GRAND JURY REPORT.
A COMPREHENSIVE RESUME OF THE
BODYS INVESTIGATIONS.
The Alarming Extent to Which White
Gaping Was Undermining the
COunty's Citizenship.
A Number Of Important RecOmmenda-
tiOnS Made.

Hon. H. M. Wilkinson, Circuit
Judge:
We, the grand jurors empanel
ed at the November Term of The
Lincoln County Circuit Court, re
spectfully submit this, our fina
report. We have been in session
IL days, examined 166 witnesses
and returned SO bills of indict
ment. Seven of them were fol-
murder; 81 for other felonies and
the rest for various forms of mis-
demeanor.
Acting under the Courts in.
structions and in accordance with
our own best judgment and con.
viction of duty, we have devoted
a large portion of the time to 9
thorough and searching inyestiga-
tion of the white cap crimes in
our county. The extent to which
the farmers league or white car
organization had gained a foot
hold in this county and degraded
its citizenship, and especially the
extent to which it was secretly
encouraged, covered up and par
ticipated in by citizens of the
county of hitherto untarnished
reputation and character after its
criminal nature became known,
has been to the members of this
jury, a matter of the profoundest
surprise and deepest regret. The
vast majority of the persons
against whom true bills we're
found, and whom under the law
and instructions of the court, we
felt constrained to indict, were re-
turned for their participation in
some way as members of this un-
lawful organization. To call it
the farmers league is reproach
and SANDER on the good name of
every upright, law abiding far
mer of Lincoln county. The
offenses against the law and or
derly government for which we
found this secret organization re
sponsible, ranged all the way
from cold blooded assassination
and midnight murder, down to
simple passive membership. The
oath. in condensed form, admins
tered to initiates, and attested to
before the jury by various wit.
nesses, and which amply attests
the dangerous and unlawful char
acter of the organization, is in
words and form as follows:
do you solemnly swear that
you will keep the secrets of the
farmers league a profound secret;
that you will obey all orders; and

IIt is impossible for the sheriff to
avert the danger complained Of
unless standing guard we're
maintained around Che Jail day
and night. The top story Of the
IiaiI needs attention and also the
sanitary closets.
The courthouse should be kept
far more cleanly than it IS.
Every floor and room should be
scrubbed well at least twice d year
before court meets. The Cocoa
mating should be renewed, and
at least once q year should be tak-
len Up and the floors cleansed be-
fore it is re-Iaid. It would be
better if the stone floors were
lmopped occasionally rather than
swept. a few minor repairs are
needed ON the building, otherwise
Lie is III good condition.
1 Regarding the examination Of
1.-THE books OF the Offices Of the
county, this grand jury finds that
outstanding the fact of it hav-
ling amongst its members several
! fair accountants, that it is inpos-
lsible for it 30 give this matter tile

have the farm conducted in d hui
name and business-like manner.
The Board should see to ii that
The superintendent employs none
but reliable, sober and humane
persons for guards and attendants
on the poor.
The jury visited and inspected
the Jail in a body. At the pres
ent time it contains an unusual
number Of prisoners awaiting
trial or sentence Of the court.
The prisoners seemed reasonably
comfortable and well cared for,
but the Jail is not kept ID as clean
II q condition as it should be.
We especially recommend that the
Board of Supervisors proceed ait
the earliest date practicable to
have the Jail building safely en-
closed. The day the jury visited
THE jail, we observed strings slIs-
pended to the ground from win
dows of the apartment occupied
by some Of the worst and most
desperate prisoners, and articles
passed UP to them BY these strings
|bY persons on the ground. In
the same way deadly weapons and
tools for Jail delivery might be
easily passed to them. Therefore
1.-THE sheriff and his jailor are virs
Itaally at the mercy Of desperate
prisoners, and that important Jail
deliveries have not already occur
Ired is due far more 70 the good
faith of the / prisoners and their
friends on tho outside than to any
security offered BY fhe jail itself.

The Democratic Problem.
John Sharp Williams Solution of Pres
ent Difficulties.

John Sharp Williams, the Demo-
cratic leader of the House, seems like
ly TO prove his right to the second
j. int of his name. He is reported to
have said that the Democratic party
ought to stop talking and get to-
gether.
This is the most perspicaeious OBJ
|servation which has vet been made on
the situation in the Democratic party.
No party can really be of much use TO
itself or the surrounding country so
long as it Is in a scattered and con
versational condition The question
now is, How IS this happy result to be
obtained? If Mr. Williams can de-
wise any string that Will hold his
party together, or any muzzle that
will keep it from talking. be will be
the great man of his century, if not
&C the world. Barnum with his
Happy Family was nothing to such
a reconeiler.
Again, how can anyone predict
what would be the result of actual
getting together on 4 non-convers9-
tional basis? Bryan, for example,
cannot be thought Of as silent. II is
seriously TO be doubted whether he
could be silent without grave results
to his internal organs. Hearst does
not talk so much with his vocal or
gans, but he has several papers which.
simply scream. When Mr.. Cleveland
talks, his remarks are apt TO hit some
body in a tender place. For example,
there was his statement about Judge
Parker-tliat he once thought of max
ing that gentleman assistant postmas-
ter general. And could anyone pre-
vent Mr.. Cleveland's letting fly some
such epigram if he happened to
choose2 There is, we are told by all

And then, IT is not always safe for
