What To Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulf1ls every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
1t corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
is soon realized. It stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need medicine
you should have the best. Sold by drug
gists in fifty-cent and one-dollar sizes.
You may have a sample bottle and
book that tells all Elf

Ordinary

The books and records OF Capt.
John A Cobb, our efficient Ordinary,
are kept in thorough, simple and
systematic way. He is an ideal Off
Ger and a most worthy gentleman.
We found everything about his of
fic in such shape as to justify us in
expressing our most hearty appre-
citation of his competency.
We find that since the State prohi-
bition law went into effect there
have been 67 alcoholic prescriptions
registered on his books. We also find
that all the special State tax payers
have registered and have paid their
taxes in accordance with the law.
We find on the pension list for
1908, so INDECENT soldiers; disabled
soldiers; II widows of deceased sol
diers; 16 INDECENT widows of SOL
diers, making a total of 121; an
increase of over last year
AS far as we are able to find out,
they are entitled to pensions; and
while we are glad to have these old
soldiers who fought a good fight for
us in the years gone by, to partake of
our bounty, and we are glad to assist
the widows of our deceased soldiers
who stood fearlessIy by our men in
grey in the days that tried mems
souls, yet we trust that we will be
pardoned for expressing the hope
that our pension list will grow small
er instead of larger as the number
of years since the conflict increase.
Justice of the Peace
We examined carefully all the books
of the Justices of the Peace and
Notaries Public submitted for our
examination, and found them kept in
a legal and business-like manner, with
two exceptions: Mr.. G. P. Suber, 745

Court House. Jail, Convict Camp and
= Poor Farm.

We find the court house in good
condition, except a leak in the Treas
urer's office and broken window cords
up stairs. We suggest that these be
looked after Immediately.
We find the Jail in good condition,
but suggest that the plumbing be
examined and kept in a thoroughly
sanitary condition.
We find the convict camp in fairly
good condition, but suggest, for sani-
tary reasons, that the quarters be
looked after more closely.
We find the poor farm in fair con-
dition and leased to Mr.. F. w. Griffin
at fair rental; the only two inmates
there are we'll cared for.
We respectfully recommend to our
Commissioners of Roads and Reeve
nues that they sell as soon as practi-
cable our present pauper farm and
also the old county jail property,
which is at present used as a stock
ade by the County, and that the funds
arising from these sales be utilized,
with whatever additional funds may
be necessary, to purchase a suitable
County farm near Americas, which
shall be made the Headquarters and
stOckade of our County road forces
We believe by iudicious management
of small farm much expense could
be saved the County by raising upon
it such food stuffs as would help in
the keeping of our County convicts.
Roads and Revenues
The Grand Jury submits the fol-
lowing report and recommendations
on the subject of roads and revenues.
This is a question of such impOr-
lance and magnitude that this body
cannot, in justice to itself, or the
County report intelligently without
having a great deal of time, more
than they have at their command, and
consequently at large additional ex-
pense to the County
We, therefore, have selected the
following committee: K M. McDon-
aid, Sumter. Ga; ]. L. Johnson, Hun
tingtOn, Ga; Dr. T. NJ Merritt, Am
CIRCUS, whom we designate as a COM
mittee of investigation, and whom we
suggest be duly authorized to make a
full, complete and detailed eXamina-
ton into all the books, records, &C
counts, management, methods and
plans of the County Commissioners
of Roads and Revenues. A full re-
port of the County Commissioners of
Of Roads and Revenues. A full report
of the localities in which they have
done work, and of what they have
done. 1t shall also be the duty
of this committee to inspect all roads,
bridges and other property of this
County, and to make such recOmmen-
dations as in their judgment seems
to the best interest of the County to-
gether with their report to the next
grand jury.
We recommend that a copy of this
report to be filed with the Clerk of
the Superior Court, and copy be
furnished the County Commissioners
of Roads and Revenues.
We also recommend in this cOnnec-
ton, that there be provided de-
tached squadron of such number as
our Commissioners deem necessary,
of our woodworking force, whose
duty it shall be to do all temporary
repairs on the roads wherever and
whenever such repairs are necessary.
We recommend that this committee
be paid the sum of $500 per diem for
the time they are actually engaged in
this work, out of such funds as may
be available for this purpose.

ROOSTER KILLS RAT.

A strange combat was witnessed 10 OAR
oy, Mass, yesterday morning between
a black Miuorca rooster, belonging to
William Crumbach, and q large sewer
rat which WAS attempting to carry away
one of Crumbach's small chickens. In
broad daylight, evidently emboldened by
hunger, the rodent made It's appearance
among the flock and was in the act OF
carrying a young chicken of, when the
rooster saw it. The parent bird made a
rush at the thief and struck it with its
wings and spurs. The rat leaped side
ways at the next onslaught, and then
finding the rooster determined to give
battle, it dropped its prey and for the
next minutes both fought the battle OF
their lives. The rat avoided the sharp
spurs of the rooster as much as possible,
aud as soon as an attack was delivered 1t
would rush in and attempt to faslen its
teeth on the cocks tbrost. The rooster
would Jump several ieet in the cir and
shake of the rat. Finally the rooster
succeeded in putting out one of the rats
eyes, and then it knocked the rat right
aud left until the rodent ran into it's
hole where it died.

WEALTHY ITALIAN KILLED.

w Il
After a quarrel in which five men
took part in the barber shop of lgnszlO
Guide, Monroe street, New York, yes
lerday afternoon, the men backed into
the street and one of them fred three
shots from q .S8-caliber revolver. An
other of the men WAS hit 10 the back of
the head by one of the bullets and died
on the way to q hospital. The barber's
assistant was arrested, but the man who
did the shooting got away.
Francisco Grimi Rinsldi is the name
of the man shot. He wss wealthy
Sicilisn importer OF wines aud olive oil.
He had Just come out of the barber shop
~hpn q young Italian named Alfredo

The boy drew back, pulled big re-
vover from his hip pocket, aud fired
thrice. The first clipped Rnald's thumb,
the second entered the side of the mer-
chants head, just above the brim of his
Pausma hat, and the third struck him
in the abdomen.

Yale Graduates and Undergrad uates Think That He Gould Turn Out a Winning
 Football Team,
NO FAV0RITISM WITH HIM
Trained tho Columbia Eleven Which Trimmed EliS-Membcrs of Pres ent Team Favor Engage
 mcnt of Great Coach,

l While Captain-elect F., H. Coy of the
 Yale football eleven has not appointed
 any head coach for next seasons foot ball eleven, 1t can be stated on good
 authority that his appointce will not | be Howard H. Jones, this years Syra-
 talked of for the position. Howard Jones could undoubtedly have the posi- ton If he wished it, but previous en- agreements will make 1t impossible for I him to accept should the appointment
 be rendered him.
 1 l.. H Blglow will find 1t Impossible
 to return another year and Tad Jones
 Is to become superintendent of a paper mill. SO that his services will not be available. Arthur F. Brides will be in medical school and could not give the requisite time to the work. Captain Burch is to study law in Cincinnati and neither Riddle nor Wheaton would return, So there is nothing to make Captain Coy follow the precedent of appointing one of the players on the previous team
 Such being the case there has been considerable talk among the younger graduates and among the undergrad uates as well toward making slight change in the coaching system. Tho present coaching system where rafts of graduates come back and hang around Room ll7 al the New Haven house seems to have outlived It's usefulness and the complaint has been made that the coaches instead of coaching the team spend all their time writing milk and water articles for metropolitan r.. pers the sole virtue of which is that the authors name Is signed al the top Io of lt
 The plan which has been most fav- orahly thought of and which will be brought to the attention of the athletic council and Of the captan-elect, Is the appointment of George Foster sanford
 as head coach for next year, giving him tho power to exclude from tho field those graduate hangers on who are
 never of the slightest usc to the team and who rctard rather than help It's development.
 The appointment o' Foster Sanford
 would be fought against by certain clement, including the vested rights, but the Yale graduates are demanding winning team and absolutely no fav-
 ortlsm with the men Sanford Is the las, man who could be accused Of fav- oritsm and the eleven men who start ed any game would ho tho best eleven men who could be sent onto the field.
 Sanford has turned out great many winning teams. one of which was tho l Columbia team which defeated Yale.
 Hc has always been able to do more
 with Yale men in few minutes than
 the regular run of coaches could do Tn
 several days Members of the pres
 ent team who will be back next year are strongly In favor of his appoint ment.
