The Lawrence Circuit Court will
convene the fourth Monday in
this mouth, aud the NEWS takes
occasion to add another warning
10 the many given during the past
few months as to the suppression
of crime in this county.
Lawlessness has tlourlshed to
such an extent and "Justice" has
been so lax In her dealings with
the criminals that critical stage
has been reached. The time has
come when strict enforcement of
the law must be had. Every ofli-
Ger must do his full duty, without
fear or favor, and the juries will
deserve and receive the condemna-
ton Of all good citizens if they
dodge their duty or shield any
criminal. A great responsibility
rests upon the officers and juries,
and the good citizenship will not
tolerate much abuse OF the power
and trust reposed in them.
The officers whose duty it is to
execute the various papers for our
circuit court are expected to per-
form this important work in the
most faithful manner. Much de-
lay and expense and evasion of
justice has resulted in the past
from the neglect or wilful abuse of
this work. To execute a summons
or warrant oLly when the fee will
justify it is not the correct policy
for an officer to pursue.
He is required by law and bound
by his oath OF Office to execute the
papers placed in his hands, with.
out regard to the amount OF The
fee. The return of mot found" is
Que that is often looked upon with
suspicion. Criticism Of what has
been done would accomplish moth
ing, and this Is not intended a:
such, but only as timely warning
The dockets OF Lawrence county
have at times, been practically
clear of bad cases, and may b,
made so again. The power rests
with the courts and juries.
