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.

Respoctfully submitted, L. B. Bouchelle, M. D. Thomasville, Ga., Feb. 26, 1904. E. M Smith, Esq, Cltm’ri, Commission ers Roads and Revenue, Thomasville, 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. Following^accountsordered paid: road shall remain as it is. E. M. Smith.... $5 OO H.C. Copeland 5 OO J. D. Barrow .S 5 00 W.A. Pringle 5 00 J. Q.
