J C. McKNTIRK.
Representative Keifer, of
Onio, introduced a bill in con
gress last Monday, to reduce
the number of representatives
in the south. * '
Murray county could ‘ take
care of several htindied good,
honest farm laborers. There
has never been a time when
labor was so scarce.
The spring poet has just
been bubbling over for the
last several weeks, but the
last two or three days is liable
to cool him off to some extent.
If the cold weather, and
other things that might hap¬
pen, don't destroy the peach
crop this year, Murray- coun¬
ty will harvest her first crop
of Elbertas. Of course we
have had fine peaches all the
time, but there are several
thousand trees around Spring
Place which were planted for
their commercial value and
this is their first crop.
It is real funny to note how
certain papers in the seventh
c.istrict are crying “boss” at
Judge Fite. If any candidate
ever had to fight the bosses
“Gloomy Gus” is the man,
lie is fighting the machine
and the machine gang, and
his hope of success lies in
breaking the combination and
beating the men who think
they boss .—Cartersville
News.
Some’ of our newspaper
brethren insist that Judge Fite
should have gone to Dalton
to prosecute the editor of the
Argus for libel. Why so?
It was the Bartow court that
was assailed. It was a Bar¬
tow transaction that was crit¬
icised. The witnesses are
Bartow people. This is the
natural and proper place for
the investigation. The Dal¬
ton editor will get justice at
the hands of a Bartow jury.
—Cartersville News.
A bill will be passed reduc¬
ing the number of representa¬
tives in eleven southern states
from ninety-eight to sixty-one
When this is done, the south
ern states will be in the hands
of the northern republicans,
and they wall run us to suit
themselves. This bill has
been the* introduced to balance
with disfranchisement
the negro, of which there
so much talk. And still there
are men (Hoke Smith for
instance) who are going up
anc down the world, preach
ino ing to to the tne people neoole inai that this inis is is
the tne onlv only sai salvation auo for the
so u P J

atives are

world can’t help it.
PRESENTMENTS
0T GRAND JURY
As Read to Court at Close of
Session
Wc, the grand jurors, chosen
and sworn for the February term
1906, of Murray Co. Superior
court, respectfully ask to
the following presentments:
We, through our various com
mittees have examined all the
books of the various officers of
the county.
First oil examining the Ordi¬
nary’s, Clerk’s, Tax Receiver’s,
Tax Collector’s and Sheriff’s
books and the books of Board of
Roads and Revenue, we find them
neatly and correctly kept.
On examining the Treasurer’s
book, we find road funds as fol¬
lows :
Amount collected in 1904 and
not spent in 1901 and now on
hand $536.67. Amount collected
for roads in 1905 $2024.18.
$2560.85 the total amount in the
h-jfnds pf the County Treasurer.
We find-tlyit the Treasurer has
received $8447.90, and paid fin
proper vouchers $575.41. $7872 49
the balance on hands. In bank
$7833.02. Cash $39.47.
Respect fully su brn itted,
J. M. Poag,
Committee J. W. Harris,
L. M‘. McOleskey.
We find upon examining the
book of the Tax Collector that
they are neatly and correctly
kept. We find that he has charge
of $7084.02. He holds treasure
receipt for $6,981,93. $99.69,
ami amount collected $5.76,
Amount on* hand $105.45.
Respectfully su bm it ted,
J. M. Poag,
Committee J. W. Harris,
L. M. McOleskey.
We find by coin mitt ee appoint¬
ed to examine the books of the
various Justice of the Peace and
Notary - Public correctly kept.
We also find that the Justice of
the Peace and Notary Public are
negligent in their duty of putting
the prosecutors in criminal cases
under bond for the maintainance
of the case. Feb. 23d, 1906.
Respectfully submitted,
J. M. Poag,
Committee M. W. Whittiraore,
L. M. McClester.
We, by the committee appoint¬
ed to examine the books of the
board of roads and revenue find
the books very neatly and cor¬
rectly kept, and find that there
lias been levied for county pur¬
poses $5060.44: levied for road
purposes $2024.18. Total amount
amount $7084.62.
Respectfully submitted,
J. M. Poag,
Committee J. W. Harris,
L. M. McOleskey,
We find on examining the Or¬
dinary’s book neatly and correct
ly kept.
We find the Clerk’s books of
Superior court up-to date and
very neatly kept.
We find through the committee
that visited the poor house
farm that the inmates are well
fed and cared for, and find the
farm in fair condition,
the fencing which is in need of
repairs.
We find the school commis¬
sioner’s books neatly and cor¬
rectly kept. We find that he
had on hand and received
the year 1905, $5924.90; Paid out
on proper voucher $5824.03.
Balance on hand $100.87.
We recommend that for meiu
hers of the County Board of Ed
ueation, D. E. Humphreys, J. W.
Austin and Dr. T. W. Colvard.
We M tUt O' i«l it in
somerepahing, that the floor
is worn <Wu'n and very uneven
ant.the ctae. e ogged and over
flows, causing a verj oirensne
smell, also that the front veranda
in very . bad condition, is
temng account of leaks . , . the
on , in
roof. The floor around the well
needs repairing to keep the rain

mg loose and appear to be dan¬
gerous to the occupants of the
room. We also find that a closet
is much needed arid we recom¬
mend that one be prepared
accessable to court house. We
recommend that it be locked and
opened for the use on public days.
Also we recommend that locks be
kept on the rooms of the court
house, and the sheriff keep the
house locked,
We further recommend that a
wire of proper height be placed
around the solicitor’s and clerk’s
stands, so as to keep the public
from crowding upon them during
business hours.
We again recommend that the
floor of the court room be so
elevated from the front to the
rear, so that the ones in the rear
may see without getting on the
benches or standing up. We find
leaks in the court house room
and recommend they be repaired
at once, also that the courthouse
be kept clean, and each office, be
kept in proper shape.
We recommend K. A. Earnest
for notary public for the 101*1
district.
We find the roads generally
bad, but we recognize that we
have had much rain and also that
much hauling has been done nv«r
the roads, and no work could be
done. But we recommend the
road money be used and not re¬
main in the hands of the treas¬
urer. We find hands demand one
dollar per day, and road commis¬
sioners are ruling only 75 cents.
We recommend that hands be
allowed the average wages and
be worked the hours worked
at the prices of day laborers.
We find on the Pike road across
the mountain about 5 or 7 miles,
on which no labors nor money is
used,
We therefore recommend that
hands and money lie used on this
part of our county roads. We
recommend that the treasurer
or the proper officers collect the
rents due from room rents of tnfe
court house and kept so as to
show items of revenue Abo
that the gate of the fence around
court house be repaired and the
court house yard be grassed, and
stock to be kept out of yard.
We further recommend that
these presentments and reccorn
mendations he published in the
county paper.
We, tne grand jurors tender
our thanks to the Hon. A. W.
Fite, Judge, and Hon. Sam P.
Maddox for the able way in
which they dispatched business
and the courtesies shown this
body. We also tender our thanks
to our bailin’, Robert Hill for dis¬
charging of his duties as an offi¬
cer. We also tender our thanks
to the sheriff and clerk for their
duties rendered this body.
T. J. Peeples, Foreman.
Alivn Jones, Secretary.
Ordered that the general pre¬
sentments be received and en
tered of record and that the same
he published as recommended.
Done in open court February
24th, 1906.
A IW. Fite, J. S. C. C. C.
I, G. H. Arrowood, Clerk Su¬
perior Court, Murray County, do
certify that the above and fore¬
going is a true and correct copy
as it appears of record of this
office. This Feb. 27th, 1906.

stoves and sewing machines.

We submi* a few testimonials from some of the BBS I FARM¬
ERS in North Georgia. Swift’s Fertilizers PLEASED THEM and will
PLEASE YOU. It PAYED THEM and will PAY YOU.
To Whom it may Concern: used Swut
I raised the first oale of cotton sold in Da’bom I s
Fertilizers. My cotton never grew i •r. It did well fr<»m the
start, had a good stand and it was uniform in size, Swift's is the
fertilizer for me. L. Woods.
Spring Place, Ga. Js?o.
To Whom it may Concern: containing . .
This is to certify that I planted a piee<- of ground that 1 know'
four acres, in cotton. There is no difference in ground one-half two
of.. I used Swift’s Field and Farm Fertilizer on w
acres, and on this part of the patch the stalk was from 15 to 18
indies taller than the stalk on other part on which I did not use
any fertilizer. The part I fertilized matured at least two weeks
earlier than the other half, made at least 25 per cent more cotton,
that sampled better and seemed to be heavier.
Swift’s Fertilizers gave rne the best results of any fertilizer I
ever used. I expect to use them altogether in the future.
Cedar Ridge, Ga. W. B. Caudell.
Year before last I used a cheap off brand of Guano on five acres
if ground and made four bales of cotton. I did not think it paid
ne because of the field I did not fertilize and l could not see any
liiference between the stalks or the number of bolls of cotton on
lie part 1 fertilized and the part 1 did not fertilize, but last year
i used Swift’s High Grade Fertilizer and-made five bales on same
ive acres with same labor.
In the future 1 mean to use only Swift’s High Grade Guano.

To W hom It May Condern :
This is to certify that I bought Swift’s Fertilizer! rom McWill
atns Bros, in the spring of 1905. I do not hesitate to say that
iiey are the best fertilizers I ever used. I never expect to use
uiy other guano or acids when I can get Swift’s.

Don’t buy fertilizers from any man because you like hiip.
Remember your year’s labor depends largely upon the fertilizer
you use. Buy the BEST. The official analysis of the State Chem¬
ist of Georgia shows that many of Swift’s brands run higher than
the manufacturers claim. You run no risk whatever in buying
Swift’s Fertilizers. Hon. Harvie Jordan and the Southern Cotton
Association says, “cut the acreage but increase your fertilizers.”
