HHBfc MIM in III patch. September 30.1903. HHg^taand Jury's Presentment. Hmn OF SOUTH CAROLINA, County of Lexington. To the Grand Jury of said County and State for the year 1903: We, the undersigned, special committee of your body, appointed at the February term of Court last by you for the purpose of investigating the condition of the bonds of the various county officials and dispensers and the books kept by them, beg to make this, our report to you: Just previous to the last June term WUWVJ v * IIW4 U MUV* UJUVA ?MWV bWVJ KM* bave money on hand to meet their obligations, their books well kept, and their offices in a neat and clean condition. Just here were we wish to retqrn thanks to the connty officials for their hind and courteous manner extended to 08. We [find that tax returns in the Auditor's office accummulate very rapidly and have become to be in the way, and we suggest the grand jury as a body recommend that our representees pass an Act, if possible, allowing the County Auditor to destroy these returns after they become four years old, and the book made up from them be taken as the original tax returns. We further suggest the grand jary a3 a body recommend that the Solicitor insist, or if he can in any way aid us, in having the Magistrates of \ the oountv to make return to the ?r County Auditor of the fines and licenses collected by them, and that they trun over to the County Com' missioners of the County their books at least every quarter for their inspection. As to the management of the dispensary we will say that we have ex* amined the books kept by the County Board of Control of this county and find them in plain and neat conditioc, and jind them to be all right. We think Mr. R L. Eeisler is to be congratulated for his mode of managing the dispensary and its books, as well as the other members of the Board. " G. D. Hayes, H. L. Oswald, D. M. D afts, Special Committee. The State of South Carolina, County of Lexington, Sessions Court To The Hon. Frank B. Gary, Special Presiding Judge for the said Cou2<y and State for the September Term of Court, 1603: We, the Grand Jury for Lexing torCounty, beg leave to make the following report: At the last February term of Court we appointed George D. Hayes, D. M. Drafts, and H. L. Oswald, as our special committee to investigate the reliability of the various county officials, and also the financial condition of the various offices, etc. By their report hereto attached tfnd a part of this report they have performed this duty, with the assistance of their ex pert, T. (J. Sturkie, ana we reocmmend T. C. Sturkie be paid 820 00 for his services as expert. We find the county generally in a good, peaceable and moral condition, with the exception of some few cases which have been brought to our attention and which will be acted upon by the grand jury at the coming February term of Court, for indecent and immoral conduct and living. We have no special recommendations to make just now, except that we recommend the County Commissions urge upon some of the overseers of the different reads of the county to work them and put them in fairly good condition as soon as possible. We recommend that the Rspresen of Court, we examined the bonds of the various officials. We find some of the officers under personal bonds, while the others are under bonds issued by bonding companies. After a thorough investigation we thinkwe are safe in saying that the bonds of all the county officials are good and reliable. Just recently we have examined the financial statuts of the various Annnfc rfflnoro and find fViof fVloty oil tatives of our county pass aa Act, if possible, allowimg the County Auditor to destroy the tax returns after they become four years old and that the book made up from them be taken as original return?, as these returns are becoming in the way and filling up the space of the Auditor's office. "We further ask that the Solicitor assist us in requiring the Magistrates of the county to make report to the County Auditor of their fines and licenses collected, and that they submit to the County Commissioners at least quarterly their books for inspection, and that they submit to the grand jury their books at least every year for the same purpose of being examined. We find the county jail and the poor house in good condition. At the poor house we find everything in a nice and clean way with a good crop of corn and peas, &c., on the plaoe, with good hogs, chickens and other things necessary to make it a suitable place of living. We have passed upon ail the bills handed us by the Solicitor with our endorsements thereon. We d6sire to thank the Court and its officers for their courtesy extended to us since we first assembled. All of which is respectfully submitted. Geo. D. Hayes, Foreman. Bsafnoss Cannot to Cured By local applications, as they cannot reach the deceased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an irflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect bearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, bearing will be destoyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrb, wbicb is nothing but an inflamed condition of tbe mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrb) tbat can not be cured by Hall's Catarrb Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. Cbeney & Co., Props., Toledo, 0.

In Praise of Chamberlain's Colic Cholora and Diarrhoea Remedy. ' "Allow me to give you a few words in praise of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy," says Mr. John Hamlett, of Eagle Pass, Texas. "I suffered one week with bowel trouble "nd took all kinds of medicine without getting any relic*, when my friend, Mr. C. Johnson, a merchant here, advised me to take this remedy. After taking one dose I felt greatly relieved and when I had taken the third dose waB entirely cured. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting this great remedy in the hands of mankind."

Birmingham, Ala., September.? Internal Revenue Collactor Joseph 0. Thompson, who is one of President Roosevel's patronage appointees in Alabama, has just returned from Oyster Bay. He is responsible for the statement that the President is seriously considering the taking of trip to the south this month. He may speak in two or three cities each in Georgia and Alabama. It is said that he has been often tempted to visit the South again, but he was afraid that nis mission would be misunderstood by the people, who would think the trip was simply for vote getting. Abscess. W. H. Harrison, Cleveland, Miss., writes, Aug. 15, 1902: "I want to say a word of praise for Ballard's Snow Liniment. I stepped on a nail, which caused the cords in my leg to contract and an abscees to rise in my knee, and the doctor told me that I would have a stiff leg, so one day I went to J. F. Lord's drug store (who is now in Denver, Colo.) He recommended a bottle of Snow Liniment; I got a 50c size, and it cured my leg. It is the best liniment in the world. Abscesses, with few exceptions, are indicative of constipation or debility. They may, however, of constipation or debility. They may, however, result from blows or. from 'oreign bodies, introduced into the skin or flesh, such as splinters, thorns, etc. Snld hv THa Kanfmann Drnor f!n Cheap Bates Via the Southern Railway to Columbia on Acoouut State A. and M.
