General Presentments.
We, the grand jurors for this,
the March term of the court, beg
to submit the following General
Presentments:
Through committees wo have ex
amined the books of all the coun
ty officers. The time allowed us
being so short, we could make only
slight examination. But such ex
amination as we were enabled to
make, indicates that the books are
all legibly and correctly kept, re
flecting credit on all the incum
bents and showing that the confi
dence of the people has not in any
instance been misplaced.
The dockets of the Justices and
Notaries have all been carefully
examined. The dockets show a
marked improvement over some
years ago. Whilo all the entries
were not correct, such errors were
pointed out.
We recommend the following
persons to fill vacancies now ex
isting and which will occur before
next term of this court: G. Legg,
550th District, G. M., to succeed
himself when his term expires. A.
L. Jacobs, 1295th District, G. M.,
to succeed J. R. Wilson, who has
removed out of the county. Jas.
M. Wilson, 1564th District, G. M.,
to succeed J. W. Freeman, re
moved from the county. Elijah
L. Anderson, 1578th District, G.
M. for new malitia district called
Garner. M. D. Corley, 544th Dis
trict, G. M., to succeed himself
when his commission expires in
July. T. T. Key, 406th District,
G. M., to succeed John W. Hay
nie, resigned.
All the reports were madetj our
body required by law. The re
ports of Sheriff and Clerk, not dis
closing that any public funds had
come into their hands, are not
hereto attached. But those of the
County School Commissioner,
Clerk of the Board of County Com
missioners, Tax Collector and
Treasurer, are all hereto attached
as exhibits “A,” “B,”*'C”and “D.”
, Our committee who examined
the School Commissioner’s books,
found that the entries and vouch
ers tallied to a cent. They report
that the $15,927.56 received from
the state and brought over from
1898, was paid out as follows:
To teachers of the 123
public schools patronized
in and out of county $15,284.86
To himself as salary 450.00
To members of the Board
as par diem 64.00
Paid as expenses of him
self and the Board 86.59
This leaves to be car
ried over 42.61
The salary of the Commissioner,
per diem of the Board and ex
penses of the office all amount to
only $600.59, which is only 3j per
cent, of the sum handled, showing
that this office is more cheaply ad
ministered than any other that
has anything to do with the pub
lic funds. This fact ought to re
down to the credit of Mr. W. T.
Tamier, who has so long superin
tended the public schools of the
county with credit to himself, to
the interest of the public and to
the reputation of the county.
We have filled the two vacancies
on the Board of Education by
electing A. M. Winn and B. L.
Patterson to succeed themselves.
The report of the Clerk of the
Board of County Commissioners
shows that for the last six months
orders of the Board on the Treas
urer had been approved aod paid
to the amount of $4,581.70.
Our committee that examined
the affairs of the County Commis
sioners’ office reported all the books
as being kept in splendid style.
Doubtless many will be astonished
at the amount of the Commission
ers’ orders on the county treasury
—51,882.52, of which was drawn
from the goueral county fund, the
two largest items of which are
DOES IT PAY TO BUY CHEAP?
A cheap remedy for coughs and
colds is ail right, but you want
something that will relieve and
cure the more severe and danger
ous results of throat and lung
troubles. W’hat shall you do? Go
to a warmer and more regular cli
mate? Yes, if possible. If not
possible for you, then in either
case take the only remedy that
has beeu introduced in all civilized
countries with success in severe
throat and lung troubles, “Bos
chee’s German Syrup.” It not
only heals and stimulates the tis
sues to destroy the germ disease,
but allays infiamation, causes easy
expectoration, gives a good night’s
rest, aud cures the patient. Try
one bottle.. Recommended many
years hy all druggists in the world.
Sample bottles at Bagwell’s Drug
Store, Lawreneeville; Smith and
i Harris, Suwanee: R. 0. Medlock,
I Norcross.
SSOO as attorney fees in the bridge
case and $895.18 for jail fees. The
next largest item is $1,568 26
drawn from the bridge fund.
While this may seem large, au un
usual amount of buildiug and re
pairing has had to be done, and
for the next six mouths a much
larger sum will have to be ex
pended, for the following large
bridges are being repaired or re
built: Sexton’s, on Stone Moun
tain road, on Yellow River. Johu
Williams’, Norcross road, on Yel
low River. Cruse’s, on Sweet Wa
ter. Moore’s, on Level Creek.
Baxter’s, on Suwauee. Medlock’s,
ou Crooked Creek. A. Williams’,
on Decatur road, ou Yellow Riv
er. And we recommend that the
Nash bridge, ou Yellow River, be
repaired as early as possible, as it
is reported to us as being in a very
dangerous condition.
The report of the Clerk of Com
missioners also discloses the fact
that the twelve inmates in the
poor house were maintained for six
months for $424.92, including sal
aries of keeper and physician,
which is $3.00 per month for each
inmate. And 51 persons are par
tially supported outside of the
poor house, at a cost of $527, which
is au average of $2.07 per month
for each.
Our committee reported the in
mates of the poor house well cared
for, and they highly commend the
services of Mr. Haslett, the keep
er, and his wife.
Special attention is called to
Tax Collector’s report hereto at
tached as “Exhibit C” and to re
port of Treasurer, marked “D,”
and invite a comparison of the
items. The Tax Collector’s re
port shows that the property of
the county pays taxes to the state
and county to the amount of
$38,025.53, less the insolvent list
allowed. The Treasurer’s report
shows now in the treasury
$10,451.12.
We recommend the terracing on
the poor house farm be finished.
While there has been less pros
ecutions for felonies before our
body than usual, yet there has
been an unusual number of charges
investigated for selling liquor.
All the reports that have reach
ed us, as well as our personal
knowledge, show that all the pub
lic roads of the county have been
worked and put in as good con
dition as the uuusual state of the
weather would allow, with two ex
ceptions, one ou the Winder and
Flowery Branch road, near Cedar
Creek, the other on the Hurricane
Shoal road betweeu the Flowery
Branch road aud road leading to
Jefferson —both in the disputed
territory between this county and
Jackson county. We are reliably
informed that neither of these
roads has been worked within the
last six years, because the road
hands in Gwinnett county claim
that the roads belong to
Jackßon couuty, and the road
hands of Jackson county claim
that they belong to Gwinnett.
But when it comes to citizenship
and paying taxes the parties living
in the disputed territory, which
extends for some miles between
the two counties, all claim Jack
son county. The same trouble
exists between Gwinnett and Hall
counties as to disputed line. We,
therefore, renew the recommenda
tion of the last Grand Jury, that
our Board of County Commission
ers have the linss between Gwin
nett aud Jackson and Gwinnett
and Hall relocated and marked
by a competent surveyor as soon
as possible. Then if these two
pieces of roads fall to Gwinnett,
have the proper road commission
ers to put them in order at once.
The court having instructed us
to report what were the items of
expense of the Superior court in
1899:
The committee on Treasurer’s
books report that the expenses of
the Superior court for March term
1899 was $1419 04, and September
term $1595.92, making a total for
the year of $3014.96. This is ex
clusive of the cost of bringing
prisoners to the county and main
taining prisoners in the jail, lights,
fuel, etc. An itemized statement
is attached as exhibit "E” to be
published.
The committee report the jail
in good condition, and the prison
ers well cared for aB to diet and
sanitary attention. They report
the roof of the court house need
ing repairs so as to stop leaks, and
that the condition of the water
closets in the court house by the
pungent odors thati perneate the
whole court room, appeal to tne
j authorities for early action in
remedying the defects.
Our body not understanding
LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 22.1000.
the intent of the game law adopt-
Jedbythe last Legislature, refer
the same to a future Grand Jury
for action.
The dog law not receiving the
vote of a majority of our body is

We desire to thank his honor
Judge R B. Russell for his cour
tesy to us, as well as for the rapid
manner in which he has tried aud
disposed of the civil and criminal
business before him, thus shorten
ing the time of court and saving
the taxes of the psople.
We also feel uuder obligations
to Col. C. H. Brand for his aid to
us in discharging our duties, and
commend him for his love of order
and law, for his vigor of prosecut
ing violators of the law, thus pre
serving good government. We
commend him as a man, as a cit
izen, as an officer, and invoke the
aid of all lovers of law and order
to aid in bringing about his re
election to the position of Solicitor
General for the Western Circuit.
We commend our bailiff, Mr. T.
C. Rutledge, for efficiency and
courtesy.
We recommend that these gen

Lawrenceville, Ga., March 6th,
1900. To the Honorable Foreman
and Gentlemen of the Grand Jury:
I herewith submit my report for
the previous year, to-wit:
This county has 84 white aud
20 colored schools, making 104.
Children from this county at
tended 19 schools in adjoining
counties, making a total of 123
schools; 6097 white children and
1038 colored entered these schools,
maxing a total of 7135. These
children made 359,004 days; this
shows that each child only at
tended on an average about 50
days. Should each child in the
couuty attend school 100 days,
the county would not be able to
pay exceeding cents per day
for each pupil in ‘actual attend
ance.
I received from the state, in
cluding balance in hand of 1898,
$15,927.56; paid out ou proper
vouchers, $15,884,95; leaving cash
iu baud, $42.61.
All of which is respectfully
submitted. W.T. Tanner,

I submit herewith my report,
showing amount of orders drawn

QUESTION ANSWERED.
Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers
and grandmothers never thought
of using anything else for Indiges
tion or Billiousness. Doctors were
scarce, aud they seldsm heard of
Appendecitis, Nervous Prostration
or Heart Failure, etc. They used
August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation of j
undigested food, regulate the ac
tion of the liver, stimulate the
nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took
when feeling dull and bad with
headaches and other aches. You
only need a few doses of Green’s
August Flower, iu liquid form, to
make you satisfied there is noth
ing serious the matter with you.

Mr. J. E. Lilly, a prominent
citizen of Hannibal, Mo., lately
had a wonderful deliverance from
a frightful death. In telling of it
he says: “I was taken with Ty
phoid Fever, that run into Pneu
monia. My lungs became hard
ened. I waß so weak I couldn’t
even sit up in bed. Nothing help
ed me, I expected to soon die of
Consumption, when I heard of Dr.
King’s New Discovery. One bot
tle gave great relief. I continued
to use it, and now am well and
strong, 1 can’t say too much in its

Democratic: Prospects.
It is doubtful if the outlook has
been as good in a generatjon for
the election of x democratic pres
ident as at the present time. The
action of the republican party and
president on the Porto Rican tariff
and the Nicaraguan Canal treaty
have done more to encourage hope
in democratic success than any
thing else could possibly have
done. General Grant used to say
that the republicans could always
rely ou the democrats to commit
a fatal blunder before election
time, and it cannot be denied that
the democratic party has been
prolific in blunders; but it is
quite certain that the democrats
have the advantage in tactics thus
far in the present campaign. The
singular part of it is too that the
republicans have by their own ac
tion giveu the advantage.
President McKinley’s conduct
iu urging a tariff duty on imports
from Porto Rico puzzles the brain
of those who seek to understand
it The Era is reluctant to be
lieve that Mr McKinley is the ab
solute tool and puppet of the
Sugar barous and other million
aries. Notwithstanding bis known
adherence to the theory of a pro
tective tariff, he has given many
regJU s for the belief that he is a
Jt<) aud honest man. His
however, in this particu
lar matter seems utterly irrecon-
in all grades of this number.

At tho opening of Congress the
president called attention to the
fact that our taking Porto Rico
had so far been a distinct disad
vantage to that island ; that for
merly the markets of Spain and
Cuba had been open freely to her
output; that now these markets
wore protected by tariffs against
Porto Rico and ours not, opened
and concluded in these words:
Our plain duty is to abolish
customs tariffs between the
United States and Porto Rico
and give her products free
access to our markets.
That the president should with
in less than three months not only
consent at the dictation of pro
tected interests to stultify him
self by favoring a protective tariff
against Porto Rico, but should
actually use all the power of his
office to force such a measure
through Congress, and in the face
of such language, seems incredible.
In the absence of explanation it
looks as though he were the bought
and paid for slave of an unscrup
ulous and shameless plutocracy.
The people of America will not be
willing to see this outrage wrought.
It is too bare faced.
The Nicaragua Canal treaty will
prove equally unsatisfactory.

It is very hard to stand idly by
and see our dear ones suffer while
awaiting the arrival of the doctor.
An Albany, N. Y., dairyman called
at a drug store there for a doctor
to come and see his child, then
very sick with croup. Not finding
the deotor in, he left word for him
to come at once on his return. He
also bought a bottle of Chamber
lain’s Cough Remedy, which he
hopsd would give some relief until
the doctor should arrive. In a
few hours he returned, saying the
doctor need not come, as the child
was much better. The druggist,
Mr. Otto Scholz, says the famiiy
has since recommended Chamber
lain’s Cough Remedy to their
neighbors and friends until he has
a constant demand for it from
that part of the country. For

Neverthless there will be an in
stinctive idea arise in all patriot
ic minds that if the United States
builds the canal at all she must
control it absolutely without con
dition, and what is more, must
fortify it in peace and hold it in
war against all the world.
We ought never to surrender
that right, and the people of this
country never will consent to do so.
The party that forces any agree
ment to the contrary on the Amer
ican people will learn to its cost
that the people are not going to
willingly give up the right to de
fend the canal any more than tho
right to build it. Indeed they
would rather not build it than
build it with any promise that
prevents their holding it absolute
ly without the leave or license of
any nation on this earth.—D>
