GRAND JURY REPORTS
 ON GAMBLING AT FAIR
WITNESS WAS NOT
 PRESENT IN COURT
CASE AGAINST r. G. WATTS FOR TAKING A GRIP OUT OF THE LOBBY OF THE HILLMAN HOTEL IS CONTINUED.

An absent witness caused the case of T. c. Watts, young white man charged with taking a grip from the rotunda Of the Hotel Hillman. to be postponed in police court yesterday. Watts told the court that the grip had been pointed out to him by q friend named Henson, who asked him to take 1t to certain place. A clerk of the hotel said no one by the name of Henson had registered.
 According to the employees of the hotel, Watts entered the lobby of the hotel about clock Friday afternoon and took a seat. After remaining there awhile he arose, walked over to place near the counter where luggage Is usually placed, picked up a grip and walked out. The head bellman says he followed the man and called a policeman when he refused to turn it over
 The grip was said to be the property of Edward S. DeTamole of Indianapolis, and worth about sl5.
 and we are unanimous in our condemna- ton of the same.
 .sWe have examined the bonds of the county officers and found them to be se- cure We have also examined the books of the various officers and find them neat ly and correctly kept so far as we were able to ascertain. And in view ot the fact that County Auditor Robert A. Nor ris, has entire supervision over this mat ter. and after hearing his able aud com plete report, we are of the opinion that 1t would be time wasted for us to go into a further examination or the various books of the different county officers. We unanimously adopt his report in full. anc recommend that every suggestion made by him be carried out as far as Is pos sible, and we, the grand jury, extend to him our congratulations on the able and efficient manner in which he handles the great volume of business In his office. And we especially urge legislation as re- gards the county coroner.

Tt has been reported to this body that there was gambling of various kinds at the Alabama State fair, held in our coun- ty, and while we are unable to attach the crime to any one, we are sure that the law was 1agrantly violated, and as the parties who operated those devices and made and sold pools were transients, N Is our opinion that the officers of tho law placed there to enforce the same were very lax in regard to their duties,

One Of The Dancing GILES.


Binche attests the innate love OF Bel.
gians for these picturesque vestigCs
of their forefathers' civilization.
The festival of the dancing Giles
OF Binche is in many respects tie
'dhaintest OF these popular customs.
This festival takes place on Marlli
Gras at the Binche, town Of HGil'
ault Without the Giles It would not
be substantially different from that
OF Rome, Nice and other towns.
These Giles, or dancing men, WHO
form the glory Of the Binche carni'
val, are characterized by their heal
dresses and humps The headdrets
is most elaborate and striking. In
shape II resembles the oldtime top
hat Of our great.grandfathers Tie
hat Is surmounted with magnificent
ostrich feathers from three to forr
feet IA length, which give to the wea"-
ere the appearance Of giants.
From each hat besides, flow several
wide, variegated ribbons, while the
GILES trousers are bedecked with
trimmings OF real lace and ribbons
TO match those Of the hat. Ever.
Gille wears a mask and a silk belt
from which hang small bells.
The entire Giles outfit costs from.
$40 to $50, a large sum for the peasant
youth, generally selected by the car.
nival committee 10 all the part OF act
ors in the Mardi Gras festivities. The
honor OF being a Gille is so great,
however, and carries such prestige
with the local damsels, that the young
men chosen are only too pleased to
make the financial sacrifice demanded
OF them.
In the afternoon OF Mardi Gras the
GILES, in full uniform, 200 strong, pre-
ceded by the local brass band and
musical clubs, appear In procession
and march toward the Grande place
The GILES proceed by dancing to the
tune Of the band.
At every few steps they stop, bend
and unbend, to heighten the effect o.
the ringing from the bells worn al
their belts. Their streamers float tC
and fro, and envelOp them in a rain
bow OF ribbon. At the same time the
simultaneous ringing Of bells ant
humping Of wooden sabots on the
cobblestones sound like the echo o.
a ca+airy charge.
The GILES each have a straw has
ket hanging TO one side from the belt
and filled with oranges. With thest
they lombard the spectators as the!
dance along. As soon as emptied, thu
baskets are filled again by men from
behind, appointed for this duty. !
