(Continued from Preceding Page.)
to the fullest, the depositors who, nec
essarily have to rely on the directors for
their protection, end desiring to place
around such depositors every safe
guard of which we are capable, we rec
ommend that the respresentatives of our
county introduce a bill at the next term
of our legislature, placing upon the di
rectors of banking institutions a greater
responsibility and liability, making it a
volation of law for their negligent fail
ure to kn*>w at all times the true condi
tion of the affairs of the bank of which
they may be directors.
Second—We confirm the attached
budget of the County Board of Commis
sioners— $182,300 —and a tax levy to
cover for the ensuing year.
Third —The legislature having recently
enacted several laws amending and
ameliorating the Penal Code of the
State —of wheih laws we most heartily
approve—now. therefore, in pursuance of
the charge of the court on this subject
we respectfully recommend to His Hon
er. Judge Henry C. Hammond, the ap
pointment of a probation officer as pro
vided for under the new law.
Fourth—We recommend that the of
fices of the law use due diligence to
break up the practice of receiving and
buying stolen goods.
Fifth—We recommend that the officers
of the law use due diligence to break
up the practice of carrying pistols with
out a license, as this grand jury thinks
this practice is a growing evil as evi
denced by the many cases of the kind
brought before them.
Sixth—"We recommend that the pay of
grand jurors, petit jurors and bailiffs of
the Superior and City Courts be $2.00
per diem.
Seventh —We recommend that the in
solvent costs of A. L. Franklin, sol'ci

approved bv the presiding judge.
Egihth—We recommend that the pre
sentments be published in The Augusta
Herald and in the Augusta Chron’fcle at
a cost not to exceed $75.00 for each
paper.
Resolutions.
We call upon the authorities in power
to make most diligent and< earnest ef
fort to rid this county of all forms df
lawlessness—especially the violation of
the laws against gambling and the sale
of intoxicating liquors.
We commend tlie economical and ef
ficient work of the County Board of
Commissioners.
We recommend that the pay of all
Court officials l?e placed upon a salary
basis. We feel that there is a steadily
increasing sentiment that the present
fee system 1s out of date and should be
abolished, and a copy of this resolution
he sent to each of our legislators.
We recommend that the present Road
Tax Law be amended so as to include
all residtnts of the Rural Districts of the
county who have no visible property,
and in default of such payment delin
quents be forced to work one day upon
the county roads.
We beg to thank His Honor, Judge
Henry C. Hammond. for his able
charge; the Solicitor, Hon. A. L. Frank
lin. for his uniform courtesy and' ef
ficient service and to our bailiff, Mr.
Pat Britton, for his kind attention.

(COMMUNICATED)
To the Voters and Taxpayers of Richmond Gnunty
For something over four years I have served the people of this coun
ty as a member of the Board of County Commissioners. Sixteen months
of that time I have acted as Chairman, and, in all these years, I have
endeavored to do my part in the conduct of the affairs of the County upon
a businets basis and without political or factional bias. I know ills:
during my administration as Chairman, the interests of the county have
been subserved and economy has been practised and that, absolutely
there has been no politics in any action of the Board.
The results are shown in the improved physical and financial condi
tion of the county. The publiqjdebt has been decreased more than $45,-
000.00 and every department kept up to standard. Continued progress and.
I think I may say, marked improvement have been made on the roads.
A number of reinforced nteel concrete bridges are projected for this year
thus bringing our highways up to the very highest standard.
I will stake my business reputation that, if re-elected and retained as
chairman, in two more years we will get the county entirely out of debt,
give the county a progressive administration and, at the end of that time,
reduce taxes from 57 cents to 40 cents a hundred.
I have seen no criticism of our administration of county affairs
Then why is the opposition to my re-election so fierce and whv am I be
ing singled-out for an entirely unneces ary and wholly unprovoked politi
cal fight.
X am thoroughly familiar with the affairs of the county, know where
economics can be practiced and ought to be made, and I have a laudable
ambition to carry out policies which I believe will inure to the benefit of
all the people; and when that is done I shall be more than willing tc
retire.
I appeal to the taxpayers and to the thoughtful people of this county
to uphold my hands and let me continue the work in which I am earnest
ly engaged. Respectfully,
Augusta, Ga., April fO. <3 jj NIXON.

“ Too Old at 30 ” is Unhappy Lot of the
British Barmaid—Are 22,000 of Them.
Few Men Found Behind in Occupation
London —" Too old at thirty," is the
unhappy lot of the British barmaid
described in a report by Mrs. Bernard
Drake of an inquiry made by the Do
man's Industrial Council.
Barmaids are a British institution.
Very few men -are found behind the
bars in the saloons throughout the
United Kingdom, except proprietors.
There are 22,000 barmaids in England
alone. Frequent crusades have been
started with the purpose of eliminat
ing women, and particularly girls,
from this vocation but nothing lasting
has been accomplished. One reason is
that the saloon is the working mans
club, and he prefers those places
where he can gossip with the girls. On
the whole the influence of barmaids is
to raise the atmosphere of saloons,
but the influence of the saloons upon
the women is considered bad.
“The barmaid soon grows old,” says
the report. “Sometimes she is old at
25; she is generally too old at thirty."
Her chances of marriage are small un
less she marries the barman or the
manager, and almost the only recourse
left to her is the streets. The number
of women on the London streets who
have once been barmaids is out of all
proportion to the total numbers in the
trade.
Mrs. Drake writes sympathetically
of the women behind the bars. She
says:
“The barmaid is cheaper than the
barman. She is more industrious,
more sober, more amenable to the
wishes of her employer, less rebellious
against the hard conditions of public
house life.
“There are women, women of fine
character, who earn in the bar a de
cent and respectable living, and are
not unhappy. There is even a woman
of robust health und temperament,
finds in the public-house a certain vo
cation. The bar is to other women
immediate ruin.
“But all these are exceptions. The
barmaid who is of the majority, al
though she loses nothing of self-re
spect, yet continues at her post only in
weariness and loathing, and with a
great fear" in her heart of that which
the future is to bring."
Wages for barmaids are no more
than domestic servants command in
the United States and the average
working day is fourteen hours. In
houses patronized by workingmen the
average pay is $2.50 to $3.00 a week:
in hotels it may rise to $3.50, and for
a head barmaid to $4.50 or even $5.00.
Board and lodging are always furnish
ed but the girls are expected to dress
well.
The barmaid, according to Mrs.
Drake, belongs to the type of normal
and average working girl, industrious
sober and honest, although she is to
be distinguished from her sisters by a
greater measure of the love of youth
for adventure. She seldom adopts the
career as the result of a false step.
The working man seldom loses his re
spect for the barmaid as a woman
worker; it is reserved for the man
about town to be without all sense of
honor or chivalry to women. Young
and pretty girls arc deliberately chos
en for the West End Saloons which
are the resorts of dissolute men and
fallen women, because the inexperien
ced girls attract the men. They are
given no protection by their employ
ers.
Two great evils of the present sa
loon system are pointed out by the re
port. One is the long hours affecting
the health of both men and women
and leading to excessive drinking. The
other is the exploitation of young girls
which is responsible for their degrada
tion. One reform proposed is that no
girl under the age of 21 shall be em
ployed after eight o’clock, except on
the premises of her parent, and an
other is that the bar shall be a more
fit place for both men and women.
The Easter holiday scene on Hamp
stead Heath, where London factory
girls have their annual parade and
picnic, wan altogether changed this
year. The flaring and multifarious
petticoats which the East End girls
have flaunted each new season were
missing. Most of the East End belles
had taken up the new fashions and
their taste in dress seemed to bear
tribute to the college settlement work
ers of the poorer districts. In past
years the girls spent all their money
for gay petticoats, for rental of gor
geous plumes for their hats, and
great combs set with glass gems, with
which to ornament their top-heavy
pompadours. This year witnessed the
passing of most of these extravagan
ces. In the classes conducted by the
social settlement workers the girls
have been taught to dress their hair
gracefully and to dispense with the
brilliant combs.
Gets Skin Nice
And Clear
Put* Life into Muscles —Gives
Just the Slight Exhilaration
Needed for Health
Nature has supplied us with wonder
ful materials for the restoration of
health. It is from our own forests
that Georgia people have the best
medicine in the world. S. S. S., the
famous vegetable blood purifier, has
been a marvel for more than forty
years. And its action in overcoming
nil skin troubles and blood risings or
eruptions is easily explained.
The skin is but a network of flno
blood vessels. And it is perfectly natural
that any unhealthful influence In the
blood makes Its first appearance In
the skin. There is one ingredient tn
S. S. S. which peculiarly stimulates
cellular or glandular activity to select
from the blood or from this fine net
work of blood vessels in the skin,
those elements which it requires for
regeneration.
Thus pimples, boils, eczema, or any
other blood condition that attacks the
skin or seeks an outlet through the
skin, is met with the antidotal effect
of S. S. S.
This is why skin troubles vanish so
readily and why they do not return.
And In ridding the blood of impurities,
S. S. S. imparts a fine exhilaration to
the entire system and you feel fine.
S. 8. 8. Is prepared only by The Swift
Specific Co., G-9, Swift Bldg., Atlanta,

all drug stores. Get a bottle to-day
