JUDGE MILLER IS
 HOLDING THE COURT
Delivers Able Charge to the
 Grand Jury
PROHIBITION
Calls for the Indictment of Persons Selling Liquor on Boats h the Middle of the RiVer-fo
 Discuss Paving.

Selma. September -(Special.1-The Dallas county circuit court convened this morning. Judge B NJ. Miller presiding. There are a number of important ciNh cases on the docket and a large list ot witnesses present to go before the grand jurv The charge of Judge Miller to the grand jury was an earnest exposition of the law and a faithful charge to the eighteen men to do their full duty without fear or favor.
 He stated that he had not come with prepared charge to the Dallas county Jury as Judge Richardson was to have held the court. Those who heard the charge to the jury state that no amount of prep aration could have brought forth an abler, more lucid or stronger charge than that given.
 Judge Miller took up the roads in Dal- las county and the law to road duty He compared the Montgomery county roads to those in Dallas county and stated that he had ridden over the form CT yesterday and that places were pointed out to him worth $75 and $l00 per acre and that there were good lands in Dallas county as anywhere and it only needed roads to make them worth as much more here. He referred to the four or five miles of road leading from the south end of the county bridge and declared with such roads all over the county there would be untold develop ment and prosperity and that the tide of immigration from the country to the city would be turned the other way, facilities being easily afforded to get into town to the school and churches, etc. He stated that if the grand jury did it's duty such roads would be built all over the county.

Prohibition Question.

On the prohibition question the judge charged the jury fully as to their duty, deridng the claim that is some time made that prohibition does not prohibit. He declared that laws did not stop murder. did not stop arson and other crimes, but that was no reason why indictments should not be made.
 He laid particular stress upon the al legged practice of the steamboats selling whisky when in the middle of the stream violation of the law. He asked the jury if murder was committed on steam boat in the middle of the stream would anybody contend the court could not try the murderer. The same applied to the violation of any law and it is viola tion to sell whisky anywhere in Dallas county outside of Selma.
 His charge on the crime of adultery was a strong lesson in morals showing how if the head of a stream was pol luted it's poison went to every branch. The judge said that if a man poured a bushe of Paris green into the water works reservoir that in all probability a special term of the court would have to be called to prevent violence being meted out to the perpretrator of such a heinous deed. yet the source of moral ity Is daily polluted by the crime and little attention is paid to it. He read the law on the subject and urged its enforce ment.
 He charged the jury on concealed wea- pons and gambling. No mention was made of the railroad cases pending in the courts

The proposal Of the Harlan and

city vacata Justison street, thorough
fare that extends from its intersection
with the p, b. and w. railroad trasks
south of its intersection with Shipley
run in order that it can erect several
large concrete cur shops on the street
bed, was formally presented TO the
Street and Sewer Department this
morning AS the result OF opposition
by the Delaware Pulp Works, occupy
i'm ga tract on Marsh lane, near the
Christlana river, the proposal was laid
over utnil the meeting next Tuesday
at II o'clock. when the Harlan and
HOllingsworth Corporation the Dela-
ware Pulp Works and other concerns
interested viii be given hearing.
William Il. Budd, a representative of.
the corporation, appeared before the
department this morning with plan
Of the section Of the street proposed to
be vacated, and explained the object
OF the proposal. A letter from W. G.
Cox, president Of the corporation, ex-
planned that the company contemplated
making improvements TO its car-build-
ing plant, and requested the earnest
consideration of the commissioners as
to the closing of Justison street and
Marsh lane. where those thorough
fares pass through the property owned
by the corporation. The letter said:
"As matters exist at present those
streets divide our property and render
it impossible for us to undertake the
improvements on the scale we desire
'rhe corporation does not request the
shutting off Of Justison street from all
traffic to the south of it, but under the
plan submitted by the corporation, it Is
recommended that Madison street be
opened as far down as Shipley run and
then turned easterly TO the Marsh road,
whore a good roadway could be con-
structed.
sixteen thousand dollars is the city
assessment on the property the corpo-
ration now has on that street MT.

contaminated would increase to not
less than 100000.
THE objection Of the Delaware Pulp
Works to the proposal was contained

bury. Ponder & Curtis. OF No. 9O9 Mar
ket street. The letter said
"There are interests to be considered
Involved in the matter which viii de-
sire TO he represented i'm case you
should seriously consider any such ap-
plication. The matter Of closing a
street which is useful and necessary TO
