Grand Jury's Homily.

The grand jury at Woodstock, Ga,
took little turn Of mind and the follow
ing appears in its presentments:
While we would in no wise seek or
even wish to appear. to exercise a censor
ship over the press and public print,
feeling and realizing that in the press Of
this country. unawed by influence and
mbrited 10y gain. the people have a true
and faithful conservation of public morals
and a ceaseless power ever at work en-
deavorng to uplift humanity and up
build and develop the material wealth
ana resources Of "A great and growing
country AN agency which deserves the
heart.est cooperation. patronage and en-
couragement Of all men who have at
heart the best interest OF free and I'M
trammeled people and matchless COM
moEwealth. yet We would caution our
newspapers. local. state and national,
their editors and correspondents to exer-
else great care in all that Is written and
published to the end that nothing may
be said which will have a tendency 10
lower rather than elevate the morals
of the people and bring q blush o. shame
to the cheek of any. Yet we fully recog-
nize and appreciate the importance OF
truth being disseminated that il may
serve the double purpose Of enlightening
ana cdutonlnk tndl we may prOnt there
by hence We would in no degree favor
suppression of the same except to the ex-
tent that the press and we as a people
all be particular and guarded in what
may be said or written for the public
ear, so that good may result therefrom.
However. in saying this. we make no
reference TO any particular paper or per-
son. but would have it apply alike 10
all papers writers and people"
1t is not understood just what prompted
the grand jury 10 incorporate this eau
ton in its presentments. 1t may be a
diplomatic way of informing the opposing
parties in the Baptist war now raging
in the pulpit and in The Georgia Baptist
a paper published at Cumming. Ga, that
the grand jury thought 1t time to come
10 terms Of peace and let hostilities cease:
or il may be the censure now being
heaped upon Spain by the people and
press OF this country; or 1t may be as

political campaign. too. that the grand

The plant has been shut down three

wages paid for operatives did not exceed
10 cents per day. The pencil manufac-
