Grand Jury Presentments August Superior Court. We, the Grand Jurors chosen and sworn to serve at the August term of Montgomery Superior Court, submit the following as our general presentments: Through a committee of our body, composed of I. L. Ladson, J. T. Moxlev and W. B. Connell, we have examined the c unty farm, and adopt their report as a part of our proceedings, and at tach same to these presentments as “Exhibit A.” We have also examined the county convict camp by a com mittee appointed to visit the same, composed of Willie T. McArthur, Elijah Miller and W. A. Johnson, and their report is adopted as a part of these proceedings and hereto attached as “Exhibit B. ’’ The Tax Collector of our coun ty has made a special report to us as required by law of the amount of special tax collected, and same is shown in “Exhibit C, ” adopted and attached hereto. We have examined the public buildings of the county, and find the court house and jail kept in good condition. Having examined the pauper aiFairs of the county, we recom mend that no paupers receive any revenue from the county unless they are inmates of the home prepared for the paupers of the county. The tax digest for the year not being yet complete, we rec ommend that the Commissioners of Roads and Revenues of the county levy such tax rate as will raise funds sufficient to meet county expenses for the coming year. We rec'ommend that Mr. Lu cien Morris be received as an in mate of the county farm. The following resolution has been adopted by our body: Whereas, we learn with re gret that a bill having for its purpose the creation of a new county to be known as Treutlen, the same to be carved solely from Montgomery county territory, is now pending before the General Assembly of Georgia, and Whereas, the county of Montgomery, as now constituted, is too small to spare any of its territory; Therefore, We the Grand Jury at the August term of Montgomery Superior Court, 1913, do earnestly protest against the passage of said act as being detrimental to the best interests of this county and state, and re spectfully request that our Rep resentative and Senator take the necessary steps to defeat the passage of said act. In vie\y of the fact that it has seemed impossible to clear the docket of certain business, we recommend that Your Honor called an adjourned term of this court for such date as in the discretion of the court will best serve the purpose intended. Sit Always Helps 9 says Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky., in writing of her experience with Cardui, the woman’s tonic. She says further: “Before I began to use *Qgl Cardui, my back and head would hurt so bad, I thought the pain would kill me. 1 was hardly able to do any of my housework. After taking three bottles g. of Cardui, I began to feel like a new woman. I soon gained 35 pounds, and now, I do all my.housework, as well as run a big water mill. I wish every suffering, woman would give KtM The Woman’s Tonic S a trial. I still use Cardui when I feel a little bad, and it always does me good.” IjQfl Headache, backache, side ache, nervousness, tired, worn-out feelings, etc., are sure signs of woman ly trouble. Signs that you need Cardui, the woman’s Pa tonic. You cannot make a mistake in trying Cardui E Qm for your trouble. It has been helping weak, ailing Fp* 1 women for more than fifty years. 12 HE WM, M W& Cl In taking leave of Your Honor at this term, we wish to express our appreciation of your dis charge with dispatch and consid eration of the business of this court, and assure you that our people appreciate your efforts in the suppression of crime and the advancement of our material in terests. We trust that your rul ings and the dividing evenly of justice in our court may soon be pointed to as a model, and that our people will soon know the full meaning of the motto of our great State, “Wisdom, Justice and Moderation.” To our Solicitor-General, Hon. W. A. Wooten, we wish to ex press our thanks for his able as sistance to our body, and feel as sured that his earnest efforts to serve our people will be duly ap preciated by them. We recommend that these pre sentments be published in The Montgomery Monitor, and that the usual fee of Ten Dollars be paid for their service.

Gentleman: We, the undersigned, your committee appointed to examine into the present condition of the convict camp of this county and report our findings to your body, beg to submit this our report We visited the camp on the afternoon of the Gth. of August, and we find that the camp is well kept and the sanitary condi tions are in good shape. The food kept for both convicts and stock is of good quality and in sufficient quantities. So far as we were able to observe or as certain the law is being complied with relative to the keeping and working of the convicts. We desire in this connection to commend the permanent charac ter of the work now being done on the public roads and trust that it will be continued. We feel that road building of a perma nent nature is far more economi cal for the county than work of a temporary nature, and we are convinced that our Superinten dent is fully competent to per form high grade work.
