Abuse of the Jury Box.

From Fl. Gains Sentinel
The Telegraph does not know all
the merits of the matter for which
Judge Spence excoriated the Baker
county jury that acquitted a deputy
sheriff and another citizen of offense
in visiting the house ofan aged ne
gro and maltreating him and mem
bers of his family, but the case
must have been d glazing miscar-
riage of justice to provake a judge
to utter such sentiments form the
bench or to justify him in doing so.
That glaring miscarriage of JUS
tice through the failure Of juries
to observe the obligation of their
oath are neither unknown nor I'M
common the Tele graph is aware
Rand congratulates society and the
state on the evidence cropping out
from time to time that there are
Judges on our bench who WILL not
sit dumb and see these things done
without indignant and righteous
protest.
It'll the province of a jury to
deal with the facts in q case. In
finding these the jury is supreme,
within the restriction of the jurors
oath to find in accordance with the
law as given them by the judge
and the evidence.
Judges do not often openly quar-
rel with juries on the score OF their
verdicts and no judge careful OF
his own interests, reputation or
dignity will lightly do it. But
there is no one better situated or
qualified to judge of the facts in a
case before him than the trained
occupant of the bench, and where
there can be no mistake, where no
mistake is even pretended-in the
circumstances of an outrage, but
only a bare assertion of innocence
returned by the jury as the result
of refusing to apply the law to the
facts, as appears to have occurred
in the Baker county case, a judge
must be either more or less than a
man to sit silent and rot rebuke
the reckless blow thus dealt to So
ciety itself.
There is do more fruitfulsource of
crime than the jury box itself
where jusies deliberately disregard
the law and the evidence in cases
and find verdicts as their sympa.
thies or inclinations may dictate.

From the Cordele Sentinel.
On last Tuesday evening at the
opera house the young ladies of the
town, under the direction of Mrs.
HolIibaugh and under the auspices
of the local chapter of the U. ID.
c., gave one of the most extrava-
CANT ami one of the most interest
ing performances which Cordele
has ever known.
1t was sparkling and unique
from beginning to end. Every num-
Der was catchy and yielded some
unexpected point of amusement
and delight. The whole thing was a
departure from the ordinary, and
how well the novelty of the thing
appealed to the pubic sentiment
was attested by a house crowded
even to unavailable standing room.
Expectation was high and al nost
tense, and that it was not disa-
pointed was demonstrated by the
frequent and hearty applause.
It is very seldom that human
eyes are greeted by fairer scene
of youth and splendor than that
which presented itself as the cur
tain rose on the grand march.
Beauty seemed to concentrate itself
there in such luxuriant profusion
of handsome women and fair hlaid
ems that the audience could but sit
spellbound, hard to realize that it
was Cordele's-all her own.
Each firm was represented by d
girl wearing a shield with the
name of the firm thereon. Each
costume was appropriately decora
ted in gorgeous suggestive trim

Liquor Quit Tennessee
July |, 1909

Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 14.-The
bill to prohibit the sale of in
toxicating liquor in Tennessee pass
ed the lower house of the general
assembly last evening by vote OF
81 to Sc. Fifty votes is a majority.
The measure now goes to Cover
nor Patterson. He is expected to
veto it, but under the constitution
his veto only acts as suggestion.
The governor is only allowed to
hold bill five days. If at the
expiration of this time it has not
been returned to the assembly it
becomes law without his sigma
ture.
The bill provides that prohibi-
tion shall become effective July /,
1909.
The temperance forces are jubi-
liant over the passage Of the bill
and last night meetings were held
in many parts of the state.
The battle attending the passage
of the prohibition bill was probab-
ably the fercest ever known in the
Tennessee house Representatives.
For almost five hours it was waged
the administration forces contest
ing every inch of the ground.
The real tug of war came with
the assembling of the afternoon
session ahd was waged until the
final passage of the bill at 6:15
o'clock.

There is no longer any certainty OIL
even rule for Furnishing crime, and
the man with a wicked and deprav-
ed heart quickly realizes he is free
to pursue his vicious propensities
SO long as he keeps on the good
side of the element from which the
| juries are drawn.
The above from the Macon Tele-
! graph is the spirit that seems to
pervade the press of the state,
But does this criticism reach far
enough? Do we not need some
radical amendments to the jury
system in this state? If we do,
what must be their character?
We are of the opinion that the
jury system needs but one thing
done to it, and that is to make it
a body of example. The petit jury
is shaped largely, in it's findings by
the spirit of the grand jury, and
the grand jury Is controlled only
by it's obligation which ism a great
measure a matter preservation.
When the grand jury feels at
liberty to make mental reservati'
ons as to it's obligation, and it's
action becomes so apparent to the
world as to excite commet, what
can be expected of the petit jury,
which tried the cases brought in
to court by the upper body? 1t
simply becomes a judicial farce.
To get right down to business,
let the court summon sufficsent
number Of grand jurors to put
them on trial, as in criminal cases.
When they appear in court let
them answer the following ques-
tions propounded by the court, and
let the grand jury be made up IN
accordance;
1. Do you at any time carry a
pistol concealed on your person!
2. Do you habitually carry
concealed pistol?
3. Have you in any way assisted
or countenanced any gambling
schemes?
4. Are you an habitual card play
er?
5. Have you in any way assist
ed in violating the prohibition law
either in person Or by proxy?
6. Are you in full sympathy
with, and do you expect to expect
the prohibition lawg
