We have examined the Tax Receiv er’a books and find them in good order. The gain in the returns for 1908 over | 1907 was $133,174. TAX COLLECTOR’S BOOKS. We have examined the Tax Collec tor’! books and find them neatly kept. We also find that not all of the special taxes have been paid for the year 1908. In the above report we beg to say that the examinations were as carefully done as the limited time allowed would permit. PUBLIC BUILDINGS. We have inspected the public build ings, and find the court-house neatly kept and in good condition, except the leaks around the dial of the clock, which we recommend shall be repaired as early as possible. The jail is in ex cellent condition, neatly kept, and we stances where officers failed to show disposition of cases. The books of the following G. M. districts were not pre sented for examination: (191st. (Se- noia) : 557th, (Hurricane;) 113th, (Grantville;) 1393d, (Haralson). We also find a vacancy in the office of N. P. and ex-officio J. P. in the 691st dis trict, caused by the death of H. H. Harrison, and recommend the appoint ment of J. L. Christian to fill the va cancy. BAILIFFS AND JURORS. We recommend that bailiffs and jurors be paid $2 per day, as heretofore, for services rendered next year. COUNTY FARM. We find nt the farm 9 whites, (2 males and 7 females,) and 9 negroes, (5 males and 4 females,) making a to tal of 18 inmates. The following stock is qlso on the farm: Three mules used on the farm; 3 lame mules from other public works; 5 milch cows and 1 calf; 4 hogs for meat. We find in cul tivation 25 acres in cotton, 40 acres in corn, 20 acres in peas, 14 acres in sweet potatoes, 2 acres in watermelons, and 2J acres in cane and turnips. There are also on hand at the farm 57 bushels wheat, 5,642 bundles fodder, and 26 bushels oats. There was made on the farm this year 126 bushels of wheat and 40 bushels oats. We find the build ings in good condition generally, but recommend that the inmates’ houses be whitewashed on the inside. We indorse the management of the present super intendent, Mr. W. L. Cruce, and be lieve he is the right man in the right place. In our best judgment, the farm is as economically run as is practica ble. COUNTY CHAINGANG. We find the camp well kept, and re port it in good condition. It is now lo cated on the road between Newnan and Corinth, about 10 miles from Newnan. We find the number of prisoners in camp, 50; one superintendent of the camp, and 4 guards, but no black smith ; 40 mattresses; 84 blankets; 100 suits; 19 mules in good condition; 1 horse; 7 wagons; 8 dirt carts; 2 grade plows; 48 shovels; 42 picks; 10 axes; 5 dogs; 4 portable cars. We commend Capt. Nash for his discipline, and the way he conducts the business of the camp. 'RECOMMENDATIONS. We recommend that these present ments be published in The Herald and Advertiser, Newnan News, and the Se- noia Enterprise-Gazette, and that each of the above-mentioned papers be paid $10 for such publication. THANKS. We desire herein to thank His Hon or, Judge R. W. Freeman, for his able and forceful charge to our body, and we especially emphasize our apprecia tion of that part of the Judge’s charge relative to the prohibition law of this State; also, to the Solicitor-General for his polite attention and the valuable aid cheerfully given us in the performance of our duties. We desire to thank the Sheriff and other officials rendering us assistance. We also tender our thanks to our foreman, Madison F. Cole, for his fair treatment and rulings while presiding over our body, and to our efficient clerks, I. N. Orr, Jr., and H. Abner Camp, for the prompt and zealous per formance of their duties.

It is the evident purpose, with ap parent motive, of a small element of those who were disappointed in their efforts to defeat Hon. Joseph M. Brown for the nomination for Governor to at tempt to stand behind the white pri mary and “pot-shot” the nominee. They have oiled their blunderbusses and sharpened their dirks, and from their supposed camera obscurn they are sticking and blazing away, as they pre tend to believe, at the man whom 110,- 000 Georgia voters, in n white primary, in which more than 200,000 Georgians participated, have said they want for their next Governor. But they cannot hide their prejudice, their disappointment and their desire for revenge behind the shallow pre tense that they are still abiding the re sult of the white primary and standing faithful to the obligation which it im posed. This stabbing in the dark process not so much an attack upon the nom inee as it is an assault upon the white primary itself—an attempt at pulling down the only safeguard of white government and white suprema cy in Georgia. For the dark-lantern as sault upon the nominee is an invitation to voters to bolt the primary—to be come political apostates. It is, in ef fect, to say, “we’ve got to pretend to support the nominee; but you didn’t get what you want, therefore you are justified in bolting.” And this from those who have been talking loudest about white supremacy, when the white primary, now established and well recognized, is white supremacy sole security and mainstay. Yet. in pursuit of vengeful desire, they would hurl their shafts from ambush appar ently upon the nominee, but in reality through him against the very govern mental security for which they have so loudly and insistently contended. Is it not about time that they should quit bushwhacking and come out in the open? If they are intent upon the de struction of the white primary, it is at least worthy of a fair fight in an open field. Their defeat, assured in advunce, would then be without the sting or the stigma of the methods of the bush whacker. These covert enemies of the white primary should pursue one of two courses: Either give to the nominee—not nec essarily so much for his sake as for that of the people’s only safeguard— the support they obligated themselves to give by participation in the primary, Filed in office this Sept. 10, 1908.

Pleasant to take. Huffaker Drug Co. Bolt the primary and align them selves openly with the public enemy against that essential institution. There is no middle course! Bushwhacking has already given to enemies of the white primary more en couragement than could ever have come from open fighting in their behalf. There is no position but “for the white primary,” or “against the white primary.” Therefore, those who will fight it, should fight it in the open and let the people know Just where they stand. They will then at least escape the execration which they cannot hope to avoid if, while pretending to defend the fort, they persist in attempting to pull down the walls from within that the enemy may enter through the breach. It is gratftying that most of the newspapers in the State that vigorous ly fought the nominee are now earnest ly supporting him for the sake of the preservation and maintenance of that political institution which, of all oth era, the people can least afford to lose. It is because they realize that the safety and security of the white pri mary, rather than any temporary per sonal advantage or ambition, are at stake. It is a fight for an important, an ea sential principle. And its enemies will not be forgotten —least of all those who are seeking to undermine it while posing as its friends. _ The other night, when a Louisville man was putting his four-year-old daughter to bed, the following dialogue took place: "Can God hear what I say now? from the child. “Yes,” replied the father. This time in a whisper: “Did He hear then?” “Yea. He hears you just the same,” was the reply. This time apparently lower: “Did He hear me then?” “Why, yes, of course He does,” said the father. “Well, I did not say anythnig that time at all,” declared the child in triumph. Life’s Immutability. Years roll by, and we think we are living in an nge different from any that has preceded us. But how little does time chunge the lives of men and wo men, after all! True, inventions and discoveries vary our mode of living. We enjoy conven iences which people a few generations ugo did not dream of. We ride in palatial coaches and steamers and automobiles, when our an cestors got along with slow-moving ve hicles pulled by beasts of burden and laz.v-looking sailing craft. The tallow-dip furnished light a few years ago; we have only to turn a but ton and a flood of light a hundred times brighter is the result. But. beyond those material things, what little change there has been in human exist ence ! Centuries ago the boys and girls romped and played with one another. They loved and married and settled down to the same basis of life that we observe about us in the twentieth cen tury. The men took their places in the struggling ranks, and prospered and failed—reached the top and tumbled to the bottom. Generation succeeded generation. Each young man believed that his was the only era since the world began. Each young lady was firmly convinced that hers was the only generation worth considering. In literature, in art, in Bcience, in war, there were masters and captains. The mediocre fell into their allotted niche just as they fall into it to-day, and after time had shown them that they were not born to reach the high est rungs of success they patiently plodded their way to the end. Reflecting upon the immutability of life—the sameness of existence—we are prone to grow weary and, in com mon slang, exclaim. “What’s the use?” But life is what we choose to make it —happy like the existence of millions gone before us, or miserable like other millions who have returned to dust. And then that hope of a better land —a brighter life—that springs into the breast of every human being without reference to his religion or denomina tional belief! It is this germ of an immortal here after which perhaps inspires us to strive for a higher human existence, and which doubtless drives away thoughts of giving up in despair. Ten years ago an Allen county, Kan., farmer put his initials on a dollar bill. The next day he went to the rearest town and spent it with a merchant. Before the year was out he got the dol lar back. Four times in six years the dollar came back to him for produce, and three times he heard of it in the pockets of his neighbors. The last time he got it back was five years ago. He sent it to a mail-order house. He has never seen that dollar since, and never will. That dollar will never pay any more school or road tax for him— will never build nor brighten any of the homes of the community. He sent it entirely out of the circle of useful ness to himself and neighbors. Brown—“I say. Jones, can you tell me who was the greatest financier that ever lived?” Jones—“No, I can’t.” Brown—“Well, it was Noah.” Jones—"How do you make that out?” Brown —“Well, Noah was able to float a company when the whole world was in liquidation.” DECIDE YOURSELF.

Foster, living near North Jackson street, Newnan, Ga., says: “I would not take one hundred dollars for the good Doan’s Kidney Pills afforded me; in fact, I can say that they have made a new man out of me. Probably due to advanced age, my kidneys were badly out of order and caused such in tense pain through my loins that I could hardly get about. At night I was restless and unable to sleep and would arise in the morning tired and worn out. My general health was being gradually undermined and I was at a loss to know what to do. The kidney secretions were very scanty and quite frequent in action. When I procured Doan’s Kidney Pills at Lee Bros’, drug store, I hardly thought that they would help me, as I had used so many reme dies without any benefit. I soon changed my opinion of them, however, as I nad taken them only a short time when every symptom of ray trouble was banished. I am now in the best of health, considering my age, and only wish I could let every sufferer from kidney trouble know of the great value of Doan’s Kidney Pills.” For sale by all dealers.
