate Ruskin Had Made.

The death of Mr.. Ruskin's publisher
reminds me that among the many
Ruskin drawings, engravings and
other relics which Mr.. Allen possessed
was a proof of a bookplate engraved
at MI. Ruskin's express desire.
The fact that the distinguished au-
thor and art critic owned a bookplate
IS, l believe, unknown to collectors of
ex-llbris, and only because Mr.. Ruskin.
after having the plate engraved and a
few proof impressions taken, altered
his mind and never used it. There is
no copy of the plate in the national
collection in the print room OF the
British museum The engraving was
done by w. Roffe, an old engrayer in
stipple, employed by Mr.. Ruskin to
engrave Ida in the STORY of Ida" and
other small plates from drawings by
Miss Kate Greenaway.
