NO. 51 We wish to announce that we have just completed one of the finest and most up-to-date gin neries in the South, and are better prepared than ever to give you the very best of service. All of our gins were made to special order under the direction of an expert, and this places us in a position to guarantee a perfect sample. Our present capacity of 150 bales per day, and with two of the best ginners in Coweta county as operators, does away with all the crowding and waiting. We have ample shelter to suit all kinds of weather. In fact, everything is arranged for your convenience. It is not necessary for you to get off your wagon. You have your cotton ginned, get your bale, and receive pay for the seed without making a turn or cross up with other wagons on the yard. The seed arrangement that we have installed gives absolute, accurate weight on allseed ginned. It would be a treat to anyone to see just how smooth and easy every bale of cotton is handled. SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT » ONE PRICE TO ALL.

Freeman, Judge Superior Court of Coweta county: We, the grand jury, empanneled and sworn to serve for the September term, 1914, beg to make the following present ments: Through our committees we have ex amined the books of all the county offi cers, and find them neatly, and, we think, correctly kept. We believe the pension list to be all right. We find an increase in the tax returns of $1,0:40,000. We find that $3,152.50 special tax has been collected for the year 1914. Since the meeting of the last grand jury $3,- 350.41 general tax has been collected. We give statement of Treasurer’s re port: GENERAL FUND. Balance Mar. 1. 1U14.

J. 1914 207 11 Total. 97,432 M So far as cur investigation has gone, the dockets for the N. P.’s and J. P.’s are properly kept. We find the public buildings in good condition. Through our committee we inspected the convict camp. We find 04 prisoners, 1 superintendent, 3 guards, 1 free la borer, 30 mules, and complete equip ment. The camp is in good sanitary condition. The average cost of main taining the camp for the last eight months is $2,100 per month. We find where the convicts are now at work that they have one mile ef road com plete, and about one mile laid out and partly graded. They have been on thiB job about three months, hence we de duct that this road is costing about $4,000 per mile during the good weath er, and that this will be increased 25 to 50 per cent, in the winter season. Our committee also visited the Coun ty Farm, and we find 29 inmates—16 whites, (3 males andT3 females,) and 13 colored, (7 males and 6 females.) The average expense per month for the farm is $2%. Our committee reports that the Coun ty Surveyor does a lot of work on his records for which he gets no compensa tion. We respectfully submit this to our County Commissioners for their consideration. Our public roarlB. This brings us to a well-worn subject. The complaint comes from all over the county that the roads need repairing. The complaint prevails that most of the time and money is spent in building roads, to the exclu sion of keeping in repair those already built. We recommend and earnestly urge the County Commissioners to dis continue the building of this 36-foot au tomobile highway through the county upon which they are now engaged at such an enormous cost, until the main market roads of the county are put in good condition. We recommend that the books of all county officers be audited every two years. We recommend that the Board of County Commissioners build at a mod erate- coat a small house of worship at the County Farm. We recommend that the Sunday laws be rigidly enforced. We recommend that the jurors and bailiffs be paid $2 per day for the ensu ing year. We recommend that the County Com missioners publish monthly, and by dis tricts, in the paper carrying the county legal advertising, an itemized statement of money spent on public roads. In view of the financial stringency, we recommend and urge that the Coun ty Commissioners exercise the same economy in the administration of the county’s affairs that individuals are compelled to exercise in their own mat ters. We desire to thank Hie Honor, Judge Freeman, for his very able and com prehensive charge to this body. We also appreciate the assistance of Solicitor-General Terrell, and thank him for the same. We recommend that these present ments be published in The Herald and Advertiser, The Newnan News and Se- noia Enterprise-Gazette, and that they be paid $10 each for the same. William B.

When your liver becomes torpid and sluggish, you can take calomel and whip it into action, but the calomel will leave your body weaker and sicker than ever. Calomel is a very powerful drug, a form of mercury, and need never be used, because there is a perfect remedy to take the place of calomel that has all of calomel’s good medicinal effects with none of its dangerous and uncer tain follow-ups. Its name is Dodson's Liver Tone. John R. Cates Drug Co. sells Dod son’s Liver Tone with the guarantee that if you don't find that it treats you much better than calomel, they will give you back your money with a smile. Dodson's Liver Tone is a true tonic for the liver, purely vegetable, and with such a pleasant taste that it is no trou ble to get children to take it. It is ab solutely impossible for it to do anyone any harm. Georgians Remember Sherman. IJainbridirc Searchlight. Says the New York Sun about the practice of the Germans dropping ex plosives from airships into Belgian and French cities: “If General Sherman were alive be would have to apologize to hell. He was unjust to that amiable region. The war of hiB time was but an innocent, harmless killing game. To murder wantonly and futilely, to slay or man gle little children and young mothers in their beds, to salute the Red Cross flag with a bomb, to slaughter and terrorize non-combatants, random destruction with no permanent result except to sicken and anger all civilized mankind, this is war as practiced on a city from Zeppelin airships.” Yet, if history knows what it is talk ing about, this same Sherman was not adverse to making war on the “little children and young mothers in their beds.” His trail to the sea was a mas terpiece of butchery, vandalism and carnage. Perhaps if Mr. Sherman had had a few airships of his own he would in those other days have more complete ly devastated the lands through which he traveled just because his idea of war was hell. A Washingtonian, who was touring the Shenandoah Valley, stopped his motor-car in the road one day and asked an aged negro, who was pain fully proceeding in the opposite direc tion, whether he knew where Mr. Simpkins lived. “Yessuh,” was the reply. “He live heah in de valley.” “Do you know where his house is?” ■ JThe aged negro chuckled. “ 'Deed I do, boss,” he said. “I only wish I had as many dollahs as I knows where dat house is.” Hydrophobia is much more prevalent among male dogs than among female, 100 of the former going mad as com pared with 14 of the latter. Whenever You Need a Qeneral Tonic Take Grove's The Old Standard Grove’s Tasteless ohill Tonic is equally valuable as a General Tonic because it contains the well known tonic propertiesof QUININE and IRON. It acts on the Liver, Drives out Malaria, Enriches the Blood ami Builds up the Whole System. 50 cents. —
