or TH* CBASD JURY. FIRST WEEK OF
TOBER TERM SUPERIOR COURT,
iCMTER COCSTT.
We, the Grand Jurors empaneled
for the first week of the October Term
of Superior Court of Sumter county
for 1884, respectfully submit the fol
lowing General Presentments:
Through the several committees ap
pointed from our body to examine the
books, accounts and official acts of the
various county officers, and the re
port! through these committees,we find
the same neatly and correctly kept,
and it affords us pleasure to commend
these public servants for their faithful
ness and efficiency.
But to specify more particularly and
give the results more clearly, after
diligent inquiry, we give severally the
committees’ reports.
1. We, the committee appointed to
examine the books of the county Com
missioners, find them neatly and ele
gantly kept and the expenditures jedi-
’ >us and with strict regard to economy,
exhibited by vouchers of the county
Treasurer.
2nd. Your committee o» public
buildings find the court horn
ipectable condition as
present building will admit
the jail in Bate condition, very
clean and seemingly well kept, the
prisoners cheerful and as well content
ed as they could be under such circum
stances. We find the eewer conduct
ing the filth from the jail too small,
frequently becoming so obstructed
the filling up of the fame
causing an overllow at the top—being
deleterious to the health of the inmatee.
We recommend the Commissoners to
remedy the evil at once. We also
recommend the replacing all the blinds
missing from the windows,
d. The committee of county
school commissioners report number
of public schools: white, 30; colored,
Hon. C. F. Crisp’s Appointment.
Charles F Ciisp Democratic nomi
nee for the 49th Congress from the
Third Congressional District will ad
dress such of his fellow citizens as will
come out to hear him (all are invited)
at the following times and places:
Dublin, Saturday, Oct 25th.
Mt. Vernon, Tuesday, Oct. 28th.
Lumpkin, Friday, Oct. 3l9t.
We are requested to 9tate that Col.
It. M. Hodge, the Democratic nom
inee for Presidential Elector from
this (the Third) Congressional Dis
trict will meet J udge Crisp at Vienna,
Oglethorpe, Hawkinsville. Abbeville,
Irwinville, Douglas, Perry, Ameri
cas, Leesburg, Eastman, McRae,
Dublin and Mt. Vernon, and address
• the people on the dates named above.
Organize ! Organize !!
Let the Democracy of Sumter be well
organized in every district, preparatory
for the great battle that is to come ofl
on Tucaday, the 4th of November.
Let no Democrat stay from the polls on
that day. The enemy is hard at work
day and night, and any lukewarmness
on the part of the Democracy may
cause the Republican candidate to ci
ry the county. Wc cannot afford
lose this election, but we tell yon ca
didly, that unless the Democrats z
well organizod in every district and 6ee
that every voter is bronght out on the
day of election, there is great danger
of defeat. "To be forewarned is to be
forearmed."
While every one is interested
Presidential contest, which is nacring
np lively, no one should neglect
cast his ballet for the Democratio no
inee for Congress to represent this
district, Hon. C. F. Crisp. The Demo
crats should, and must elect their
didate by a majority, 6uch as will leave
no ground for contest.
Less than two weeks intervenes
the Presidential election occurs, and
from the present ontlook the*Democra
cy will reap a triumphant victory.
Alter being kept out of power for twen
ty-four years the party will again hold
thereins of Government, and by acting
discreetly, it is probable that they will
long retain control of the dcstiai
the republic.
According to an English statistician
the average daily increase of wealth in
the United States is $15,000,000, or
sbont "fifty cents all around" to men,
women and children. The same com
puter claims that this is one-third as
much as the aggregate increase of
wealth in the whole world. A country
of which this can be said should not
groan about bard times.
More encouraging reports come from
Indiana as tbe campaign progresses.
A letter from Goshen, Ind., says: We
have built a wigwam in this city a cost of
$5,000, and have established a reading-
room in connection with it. Indiana ia
safe for Cleveland and Hendricks. We
have organized eighteen compaign
clubs in this county, and each of them
has, on an average, ten members who
have hitherto voted the republican
ticket.

PRESENTMENTS
The thing that is exciting attention
in Ohio is the almost total disappear
ance of the prohibition and greenl ack
vote. Both the prohibitionists and the
greenbackers had tickets, bat they do
not appear to have voted them to any
extent. In 1880 the greenback vote
was 6,456, and the prohibition vote
2,61G, and in 1883 the prohibition vote
was 8,302. It waa folly expected
that the prohibition vote on Tuesday
would reach 10,000. Tbe prohibition
ists appear to have divided their votes
between the Democrats and Republi
cans. To some extent those of the
Prohibitionists who are Democrats
seem to have voted for the Republican
candidates.
The New York Herald states that
Mr. Edward Kearney, the Tammany
Sachem, offered to bet the sum of $5,-
000 even that Cleveland would heat
Blaine in the city of New York. There
were no takers and the money awaits
at the Hoffman House. Thera is other
betting going on, with the odds in fa
vor of Cleveland. Woeriahoffer, the
New York banker, has bet $10,000 ev-
eiUbat Cleveland will be elected, and
also $10,000 to $8,000 that he will
carry New York State. E. K. Wil
-lard, a New York broker, is also a
heavy better. He now books betseech
day at a rate of $100 to$80 that Cleve
land will win, and much larger odds
that he will carry New York.
of his official duties.
The Ordinary reports having
ceived for license—
To peddle, $50. To sell liquor*
quantities above a quart, $•_>. The
above sum of $55 has been turned
to the county Treasurer.
6 th. The county Judges’report shows
ises tried up to date, 1,52a, divided
i follows: Quarterly court, 375;
onthly cases, 700; criminal cases,
450; .total, 1,525. There were ovei
one hundred cases tried in criminal
court that were transferred from' Su
perior court and the amount of quarter
ly cases tried ia which the Superior
court originally had jnisdiction, bat
now tbe county court has concurrent
jurisdiction, making in all, of that clasB
of cases, 475 formerly tried in the
Superior court. He has paid into the
treasury since last court, $39. The
Treasurer’s books will show all
that have been paid into bis hands
heretofore.
th. The tax Collector reports
having received and paid
r to C. C. Sheppard,
treasurer, einee the last report
April term of the court,
$1,016.35, for which he has his
ceipts as vouchers. The committee
appointed to inspect tax Collector’*
and Receiver’s books, find them very
neatly and apparently correctly kept
and commend them for the efficient
manner in which they discharge theii
important trust.
8. The committee, in the examina
tion of the books of the clerk of supe
rior court, found them apparently
,and business of the office well done.
The clerk of court on oath says he has

recommends to be turned over to tbe

OUTHK ORAMI JURY OF WEBSTER COCNTT.
We, the grand jurors sworn and act
ing this October term Webster Supe
rior court, 1884, submit tbe following
as our general presentments.
Through committees appointed by
oar body, together with the aid of our
efficient finance committee, we find as
follows—
We find the court house in good con
dition with the exception of the follow
ing: The steps on the east side are
down, and are in need of new ones.
There is one lightning rod which ia
loose, and should be made atationary.
Also a few lights and one blind need
some repairs. We find the jail
safe condition except the feed doors;
the same is also kept in a neat and
cleanly manner. We have, through
our various committees insTected the
books of the different officers of ous
mty, to wit: Ordinary, Clerk Su
perior court, Sheriff, Treasurer and
county school Commissioner, and find
them kept neatly and in accordance
with law. The books of the various
Justices of the Peace and Notaries
Public have been before us. and
them properly kept,
We find the public roads of o
county in good condition. We find,
imination, the bridges of the county
_ _ be be in good order, with the excep
tion of the bridge across Lannahassee,

On examination of the Treasurer’s

lowing districts were not bronght
1,185, 756, 687, and recom
mend them to be brought forward at
tbe next regular term of court for exam
ination.
10. Committee on poor house report
everything in good order and all the
inmates comfortable. There are six
white inmates and eeven colored.
We recommend that our members in
the legislature secure the passage of a
law dispensing with the necessity of
two grand juries at each term, and au
thorizing one grand jury at each term
to do this work now required of two.
In this way much expense will be saved,
and in our judgment, the law will be
as well administered.
The last legislature made the duty
of county officers to keep an inventory
of all books and other public property
in their custody, and report the same
to grand jury. We recommend that
this, in fatnra, he attended to.
We recommend the appointment of
Mr. W. A. Wilson as notary public
for the Old Sixteenth district.
We reoommend that the pay of ja
rs remain at present.
We the oommittee appointed to ex
amine the sheriff and jail books find
far as we have been able to as

Concerning a matter of $21.20 claim
ed by the solicitor of the county, court
and also by the county treasurer, we
reoommend that the county treasur

settle the question as to whom the
money belongs.

This mammoth organization which
will appear in Americus, on Monday,

the largest and best shows that has
been placed on the road. Read
what the Louisville Courier-Journal
says:
"John B.Doris* New Monster Shows,
consolidated with the Great Inter-

to the circus world. The menagerie

Malarial Poison.
Rome, Ga., May 23,1883.
In 1880 I came from the North to
take charge of the gas works in Rome,
as superintendent, and after the over
flow, which occured in tbe spring fol
lowing, I waa very much expoeed to
malarial poison, and in 1882 foundmy
blood so contaminated with tha poison
that I was forced to give np business.
I was treated by the Rome physiciaans
without relief, they advising me to go
North, which I did. The doctors North
told me tdat my only hope was to return
to the milder climate, and accordingly
I came hack to Rome completely
droken down and nearly a skeleton. My
trouble finally determined in an abscess
of the liver aad nearly every one, myself
included thought I was doomed to die
within a few days. In this condition
I was advised by a friend to take 8wi/t’s
Specific, end I took it just as a drown
ing man would catch at a straw, bnt as
as my system got under the influ-
1 of the remedy, the abscess came
to a point and burst, passing off with
out pun. In fifteen days after this I
waa np at my work, ana have since en
joyed excellent health.
Every sufferer from malarial poison
should take Swift's Specific.
