CIRCUIT COURT OVER.
Judge Holloway and Clerk Engle Acquitted by
 the Jury.

Possibly the most remarkable session of the Monroe circuit court ever held, terminated Tn Clarendon Tuesday afternoon.
 The court has been in session over three weeks and there was something doing" all the time.
 As an outcome of the shortage of County Treasurer Wallace Graham, several of our county officials and prominent citizens were indicted.
 County Judge s. T. Holloway and Circuit Clerk Jas. Engel, were both indicted on several charges for an alleged connec- tion with Treasurer Graham's S shortage. They were suspended from office pending their trial which they demanded at once. Judge Holloway was first tried on the charge of failing to re- ouire a settlement from Treas urer Graham. Of this charge he was acquitted as he was of the more severe ones. The same was the case with the trials of Clerk J James Engel, the court in- structing the jury to bring in a verdict of not guilty.
 Both of these officials were very promptly re-instated in of flee and are receiving congratu- lations from their friensd.

Boardman, Elias and Bondi.
 Hon. Eugene Lankford, Judge:
 We, the grand jury, respect fully make the following report:
 We find crime rampant in the county, from minor crimes to those of very serious nature. We have been diligently engaged in trying to uncover the offend CTS. and have in some measure succeeded, as the number ot bllls returned show. In the course ot our prolonged investigations we have found a number of things that should seriously engage the attention of the law abiding cltl- zens of the county. For the ln- formation of the court and cltl- zens generally we here enumer- ate a few things which go to show the total disregard of the law cn the part of a great num- Der of the citizens of the county.
 NIGHI
 For the want of a better name we designate the parties who have been engaged at night in cutting the wire fences around their neighbors' farms as night riders" In the eastern part of the county a large quantity o1 what is known as four wire fence" has been cut at night by parties to the grand jury un- known, in utter disregard of the property rights of their neigh bors and the law. We have had q number of witnesses before us, but have not succeeded in get ting sufficient evidence to locate the guilty parties. We there fore recommend that this matter be referred to the next grand iurv for further investigation.
 WHISKEY.
 We find that an enormous quantity of whiskey has been shipped into this county during the last campaigns, from Jan- uary 1. 1910, to March 30, 1910. We find that 623 quarts have been sent in during this period, and have no other idea than that this is only small percentage o1 the total shipments. We alst find that at least one murder has been committed that can be traced directly to drunkenness caused by whiskey, which we h ave good reason to believe wal | furnished by candidates.
 We further find, along this line, that our court house, In stead of being used exclusively as the seat of justice and place for the dispatch of the county'' business, has been used, whel lcourt was not in session, 1t seem! as a rendezvous for dispensing whiskey and other intoxicating liquors, to all those who seem in clined to indulge. This practic' has grown to such proportions

THE THREE WEEKS GRAND JURY.
This Record Breaking Body Found 99 Indictments. Makes Sensational Report Recommends that ScT|pf
 Be Called In.

1 that it is the common talk Of th2 town.
 Our county officers are more or less careless and negligent in the conduct of their various offices, and in some cases are criminally so.
 We find that a large amount of county scrip has been redeemed and before being cancelled has again been sold and thus put in circulation again, and will again be used in paying debts due the county if not discovered in time.
 We also find, from the evi- dence before us, that the county treasurer has between $2, ,OOO and S3. 900 worth of county scrip in safe in the office of the circuit clerk this office being also used by the county treasurer which scrip has disappeared entirely, and the grand jury has been un- able to find what became of it. In view of this state of affairs, we strongly recommend that the county court call in all county scrip at once for cancellation and reissue, to the end that all the fraudulent scrip which now seems to be in circulation may be retired.
 We find that county officers have not. as required by law, kept book showing their fees and emoluments in office, and we strongly recommend that in the future this be required of all of ficerS.
 COUNTY JAIL.
 We find the interior of the county jail in first-class condi- tion, clean and sanitary. We wish to state right here that we are very glad to find something in and about the county's affairs that we can find no fault with.
 RECOMMENDATIONS.
 We recommend that if it is possible legally to do so, that the county employ expert account ants to audit the books and ac- counts of the officers each year, and that the report of these ac countants be filed and made matter of record. We make this recommendation because, as we see it, it is impossible for the or dinary commissioners of accounts w ho are appointed annually by the court, to go into anything like thorough investigation of the books and accounts of the county officers within the short time al lowed by law for that purpose, and their reports are necessarily imperfect and misleading in m any instances, if not in all. l We further recommend that the grounds around the jail be cleaned up and the sewerage system, if it may be so called, be attended to at once.
 We also recommend that if it can be legally done, the county pay one- half of the expenses in- cured in having the books of the county treasurer investigat- ed by the accountants.
 i As heretofore stated. we recommend that the county court at once call in all outstanding scrip for cancellation and re-is- sue, so that any fraudulent scrip may be at once retired. As heretofore also stated, we rec ommend that the matter of the night riders" be referred to the next grand jury for further investigation.
