October Term City Court Jurors
FIGURES ARE RIGHT?
Those of Mr.. Smith and the Grand
Jury Committee on the Cost of
the City Court Do Not Agree.

Editor of The News: saw in
your issue of the 18th. inst. COM
munication from j. H. Smith in re-
gard to the cost of running the city
and superior courts. There is a con-
siderable difference between his
statement and the report made by
COMMITTEE of the last grand Jury as
to the cost of each court. One or
the other are at fault. The commit
tees report says that the average
cost in 1905 to dispose of case in
the city court was $499, and in the
superior court $24.O8; in 1906 city
court 1892 and superior court
$34.47, and in 1907 city court $3.50
and superior court $56.47. The
committee also claims that instead
OF the city court being an expense
to the county it is a saving in the
way of taxes, etc, by having paid
into the county treasury large sums
of money for the years 1905, 1906
and 1907. If that be true then the
city court ought not to be abolished,
but amended and the defects, if any
exist, corrected. If the officers are
being paid too much for their
services reduce their salaries, and it
might be we'll to have them elected
by the people, too.
1t seems that the county ought to
have some kind of a court to dispose
Of petty misdemeanOr cases and
thereby save in the way of Jail fees,
etc, as the defendants may not be
able to give bond and have to remain
in jail until the meeting of the su-
perior court, which is only once every
six months.
There will be no trouble in getting
bill through the legislature fixing
the court any way the people want
it when it is made plain that the
legislation sought is in their interest
and not for political reasons.
The average petition doesn't have
much weight these days, as there are
always two sides fighung each other
in local matters, and the legislature
doesn't care to take a hand in such
fractional strife.
AS far as | am concerned | feel
but little interest in the city court
fight, but | believe something ought
to be done to stop and keep down
eternal agitation. Let the people go
about settling this question in their
own way and for their own benefit,
regardless of the interests of the men
who are financially benefited by the
court or the politicians who are
agitating and moving in the matter
for their own ends. Very respect
fully, WILLIAM KAlGLER.

NOW IT'S A DRUG INSPECTOR.
DIR. I. A. Cheatham Recommended
for New State Office.

DIR. 4. n. Cheatnam heCOHmehueO
for New State Office.
Georgia is to have pure drug
inspector. This was decided upon by
the legislature at it's recent session.
The duties of the pure drug in
spectOr will be similar to those now
being discharged by P. A. Methvin
as pure food inspector. Instead of
examining food and feed stuffs it
will be his duty to inspect drugs
which are sold in the state, and
see to it that there are no adultera-
tions by the pharmacists in Georgia.
This Office was created at the ur-
gent insistence of the Georgia Phar-
maceutical Association, and the ap-
pointment of the inspector is to be
made by the commissioner Of agri-
culture upon the recommendation
of this association. 1t will interest
the many friends of Dr. T. A. Cheat
ham in Dawson, his old home, to
know that he has been recommended
for the place.
The suspected drugs are to be sent
to the state chemist for examination.
One Of the articles which will come
under the scrutiny of this inspector
will be cotton seed oil, which is grow
ing throughout the south as a condi-
ment and as a medicinal oil. He will
see to it that cotton seed oil is kept
up to the high standard that the
state demands.
The increased usefulness of cotton
seed oil has caused the sale of it to
be greatly increased the last few
years.

CAN'T BE SEPARATED.
Some Dawson People Have Learned
How to Get Rid of Both,

NOW 10 GeC KID OF Both.
Backache and kidney ache are
twin brothers.
You can't separate them.
And you can't get rid of the back
ache until you cure the kidney ache.
If the kidneys are we'll and strong
the rest of the system is pretty sure
to be in vigorous health.
Doan's Kidney Pills make strong,
healthy kidneys.
Mrs. R. E. Bowen, living at 90 r..
Twelfth avenue, Cordele, Ga, says:
I suffered from kidney complaint
for sometime, and used a number
of different remedies. There was a
severe pain in the small of my back.
and I was also troubled with dull
headaches. Some one advised me to
try Doan's Kidney Pills, and I pro-
cured them. / used them in accord
ance with the directions, and they
helped me a great deal. The pain
in my back has been relieved, and I
feel stronger and better in every
way. There is no doubt in my mind
as to the efficiency of Doan's Kidney
Pills as a kidney remedy"

TERRELL WOULD WORK ALL
OF THE FELONY CONNECTS THE
COUNTY Is ENTITLED TO.

NO" Uses but Little More Than Half
Her Quota of State Felons. Gov
ernOr Smith Asks for Infor-
nation on the Subject.
A few days ago Ordinary w. B.
Cheatham received the following let
ter from Governor Smith:
AS you are perhaps aware, an
extra session of the Georgia Legisla-
ture will be held within the next
ten days to consider the question of
how the convIcts are to be handled.
Will you kindly advise me wheth-
er your county handles felony con-
vets, do you think it probable that
your county next year would use
felony convicts, provided there is no
charge attached to the use? Do you
think your county would wish more
convicts than it's quota? Please let
me know how many convicts you
think your county could use in all,
there being no charge for same'
Judge Cheatham, after comforting
with members of the board of county
commissioners, replied to the effect
that Terrell! would avail itself of an
opportunity to use its full quota of
felony convicts on the public roads.
Since the passage of the law some
years ago permitting the use of state
convicts on county roads Terrell has
not used the full number to which
she is entitled. Her quota is II,
only 10 of which have been used.
The proceeds from leasing the other
7 have been applied to the public
school fund.
From the governor letter it ap-
pears that he regards, for the time
being at least, the working of all
convicts on the roads as the solution
of what disposition shall be made of
them.

II PLOT TO KILL KAISER.
Reported Reason for His Refusal to
Cross the Frontier.

Paris. Sept. IA dispatch from Mnhausen,
Alsace. says that the real reason for the German
Emperor's sudden abandonment of his excursion
into French territory a few days ago was. ac-
cording to the police, the presence Of French
anarchists in the district which the Emperor
proposed 10 visit. At the last moment the po-
lice learned that two French anarchists had
gone TO the frontier with bombs This inforna-
ton came too late to permit the police to follow
and intercept the men. the description Of whom
vague. Accordingly, the Emperor himself
was urged not TO cross the frontier and he re-
luctantly consented not through fear. but IN
view Of the unpleasant consequences that were
certain 70 follow the occurrence Of any untow
ard incident while he was in French territory.
