§he §nu Citizen.
The Survival of the Fittest.
WAYNESBORO, Gi„ APRIL 14, 1900
OUR EIGHTEENTH YEAR ENDS.
This issue concludes the Eigh
teenth year of the existence of
The True Citizen and we say
with pardonable pr,de that it has
been among the very best of the
country weeklies and better now
thau ever. We are not saying this
in a spint of boasting, for Georgia
contains many that have always
been among the first and are most
companionable cotemporary visitors
to our exchange files. We only con
gratulate ourselves that honest ef
fort has been appreciated by a kind
public and that we have merited it.
We shall allow no retrograde
movement, but hope to go on im
proving where we can in order to
give every patron and subscriber
more than the worth of the price
paid. The current history of the
county, state and country as large
will be^iven so that our readers
will be kept informed every week
of any important events of the
world. Our subscription list has
steadily increased and to-day The
Citizen goes into ten times as
many homes a% any paper that cir
culates in the county. Of course
advertisers notice this and appreci
ate the advantages it gives of be
coming Known to our citizens.
Believing that by continued hon
est effort we shall still merit and
receive public favor, and hoping
that prosuerity may grow in all the
South, we begin with our next issue
The True Citizen’s nineteenth
year with best wishss to all patrons
and friends.

SAPPHO AGAIN.
The trial of Miss Nethersole foi
playing Bappho, like that of Silver
uiau for spiling the book resulteo
in an acquittal for each. Tho x-,eth
ersole was tried in New \ork anu
the other in Atlanta, tbe judges
seem to have arrived at the same
conclusion, pronouncing the play
and tbe book not immoral. Tbe
play is founded on tbe book. The
judges each treat the books as crit
ics would, viewing them as works
of art pointing a moral.
The play gives the actress great
liberty tor suggesting the dominant
idea all the way through that the
denouement may disclose the mor
al. As long as tU9 actress mounts
to the sublime heights of art—in tbe
abstract—it matters not wiiai
means are employed, the vulgar
aud the obscene even, all are subor
dinated to the one idea of allowing
art to go on a wild hunt after tht
moral. TUe judges seem to be sat
isfied that there is enough of moral
in the background to save all from
the police provided art can bring it
to view under its powerful glass.
We would like to inquire whert
in the United States the moral
pointed in the piay and the book is
applicable? Tnere is hardly room
to dispute the fact that such immor
al euormitieu as are depicted, afflict
Paris, which is a vast central point
ot wickedness; but does such a class
of irrepressible violators of social
order exist anywhere on this side
the Atlantic ocean ? And if it does
to any appreciable extent it certain
ly must be coufined to narrow lim
its in our two largest cities, In any
event there Is not a breath of sus
picion that it exists in the Soutb.
So the question must arise why
should-such captivating obscenity
be allowed here any more than tbe
grosser kind ? There are no condi
tions existing needing such schemes
for pointing -men morals. There is
no way to escape the point, that we
are either being prepared for, in an
ticipation of, conditions that may
never exist; or that the commer
cial idea of making money cut ol
the natural inclination to depravity
in mankind has fostered the scheme
of giving Sappho to our side of the
world. We saylhis with all deffer-
enee to the two learned judges
whose opinions were honest and
conscientious from their different
and widely separated benches.
Sappho should never have passed
outside the walls of Paris any more
than tbe Arc de Triomjhe ; one a
kind of moral beacon light and tbe
other a physical monument neces
sary to that city and its peculiar
people, but to*no other on earth.
Certainly it is as utterly unneces-
ggi»y for the moral condition of the
South as a play or a book written
to cure us of a belief in Budhism.

GRAND JURY PRESENTMENTS.
Georgia—Burke County:—
Waynesboro, Ga , April 5th, 1900
—We, the Grand Jurors, chosen and
sworn for the April term 1900 of

following general presentments:
We recommend that the follow
ing be appointed notary publics and
ex officio justices of the peace in
the district named: J. L. Hender
son in the G5tb district; J. N. Hatch
er in the 66th district ; W. F. Wil
kins in the 6Sth district.
We have elected R. C. Neely aud
8, W. Palmer as members of the
boad of education for the ensueing
term of four years.
The committee appointed by the
last Grand Jury to examine the
books, records, and vouchers of the
county officials, and the public
ouildings of the county made a very
full and complete report to our
body. On account of its extreme
length we have not embodied it in
>ur presentments. In addition to
the work of this committee, tbe
committee appointed by the pres
ent jury have made as complete an
examination as it was possible to
lo in the limited time at their dis
posal.
jCounty officers.
We have examined all the dock
sts of the various justices of the
peace an N. P. aud ex officio Jus
tices of the peace of the county that
were placed before our body. We
and them neatly kept, and the costs
itemized as required by law. We
find no docket from the N. P. ex of.
J. P. of the 65 district, and no dock
et6 from the same officer in the 74tb
and 75th districts. No dockets from
the J. P. nor N. P. ex of. J. P. in
69th district.
Clerk of the Court.
We find the records in this office
are correctly Kent. We recommenu
hat more roller shelving be placea
in his office for books as there is not
sufficient room for his records.
Ordinary.
We have examined this office
tnd books therein, and find them
aeat and correct in every particu
lar. His records are so made and
placed that any one not familial
therewith, can examine them with
ihe greatest ease,without the slight
est aid from any one, This officer
has collected (and now has in hi
officejall the Georgia Reports.When

books could be found. We heartily
commend this officer for his up-to-
late manner of keeping his records,

tre confident no better Ordinary
aas ever filled ihe office.
Sheriff.
We have examined the records of
this officer and find them correct.
County Commissioners.
We have examined the records
and vouchers of the county com
missioners and find that the books
and vouchers accurately check
each other. We examined the pub
lie property record, aud find that
very few of the officers have com
plied with the law in reference to
tiling an inventory of the countj
property in their hands. We recom
mend that those officers who have
aot complied with this law be re
quired to do so at once.

How To
Gain Flesh
Persons have been known to
gain a /saasssi s cfey by taking
an ounce of SCOTT'S EMUL
SION. it is strange, but it often
happens.
Somehow the ounce produces
the pound; It seems to start the
digestive machinery going prop
erly, so that the patient is able
to digest and absorb his ordinary
food, which he could not do be
fore, and that is the way the gain
is made.
A certain amount of flesh is
necessary for health; if you have
not got it you can get it by

To the Honorable Grand Jury,

at the close of business March 31st.

Frank M. Cates.
Treasurer Burke county, Ga,
County School Commissioner.
We have examined the books ano
vouchers of this officer, and we find
that they are correct and kept in a
neat and legible manner. The pres
ent incumbent is aua ble and pain
staking official. He appeared be
fore our body and made a full and
comprehensive report of the public
senooi work for the past twelve
months.

You will find it just as useful in summer
as in winter, and if you are thriving upon
it don't stop because the weather is warm.
50c. and $1.00, all druggists.
SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemists, New York.
We have examined the jail, and
find it kept in a neat condition. The
inmates say that they are well fed
and caied for.
We recommend that the wind
mill at the jail be put in lirst-ciass
condition. At present it does not
work, resulting in much inconveni
ence to the jailor.
The recent improvements made
to the interior of the court room
add greatly to the comfort and con
venience of the building. We re
commend that those in charge ex
ercise more diligence in looking af
ter the neatness of the building —
that is. see that the floors and stair
ways are well swept and the trash
removed from tbe building every
day during the sessions of court at
least. We further recommend that
if possible some method be adopted
to prevent spitting on tbe floors and
marking up tbe walls.
At the pauper farm we find that
the new Superintendant, Mr. S. K.
Mills, has everything in nice shape.
He is a practical farmer and we
trust that the pauper farm at an
early date will be almost if not ful
ly self sustaining. Tbe inmates are
neatly and comfortably clad and
state that they are well satisfied
with the treatment that they re
ceive. The rooms hre cleanly kept.
We recommend that the building
for white paupers at the farm be
ceiled or plastered, as the weather
boarding has a great many cracks
in it.
We find that the total number of
inmates at the farm to be 16 Of
this number two are white and
fourteen colored.
We recommend that the dog law
passed at the last session of the gen
eral assembly, and approved De
cember 8th, 1899, be adopted and
enforced in this county.
We desire to call the attention of
tbe county officials to the following
section of the criminal code in re
gard to speculation in county or
ders. The section reads as follows:
“if any public officer of any coun
ty in this state shall buy up at a dis
count, or in any manner speculate
in what are known as county or
ders,’ or in ‘jury script,’ or any oth
er order or scrip t which is to be paid
out of any public fund of this state,
or any county in this stale, he shall
be punished as for a misdemeanor,
and shall be removed from office.”
Some of the officials of tbe county
nave been violating this law in the
past unintentionally we think, and
we feel satisfied that since their at
tention has been called to the law
that there will be no further in
fringement.
We recommend that the act pass
ed at the last session of the General
Assembly entitled and act:—For
the protection of turkeys, quail,
doves aud deer,—;and approved De
cember 20th, 1899, be adopted and
enforced in this county. We fur
ther recommend that this act be
published in The True Citizen
for the information of the people.
In conclusion we desire to con
gratulate the county upon the im
proved financial condition of her
citizens, and upon the decrease ol
litigation and crime as evidenced
by the very iight civil and crimi
nal dockets at this term of the
:ourt.
In taking leave of the court, we
lesire to express his honor, Judge
E. L. Brinson our appreciation ol
the efficient, prompt and impatrial
manner iu which he dispatches the
business of the court,
To our Solicitor General,the Hon.
W. H. Davis we extend the thanks
of this body for his uniform courte
sy, and the able manner in which
ne has discharged the duties in
cumbent upon him. It is with sin
cere regret that we learn that he
has declined to be a candidate for
re-election a3 we feel assured that
uo more abie or efficient officer ev
er occupied his present position.
We recommend that these pre
seDtments be published in The
True Citizen.

Augusta Real-Estate
Is the safest investment you
can make. Those who have
uoted the rapid strides ot devel
opment made in Augusta in the
past 5 years, and are familiar
with the vast number of new
buildings, manufactories, indus
tries, etc., that are now 7 in course
of construction are buying real
estate in Augusta, because of the
certainty of great enhancement.
At the present time we can
sell lots in the growing section
of the city for $250 to $500 on
the installment plan ot $10 per
month.
This is better than Building
and Loan Association Stock
which has proved so disastrous
to thousands of stockholders and
as sate as a government bank.
