the habitually unclean and
not suffer the filth of his or her
panion. We find the jail perhaps
sufficiently safe but in a fdthy condi¬
tion/' Thus the jury of October
j 38 2 .
In April 1883, the report rea<js :
“We find the jail in good order
far as repairs and safety are concern
ed, but find it very necessary that it
should be cleaned, being in a filthy
condition.”
The October Jury of that year
found the jail safe and neatly kept.
a new jail hoped for.
The jury of April 1884, say: “ n
reference to our jail it is not the in
tention or wish of our body to pro
vide palatial halls and downy beds
for parties charged with crime, but
our great commonwealth does not
authorize punishment before convict¬
ion and no civilized Christian land like
ours should permit it. We sincerely
hope soon to know that more com¬
fortable quarters and roomy apart¬
ments are provided for the prisoners
of our county and that they will be
subjected to less filth and that pris
oners will be compelled to look more
closely after the cleanliness of their
apartments and habits.
GROUNDS FOR GRATITUDE.
The last Grand Jury pronounced
the jail safe and cleanly as its crowd'
ed condition would permit, They
thought the inmates “had much to
thank the Sheriff for in his efforts to
secure their comfort.”
LET IT COME.
This is the record for a dozen years.
Always filthy at its best, Now let
the Grand J ury this week in the
name of humanity and Christianity
authorize and recommend the build
ing of a new jail. Five or six thous¬
and dollars will give the county such
a prison as she needs, that will last
for all time. A tax of one fourth of
me per cent—25 cents on the hun¬
dred dollars—will raise the necessary
funds. The county commissioners
are gentlemen who will give the mon¬
ey they spend in this cause the best
direction possible, and we believe
they are now all agreed that the
county needs a new jail.

HOW CRENSHAW SECURED
HIS APPOINTMENT.
Washington Free Press.
How Col. Crenshaw came to be
#
made internal revenue collector in
Georsiajihould be made known to
the gooa people of that State. He
came on to Washington in search ot
the marshalship now held be the no
to T ious Bryant. As soon as he got
here he learned that Senator Brown
intended to retain Bryant in office
until next December, when the pro
gramme is to place one N.lms in his
place. This Nelms is now at the
head of the Georgia convict camp>
and is a bosom friend of Senator
Brown, Crenshaw at once sent
home and got a batch of letters, writ
ten by Nelms, that were models of
ignorance, bad grammar, and incor
rect spelling. He took these letters
to Senator Brown and threatened to
deliver them to Attorney-General
Garland, that he might sec how ig¬
norant Brown’s prospective marshal
of Georgia is. The Senator implored
Crenshaw not to expose the ignorance
of this convict commander, offering
to have Crenshaw appointed internal
revenue collector, vice-Johnson.
There was a sudden running to and
fro, Brown working almost as hard
for Crenshaw as he has been known
to do for Bryant and Bill Pledger.
The appointment of Crenshaw was
made in a “jiffy,” and he left
for Georgia in possession of a fat of
fice, which he never could have got¬
ten had he not threatened to expose
the ignorance of Brown’s friend,
Nelms, who is booked for Bryant’s
shoes next December. The average
Georgian in search of an office may
take the hint from the above, and
force Toe Brown to give him an office
simply by threatening to come on to
Washington and expose the cornfield
1 norance of convict superintendent
Nelms. Be ore appointing Nelms to
ihe marshalship next December, Mr.
Garland should send for him and
hear him discourse on
ai” for gubernatorial, and other sim¬
ilar specimens of assminity.
My Crutches Gone*
1 have suffered from rheumatism
for seven or eight years. For one
ye at I was competed to use my
crutches. I tried variot.s remedies,
especially every sort of liniment, but
none of them did me any good, I
saw in the newspapers an advertise
ment of Swift’s Specific for rheuma¬
tism, and resolved to try it. I have
taa.en four bottles. After I had tak
e n it awhile I was enabled to throw
away my crutches, I commenced
using Swift’s Specific last November,
and have had no further use for
crutches, and only suffer a little at
times now, and would not have suf
fered at all if I had continued to take
the medicine. My experience with
liniments is that they are of but little
benefit, and that only temporary.
The disease is in the blood and must
be eradicated, and that is the reason
I took S. S. S. It is the best blood
purifier I ever used,

The Youngest Can Use It.
My child, when about one month
old, was afflicted with a dreadful
breaking out on the side of the face.
I took him to the doctor, who did
not think there was much the matter,
but the child continued to grow
worse. The little fellow was suffer
ing so much and was so fretful that
we had no rest night or day. We
consulted other physicians and they
did what they could, but brought no
relief to the sufferer. I tried every
thing at hand or that I could hear of,
but without the desired effect. About
this time I saw an advert sement of
Swift’s Specific. It was recommend*
ed for skin diseases. I purchased
f° ur bottles. The first bottle did
a S rea * deal of go»d. After us
* n g die third bottle the disease en
tirely disappeared, and the child is
now perfectly well. I would recom
mend S. S. S. as a household reme
dy, a * it has brought both health and
happiness to my own,,
