creditors for sums equal to their re-
spectiye stocks. This is known as Il
double liability and exists in some

CIRCUIT COURT IN SESSION.

Circuit court convened Monday
with Judge w. F. Stevens, of Carroll
ton, presiding. The Judge is we'll
known and deservedly popular in
Grenada and community, and occu-
pies an eminent position among the
jurists Of Mississippi. He delivered
strong charge to the grand jury in
which he laid before them very clearly
their duty. In language about which
there could be no mistake he showed
them that great part of the respon-
sibility for the enforcement of law
rested with juries and especially with
the grand jury, which must take the
initiative against lawlessness and law
breakers. In referring to blind
tigers" the Judge was very emphatic.
He said that it was blot upon the
country, and reflection upon the
manhood and courage of the grand
jury to say that they could not find
true bills when everything was SEEM
ingly so wide open and so much dis
cussed. The charge was highly COM
plimented by those who heard it.
In justice to the grand jury it is
well to say that it has had number
OF people summoned who are supposed
to be frequenters of blind tigers, y
but it seems they had convenient
memories, and under their oathS
claimed to know nothing. The grand
jury can, of course, do nothing If the
witnesses who are brought before it
will stultify themselves, and refuse to
give the desired information. True
bills can only be returned when the
evidence is furnished the grand jury.
From the very best of authority we
learn that the present grand jury is
one of the best ever had in this coun-
ty, and has been quite active ano
vigilant in its efforts to uncover law
lessneSs, and to indict the law-break
ers. 1t is a generally accepted fact
that blind tigers" are in Grenada
but the responsibility for their escape
from punishment is not alone upor
the grand jury. Following is a list o
jnrors: r. II. Stokes, foreman; A. c
Thomas, J. G. James, W. W. Garner

STATE DlSPENSARlES.

From an explanation of the dispen-
sary law in South Carolina by Senator
Tillman to few friends at his room
Wednesday, says the David City,
Iowa Press, it comes the nearest to
being an equitable solution Of the
liquor question yet devised. Under
this law, a state commissioner, with
an advisory board, purchases all the
liquors brought into the state. 1t is
taken to a central depot, analyzed by
experts for purity and quality, as the
law permits no harmful adulterations,
after which it is bottled and sealed
up, its age and quantity labeled, and
every kind and quality has the price
printed on a card. There are 90 dis
pensaries in the state. a dispenSary
looks like any drug store, rallied off in
front like a bank. The purchaser
goes to the railing, looks over a card
1 to see what he wants, makes his selec-
tion, then fills out blank, stating
his age and place of residence and the
kind Of liquor he wants. He pushes
this blank and the price over to the
dispenser and receives the liquor in
the sealed packages as they were put
up in the state dispensary. The blank
is not for the purpose Of espionage
over the purchaser, but as check on
the dispenser. No liquor is allowed
to be sold after sundown, and none to
minors. The dispensers are ap-
pointed by the state board, but in
most counties the party conventions
nominate the dispensers, and the sue.
