Editor Times: The persistent zealous eilorts ol some of tho frieuds of some of the numerous candidates Tcht the office of ordinary are carried to such an extent in certain channels against Col B. J. Ivtker, as to work, we observe, the overthrow of their pets and build up iu the public ettecu: the latter’s—Ooi. Kiker’s—claimi. Aye, verily, the physic is working, and in such a way that some of the eandidales will find —too late—their prayer should have been, - •dtdiver uie from my frieuds.” The puerile, fiiois) ehuige tha: Go!. Ki ker manipulated the presentments of the Grand Jury of our last Coutt is simply and superbiy ridiculous, as well as an insult to that body of honorable gentlemeu over who e signs-manuai the startling document was presented to the public. Why shjuid Col Kiker be made the target for the terrible archery Inat ought to be aimed at the Grand Jury, it anybody is at fault? Did he not perform faithfully the duties he as sumed upou the simple request ot’ that body ? They say tie did. For have they not adopted as a part and parcel of their presentments the report, which it is said, was the result of his scrutiniz ing labor and investigation '( W : th the dignity of a court pape*' and the sattc tion of the Grand Jury it is before the public with the impress of 'ruth, as derivable from the best sourc s —the re coras—and cannot be successfully or satisfactorily attacked by any ex parte siateuienis, or the bold, reckless and des perate assertions of over zealous Lunds cf the candidates anxious lor Kiker’s defeat. No, no, the cause of all this is, it is pccieved by ail observing men, th. t Col. Kiker holds the trump card iu the game for the cilice of Ordi nary,and we would warn all now to look for. and bewaie of combinations,as they may and are likely to ue made simply ana solely ior his defeat. Already, some are adopting the following elec tioneering scheme to wit: “ Vote for any body to beat Kiker." Officers are the people’s servants arid their acts as such, subjects of criticism Let us see it some ot our present in„ cumbents of tho county officers are wholly innocent of the charge of neg ligence which they allege, is so flip pantly and unwarantably preferred against them,and at the instance of Col Kiker from selfish motives. Paragraph seven of section 553 code of 1873, says it is the duty oi the County Treasurer "on the second Monday in January, an nutily, to file with the- Ordina v y a full statement of Ins -account, accompanied ,b// h‘‘s vouchers Jut the preceding year together with hts estimu e for the in'* debteduess of the county for the ensu ing year, and the means of providing therefor,” and paragraph nine of same sec!ion gays it is htn duty "to publish at the door of the Coutt llouse, and in a public gazette, if there is one pub lished in the county ( a copy of his an nual statement to f he Ordinary.” Now M,. Editor, we beg to ask, have these piain requirements of the law been com plied with ? We have not inspected, but if these duties have been ignored, may we not reasonably infer, sustained by the Grand Jury Presentments, that other equally plain and imperative mandates of the law have been ignored ? If this negligence or failure to dis charge duty have been continued from year to year, whose fault is it ? The Treasurers? We think not, wholly For paragraph seven section 337 code 1873 says, " The Ordinary has oti o inal and exclusive jurisdiction in examining and auditing the accounts of all officers having the car , management, keeping, collection,or aisberseuient of money be-- longing to the county or appropriated for its use and benefit, and bringing them 'o settlement.” Is there net acre then dereliction trace.ble to the Ordi nary ? Who else have the people to lock for redress of wrongs but those to whom they have confined the trust of official position 7 Are they nut the rightful custodians of our interests ? Where else have we lodgment for our r : ghts? To whom shall we iu > k for protection ? Is official promotion to be the ioward ot’ oostiuuai negiigtoica ? Are we to endoise and ratily official in difference, because, ffirsootb, the aspi rants are or may be clever men 7 ihe c-isis is such as demands the vigilant act tot: and energetic work and direct ing, controlling genius of those most competent and of tnose from win in we have good reason to expect much in the way of retrenchment, that our over bur dened people may find relict and com - parative repose from the almost cver anoying tax gatherer. We believe Col. Kiker’s.ability and fitness commensu rate with the requirements of the times. We believe the people-on next Wednes day, with remarkable unanimity will ratify his faithfulness as a private citi* zen in the past by bestowing upon him more ample means for further official work in his elevation to the responsible office of Ordinary- We ear; assure him a rousiug majority from the invin cible " Sixth,” and are informed that our neighboring districts —tho 7 th, Fairmount and twcutyGouith will do likewise.

Mr. Editor: I understand (hit some circulars are being circulated to Glow that the Grand Jury ui-2 the County Treasurer injustice in their la.-t general prtseutments. 1 wil! say that if they did it was not intention*!. — 'i hey sough Cevery source of informa tion, taking the records of the differ ent pers ins or court authorized to draw orders upon the County Ireusu rer (all of whom are required by law to record their orders) and tb> r Jiuin g-t (lie amount for whicn ordets had bee>i Truth Conquers Ail Things.” drawn. The committee alsd got from the Treasurer all the vouchers that he had or that he would furnish them, in or del that they uiig-ht be able to get ful ly the amount paid our. then from the tax books they ascertained the amount that he had received, which gives 'he result as set out in the presentments. If the Treasurer has other vouchers he withheld them from the committee Gideon Bovd, Esq, is the member of the cooiuiittee who culkoi on him for vouchers, and who can tell any one the straight of it (See Mr. 1J yd - cer tificate.) I was not emph yod it an at toruey t.i the matter, but was r quested, not only by members cf the Grand Ju ry but by the county boawl and man) of the citizens to assist the committee. No fee was Ifered an 1 none was asked. It is true this labor might have been sav ed f the Ordinary had compelled the T reasurer to make his annual reports at and published them as required by !uv\. showing the ameunt received 'i he amount paid out, to whom paid, and on what account. Why don't the TressU/ rer make his settlement with the Ordi nary, or the report required by law and publish that 7 It would cost less and be moie explanatory. No, all this is ti prevent my election, if possible, be cause I know too ui ich about these matters. E. J K ker To the Volet s of Gordon County: I dislike to uppfear frequently before the public through the medium of’ the newspaper press, and would really pie fer investigatijus, reports aud comments from authorized tribunals than to be forced to review myself the evident in consistent and conflicting reports ot out county officials. Rut wink’ it is the duty and right of every cit zen it is a painful duty offered upon me in self-de fense to compare and expose iho incon sistencies of our County Treasurer's re port, as that officer has published his card, manifestly with the. intention oi duping the masses into opposition to my election. Mow, I call the attention of the vo ters of Gordon county to the following sworn statement of that officer made to the Grand J ury of ihe September term of our Court.

They are mi and, but et k ' operation, moving 1 Although gentle P in their operation, Ai most thorough and searching calhar- ! tie medicine that can be employed : cleans ing the stomach and bowels, and even the blood. In small doses of one pill a day, they stimulate the digestive organs and promote vigorous health. Ayer's Pills have been known for more than a quarter of a century, and have obtained a world-wide reputation lor their virtues. They correct diseased action in the several assimilative organs of the body, and are so composed that obstruc- i tions within their range can rarely with- j stand or evade them. Not only do they cure the every-day complaints of every- ; body, but also formidable and dangerous ; diseases that have baffled the best of j human skill. While they produce power ful effects, they are, at the same time, the ! safest and best physic for children. By I their aperient action they gripe much less than the common purgatives, and never give pain when the bowels are not inflamed. They reach the vital fountains of the blood, and strengthen the system by freeing it from the elements of weakness. Adapted to all ages and conditions in all climates, containing neither calomel nor any deleterious, drug, these Pills may be taken with safety by anybody. Their sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh, and makes them pleasant to take; while being purely vegetable, no harm can arise from their use in any quantity. prepared nr Dr. J. C.
