ings, amounting In all to Sl3l. Mrs

Editor IntcllIgencer.
DEAR SIR-It is not my wish to make
complaint against any of III county
officials, for they are exceptionally polite
and efficient. Nor do | think any of
them would Intentionally do any of the
citizens Of the county injustice, but as q
matter of fact, some of them do grave
Injustice to a few of our people. l
alludo to the Jury or court service In the
county: There is a population of more
than thirty thousand people in Our
county, and comparatively a very few
are called upon to do this service.
There are hundreds to my personal
knowledge as good and true men, IN
every way qualified, who have never sat
on a jury. L have in my mind twelve
good men as can be found-living within
less than a miles radius, ten Of whom
never served on a jury, the other two
have served time and again-one Of
them has served for more than thirty
years. rarely missing two successive
years service. Now this is all unjust
and unfair, and should not be.
ldon't think, Mr.. Editor, that / am
addicted to grumbling; nor do 1 wish to
Shnk any duty imposed on me as a citl-
zen, but l do feel aggrieved, and feel
an injustice has been done the few who
have this burden to bear. We are told
good men are needed on juries; there is
no complaint on that score, but, | for
one am not asking for such empty
honors, but for fair and impartial JUS
tlce only. We are told that names are
placed in an envelope and the jurymen
are drawn from the number. Yes, that
is true, but as l have shown, the sane
names are put in the envelope all of the
time. We get from Sl.25 to S1.50 per
diem, and have So 90 per day hotel bills,
beside being called from u business
and homes. 1 do sincerely hope this
injustice will cease SO we will not have
to complain again.
Very respectfully,
e.. Y. Ford,
