Fifty-Ninth Congress Ends.

Monday saw the end of the
Fifty-Ninth Congress which was
ended in the usual way Of speech
making, farewell addresses and
fun making in which all the
members took part. The work
of congress was principally con-
fined to appropriations and but
little legislation for the good OF
the country was INDUCED in.
The congress succeeded il. APP
propriating nearly a billion dollars
which is an increase over all pre-
vious records. In the closing
days Of the session the Demo
Gratis succeeded in defeating the
ship subsidy bill which was only
accomplished by a fi~libustering
process in the senate by Senator
Carmack. The South, as usual.
shares in a poor way in the ap-
preparation bills and but little OF
the money comes our way. In
our own district Congressman
Gambler, assisted by Senator Nc
Laurin, made a splendid fight to
secure an appropriation for the
Improvement of the Tom Blgbee
river, but their efforts were with
out success. :
Many of the older members of
the house will not be on hand at

Report of Grand Jury.
To Hon. E. O. Sykes, Judge:

To Hon. E. @. Sykes, Judge:
We, the grand jurors empanel.
ed, charged and sworn to well
and truly examine into the VIC
lations of the law in the county
of Lee, do respectfully submit
this our final report.
We have diligently sought out
all violations of the laws that
that have not already come I'M
der the observation of the peace
officers of the county; we have
summoned 314 and examined 283
witnesses, and returned 20 bills.
We find from the reports of the
Justices of the peace, that the
lesser crimes are on the increase
and recommend a more rigid en-
forcement and heavier punish
ment for these smaller offenses,
believing that greater crimes
grow out of them and that most
of our criminals come from those
who begin in a petty way to VI
olate the law.
We have examined the poor
house and find it in a splendid
condition, the inmates are well
cared for and furnished first
class food. We have examined
the county Jail and find it IN fine
condition and safe and comforta-
BILE. We have examined the
books Of the county officers and
find them neatly kept and in a
business like manner.
We desire to return our thanks
to the court and the county Off
Gals for all courtesies extended
us.
Having made our final report,
we ask to be discharged.
