Presentment of Grand Jury.
i (Continued from last week).
t It appears to the grand jury that 1
r "the sheriff of this connty i9 paid '
extra fees for the service of warrants
which should be served by the mag
istrate's constables. It will thas be
I -seen that in addition to salaries paid
rthe several constables in this connty,
1 the ooanty is also paying the extra
W fees to th^ sheriff in snch cases where
[ the sheriff serves warrants for the
I constables. We recommend that when
the sheriff serves warrants for conI
stables the fees for snch service be
I deducted from the salary of the conl
^stable in whose district snch warrant
r 38 served. Our careful examination
disclosed evidence of carelessness in
the matter of purchases, almost in
A ? rnUA?A a r\r\AQVOr1 f A
('?very aepartmeu l/? IIICIU apyccugu iv |
^e as many purchases as there are
officers, indicating a lack of a system
and regularity that may be expected
to be found in the administration of a
^public institution. We recommend
that each of the county officers who
heretofore purchased the necessary
-supplies for his respective office adept
-a budget system whereby a purchasing
committee will be authorized to buy,
upon the request of the individual
officers, all of the necessary goods
and supplies and we further recommend
that our representatives in the
state legislature have enacted at the
next session of the general assembly
*' * J -Pr\y o
(a law autnorizmg anu pruvimug iui ?
commission for the purpose of purchasing
ail supplies for the county and
the various county offices and officials.
We find that there is more vault
Toom needed in the court house for
the public records and that the vault
in the clerk's office is too small for
the clerk's record and we find that the
^ -supervisor, superintendent of education,
auditor and treasurer for their
books have little or no protection from
.fire. We also find that the clerk of (
m -court's office is entirely too small and
|? we ask that the proper officers take
this matter op at once, wirh the idea
-of ascertaining what can be done forwards
securing more vault room as
well as more office room to accommo- j
-date the county officers. (
Lexington county is very much in
need of a permanent warehouse for
the purpose of storing such property
^ as is new~owned by the county and for
the purpose of storing and keeping all *
goods, implements and property of :
whatever kind which may be par- j
chased by the county officers for the
purposea-and usee of said county. We
reoommoBdy therefore, that the county
^ supervisor investigate the o -unty's lot
of land in connection with the county
jail and ascertain whether or not it will
be possible and feasible to erect there^
on a warehoase or storage room for
I the purposes above named.
Acting under authority of law and
upon authority given us in the charge
of the Honorable Frank B. Gary, circuit
judge, presiding at the February
.tarn* of the court of general sessions
for this county we have employed the
;G-eoifce G. Scott & Company, public }
' accountants, to examine and check up
all of the books and accounts of the
4r various offioes of *he county covering
ra period of four vears. The said company
has fully and completely performed
this duty as will be shown by
the hereto attached audit report which
is hereby made a part of this, our final
presentment, for the year and to which
Teference is prayed. From this report
we have discovered certain minor
irregularities which we believe to be
due to clerical errors. We are glad to
report that as a whole the books and
records ot the various offices are well *
[kept, excluding the matters herein c
above referred to.
It appearing that our county has
sustained a serious financial loss by
having money deposited in the bank
|L without bond to secure the safety of
such fnnds we therefore recommend 4
that if there is now no law for reI
quiring banks or repositories with ^
ft which the county's funds are deposited |
I to give bond; that the law shall be >
amended or a new law enacted where- ^
by the various county officials may
L demand and require that banks or ^
t?_ persons with whom public funds are
deposited shall give good and sufficient \
|ft hmd to secure same.
We again call attention to the fact ^
^ otf/wnorc an/?
( Bb tut) UlBglOUavcO) avwuicjo ?uu
other court officials seem to briDg to i
i the court entirely ft many witnesses, *
P which entail heayy expenses upon the '
J* county. i
We also recommend and urge the
^ court, the attorneys and other court ^
i officials to see to it that a lest number
-of cases are continued from term to "
term when the same can be disposed |
of with much less coat to the *
county. Our information is that nam- I
bers of cases in which scores of witnesses
are summoned are continued ^
from one term of court to another,
sometimes as many as four or five ^
different times. Each time such cases |
are Continued the county is put to *
useless cost and expense, we therefore, | ^
repeat our recommendatioa that such j _
practice be remedied and that con- ^
tinuances be had only when the ends
of justice may be thereby best served. j
A committee from our body -eoosistiug
of Messrs. George Mf. Levr&r
W. T. Roof and J. E. Lowman hare j yi
eisited the county chaingang and i ||l
report the gang: in good condition and j
doing much good and permanent work
on the public highways of the county.
This committee reports with pleasare
that- the new road machine recently i
purchased by the county is doing good ! Afl
work and highly satisfactory. I
For the services of the George G.
Scott & Company, for the work for
which they have done upon the order
of a committee from cur body, the
county is due the said company the ^
sum of $561.65 as shown by the hereto j
attached statement of account. We j
respectfully ask that the George G. ! ^
Scott & Company be piid the sum of I
$561.65 les9 $66.37, which sum of $66 37 j
we ask be paid to Mrs. Minnie Meetze, j jn r
proprietress of ihe Meetze hotel, in j ^
accordance with an agreement between , me]
the committee from the grand jury ; soo
with the George G. Scot: & Company, I ^al
whereby the board bill of the rep-c- j J fa
sentatives or the said George G. So .tt and
& Company should be paid by the A
county and deducted from the amount j Car
due said company. j mei
We further recommend and ask that dos
T. C. Callison, E?q . be p-;id the su n i can
of $50 for services rendered the county j tirii
andgraud jury as legal adviser and | I'
assisting the grand jliry- in its wo^k j
for the year 1913. I mo
We desire to express to His Honor, ! yea
the presiding judge and other court j
officials nnr full anoreciation of the j ;t ,
consideration, favors and courtesies j niei
shown us during the present t^rm of !

Matron, Ky.?In an interesting letter seleci
n this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock chine
tes as follows: "I suffered for four

; time, I could only sit up for a little
ile, and could not walk anywhere a!
At times, I would have severe pains ?
ny left side.
'he doctor was called in, and his treatit
relieved me for a while, but I was
n confined to my bed again. After
t, nothing seemed to do me any good;
id gotten so weak I could not stand,

A last, my husband got me a bottle of
dui, the woman's tonic, and I com- ?
iced taking it. From the very first
e, I could tell it was helping me. I
now walk two miles without its
lg me, and am doing my work."
f you are all run down from womanly
ibles, don't give up in despair. Try
dui, the woman's tonic. It has helped
re than a million women, in its 50
xs of wonderful success, and should
ely help you, too. Your druggist has

vill do. Ask him. He will recomid
it. Begin taking Cardui today.
