are at loss TO understand why such
action from the Grand Juries have
been passed by unnoticed. and with no
heed given their wishes, We believe
that the opinion throughout the entire
County would justify the payment OF
specified salaries to our County offic-
ers without exception, and we insist
that those in authority aid in the &C
complishment of this purpose.
We have endeavored to go into the
matter of insolvent costs of the Coun-
ty, and while we do not wish to en-
barass any Of those Connected with this
particular fund, we do urge and insist
upon the proper records being kept by
each officer interested In this insolv-
ent cost, and to have said record open
to the public and always available to
the Court and its representatives. We
believe that the public should be kept
il touch at all times with the exact
amount of insolvent costs that the
county may be due this fund from
time to time. The Law specifically pre-
scribes how this fund shall be dis
tributed, and also that these records
above referred to must be kept, but
we find that 1t Is very difficult for us
to know the exact status of this &C
count. We have had committee to
wait on the different officers among
whom the insolvent cost is distributed
and some of them seem to have nc
record at all, while others have some
very incomplete records. We urge

During the session Col. Robt. Ellis,
Of Tiff county, appeared before the
body in behalf of the Georgia State
Health Law as provided by statute.
The Grand Jury of the May term, 1916,
having approved the passage of this
law so far as Sumter County Is con-
cerned, and It being necessary for the
next Grand Jury to approve their ac-
ton regarding the law. we, after hay
ing carefully and thoroughly investi-
gated the merits of said statute, rec
cmmepd that this law be applied to
Sumter County and that the proper
steps be made by the County Com
missioners and other officers in au-
thority to put this law in force in our
County and to do so as soon as pos
sible.
The purpose of this health law is to
prevent disease as far as possible, and
it will be the duty of the physician
who is appointed to look after this
work In our County to examine the
children of all schools, as well as
children who do not attend school, in
an effort to locate any chronic or
other disease that might be found and
to prevent the spread of all contag-
ious and infectious diseases of every
nature and character. This physician
referred to will not be allowed to do
general practice, but his whole duty
will be in behalf of preventing disease
of any and all kinds as far as possible.
A stipulated salary Is to be paid him
and he can make no charge for services
in homes and schools or for making
examinations and treatment of diseases
found This, of course, will not con-
fiict with general practitioners, but
we believe with their cooperation
great many fatalities will be prevented
and the general health of the COM
munity improved. We again unhesi-
tatingly urge that our County Com
missioners put this law in force.
We notice that legal notice has been
given to many sessions of the general
assembly relative to bill being in
troduced changing the present system
of paying our County Treasurer from
the commission basis to salary. We
desire to express our approval of this
proposed change, and we urge that
this proposed bill would specify that
the payment of all Of our County
officers be changed from commission
basis to a salary We notice from
the minutes OF many Grand Juries that
have served our County previously
that recommendations we're made to
have the change made as above stated,
but that no attention has been given
these several recommendations. We

Ordinary's Office.

We have examined the DOCKS OF capt,
osao. A. Cobb, Ordinary. and find same
Gnrrectly kept and everything pertain
ing to his office in good order. His
records of whiskey shipments, receiv-
cd in the county since the new prohi-
Sition law went into effect last August,
are particularly interesting +.
n These records show that II, 436 ship
Rsents of liquor were received from
August 21st to November 30th, inclus-
i've, and the recording fee received by
ahe Ordinary for same was $S06.19. The
2rst 100000 of this goes to the Ordin-
AIRY, and after that he receives only 10
ser cent. of fees collected during the
@scal year, sending 80 per cent to the
State.
II would be a matter of wisdom for
aha county to put steel shelves and
cabinets in the vault of the Ordinary's
G1ice to protect the valuable records
kherein from damage by fire, these fix
lures now being of wood. We earnest
~ recommend this be done.

FAIRNESS TO TAXPAYERS.

A Muncfe (Ind.) Judge the other day
made the novel ruling that man not
only has right to lie down In the sa-
loon where he becomes intoxicated but
that it Is his duty to do SO instead of
going to some other place. The vic
tim in the case had explained to the
Judge that after drinking at the bar
he felt the drunken stupor coming on
and SO hurried to the Jail, only a block
away, and gave himself up, because he
did not suppose the saloonkeeper
would permit him to sleep of his in
toxicntion on his premises. $50 you
thought you'd 60 to the jail and let
the taxpayers take care of you7"
queried the court. 1.-THE next time you
get drunk want you to lie down right
there in the saloon and not become a

CAREFUL SELECTION OF SEED
Many Corn Failures Might Have Been
Turned Into Success by Using
Selected Ears.

Nothing else would so cheaply turl.
many corn failures into successes as
good seed corn.
While knowledge Of corn breeding
would be helpful, any farmer can do
much toward supplying himself and his
neighborhood with better seed corn
by starting with well-tested variety
and selecting the best ears from the
best stalks every year. By SO doing,
natural selection assists in wedding out
the unfit.
Where corn Is grown for grain, there
is no better locality from which to
obtain seed than that in which 1t is
to be planted.
