millions to endow societies to publish
It, and these wealthy societies with all
their endowments can not print 1t as

Is 1t not strange that she does not place

A Review of Our Jury System

Dear Mrs FELTON,: 1 was never prouder
to see anything in a newspaper than
was to see your article in regard 70
the jury system. I was on the jury
once when IL men of the IL did not
know the plaintiff from the defendent-
in deciding the case 1 was in the court
room a few years ago when the judge
had to call on one of the lawyers to
write the verdict for the jury. / will
mention one other case equal, IL not,
worse than the Michal case, where re-
spectacle young lady called on the law
for protection and got a true bill for
assault and battery.
The drunken solicitor told the jury
that the outlaw did no more than any
other gentleman would have done II ne
had caught a pretty girl at the spring
washing. That same solicitor was elect
ed to congress and also judge of the SUI
perior court. He may be filling some
office today but surely think he should
be working out a sentence somewhere.
There is but one way to revise the jury
and that is to do away with the jury
box and elect two or three intelligent
gentlemen to take the place of twelve
Internal fools-then hold the jury re-
sponsible for their official acts and do
away with all pardoning power, as IL
now stands. ! had rather spit on
erty or property than submit my case
to any twelve men ever drawn from
jury box. II you are fortunate enough
to get one or two intelligent gentlemen
on your case it's the lawyers prerogative
to strike them off. and you can't help
yourself Men seldom resort 10 the shot
gun unless they have been denied fair
and impartial trial by a jury. In such
cases the solicitor, judge and jury ought
to be tried and convicted for murder and
the man that done the killing ought to
be acquitted.
Glass legislation would not be worth
the flip of your finger without a solicit
tor, judge and jury to enforce the law in
favor of plutocracy.
Please devise some plan to raise money
enough to furnish the legislative hall
of Georgia with the best French looking
glass and keep your letter on their
desk in order that our lawmakers may
have a chance to see themselves as 9TH

Dear Mrs FELTON,: Seeing letters from

my stammering way, as briefly as pos
sible, some of my experiences in the serv-
ice of my country. I was mustered in

my leg July 9. 1864, while engaged in
the battle of Monocacy Junction, under
Generals Breckenridge and Early in last
battles of the valley of Virginia.
I was never in the hospital until I lost
my leg, in all three years and one days
service I was in all the battles from the
seven days fight below Richmond in
1862, until lost my leg The command

Manaujnu Children

Edwin Gould is one of the sons or the
late Jay Gould, the shrewd ftnanc1er aho
manager of politicians in Washington
city
Edwin has a 15-year-old son, Ed
win Gould, Jr. This young Edwin was
put to school at Pomfret, and not like
ing his surroundings he ran away and
being scarce of pocket change he was
discovered somewhere, without money
and in dismally bedraggled condition:
Some good Samaritan rescued the
boy from hunger and sent him on his
railroad way to his parents.
What he met at home is not recorded
but the youth has been returned to Pom
fret school by his father and admon-
ished to behave better in future
have scored one, for Edwin, Sr., AND
it was a good lesson to the younger Ed
win, whether he profits by it or other
wise.
There are some hundreds of youths
who also run away from school who
have no rich parents like the Goulds
and whose names fail to get in the news
papers like the runaway Gould boy, be-
cause they are not rich and are there
fore not noticeable.
But there are a great many of such
truants who are not returned to school
and who are backed up in disobedience
by their mistaken parents.
1 have noticed the Gould incident to
emphasize the spirit of disobedience and
disrespect to older people, which prevails
in this land of ours-among the younger
ones.
l think 1t is one of the reasons why
so many boys and girls resolve to gel
away from home at the first opportunity
and 1t is a solid reason why such young
men and women are continually dissatis-
fled with their surroundings-in later
| life.
Discipline is good for all children. They
are like young plants; they must be Gull
tivated and fastened to supports, to be
of much use in the world. A child thai
grows like a rank weed and is allowed
