Kind actions never are forgot

OF THE
CIR A ND JUR Y
MAY TERM, 1873.
To the Honorable the Judges Of the
Circuit Court for Garrett County:

The Grand Jury respectfully reports to your
Honors that it has examined all the witness
ses which have presented themselves before
it for examination, and has discharged this
duty as eXpeditiously as possible from the
large number of complaints made. The
Grand Jury has also visited the Jail of the
county and has examined the offices in the
court house in fulhlment of duty imposed
by law, and reports that it finds the vault ap-
purtenant to the office Of the Clerk of the
Circuit Court in such a condition from the
dampness OF its walls as makes it unsafe as a
depository for the papers and records of that
office, and those papers and records mustnec-
essarily receive damage to a considerable eX-
tent unless steps be taken at once to remedy
the evil. The walls ofthe vault are thick and
1t appears they have never yet been thorough
ty dried from the time of the erection of the
building. But the Jury thinks the difficulty
might be remidied to very large extent, by
placing a stove in the vault and keeping 1t
well heated for time.
The Grand Jury would also report that it
finds the Jail in good condition and its &C
commodations amply sufficient for the neces-
sites of the county in that direction, but
would report that in the Judgment of the
Grand Jury the combination locks with
which the cells are supplied, while atfording
a very great degree Of security against the
escape Of prisoners under ordinary circum
stances yet in cases of imminent danger
from fire, &cs, they might prov a serious
hindrance to the release of any persons con-
fined in the cells, and might seriously imperil
their lives. and would therefore suggest fast
enings for the cells of more simple character
and construction.
Having performed its duties in these re
spects, the Grand Jury now begs to be dis
charged.

Foreman.

Mr.. EDITOR Since our temper
ance meeting during court, several
parties have asked us for a guide or
constitution, contemplating the or
ganization OF temperance societies in
their Sunday Schools.
Bands of Hope, or juvenile tenn
perance societies should be organized
in all Sunday Schools in the county,
and it is necessary to have simple
form only for their introduction into
the different schools. Persons join
ing these societies are not required
to sign any pledge or take any obi
cation, but voluntarily give their
names to the Secretary as members
during meeting, and are simply
from, and discountenance the use of
Intoxicating liquors, and make use
Of their influence for the advance.
ment of the cause 0. temperance.
Proper officers should be elected for
the government of the society. Gen
orally the officers of the Sunday
School are made the officers of the
Band of Hope; that is, the Superin-
tendent is made President, the AS
sistant Superintendent is made Vice
President, &C., throughout, until a
perfect organization has been COM
pleted. In some instances, as with
our Band, the minister in charge of
the station or circuit is made Presi-
dent.
The duties of the officers are the
same in this as in other similar soci-
cites. The President shall preside at
all meetings, keep order and enforce
all rules, &c. The Vice President
shall preside and peform the duties
of the President in his absence. The
Secretary shall keep correct minutes
of the proceedings Of the meetings,
and list of all persons becoming
members, record the same in book
or books kept for that purpose, and
answer all correspondence. The
Treasurer shall take charge of all
monies, keeps strict account Of the
same, and pay only AS directed 10y
the Society. After electing officers,
the Band of Hope is fully organized
and ready to work. Our Band is
success, and as to the manner of its
working we may give an account
hereafter.

Under THAT law the Judge of the
County Court was authorized to grant
licenses to persons who kept Ordina~
ries only, and they had to be persons
of good moral character, and were
compelled to give security. The act
of 1925 removed begreat restriction,
and by that act all parties who kept
ordinaries were entitled to licenses to
sell liquor. But the act of 1927 re-
quired the clerk of the courts to issue
licenses to all persons and for every
purpose. Then it, was when getting
votes by whiskey was introduced.
BY this law all restraint was broken
down and the curse was upon us.
The Judge then very ably review
ed the Sunday, minor and election
laws with regard to the sale of liquor,
and concluded as follows: See the
corrupting influences Of the general
sale Of liquor upon our politicians of
every grade, upon office holders Of
every description. There must be
reform. The Independent voter must
step to the front. Let the wire pullers
know that the men nominated by
gr0g shop conventions and primaries
will not be supported by the honest
voters. The people must vote upon
business princi pies. Let the mer-
chant exercise the same intelligence
in this matter that he does in his
private business Let him give good
weight and honest measure. Let the
farmer plough deep. Let the car
penter use the same square and level
Judgment which he exercises in his
trade. Let the blacksmith drive the
nail in sure place. If this course
be pursued reform will come, Local
Option will be a law, drunkenness
will.cease and the cause of temper
ance will be triumphant.
