some IMPORTANT
|. RECOMMENDATIONS,
Of GRAND JURY
New Industrial School on
St. Simon is Strongly
Condemned
NEW CITY school IS URGED
Again the Jury Recommends That a
New Jail is One Of the countys
Greatest Needs just at
Present Time.

The grand jury for l. 1Iay term
of the superior court kned yes-
terday afternoon and N4sSA ApresoaI- +.
ments. which are publishe in fuu
elsewhere in The News, IRE read
in open court and some Y impor-
taGsecommendations wed made
The Jury, like many others, CON
demned the condition of the pres
eat county Jail and urged upon the
commissioners to use every eHorc
TO secure q new jail at as earlier
date as possible. Many iuries in
me past have made the same recon-
mendation, and it is expected that,
should the bond election TO be held
next week carry, work on the new
jail win begin at once.
The grand jury also took occas
ion TO strongly endorse ths erection
Of a high school in Brunswick, but
the industrial school now being err
ected on ST. Simon was strongly con
damned by the body The iprg Is
of the opinion that there is no heed
for the school at present The Site
for the school was also condemned,
the jury believeing it to be isolated
and the soil tco poor even if it was
considered advisable to establish an
industrial school in the county at
this time
Another important recommendation
made by the jury was that compe-
ten bookkeeper from some welI known
auditing company should be employed
to visit the county at intervals Of
several months and examine the
books of the county officers, not that
they are not properly kept at pres
ent, but owing to the fact that the
members of grand juries are not
bookkeepers and do not have the
necessary time to thoroughly exam
inc the books.
Reports were made on all the pub
lie buildings of the county the con
yict farm, etc, and some important
recommendations concerning these
places were made.
City council was requested to pass
an ordinance giving the police de-
partment power to arrest and re
move disreputable characters in the
city when complaints are fed against
them
A number of other matters of gen
eral interest to the county were men
toned by the jury and altogether
the presentments will be found OF
great interest and should be read
by every taxpayer Of the county.

JUDGE PARLE2
UPHOLDS The Nv
HE MADE A STRONG ADDRESS
TO THE GRAND JURY HEs-
TERDAY AFTERNOON.

In discharging the grand jury Of
the superior court yesterday after
noon for the term, Judge T. A. Par.
ker delivered an address which
should have been heard by every
citizen Of Brunswick. 1t was a
heart to heart" talk anent the on
forcement of the laws OF the state.
and, with his eyes filed With tears,
the able iurist pleaded with the peo
pie to see that the laws are better
enforced, and guilty people are con
yicted and that every citizen should
have a higher regard for the laws
ot the state of Georgia.
The court room was Wen crowded
when Judge Parker addressed the
Grand jury and his speech was lis
tened to with great interest
Judge Parker stated that the tlmo
had arrived when the laws OF the
state must be enforced; that it is
time the people of the community
should realize the danger which is
the result Of the non-enforcement OF
he laws, and he pleaded with those
present to assist the courts to that
end
Judge Parker said that human life
was entirely too cheap in this com
try that a man could take the life
OF another these days, patch up some
kind Of an excuse of temporary in
sanity "brainstorm, etc. and 20 be
fore the courts and get clear n
that a patched up defense could pc
made with the result chat man
guilty Of murder cold-blooded muf
der is allowed to so free. He said
it was time TO call a halt TO This
,nd Of violation Of the laws
Judge Parker said he had worked
for the enforce nent OF these laws
ever since he was elected as Judge
OF this circuit; at times he thought
he had done some little good, ana
then again it seemed as if his efforts
had been Of no good whatever lie
said if the lax in their enforcement
was due 10 him he was ready 10 re
SIGN and step out if another man
who could see that the laws were ye
spected could be put on the bench
The Judge dwelt upon this subject
for some little time, and If his ad-
dress could have been heard by every
citizen of Georgia it would have
been of great benefit He said that
in this country $50 men were killed
to every three in the dominion Of
Canada, due to the fact that mar-
derer after murderer is acquitted
when he should be convicted lie
did not recite any particular case as
an example, but said that he held
court almost every day, and that he
was in position to see how many
criminals get their freedom when
they should be punished
The talk Of Judge Parker was
strong one in the interest of law
and order, which he termed the great
est thing in the world, and he urged
a rigid enforcement of the laws in
Glynn county and everywhere.

Closing.

Kansas City, Dec. 9.-Adolphus
Busch, the millionaire brewer of St.

here today with saying he favored
local option and partial Sunday clos
ing.
Il am in favor Of local option, "
said Mr.. Busch in reply to the ques-
ton Of a newspaper man. IF a sa'
loon is obnoxious to a community it
should be voted out.
CAS- to Sunday closing, I have a
plan that should meet with universal
approval It is this: Close the saloon
from midnight Saturday until p. m.
Sunday, and then let them open. That
would give every one an opportunity
to go to church in the morning..
The widespread prohibition move
ment was viewed with some alarm
by Mr.. Busch.
Its spreading all over the south, y
he said, "and even Oklahoma went
prohibition. That cost me a million
dollars"

THE CHOIR
ESTATE
Judge AlbertsOn Appoints General
Administrator for Melody Choir
PpODprty.

Judge R. B. Albertson yesterday
appointed Harry Watson, of the Be-
ney-WatsOn Co., general administra-
tor of the Melody Choir estate, with
bond of SIS 900. James Moran
and Chas. H. Horton were appointed
executors of the estate under the
terms of Choir's will, but when the
will was set aside, after Choir was
found to have been insane by jury
in Judge Albertson's court, the con-
testant, Mrs. Elizabeth Melchoir, pc
titioned for the appointment of Wat
son. The estate has now been di-
verted from the purposes designated
by Choir, and from the executors he
appointed. There will be no mauso-
leum for the dog "Hobo, nor for
Choir; no electric clock tower, no
inscription in all the modern Ian
guages, Here Lies Melody Choir, !"
and Hobo" will not be stuffed and
placed at the entrance to the tomb,
with an iron fence around him TO
keep the boys from teasing him.
"HobO," or all that remains of him,
following his experiences beneath
the wheels of street car, is now re-
posing in a tin wash boiler on the
lots belonging to the Choir estate,
at Broadway and Marion street, Sc
attic, and will be left undisturbed.
Choir's body is in the refrigerator
at the Bonney-Watson undertaking
parlors, and will be given interment.
He died December 16, 1906.
