and kidney trouble and have. found
Annric to be the most successful remedy
to overcome these painful and danger
Gus ailments.
The lucky people are those who have
suffered, but who are now well because

heed these warnings, some of which are
dizzy spells, backache, irregularity. of the
urine or the painful twinges of rheuma-
tism, sciatica or lumbago. To delay may
make possible the dangerous forms of
kidney disease, such as Bright's disease,
diabetes or stone in the bladder.
To overcome these distressing condi
tions you should take plenty of exercise
in the open air, avoid a heavy meat diet,
drink freely of water and at each meal

SUMTER COUNTY GRAND
JURY PRfStNTMENTS
>

We, the grand jury, sworn and i'm
paneled for the May term of Sumter
Superior court, respectfully submit the
following presentments
The body was organized by electing
Prof ]. E. Mathis, foreman; C. G..
Sheppard, secretary; %. G.. Crockett,
assistant secretary, and j. L. Peek,
bailiff.
We have endeavored to investigate,
with a spirit of fairness, all matters
bcougth to the attention of this grand
jury during its session. Having the
material welfare, as well as the moral
interests of the county in view, we
have tride to discharge our duties in
a manner that would be to the best
interest of our citizens.
We are pleased to state in our
opinion, there has been general i'm
provement in prohibition conditions,
judging from the decrease in the viola
lions of the prohibition laws, the only
cases brought to our attention being
in the nature of one or two illicit stills
operated by negroes.
AS there is a manifest violation of
the Sunday selling law, evidence of
which in proper shape has not been
brought to this grand jury to return
indictments, we urge upon the proper
authorities that diligence which will
vindicate this great moral.
We note from the minutes of many
grand juries that have served our
county previously, where recommends
tons have been made relating to the
protection of the valuable records and
documents in the offices in the clerk
and ordinary We find that the rec
ords go back to 1887 and we realize
that if these records were destroyed
zy fire, as has been true in many of
our sister counties, it would cost the
property owners thousands of dollars
in litigation as well as the irregulari
ties and inconvenience it would cause
on account of the loss of he records.
We, therefore, respectfully request his
Honor, Judge q. A. Littlejohn, to in
stall and equip these offices with the
necessary fire proof cabinets, ETC., to
Of &ha dc
in case of fire. We do not understand
why no attention has been given these
several recommendations, and why
such action from the grand juries have
been passed by unnoticed. We feel
that this is case where the barn
should be locked before the horse is
stolen"
We desire to recommend, and urge
the county commissioners to take I'm
mediate steps to check automobile
speeders on highways leading from the
city of Americas to the aviation camp.
There has been considerable com
plant made in regard to speeding and
reckless driving on thisi particular
highway, especially by taXicabs, and
unless some steps are taken at once
to regulate the speed of automobilists,
serious results are likely to follow.
We would suggest that the county
commissioners cooperate with the fed
eral authorities at Souther Field, and
adopt a regulation speed for aUtomo
bilists on this public road, so much
frequented since the location of the
camp.
We desire to commend and approve

many miles of graded roads already,
In fine condition. and most Of the sec
ond and third class roads in fair
shape, and these are being repaired
as rapidly as possible. The bridges
are in good condition We commend
the county commissioners for continu
ing the permanent class of work be
ing done on our roads, and especially
in their efforts to straighten roads,
and in eliminating had courses and
and dangerous places. We deplore
and condemn the custom of the farm
ers in allowing their pillow hands in
filling up the road bitches and drag
ging their plows out into the roads,
thereby causing the water to break
over and in many instances washing
the roads badly.
There are some individual just com
plants, but upon the whole, we find
much to commend in the efforts of our
commissioners to give us good roads.

4 the county commissioners and city
authorities for their cooperation with
the fedearl government in connection
| with the splendid work now in pro
gress in our county in the way OF
health and sanitation The govern
ment, in order to make that part of
the county in proximity to the
aviation camp the most healthy and
sanitary possible, is spending consider
able money in improving conditions
along this line, the most important
work in this connection being the
drainage of Muckalee creek near Am
CIRCUS. DR.. r. l.. Dessausure and Mr..
Tedeman have this work in charge,
and expect to give us one of the clean
est and healthhiest cities and com
munities>in the United States We feel
We are very fortunate in having the
government to do this work of improv
ing the health and sanitation of our
community. We understand there is a
law pIoh.b biting any inc from expetor
a.ile en- the sidewalks. it tends to
spread disease, as well as being 9th "
wise objectionable. t'naer the recent
Georgia State Health law, the county
commissioners were to secure tn eser
vices of a physician, whose duty it was
to improve the health and sanitation
conditions of the county, and to pre-
vent the spread of contagious and in
fictitious diseases, but we understand
the county commissioners have been
unable to secure a physician for this
special work since the resignation of
DIR. McWhorter, who had charge of
the work for the county. We trust the
county commissioners will be able to
secure physician soon, to cooperate
with DR.. DeSaussure in this important
work.
We recommend the reappointment of
the following Notary Public, and Elk
Oficio Justice of Peace:
E. s. Ferguson, for 756th district,
G. NJ
]. F Nicholson, for 759th district,
G. NJ.
We recommend that owing to the

regard to the courthouse property has

his honor, the judge, have the old ci
lapidated and unsightly awnings about
the court house removed and replaced
with new ones wherever necessary.
We recommend and advise that these
general presentments be published in
The Americas Times Recorder, and
that the fee agreed upon be paid for
this. Also that the usual stenograh
ers fee be allowed for tranSScrlbtng
these presentments.
We desire to thank his Hon, Judge

assistance rendered us during our de
