painting.
We find the Sheriffs and Ordi¬
nary’s books correctly kept.
We find the Drug stores that
have we
visited with their records
kept according to law governing
the sale of poisons.
We recommend that the Stewart
school be paid their prorata school
money, provided they make the
required average in attendance.
We find ten inmates at the Pau¬
per farm, two whites, one male and
oite female; eight colored, five fe¬
males and three males. We find
the moms and beds of each inmate
well kept, and each inmate appar
‘intly well cared for. We recom
m^nd that Sarah Clark, an inmate
ot the farm, be discharged trom
the farm. We also recommend
that the County Commissioners be
more careful iu their investigation
of applicants for the farm and that
they receive no one that has not
been a resident of the county at
least six months pryor to his or
her application. There are nine
houses on the farm in good repair
and one barn iu need of repair. It
being built on wood pillars and we
recommend that rock pillars be put
under same. We find the tenant,
Mr. St. John, taking good care of
land and making some improve¬
ment on farm. We think Mr.
Watson, the manager of the Pau¬
per farir., trying to do his duty to¬
wards all inmates of farm.
We have had much complaint
from nearly all sections of the
county about the bad condition of
the roads and pleading earnestly
that some radical action be taken
to remedy matters. We are satis
fi ec i that the scarcity ol labor is
the main trouble. Our Commis
continue paying Road Tax, if they
can get good roads, otherwise it
will be done only under protest
With the present force it seems
that it is impossible to get over all
the roads and keep them up in
good shape. In view ot this pris¬
ent condition we recommend that
the roids be worked from now on
in the worst places only until this
matter Jean be remedied. It is
suggested, and we think that some
of the worst parts of the road can
be profitably contracted out and
done by free labor.
We recommned that the hill
known as the Pen Middlebrooks or
Wild Cat hill be changed accord
i|,g p, ] a te plans as agreed upon by
the Commissioners and citizens as
as practicable, even at the ex
elusion of other work on that road
near this hill.
We find the dockets of the Jus
tices of Peace fairly well kept. We
recommend that they give more
time to their work, and better in*
informed that Borne few Justices
in (Ra county are hardly' qualified
to fill their offices.
We recommend at the expiration

We recommend that the pay of
THE ENTERPRISE COVINGTON Ga
f KOREAN TO
ENTER
-
H Make Journey
S °me 7,000 Miles of Land
and Water to Study in
This Institution.
A Korean, with the decidedly
Oriental name of Kamma Omar, is
expected to make the journey over
some <,000 miles of land and water
in order to begin a course of study
at Emory this fall.
The chauce words of a mis¬
sionary who graduated at Emory
quite a number of years ago, de¬
cided the young Korean to make
the long journey here and become
a student at Emory, if possible. A
short note acquainting President
Dickev with this decision was re¬
ceived recently, and the arrival of
Kamma Omar is daily expected
His addition to the student body
adds another name to the steadily
growing list ot students from far
lauds who have attended Emory.
W ithin the last few years several
students from the more distant
portions of China have pursued
courses of study heie, and the son
of a Cuban, who was a member of
the Cuban senate at the timeofthe
Spanish- American war, is at pres¬
ent one of the student body.
Kamma Omar is a young man,
hardly 20 years old, and comes of
a family that dates back to the
days when the Tartars first in
vaded China. The traditions of
at. ancestry that taught non-inter¬
course with all foreigners have
been forced upon him from infancy,
but the opposing influence, exerted
by the words of a missionary with
whom he chanced come in contact,
had such an effect as to steadfastly
determine him to enter school here
this y?ar, if such were possible,
If he does attend Emory, he will
have the distinction having '
ot
traveled further in the search after,
an education than probably any
student who has ever studied in
the south. A portion of Korea,
where railroads are practically
unknown, will have to be traversed
all jurors be $2 00 per day; the
court bailiffs be $2 00 p Q r day, and
the riding bailiff's be $8 00 per day.
In taking leave of the court we
desire to express our thanks to his
Honor, Judge L. S Roan, for his
courtesy and consideration, and to
the Solicitor General Win. Schley
Howard, for his assistance.
We recommend that these pre
sentments be published in The
Enterprise and Mansfield Leader j
at a cost of $5.00 each.
Respectfully submitted,
A. N. Hays, Foreman
E. L. Almand, Clerk.
Whereupon it is ordered by the
court that the within General I ic

by him, then a Jong ocean voyage
will follow, and finally trip
a
across a continent will be necessa
ry to bring him to the school about
which his ambitions just now seem
to be centering.
President Dickev and, 111 laet,
every one connected with Emory,
is anxious to see the young K orean
enter college this year, merely be¬
cause ot the novelty of numbering
a comer from such a far land a
mong the student body, but in the
main because, as the past has
shown, such students make the
most indefatigable workers and
best of companions. It is the gen¬
era: hope that in the next few days
Kamma Omar will be one of the
arrivals here.
LETTER TO HEARD WHITE & CO
Covington, Ga.
Dear Sir: Now, may be. you
can’t get the goods; if you can,
your fortune is made.
Cotton cloth—they call it mus¬
lin in some parts—at about the
usual price |?er yard, but wider,
twice as wide as some, and better,
wears, keeps white and whole a
surprising time in all sorts of wear.
You could sell that cloth for
hundreds of miles; tbere’d be no
limit.
A yard goes further; one buys
less yards. Wears longer; one buys
lessoften.lt always looks right
till well worn-out. No one customer
buys so much of it, but think of
the number of customers!
Maybe you can’t gei it in cloth :
but you can in paint: Dtwoe. De
voe is as if it were wider; a gallon
goes further; you buy less gallons;
you pay for less gallons; you pay
for painting less gallons —as if one
paid less lor making a garment of
that wide cloth—and it keeps its
fresh look and sheds water till you
have forgotten how old it is.
It isn’t true in cloth, bur. it is in
paint: the less you pay, the better
it is; for the goodness of paint is
by gallons; less gallons,
more goodness Goodness in paint
is strength. The stronger a paint,
the less gallons it takes for a job
and the longer it wears.

F. W. Devoe & Co., New York.
