Lincoln County
To the Hon. M. Fl. Wilkinson,
Judge of the Sixth Judicial Dis
trict. including Lincoln county
We, your Grand Jury, having
been impaneled, sworn and charged
to inquire in and for Lincoln coun-
ty. at the May Term Of the Circuit
Court, 1909, beg leave to make
this, our final report. We have
been in session eight days, we have
examined 217 witnesses; we have
reported SO true bills; we have ig-
nored 27 cases and referred four
cases to the justice of the peace !;
we have diligently inquired into all
the violations of the law. brought
to our attention and acted on same
honestly and to the best Of our
ability. We find that the graver
crimes are on the decrease in the
county and the county as whole,
considering its population, is in
fairly good shape. We find the un-
lawful sale Of Intoxicating liquors
the leading crime among the mis-
demeanors. and while it is no
worse, perhaps. we find very little
change for the better. We appeal
to the tax payers Of the county and
to every Iaw-abiding citizen, es-
pecialIy in the city of Brookhaven,
to lend a helping hand in stamping
|out this nefarious practice. It is
unjust to the law-abiding citizens
and tax payers of the county to
have to bear the heavy expense of
running court to try negroes and
worthless white people for selling
blind tiger Whiskey. IF every good
|citizen and tax payer in the city OF
Brookhaven and in Lincoln county
would make it his personal business
to aid in stamping out this viola
tion of the law, it would save them
thousands Of dollars each year aside
from the moral good that it would
lido. We, therefore. appeal to the
people to begin to think Of what It
costs them for these negroes and
worthless white people to continue

1908, but by an appeal to the
Supreme Court it was reversed by
that tribunal on the alleged grouno
that material new evidence hac
been discovered for the defense
AS the case was reversed on this
showing it was a matter of surprise
when the attorneys for the defense
signifed their readiness to accept 6
verdict of guilty and a life sentence
rather than gointo new trial. The
trial of this case was expected tc
consume a day and a half or two
days when it was set, and when il
was disposed of as above the court
having no other case ready, ad.
journed for the day.
Other cases disposed of up to
Tuesday night, after The Leaders

on appeal from the Mayors court
on charge of retailing, and the
jury promptly returned a verdict of

A jury, after hearing the evil
dence, promptly convicted ]. w.

June apparently despaired of ever
competing successfully with her sister

pile tragedy on tragedy. On the first
of the month an accident on the Amur
river in China resulted in 50 deaths,
and Is was added to the days roll by
a flood in Mexico. On the fourth a

wiped out go lives, and two days aft
erward another cyclone burst in Ne

As far as America was concerned
July was the most merciful month of
the year. Fifty-two lives was the en-

more than compensated, however, by
