LIKE A GREAT RAILWAY
With its branches running in every
direction, are the arteries and veins
which convey the blood to every part
of the system. When the liver ami
kidneys refuse to act the blood is pie
vented from circulation by poisonou
acids, and then conies Rheumatisms
Dr Drummond’s Lightning Remedy
drives these poisons from the blood,
and Dr. Drummond,s Lightning Lin

Signature of C
Grand Jury Presentments.
We the Grand Jurors selected
chosen and sworn for the March term
of Banks Superior Court beg 1< ave to
make the following general present
mints.
We have by appropriate committees
examined the books and vouchers of
tin- Ordinary Treasurer Tax Collector
and County School Commissioner-
Also the books of the Sh riff, Justices
of the Peace and Notarys Public.
Also the public buildings ihe paupers
Li ra.
Wc fi-vi th® books of the Ordinary
neatly and correctly kept and proper
v< metiers for ail money paid out by
him. The Cierks and Sheriff’s books
are neatly and correctly kept. Ihe
Treasurers book is n-atly. and cor
rectly kept and shows that he lias
received from the Ordinary, Ex-Tax
Collector L J. Ragsdale and Ex-
Treasurer Ash $4,841 dollars and 50
cents. Paid out on proper vouchers
$358 dollars and 9 centsj leaving a
balance of $3,823 dollars and 41 cents
on hand which is verified by cash and
vouchers. The books of Ex-Tax Col
lector Ragsdale is neatly and correctly
kept reflecting much credit on that
officer. VVe find that in settling with
the Ex Treasurer he paiu 4 dollars and
10 cents too much which amount we
recomend to be repaid to him.
The County School Commissioner’s
book is neatly and correctly kept and
we find proper vouchers for all mone)
paid out by him and his records show
an increasing interest in the educa
tional interests of our county mani
fested by a marked increased increase
in attendance at the public sehools.
His book shows that be has received
the sum of $8,183 dollars and 4 cents
for the year 1898. Paid teacher,jeen
sus, enumerators and oilier expenses
the sum of $7,931 dollars and 4 cents
for which he has proper vouchers;
leaving a balance on hand of $252
dollars. We find that these amounts
have been received and paid out by
him at an expense of a little less than
4J per cent. His report shows that
we have in the county 2,665 white and
697 colored of school age, and that
13$ per cent of the white children of
school age above 10 years old and
only 10 per cent of the colored chil
dren of school age over 10 years old
caDnot read nor write. We commend
our worthy commissioner for his able
and earnest eflorts to advance the ed
ucation of our young people and as
citizens we pledge him our hearty
support and earnestly ask all libeity
loving citizens of our county to join
us tu giving him our earnest ce-uperu
tion in this important work.
“We rind the books of Justices of
the Peace and Netary’s Public neatly
and correctly kept, with the excoption
in a few instances entries have been
made with pencil. We recommend
that all entries on dockets be made
with pen and ink.
We find that the roof ol the dwell
ing at the jail, tne front veranda and
one of the walls need repairs, which
we recom ll end should be promptly
done, and that the cells of the jail be
moved to the center of the jail room
so as to secure .proper connection of
the piping. The sanitary arrange
ments of the jail are alright.
The buildings at the pauper’s home
are in good Jrepair and the sanitary
arrangements are alright, the inmates
are well cared for and well satisfied.
The pauper farm is in a reasonably
good state of cultivation and we be
lieve that with proper management
the pauper home can be made self
sustaining, and in view of this fac*'
we recommend that the ordinary make
anew contract with Mr. Wilson, the
present keeper, for. 2 years instead of
one as already agreed upon, requiring
Mr. Wilson to plant forage crops
generally sufficient to support the in
mates from the farm, and that he be
allowed to plaut not more than 3
avres to cotton. Also that he be paid
the balance of the term commencing
with the first of April this year tie
sum of $2.50 pea head per month, in
staad j the amount already agreed
upon. And further that Sally Chit-
wood be admitted to the paper home.
We recomend jthat, Emily Griffin
James Smith and his wife. James H-
Jones, Mrs, Wiley. R.afe Thompson
col aud Rachei Devors col be placed
on the non resident paupers list and
that all non resident paupers be al
lowed from the first of next April one
dollar and fifty cents each per month.
| We recomend that Ur. O. N. Harden
be umployed as the physician of the
paupers home at S6O dollars for t; e
e suing year.
We recotnend that the road com
missioners have mile posts and sien
boards placed on the several fub'ic
roads as the'law directs and that the
roads be put in good fix if not provi
dentlv hindered bv the next term of
the court, or be made to show cause
whv the same was not done.
We reeomend that in the way of
extraordinary work the Ordinary ex
need enough to maks present inoon
venient places in t’ e public reads
respectable anil safe and especially
the narrow pass near the north end
of the bridge at Qnillians mill on
Webbs Creek.
We also reconiend that all new
bridges built across streams on all
first class roads shall be covered so as
to protect them from the weather and
hat all bridges shall be built above
the high watermark in conformity to
specifications of the best mecf anicil
construction and that the Ordinary
receive no bridge from any contractor
until a personal inspection shall prove
that the specifications have been
carried out even t.o a pin or a bolt.

COTTON is and will con
tiffue to be the money
I crop of the South. The
planter who gets the most cot
ton from a given area at the
least cost, is the one who makes
the most money. Good culti

liberal use of fertilizers con
taining at least 3% actual
Potash
will insure the largest yield.
We will send Free, upon application,
