GRAND JURY REPORTS
 o NLIQUOR SELLING

Jackson, Miss, December 30.-(Spe- cial 1.-The Hinds county grand jury made final report this afternoon and adjourned. They have examined 235 witnesses and returned 192 true bills. They declare that they find the laws in regard to unlawful retailing of in toxicating liquars have been most fla grantly violated in the city of Jack son and in other parts of the district. Some of the places where liquors are sold have been running almost open. It is therefore urged that the police inaugurate a system of continuous raids on places suspected of having in them intoxicating liquors for sale. We be- lieve," says the jury, that if contin- uous raids, daily if necessary, are made on these places by the police, they cannot continue to run"

NEW PROCBDUREIN
 CRIMINAL COURTS
n. l.. WILLIAMS SAYS ACTION OF FEE SYSTEM WILL NOT BECOME OPERATIVE FOR SOME YEARS. HIS PROPOSED LAW
To the Editor of the Age-Herald.

To the Editor of the Age-Herald.
 Recently I was very much gratified to note that the commercial bodies of the district, cooperating with our repre- sentatives, would endeavor at the coming session of our legislature to bring about the repeal and abolition of the fee system in Alabama. To you, who through the medium of your paper have labored so long, steadfastly, earnestly and unselflsh- ly to bring about the repeal of the sys- tenn, this moveme.lt must be peculiarly gratifying. Other and lesser lights have risen, hared and shone brightly for time, demanding it's repeal, only to dwin- dle and disappear in darkness and appar- ent oblivion; but The Age-Herald, for many years the main champion in the cause of repeal. has stood forth as bea- con whose unflinching rays have pierced and exposed the methods of this dark system which has so long stained and dis enored the good name and fame of our fair state, and when repeal comes, as come 1t will, the greater credit therefor will surely lie at the door of The Age Herald.
 l have also noted with a shadow of re- great that the moving cause which it
The Birmingham age-herald., 1910-12-31

seems is stimulating our commercial bodies to attempt a repeal of this sys- tenn is the injury to our industries-ap- parently not taking into account the in- justice, the inhumanity, the suffering and despair which chills the hearts and blanches the cheeks of those helpless ones who come within it's toils-but verify the ways of providence are mysterious.
 If the system be repealed by the com ing legislature it's beneficial effects, as we know, cannot be felt for several years to come, as such change cannot affect the compensation and emoluments of those now in cffice. For this reason I have pre- pared a bill to further regulate the pro- cedure in the criminal courts of the state, which I shall present to one of our repre- sentatives with the request that it be pre- scented for passage. The first section of this bill gives to the judiciary of the state greater power as to the disposition of tenn of parole. Other sections of the bill provide for changes in our criminal pro- cedure which think are of great impor- tance and should be enacted into law Every section, with reference to its sub ject, provides for a change of the law as 1t now exists. I enclose a copy which you are at liberty to publish if you see fit In fact, will be pleased if you will do so in order to invite discussion as to the merits of the bill. Very truly,
 R. L. WILLIAMS.
