THE GRAND JURY
 MAKES REPORT
RETURNS 51 BILLS OUT OF A TO- TAI OF "A CASES INVESTIGATED. PROHIBITION LAWS ARE CON- MENDED IN PERRY COUNTY.

Marion, August 14-(Special )-The Perry county grand jury adjourned on Friday and have made their annual re- port to Judge Miller. The report shows the jury has secured tho largest num- Der of bills to the number of cases con- sidered in several years. Seventy-four cases were examined, 21s witnesses called and 6 true bills returned.
 The books of the county officers were casually examined and from appearances correct The recommendation is made that the board of county commissioners have the books examined independently of the state officers. This has been par tial1y carried out during the past year, all books being completed except the tax collectors, on which the examiners arc still at work.
 The poorhouse is in good condition. with nine inmates, two white and seven col ored. The county jail is reported ia first class condition.
 No improvement Is noted in the public roads, and 1t is recommended that a dif- ferent system of work be employed for same.
 In conclusion the report says: 'we find that there has been very great improve ment in the condition of the county since the closing of the dispensary, and we fully believe from what we have learned in this grand jury room that the general condition will steadily improve as time goes on The prohibition law Is being as well observed as any other law on the statute books. and with @ little more rl.w 4~~w~ -gAA la will be one of the most effective laws we have. We are pleased to note the al- most entire unanirnity of our people on this subject.''

Merritt Is Growing.

Few men in the senate have made them selves more generally felt than Senator Henry Merritt. He Is a man that believes in sticking to the crowd, and in practice of this he has voted and worked with the majority all the time. He may not have agreed always with the dominant wing, but he ran with 1t. as 1t is his crowd, and he is in a measure tied up with it. Like good democrat he sticks with his people and works hard for the leadership.

School Fund Question.

Reynolds. having in view an amendment to the constitution by which the state school funds will be distributed to the counties on a basis of attendance instead of population, has been killed in the sem ate committee, the state has not seen the last of the idea, 1t Is thought. For several years there has been complaint that the black belt, with it's large num- ber of negroes, has secured far more of the school fund than 1t should have, and the fact that a former school superin- tendent took several thousand names from a roll of black belt county is pointed out to prove this statement.

Whites Need Help.

The white counties need help. They have asked for compulsory education bill. but the rest of the state has voted 1t down. This has given rise to the be- lief that the Reynolds idea will be made an issue in coming campaigns. especially as some of the counties which pay the most of the school funds are deried the right to do what they think is best for them in the school ways. If the money should be divided in proportion to school attendance 1t is a safe guess that many that are now getting lots more than they use Judiciously would fall short.

Future of John,

Much has been said of the political fu- ture of John ". Overton, a solon of the upper house. It has been doped out that he would try to be lieutenant governor, and again that he might some day have shy at tho congressional honors. But these may all be on the wrong side of the situation. The latest suggestion is that he will seek to come next time to the house, and make the race for speaker of that body.

finds expression carry the conviction
that they are sound, and promise re-
