We have passed on all the bills handed to us by the solicitor except three, and have rendered such findings thereon aB in our judgment the facts justified; the three bills not passed upon were returned to solicitor at' his request. 2nd.

We have made as thorough examination as practicable Within three days allowed by law. 2nd. Wo have examined all the puclic offices of tho county and so for as our examination went the books seemed to be kept in a buni-* ness-liko manner and the officers soem to bo doing their duty. 3rd. We have carefully chocked the books of the county dispenser, the Clerk of Court and the County Supervisor with those of the County Treasurer, and we find the Treasurer to lie properly charged with all monies coming to | his hands from these officers. tiu. we una mat tne Uounty Superintendent of Education has in his oflioe several charts which nro new and supposed to have been left there by some agents or publishers. These charts have boen in his ollicc for several years, and the Superir.tondont has made dili? gent search to find their owner, but has been unable to do bo, and we recommend that the County Supervioor be authorized and di* rected to sell these charts for storage and turn the money into the general county fund. 5th. Wo roport tho outstanding debts of the county at this time to be us follows, to-wit: Sinking fund note (interest paid to May, 1901.) $15,716.26 Aaron ftoggs note (int. paid to Jan. 15, 1904) 2,000.00 Aaron Hoggs note (int. paid to Jan. 15, 1904.) 2,000.00 A nrnn Il/iwnii unta /;? ? paid to Jan. 15, 100$.) 3,573 09 It.

Wo have examined the nublic buildings of the county and report that for sanitary reasons a well should be dug; at the Couuty I Jail 011 the North aide of that jail JaB we are fearful that the present ' well has been the cause of some ol the fever heretofore existing in the jailor's family and we believe that a well on the North side whore it will be free from drainage and trom contamination with the sewerage system will afford an abundance of pure water. We note also that there are some leaks in the roof of the jail which wo recommend be mended as tpeedily as nnaaihlfl 7th. Iu thin examination wo have called /n"*" o < -*< *-? ?"? T.?.* M. " thrc men 1 J: J put tha encd upon, ami I cuu candidates for that honorable position to perform that service. First, an amendment to the constitution to have biennial sessions J * - lumtmu UI HUHUHl B8BB10D8 Ot tQe legislature, is to be voted on at the general election in November. This is an important matter and concerns every taxpayer in the State, and if adopted will Bave at least $50,000 evfry other year. This matter should Ik; explaiued and the people fully informed so thai they may kijow how to vote intelligently. Another amendment proposed to the constitution is to give the legislature the right to enact "local or special laws concerning tht laying ortt, opening, altering 01 working roads or highways, and concerning the providing for the ago at Which citizous should be subject to road duty, and concerning drainage." This proposed amendment is equally it not more important to the people than the other and should have the earnest thought of the candidates. Another act of the legislature which should bo ventilated is that one which provides for the establishing and removal of dispensaries. Thia act provides that dis< pensaries can be established in an> county bv a majority of the votof aud can be removed in tho name way, but it prcviileB that if the people vote it out a tax of one half mill annually shall be levied on all the taxable property of the county for the purpose of defraying the expenses of the enforcement ol the dispensary law in such county, Every candidate for the legislature should olearly define his position with reference to this law, and 1 call upon oach one to say on the stump whether ho is in favor of it or not. If the biennial session* Amendment is adopted, then tin next legislature should further amend the constitution by making the terms of all officers four yean and have oloctlons every foui years, The candidates should ex press themselves on this subjeci also.

I think WA 1/1 1 ? ? ? " nv wi'm live iwu years unoer any law they would pass and save some 1 $50,000 annually. Mahy States have this provision in their constitution. Virginia has it in her titution, adopted sotae three ra ago. suppose thero is no hope tor a ngo in the dispensary law. utomobiles should be barred to prevent the people from ing to do it by wrecking them shooting the people off them j J and ? inch rifles, which I 3ve they will do. hy do so many of the news ..^jrs still abuse Bryan? If the people could vote directly for president he would ? 0-w v t v_> in n than Roosevelt and Parker both^ ( or any other two mon. Rev. Sam Jones says: "but all iu all Bryan is the strongest and greatest por( sonality in Amorica. II he is dead, he is the biggest, finest, strongest, sassiest corpse that ever laid be. fore the eyes of man." t II ho and his friends wore kicked [ out of the Democratic party, as . some papers wanted done, there would not bo enough left to make a complete skeleton. In my opinion this hatred of good and smart men is begotten by envy, knowing 1 that if they once got started up ward they will reach the top to , stay. We have a oase in our , State that illustrates this. AgricoligJ., ?

We were visited by a light shower of rain Thursday evening, which was the first we have had ia several weeks. Crops began to look like they were parohed in the heat of the day before the rain fell. I notice some report rain last Saturday, but it never come this way, Children's day services at Antioch tho second Sunday was a success. The little fellows spoke well, and that spoke well for both child- - , ren aud parents. It showed that' they had the proper training. The candle lecture by the Supt. Mr. W. W. Aiken, was grand, and the addroBses given by Revs. B. E. Grandy and A. J. Manly, Hon. C. E. Robinson and Maj. Q. M. Lynch were very impressive, noble and aoul uplifting. Evorybody seemed to be deeply interested by their Speeches. We extend to thom our heartfelt thanks for their speeches, and extend to thom a hearty welcome to meet with us again. The good ladies had all that heart could wiBh to satisfy the innerman at noon. The musio wag in charge of the secretary of the Suuday school, and Profs. E. M. and R. M. Bolding and Prof. J. L.
