It was a maxim with the diplomats of Ihc An cient Regiue that a sniff box was man’s allay In that work of 4 'concealinjf us thoughts” in which tally rand mainlined, the n-efo ness of speech chiefly consistert. But the man of rodav cares not to con ceal but rather to collect his thoughts, and his best allay is Chase & Sanborn’s beal Brand Coffee. It snarpens his wits, quickens his pen eption; and maKes him twice as clever. Many a man dates his popu larity in conversation from Ihe day he began using Brand coffee.

Tbe books ot the justioei of the peace in the various districts of the oounty, with twoexoeptlons, have been examlaed and fouod correct. Jnetloe T. W. Lamb of tbe ISB6 District re ports no oass and no book, while Jus tice Sapp, of tbe same District, failod to present bis books tor examination. Public Schools, We are pleased to report that onr city sobool* are In excellent condition, and are presided over by an efficient corps of teachers and an abl* and con* soienttous superintendent. In tbe publio sohools ofjth* city tba > white enrollment Is 510; oolorad 370 average atteodanoe 454 white*, and 297 | oolorad, Connty schools, white 60S, with an avarage attendance of 120 or a fraction lase than 65%, while that of the color ed enrollment is 1,009, with an average attendance of 700 or 70 par oent. We have to not*, [regretfully, that our rnral whit* sobool* are so very poorly attended,'thereby evlnolng seeming indifferanoe of the parents as to lha education of their children. Public Building* We find the Manefleld Street school building in very good condition, with tbe exception of a few leak* in the val ley* of the roof and in the gutter*. We find the water oloeete in very bad aad unsanitary oontfitlon, alao find the fenoes very muoh In need of repairs. After a thorough examination of the old academy, w* find that it ie badly In need of rapairi, and from ite unsani tary condition we would recommend that ite nee ae a school building be dis continued as soon as the recommenda tion found below ean be put into effect. The fenoe around this building ie also In need of repair*, We find tbe Itfeley reboot building needing the following repairs; The roof of the main building in very bad condition, needs shingling, tbe steps are unsafe, the underpinning ha* set tled until the wing Is about eight or ten Inohes lower at the north end thaD where it jaine the main building. This condition bae been brought about by the high wind* of recent storms blow ing the sand from around the pillar*, thus allowing the building to settle The fenca and water oiosets are in good condition. We find the jail In very good condit ion, with the excepMon of the lower flier, which is bed'* decayed. The oause, in our opinion, is due to the fill ing in of the yard, it having shut oat all ventilation from the floor timbers We find the court house in very good condition, and In need ot no re pairs in tbe near futnre. We respectfully nuke tbe following rsoommendatlonsThat a partition be placed In each of the aesembly halls of the Manstleld street sohool building, and that tbe furniture now in the old academy builJlng be piaoed therein. This arrangement will oomfortably house the teachers and pupils of the primary grades, who now have to oc cupy the old academy, Tnat a coat of ooal tar be put on roof and well sanded. This in our opinion, woold stop the present leak*, and that the wood work be given a ooat of peint. We would urge immediate and prompt attention be given the water closets at these buildings, ae the present condition of them renders them entirely inad-’quete to meet the demands made upon them, as several of them hsve bnt one or two hoppers to sooommodai* a hundred or more children ; also that the jantt >r be furoiehed, from time to time, a suf ficient amount of toilet paper to be need in said clouts Ws would recom mend that the oounty commissioners be requested, when ths oonviott oen be •pared from the work now in hand, that they have the stomps now in the oampus removed, and assist in repair ing the fenoes, aad that the mayor and aldermen be rrqnested to beve the front yard oleaned off and kept in • nett mtnoer. We would recommend that thetilsley •ebool building (the mein building) be reebingled at once, at tbe present reof is n<> protection at all from the rain, there being large places in the roof with nothing to keep out the rein, also that tbe plastering over head in this portion of tbe bnlldlng be torn off *n< wood ceiling patio; also that the! front step* be renewed and tbe wing of tbe building be loyeled up and pri> tent pillars renewed to make tbe build ing safe. It also needs a few vriodov glass, which would add greatly to th comfort of the rooms. We would recommsDl that tbe wood en fl ior In the tow r story of the jail be removed and a concrete fi >or put it in. We wju and further reccramend tbal if the eohool board has no funds avail able to immediately make these rnuct needed repairs on the sohool buildings, that a sum sufficient to ocver the ex. pense in-orred, be spp'oprl-tcd for salt purpose by ibs com nissionere of roads iv and revenue, Public Works and Convicts- We fl *d during the year 1901 then has bseu an avarage of 33>2 oouviou psr month on tbe ejai -gang; we also Hod that it has cost the county to main tain these conviota on the public works $1,966,00, an average of $149,00 per capita. There bts bseu ompleted fifteen mi es of road besides about nine months at work on tbe Brunswiok A Birming htm railroad. There ha* been raised on the county firm and gathered, 409 bushels of oorp, 350 bnsbols of potatoes •nd nine barrels of syrup. There Is now on the farm fire oonviots one of these net sent from the oamp siok; ht Is now convalescent end will soon be in condition to be sent beck to the camp. We find the building* and premise In a neat and orderly condition At the camp near Fletbraneb, we find twenty oonviots, out of this number there was one sick. found tbe oarup al quarters of conriois In a neat and oomforiabls condition, so far as It is piseiblt for the superintendent to make it so with tents. The oonvlcts ere getting plenty of wholesome and well oeoked food. The atook ie In good condition, two mules •nd one horse. The snperintendent of couviots has everything well in hand •nd systematically arranged, ae far as the movement of the convicts and ont- fit of tbe camp Is oonoerned, Public Roads, On the C irtwright road three bridg es need repair, some low places filled and the road will be In fair oonditiou. The Darien road is in very good con dition, with the exception of a few ■mall bridges, some boles and the B. & B. railroad crossing. The road from Evelyn to Sterling, as far as we oould judge bai not been worked in a long time; we could see no’blng later thaD the work done to clear tbe road of tim bar blown down by (ho last storm, The •hell road needs pa oniog, especially where the timber and wood oart* pm over it, From the end of tbe ahel road to Old Sterling • little repairing before tbe rain* begin would put It in very good order. The Clayhole road is now being giaded by the convicts, working from Old Sterling towards Everett City; some very nice work is being done on this roed, but owing to the limber earts passing over it, Borne of it is in bad condition, From Old Sterling to Jamaica the road it rery good: part of the flooring of teveral bridget it lo bad condition Tbt road to M uat pleattnt, known at the road to Wajne county, or Fitb-hole road, with lu tla Ailing aod repair! to two tmall bridge! would be lo very good condi tion, at far at tbt B A 8, railroad orottiog at Corrla’t lor tilde.
