Augusta, Ga, June Hon. Thos.
E. Watson, once democratic member
OF congress, twice nominated by the
populist party for the presidency of
the United States, and who has long
been one of the chief controlling fac
tors in politics, as a populist in this
state, announces in card his return
to the democratic fold. He says:
Every energy of my heart and soul
will be consecrated henceforth to do
ing something for the good of the
country through the democratic pa
ty. Stern experience has taught me
that no other method can succeed in
the South.
Asking. nothing for myself, I will
labor with all my strength to restore
to the common people the control Of
their public affairs; to elevate the old
Southern ideals of craftsmanship; to
unfetter the South from the domina
ton OF republican states in the ma

bring ante-bellum democratic princi-

abuses of special privilege and re-es-

SCHLEY MAY GET IN
ON THE AUTO ROUTE,
Through Its Connection
With Sumter Roads.

The letter published in Times-Re-
corder from Mr. ]. B. Williamson,
chairman of the good roads commit
tee of Ellaville, urging that EllaviIle
be on the route for the all-round-the-
state auto run, to be pulled off the
coming fall, attracted considerable
comment among autoists in Americus.
and otEtars who while not owners of ma
chimes are yet nevertheless greatly
interested in the extension of good
roads throughout the section round
about Sumter.
The more good roads that connect
up with the Sumter system the more
likelihood of this county and the sec
ton about it getting recognition in
the blue books that/give information
as to auto trips, and also the greater
advantage to the people of this and
its neighboring counties in matters of
pleasure and business.
Chairman Frank Sheffield, of the
Sumter county commissioners, thor
oughly sympathizes with the aspi-
rations of the people of Schley county
that their county be included among
those that are to get the benefit of the
great advertising resulting from the
tour of the state by the autoists of
Georgia, our on which the attention
not only of Georgia, but of the entire
South will be cen.tered Chairman
Sheffield has written to Mr.. William
son as follows:

HOW MUCH Do YOU
MAKE :? THEY ASKED.
But Officials Replied. Nay,
Nay. Pauline /!
A Grand Jury Incident
That Has Aroused
Much Interest.

A little difference of opinion is sale
ITO have arisen this week between
some members of the grand jury ant
the county officials, a difference not al
all serious and yet said to have beer
quite marked.
, 1t appears that some of the grand
jury, according to the reports, wee
desirous of ascertaining how much
money the various officials workine
under the state fee system made. The
purpose, it is said, was to make a
public statement of the income from
the various offices.
The law fixes all the fees that are
collectible in any office, and lays down
very rigid rules governing the busi-
ness of the officials. Heretofore the
grand jury members have contented
themselves with seeing that the fee
schedule was not violated, that the
books were kept properly, and that
otherwise the business of the several
offices was conducted as it should he
Naturally, there was some irritation
when some of the grand jurors began
to make direct inquiry as to how much
money each official of the county made.
The officials, so it is said, could not
see that this was part of the Official
duty of the grand jurors, but regard
ed it as beyond their power. AS re-
suit, it is understood, there was a
declination to get up information
along these lines.
There is no power vested in the
grand jurors, it is stated, to require
officials to make up statements show
ing how much income they derive
from their offices.
This has never been done here be-
fore, and never, as far as known, done
in any other county. The officials
were quite willing to have their of.
fees thoroughly investigated as to the
manner of conducting business and
keeping records, but it appears they
decidedly baked when the idea IF
preparing statements of income was
put up to them
1t has been intimated that parties
thinking of entering the field as can
didates for office later on indirectly in
stigated the movement to secure a
statement of incomes for publication.
Whether this is so, of course, is not
ascertainable.
The grand jurors undoubtedly did
not act with any such purpose in
view, but perhaps with the idea of
making recommendation relative to
the fee system. At various times pro-
positions have been made in the legis-
lature for the abolishment of the fee
system. and the substitution of fixed
salaries, graded according to the pop
ulation or taxable wealth of a county.
Various grand juries have endorsed
this idea, and it is quite possible that
some such view as this was the ac-
tuating impulse that lead to the ques-
tfoning as to the incomes derived by
the present incumbents from their Of
fees.
