In consideration of the scarcity of

-snd that the erection of a nsw county

vints of the county, and is adc ^uatc for
the safe keeping of prisoners. It i» well

FINANCE.
After a full nnd free consultation with
•he County Commissioners and all other
inilable sources of information, we have
ietermined to recommend the assessment
•fa tax of one per cent, for State, county
ad educational purposes, believing that
mount will bo amply sufficient to cover
ill expenses, the county being freo from
ill save a bonded debt of $7,000, with a
nrplia of about $5,000 now in the treas

PUBLIC RECORDS.
It is impossible for a committee in the
short space of a fortnight to make a
competent examination of all the books
of the county. We therefore—in order
that the work may be efficiently done—
hare appointed an auditor or accountant,
whose duty it shall be to examine the
books of all tho county officers for tho
year 1871,1872, 1873, 1874, and report
upon such matters as ore fully set forth
a the reioiutions accompanying these
iresentmerts.
The following named Justices only
hne submitted their dockets to us:
Grsnniss, Core, Sprinz, Holt, Simmons
:ri Driggers. Comparison with the
earner in which these dockets were for
merly kept shows that the officers are
mow faithfully observing the require,
nents of the law.
Without drawing invidious distinctions,
it would be just, however, to add that
eereral of these magistrates have been
always commended for tho correct man
ner in which their dockets hare been kept.
We find in our County Court, a most
excellent system of administration and
record now prevails—the books of this
toart being kept ia the most approved
clerical and business-like style.

Sec. 2. All laws militating against this

Whereas, After careful investigation
of tho various expenditures for carrying
on tho government of this county, we
are of opinion that the amount required
of our citizens for taxes has been and is
now entirely too large, and it farther ap
pearing to us that the onerous burden of
taxation is endured and borne by less
than one-third of our citizens—the re
mainder refusing to pay any tax what
ever. And whereas, for the first time ia
a great many years there has been re
cently published a statement of the re
ceipts and disbursements of the people’s
money, although it ba3 been always ex
pressly provided by law that tho County
Treasurer should publish annually a
statement of his accounts, and for thi3
reason principally and for the farther
reason that this Grand Jury has seen fit
to recommend the enactment of certain
statutes for the material reduction of
the expenditures of this county- And
whereas, it is very important that onr
citizens chonld have a thorough knowl
edge of what the various departments
of the connty are now costing them,
and wbat they have heretofore cost
and what tbo various county officers
are now receiving, and havo heretofore
received for their services, to tho end
that tho value of the proposed changes
in onr laws as suggested by this Grand
Jmy may be clearly set forth. And
whereas, in accordance with section 3921
of the Code of 1873, a Grand Jury is au
thorized to appoint , any citizen of the
county to examine and inspect the rec
ords of the connty:
Therefore be it resolved. That the
Foreman of this Grand Jury together
with tho Finance Committee, suggest
the name of some competent citizen of
this county to this Jury to examine the
public records of this county.
The duties required of said citizen so
appointed shall be,
First—To examine and make a consol
idated report as to what tho cost has been
to this county of the Juries of the Sape-
riorjCourt for the years 1871,1872,1873,
and 1874, so that a comparison may
“be made of the relative expenditure
for said item for said years; also
report showing the cost of tho
bailiffs of said court in accordance
with the same, and a consolidated report
for each year aforesaid of the total ex
penditures of said court.
Second—Also a consolidated report as
to the salaries received each of said years
by the County Commissioners, Ordinary,
Clerk of the Superior Court, Sheriff, So
licitor General, Tax Collector, Tax Re
ceiver, Connty Treasurer, County Court
Clerk and Coroner, and to whom paid;
also, any amount paid otherwise than for
salaries for any purpose to any of said
officers, and to whom paid.
Third—It shall be the duty of said cit
izen to make a consolidated report for
each of said years, showing the connty
expenses of Court-house, jail, bridges,
roads, paupers, hospital, and any other
expenditures of money that ho may think
important to report upon for the informa
tion of the Grand Jury for the fall term
of 1875. _ ,,
Resolved farther, That said citizen
shall be allowed for hi3 services as afore
said the sum of two and a half dollars
per diem, but on no acoount is said sum
to amount to more than $150.
Said citizen shall make said report to
the Grand Jury for tho fall term of this
year for their consideration.
The Georgia Teachers* Association
and the School-Book Question
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: Please
give place in your columns to the reply
of the Secretary of tho Georgia Teachers’
Association to the article written by a
Griffin correspondent of the Atlanta
Herald and copied by you in your issue
of Sunday morning, May 9th.
We fully endorse Mr. Stevens’ state
ments, believing them to present the
true position of the Georgia Teachers’
Association, and hope that they will re
lieve it from the odium which (possibly)
has been placed upon it so undeservedly
by tho Herald’s correspondent.
Tours, very respectfully,
A. J. Battle,
B. M.Zettlee,
W. B. Bonnell.
want of acquaintance with the personal
character and history of the men he de
cries. The most casual glance at the
lists of names belonging to the faculties
of the State University. Mercer and Em
ory, and the boards of instruction and
superintendence in our two largest cities.
Savannah and Atlanta, is quite sufficient
to reverse his statement.
Very respectfully,
W. L*C. Stevens,
Sec’y Georgia Teachers’ Association.
Below we give a communication from
Mr. Lo C. Stevens, Secretary of the
Georgia State Teachers’ Association, in
which it will bo seen that his views and
those of our reporter, printed jn Thuxs
day’s Herald, do not agree. It is possible
that this question will assume interesting
proportions, and in view of tbi3 possibili
ty wo invite tho public to a close obser
vation of the different statements. "While
our reporter may have been a mite too
hasty and used some words in Ms article
which, properly speaking, were ill-timed
and out of place, yet, upon the whole,
the question sprung by him is one that
should attract the most profound atten
tion of the public; because no possible
harm can arise from a candid investiga
tion of this monstrous subject.
Below we give Mr. Stevens’ state
ment, just a3 banded in:
Atlanta, May 7,1875,
Messrs. Editors: My attention is called
to an article in the Herald regarding the
last meeting of the Georgia Teachers*
Association, in which the writer, appar
ently striving throughout to be sarcastic,
is guilty of misstatements that do great
injustice to a body of men who havo
done nothing to excite his hostility.
Aside from tho sweeping application
of the trivial term “pedagogues” to a
representation including such men as
Rev. B. Sears, D.D., President Battle, of
Mercer.IJniversity, Prof. W.LeRoy Bronn,
and Mr. B. Mallon, your reporter U3es
the following words:
“It is evident to a casual observer that
there is not that harmony and eordiale-
enjoyed between these brethren of the
‘rule and ferrule’ as might be desirable.
It is whispered around that the concern
is controlled by a certain ‘ring,* who in
sist upon none but Northern publications
as being the only ‘complete and correct’
series being used, while others insist
that there may be some gixid, even in
‘Nazareth’—or the South. We regret to
see this difference manifested, and it
will eveatually redound to the disturb
ance of the Georgia Teachers’ Associa
tion.”
There La no need to set forth the ob
ject and aim3 of the Association. Ac
tivity of discussion docs not imply want
of harmony, or personal animosity. It
is possible your reporter may have heard
of some private disagreement, that has
escaped the ears of those who were most
active in the work of the session; but
after conversing with a number of these,
I failed to ascertain the ground of his
injurious observation, which is the oppo
site of that made by myself and those as
sociated with me. If any successful,
imprudent, or disaffected took agent has
“ whispered ” insinuations a3 to the ex
istence of a “ring” who control the
“concern” for the special benefit of
Northern book-sellers, his face illuminat
ed with the warm glow of patriotism and
nobly scornful of pecuniary gain, your
reporter could easily have ascertained
the truth from some officer of the Asso
ciation, before heedlessly putting into
print such utterly groundless aspersions.
The Association has never, on any oc
casion. discriminated between different
publications, nor even permitted the
open discussion of their relative merits.
Opportunity has always been granted
the book agent3 to display their publica
tions to individuals, and wc aro pleased
to have them do so; but no influence, di
rect or indirect, has ever been employed
to favor any publisher or section, by ring
or otherwise. While tho members are
mostly men of Southern birth or educa
tion, they aro unwilling to recognize the
contentions between competing publish
ers, either Northern or Southern. Text
books most stand or fall upon their own
merits, and not for political considera
tions. It is natural that a meritorious
text-book, written by a Southern author,
should among us be preferablo to one in
wMch there is misrepresentation of our
people; but there are few classes of
schoolbooks in which much is found for
tho inculcation of political precepts on
cither side, and whatever may be the
choice of individuals or of schoolboards,
no credit or bl&mo can, on their account,
be legitimately attached to the Georgia
Teachers’ Association, or to any imag
inary ring among its members.
Those who were present at tho late
meeting in Griffin aro quite well aware
what book agents were in attendance.
The tone of your reporter’s article is
tuch as to place before thoir minds, in a
most unenviable light, the agent of one
company in particular, whose writers aro
to a largo extent professors in Southern
Universities, but whose books havo not
supplanted all others of positive merit. I
have conversed with this gentleman, who
disclaims all responsibility for the offen
sive insinuations of your reporter. The
threat that tho partiality, assumed to
exist, will "eventually redound to tho
disturbance of tho Georgia Teachers’
Association” must therefore bo based up
on information for which neither this
gentleman nor the Georgia Teachers’ As
sociation can bo held responsible.
Tour reporter furthermore asserts it as
“a fact that tho controling spirits of our
most important ;institutions of learning
are managed by people of Northern
birth j” and intimates that these, as‘ well
as tho "ring” above mentioned, are favor
able to authors and ideas “of foreign ex
traction, to the almost utter and entire
disregard of tho claims which our South
ern authors have upon our section.” , Jn
making so rash and sweeping an osser.
Tbe Connty Fair.
The Bibb County Agricultural Society
earnestly requests the merchants and
manufacturers of the city and county to
unite with the agricultural community
in making such a display of their pro
ducts as will insure the success of the
annual county fair, to be held on the 24th
and 25th of June next.
Tho premium list, greatly improved,
with premiums in the several depart
ments largely increased, will be received
this day by nearly every family in the
county. The society would be pleased to
have thepublic interested to that extent as
to be assured of a large attendance, and
any suggestions mode to tho President or
Secretary looking to the improvement of
the list or adding to the attraction of tho
fair, will bo thankfully received. The
society would also feel greatly encour
aged by the offer of special premiums by
tho citizens. Tho liberal donations by
the merchants last year made this fea
ture of great benefit to the society and.
greatly increased the number of articles
entered for competition.
The officers of the society inform us
that this year an efficient police will be
un the grounds day and night specially
charged with the protection of all articles
on ejiibition. Wo hope to see a large
show in all the various departments.
This fair is something more than a
buncombe display of large, and often
abnormal productions of the soil. It is
an exposition of the products of tho re
sources of the county—agricultural, hor
ticulture, fioricultural, manufacturing
and mechanical—and are meant to show
from yeer to year what progress our peo
ple are making in the development of
their resources. It i3 not simply a farm
ers’ show, but it aims to give equal at
tention to every department of business,
Besides, by bringing tho producing peo
ple together, it begets an intercourse of
opinion which disseminates intelligent
ideas and gives each an opportunity to
profit by the experience of the other.
We regard theso county fairs as the
most important events that ever trans
pire in the county, and we hope the pub
lic will soon learn to regard tbem in the
same light. When they do so, then will
tho fairs become indeed expositions of
the wealth and prosperity of the county,
and they will be exhibitions of which any
county might feel proud.
An Aristocratic Emigrant for
Georgia.
Wo find tho following in a late copy of
the Free IFisst, an Anglo-American paper
published in London:
The Hon. and Rev. James Wentworth
Leigh, brother of Lord Laigh, of Stone-
leigh Abbey, Warwickshire, who for
some years hold the family living of
Stoneleigh, where he was universally re
spected, has bid adieu to Albion’s un
grateful shores, and arrived in New
Tork recently by the White Star steamer
Celtic, en route for Georgia, where he
will make his home in' future. The es
tate wMch he goes to cultivate is the
property of Mrs. Leigh, an American
lady, whom the Hon. and Rev. gentleman
wooed and won whilst on a tour in tho
country some three years ago. The prop
erty is of vast extent, but owing to tho
unfortunate results accruing to the
Southern States from the late unhappy
civil war, it is now only partially culti
vated. One of the far-famed Sea-Islands,
at one time producing the finest cotton
in the world, is included in tho estate.
Mr. Leigh has taken out with him eight
English laborers, a blacksmith, carpenter,
and wheelright, and their families. He
proposes to see how these men like the
country and assimilate themselves to the
conditions of climate, and if everything
promizes favorably he will, after a time,
encourage colonisation on a large scale.

SlIOl/Li) nut 8d regarded as a trifling ailment
—in fact nature demands the utmost regularity
of the bowels, and any deviation from this de
mand paves tho way often to serious danger.
It is quite as necessary to remove impure accu
mulations from the bowels as it is to eat or sleep,
nnd no health can be expected where a costive
habit of body prevails.

by me for Costiveness, and

Mosey asd Life Saved by its Use—Isipor-
taxp Discovery.—Galileo invented the tclo-
scope; Columbus discovered a new world; Har
vey, the circulation of tho blood, and to Professor
Morso is duo tbo credit of teaching tho lightning
how to talk; but it was reserved to Dr. J. Brad-
field to penetrate tho mystic depths of science
and drag therefrom tho wonder of our century.
The victory has been won, and woman is free.
The sale of Dr. J. Bradfield's Female Regula
tor is unprecedented in tho histoiy of popular
remedies, and thousands of certificates are com
ing in from grateful women throughout tho
Union attesting; its powers and applauding its
untold benefits to their sex,
A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN.
Ina neighboring village there lives a young
lady, who, two years ago, was an object of pity to
all who knew her. From a little Imprudence at
an improper time, she became irregular, and was
the victim of suppression in all its horrors. Such
were tho ravages of the disease, she was misera
ble and unfit for social enjoyment. After trying
many remedies, and paying much money to phy
sicians, a friend sent her a couple of bottles of
Regulator. Slie improved after taking the first,
and before taking the second she bocamo sound
and well. Now, two years after taking the first
bottles, she is fully restored to her former health,
and is a most beautiful woman. Proper respect
ior the family prevents our giving the namo.
Tms distressing affection occurs most fre
quently. The disturbance of tho stomach, arising
from tho imperfectly digested contents, causes
a severe pain in tho head, accompanied with dis
agreeable nausea, and this constitutes what is
popularly known as Sick Headache.
Unfailing Remedy.—
“I have used Dr. Simmons’
Liver Regulator in my fami
ly for Dyspepsia and Sick
Headache, and regard it an
invaluable remedy in these
attacks. It has not failed to
give relief in any instance.”
—Rev. W. F. distorting. P. E.
Tallahassee Distnct, Florida
Confeience.
A Pleasant Remedy.—The chango in the
weather lias given a great many persons colds,
coughs, bronchitis, sore throats, hoarseness, etc.
Instead of nauseous medicines, stews and villain
ous compounds,ourcitizensareusingthatpleasnnt
and delightful remedy. Globe Flower Syrup,
which always effects a euro in a few days, and
sometimes in a few hours. Neglect a cold and
pay either a doctor’s or an undertaker’s bill. The
list of diseases and the great number of deaths
resulting from a simplo cold are frightful, and
may bo avoided by having always at hand a bot
tle of Globo Flower Syrup, whioh is equally and
certainly remedial for all stages of lung and bran
chial disorder, from a simplo cold to a confirmed
consumption. Bo wise in time,’tis madness to
defer. Next day tho fatal precedent may plead
and yon may drop into an early grave—all for
want of ono bottle of Globo Flower Cough Syrup.
Mcthers, remember that Globe Flower Syrup
is a specific for croup, and children love to take
it. Never ho without this invaluablo remedy, to
administer on tho first alarm of croup. Cut this
out. It may savo your life, and with sound lungs
and a healthy organization, livo long to bless its
discovery and praise its great merits.
It is sold by first-class druggists and chemists.

Do. Schbsck’s Standard Remedies.—Tho
standard remedies for all diseases of tho lungs
aro Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup, Schcnck’s Sea
Weed Tonic, and Schenck’s Mandrake Pills, and,
if taken before the lungs aro destroyed, a speedy
euro is effected.
To these three medicines Dr. J. H. Schenck, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the
treatment of pulmonary diseases.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter
in tho lungs; nature throws it off by an easy ex
pectoration, for when the phlegm or matter is
ripe a slight cough will throw it off, tho patient
has rest and the lungs begin to heal.
To enable tbe Pulmonic Syrup to do this,
Schenck’s M&udrako Pills and Schenck’s Sea
Weed Tonic must be freely used to cleanse the
stomach and liver. Schenck’s Mandrake Pills
act on the liver, removing all obstructions, relax
the gall bladder, the bile starts freely, and tho
liver is soon relieved.
Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic is agcntlo stimu
lant and alterative; tho alkoii of which it is
composed, mixes with the food and prevents
souring. It assists the digestion by toning up
the stomach to a healthy condition, so that tho
food and tbo Pulmonic Syrup will make good
blood; then the lungs heal, nnd tho patient will
surely get well if care is taken to prevent fresh
cold.
All who wish to consult Dr. Schcnck, either
personally or by letter, can do so at his principal
office, corner of Sixth and Arch streets, Philadel
phia, every Monday.
Schenck’s medicines are sold by all druggists
throughout the country.
