Horse Thief Was Caught.

Some time ago a horse and buggy be- longing to Hon. Edward deGraffenried of Greensboro, disappeared from that town, and a well known negro thief also left about that time. He brought the horse and buggy to Selma and talked so plaus- ibly about the animal and vehicle belong ing to him that J. l.. Rhodes finally pur- chased it, giving him certain sum down and his due bill for the balance. In the meantime Mir Rhodes sold the horse and buggy to Morris Koenigsthal. It was found out few days ago that the horse and buggy belonged to MT. deGraffenreid, and plan was put on foot to capture the negro, who had gone down on the gulf coast and was working in some of the numerous saw mills in that section. ~ The negro wrote a letter to MT. Rhodes, requesting him to send the money due on the horse and buggy to certain bank and he would surrender the due bill The authorities of Mississippi were notified and the negro was captured. with MT. Rhodes's due bill in his pocket. The ne- gro has been carried back to Greens boro MT. deGraffenreid, through his at- torney, has refunded to MT. Rhodes the amount that he paid the negro, and he in turn has made good the amount that Mir. Koenigsthal paid him for the horse and buggy.

Not Rnval,s Slayer.

A day or so ago this department of The Advertiser contained a story about a negro by the name of Louis Brown being arrested in St. Louis on trivial mat ter and on getting dangerously i'll while in prison called an officer to him and made a confession that his home was in Uniontown, Ala, and that he was the murderer of Ed Royal, a popular white man of that community several years ago. The story about the negro being arrested getting sick etc, proves to be untrue, but he did confess to the killing of MT. Royal. but under different circum- stances from those noted.
 Louis Brown is a Uniontown negro and left there some time ago and went to St. Louis. He remained in Uniontown, how ever several months after the death of Ed Royal, and his name had never been connected with the murder in any way whatever. It seems that Louis belonged to the Colored Knights of Pythias. He got strapped in St. Louis and wanted to raise little money to get home on per haps, as he took one of his brothers Knights aside and confessed te him that he was the slayer of Ed Royal and he wanted help to go further west as he was afraid that he would be arrested and brought to justice if he remained in St. Louis. The Knight of Pithias to whom he confided the secret had him arrested instead of giving him money. and the result was that he was brought back to Uniontown and then confessed that he had told a lie to get the money to travel on It is not thought around Uniontown that he had anything to do with the Anling of MT.

labor for the work and at the same time saving thousands of dollars in jail board bills to the taxpayers.
 We have diligently endeavored to fer ret out violations of the local prohibi- ton law, and have had a number Of wit nesses before us on that subject, but have been ahle to get none who knew anything about it, or would tell what he knew.
 We have done our utmost to get at some alleged violations of the election law. and while all the witnesses before us on that subject were respectable white men. we have utterly failed to get any particle of evidence, even the poll list. The next Legislature and the Democratic party will prove recreant to duty, un- faithful to and unworthy of the people s trust. if 1t fails to enact a comprehen- sive and adequate election law, both for primaries and elections. which will abso- Itely provide the means for putting any political crook and degenerate in the State, however respectable, behind the walls of the pententiary, for any and every act of dishonesty in such elections.
 In conclusion, we would say that the administration of the law is a difficult and complex thing. It takes witnesses before the grand juries to speak the whole truth; grand jurors with the eour- age to indict; clerks to issue all neces- sary papers properly; sheriffs to serve them and bring persons into court; wit nesses to tell the truth to petit jurors; petit jurors with the courage to find true and fearless verdicts; judges to do their full dutv-as we'll a 8 solicitors to do theirs and. above and beyond all it takes good. honest, consistent citizens who make up public opinion and healthy citizenship it takes all these combined in harmonious whole to enforce the law in any commun- ity. And to that end we wish to recom- mend the abolishment of all jury exemp- uons in this county, except for mental. physical and moral disability.
 We have diligently endeavored to per- form our whole duty, and we have pre- sented true bill in each case where. in our opinion, the evidence justified it.
 We are indebted U Solicitor w. w. Quarles for efficient services during our session in aiding us to perform our du- ties. and this jury sincerely thanks him for his uniform courtesy and assistance.
 Very respectfully submitted.
