King moved to this county from Abbeville and has resided near Mt. Gallagher and Wares Shoals since 1859. And he has ever been a loyal, true and patriotic citizen.

It needs but little foresight, to tell, that when your stomach and liver are badly affected, grave trouble is ahead, unless you take the proper medicine for your disease, as Mrs. John A. Young, of Clay, N. Y., did. She says: "I had neuralgia of the liver and stomach, my heart was weakened, and I could not eat. I was very bad for a long time, but in Electric Bitters, I found just what I needed, for they quickly relieved and cured me." Best medicine for weak women.

The following is the final present ment of the Grand Jury for the July term of Court, A. D. 1905: To the Honorable J. C. Klugh, Presid ing Judge: We, the Grand Jurors, for Laurens County, beg to submit this, our final presentment for the July term of Court: 1: We have carefully examined all Bills handed us by the Solicitor during the present term and made our pre sentment upon each, as was in our judgment just and proper. 2: We have investigated thoroughly, all complaints and recommendations laid before us. 3: We note with pleasure the im provements being made in and about the Court House by our Supervisor, and recommend that he continue the work until all recommendations in past presentments be complied with, such as new blinds for the windows down stairs, electric lights for the Court room, etc. 4: The Jail Committee visited the buildings and premises and found the same in bad condition. They respect fully recommend that the proper au thorities have erected at once a new cook and dining room, as the one now used for cooking purposes is altogether unfit and is rotting down. 5: Also, the plastering up stairs in the Jail is falling off and is much in need of immediate attention. We recommend that this work be done at once and that a thorough white washing of the building be not delayed. 6: We further recommend that a new stable be built at once, and that it be erected on a more elevated site than the present one, thus ensueing more cleanliness; and further that the pres ent cook room be removed or torn down and the lumber used in the erec tion of a buggy shed on some suitable place on the premises. It is important that this work be done at once and should not longer be postponed. 7: The Committee appointed to visit the County Home report that they found everything in good order, the houses in good repair, the rooms of the inmates neatly kept, and the premises generally in a clean and healthy condi tion, and the keeper of the Home, as well as the County, is to be congratu lated on the cheerful and contented disposition of the inmates. 8: The Committee appointed to ex amine into the condition of the unused cistern on the lino of the C. & W. C. Railroad bridge, over Little River, near the Cotton Mill, have performed their duty and find that said cistern is a source of danger both to the health and lives of the citizens in the commu nity and immediate vicinity, and this body, therefore urgently recommends and authorizes the city authorities to attend to this matter at once, and in the event that it is not done within a reasonable time, then we authorize the County Supervisor to fill up said cistern and present the bill of expense for such work to the proper party or parties on whoso land the said cistern is situated; provided, however the proper owners refuse themselves to do such work. 9: In reference to the health of the citizens of the city, your Committo ap pointed for this purpose beg to report that they find numerous places calcu lated to breed diseases, to-wit: The short alley immediately behind Poaey'a and Bennett's stores, around and about the premises of Harrison Hunter's and Brown Franklin's restaurants, as well as the fenced lot immediately be hind Bennett's store should be cleaned up at once by the city authorities or the users of said prcmses. Wo also find the same filthy or unhealthy condition existing in rear of Kennedy Bros.' store made so by slops and waste water from Tildy Rice's restaurant. Also, we find the premises around Ben Madden's restaurant in the same filthy condition. Also, the premises in roar of the City Market. 10: Another source of danger to health is the drainage pipes running from the Ben Delia Hotel down Jail alley into Jail street, thence across Main and emptying into the branch; and another drainage pipe or conductor running from the same premises in the direction of "Possum Hollow." The same objection also applies to the drainage pipes running from the Ben Delia Pharmacy and the Palmetto Drug Company's places of business and the Bottling Works. The scum and odor arising from these sources are ex tremely obnoxious and unhealthy, and this Grand Jury would urge that imme diate stops be taken to provide against the danger to health by reason of this imperfect system of drainage. Also, we find the premises in rear of W. L. Gray's "Emporium" block of buildings are much in need of cleaning, and the drainage also should he looked after immediately in rear of the Laun dry in said building. 11: J. A. Smith, J. L. Crawford, C. W. Taylor and A. R. Holmes were ap pointed as a Committee to examine the books of the county and finances of the county, during the interim of the clos ing of this Court and the sittings of the next Court at which time they are ordered to report to this body. 12: In conclusion, this Grand Jury would enter its protest against a sys tem that has caused considerable annoy ance to the farming interests, in that creditors holding claims against par ties for supplies, or otherwise postpone the collection or enforcement of such claims until the planting season or in the midst of the most busy work sea son, thus entailing much annoyance and trouble to innocent parties who happen to have said debtors under contract for the year, which innocent employer has to ''stand good" for or settle the ac count himself, in order to protect him self in ^holding or retaining the ser vices of such debtor. Wo would recommend that our Representa tives in the Legislature try to remedy this unfortunate condition by encouraging the passage of n law requiring creditors to either en force their claims in the fall of the year, or desist from such collection un til the creditor's contract has expired with his employer. 13: In the discharge of our duties, this Grand Jury has to thank the Pre siding Judge for the instruction afforded it and also the assistance and advice ?nven us by the efficient and industrious Solicitor, Robert A. Cooper, and other courtesies extended us during this Court. All of which is respectfully submit ted. J. R. Woods, Foreman Pro tern.

We will venture to say nine cases out of ten are caused by improper digestion. This, or other symptoms of Indigestion such as nervousness, nausea, neart-burn, sour stomach, flatulency and despondency, should be a warning to you who are in danger of having indigestion, the great est enemy of American health to-day, fasten its merciless fangs on your health. Remember, "A Stitch in time saves nine", and a bottle or the celebrated Kellum's Sure Cure for Indigestion has saved untold misery to people in many parts of this broad land, by curing them permanently of this miserable disease. Yes, not like the pepsin digestives that help for a time, but cures permanently by causing the digestive organs to perform their functions. Nature being such a great rectifier of its own ills, with the assistance of this powerful medicine, gives you a healthy stomach and removes indigestion and its symptoms perma nently.
