prRrIIcT JUSTICES.

The arraignment Of the justices Of
the peace of this county by the grand
jury in its final report, which was pub
lished in The LEADER last week was
very severe one, and yet, in the light of
the facts stated, 1t was undoubtedly a
most deserved criticism of some of
these officials. Here is what the grand
jury said:
The Justices of the Peace, in the
face of protest after protest from for
mer grand juries, continue to impose
such trifllng fines on offenders that we
are constrained to think that costs are
the paramount issue with these Off
Gals. We learn from creditable wit
nesses that some of these officials even
ride over the country seeking atlantis
and persuading them to withdraw suits
filed in order to collect the costs at
the sacrifice of the fines which should
go to the county finances.
The language in the first sentence
of the above seems to US too sweeping
and unqualified, as it makes no excep-
tion-draws no distinction been the
justices of the county who are trying
to faithfully perform their duty and
those who are not.
THE LEADER is informed by a MEM
Der of the grand inquest that the
record shows that there was total of
$3.50 in fines reported by the justices of
the peace of the county from the
month of May to Oct. 1, 1900, and that
of this amount 1896 was reported by
one justice r. d. Lanier, of
district No. 1. This leaves only 1854
reported by all the other justices of
the county put together.
The Board Of Supervisors took oc.
casion some time ago to compliment
Justice Lanier on the excellent record
he is making, and he undoubtedly de-
serves all the commentator he has
received. All of the delinquent JUS
tees who come under the condemna-
ton pronounced by the grand jury
would do good thing for the county
and reflect credit on themselves by
emulating his excellent example.
