.CATARRH THIRTY YEARS.
The Remarkable Experience of a
Prominent Statesman—Congress
man Meekison Gives Pe-ru-na
a High Endorsement.
Congressman Mceklsoh of Ohio.
Hon. David Meekison is well known
not only in his own State, but through*
out America. He was elected to the
Fifty-fifth Congress by a very large
majority, and is the aeknowledgedleader
of his party in his section of the State.
Only one flaw marred the otherwise
complete sac&es of this rising states*
man. Catarrh with its insidious ap
proach and tenacious grasp, was his
only unconquered foe. For thirty yeo?s
he waged unsuccessful warfare against
this personal enemy. At last Peruna
came to the rescue. He writes s
“ I have used several bottles of Pc*
rt:r.a and I feel greatly benefited there•
by from my catarrh fmjbe head. 1

U a short time longer I umil be fully able

Ga. -
Dear Sir.—In reply to your inquiry
as to tho effect of the system of work
ing tho public roads in this couuty, of
the various tpnondfnents exacted in 1893,
'96 and 1897,1 bog to advise you fchat/the
method for working the public roads
now and heretofore of force in this
county is that prescribed by sections
608 to 573 and 684 to 599. Yol. 1st, Code
of 895, and is not, in my opinion, in
any way affected by the several amend
ing acts above referred to.
An examination, of the several acts
passed in 1893, '90 07 and 1903, bIiows
that they were intended to apply only
to what is known as tho ‘'Alternative
Road Law,” approved Oct. 21,1891, and
which has'never been, pnt in operation
in Thomas county. Tnis latter system,
os you know, provides for the payment
of a commutation tax, reduces the num
ber of working days, and exempts all
male citizens from road duty, except
those between the ages of 21 and 50
years. This act of 1891 also contained
a provision that it should not go into
effeot in any county “except upon tho
recommendation of the Grand Jurp.”
The Act of 1896 provides for the hold
ing of an election, to be held upon the
filing of a petition signed by not less
than 150 voters of the county, at which
the question of adapting the alternative
road law can be determined.
Further reference to these amending
acts is deemed unnecessary, as they sim
ply affect the details for carrying out
the Alternative Rood Law/’J^
I therefore oonolude that tho restric
tions of public rood duty to citizeus be
tween the ages of 21 and 50 years is
wholly without force* in tills county,
aud that all make inhabitants of the
county between tho ages of 16 and 50
years, except such ns aro exompt yuder
the General Law, aro subject to w«x*k
on the public roads.
Very Truly Yours,
W.-M. Hammond, Co. Atty.

road shall remain as it is.
