the thanks OF the court.
Judge Whitney complimented the
grand jury on the amount OF work
disposed d of by that body. The court
mas been able TO keep almost up with
the grand jury in the trial OF per-
sons indicted. In fact. most OF the
cid indictments and all the new ones
except two have been disposed Of.
and this is unusual in the work OF
q circuit court. or course not much
civil business has been attended to,
but special term of court will be
held during the summer to try civil
causes.
In regard to the recommendation
Of the grand jury that a criminal
court of record be established In this
county. Judge Whitney said that II
the circuit court at each term could
make as rapid progress as it has
made at this term, there would b.
no necessity for criminal court Oi
record. He said that when he first
became Judge of this circuit there
was so much old business undispOsed

that 1t would be necessary to estab

this county. but now since the cir
cult court has almost caught up wit.

a criminal court of record will mo-
be necessary. as to do SO would adj

LONG AND USEFUL LIFE,
AGED 81.
(By Associated Press.)

Washington. April l2.-Miss
Clara Barton, founder of the Amer
lean Red Cross Society, died at her
nome at Glen Echo. Md. this morn
ing. Her death was due to pneu-
monia with which she was stricken
a year ago. She was 81 years old.
Miss Barton was called the Flor
ence Nightingale of America such
were her many acts to relieve suffer-
ing in war and pestilence in disas-
ters. She was active not only in her
own land but other parts. She dis
tributed relief. after the Johnstown
floods, to survivors after the tidal
wave which struck South Carolina
and Florida. Miss Barton went to
Russia in 1892 to carry food to the
famine stricken. In 1896 she aided
Armenian families after the Turk
ish massacre.
When the yellow fever appeared
among the American troops In Cuba,
it was Clara Barton, who, at the re-
quest of President Mckinley, orga-
nized field hospitals and personally
visited the battle fields. Her last
work of national Importance was In
connection with the Galveston storm
in 1900. She was recognized both
at home and abroad with decorations
for her work for humanity.

General presentment of the Grand
Jury for the spring term of 1912; In
session from April I to IL, inclusive.
We, the Grand Jury called and en-
panelled for the spring term Of the
Circuit Court of the Tenth Judicial
Circuit in and for Polk County, Flor.
iCa.
Having completed our work of this
session by a complete and thorough
Investigation as possible of all mat
ters brought before us, we now at
the close of our deliberations make
this our general prescntment.
On as thorough an investigation as
possible under existing circumstances
in regard to the illegal sale of liz
aors within the county.
We find on examination of numer-
ous witnesses that while the larger
amount of crime connected Is due to
whiskey, yet we find that in nearly
every case it is due to the shipment
| of package liquor into the county.
We have also found that there arc
very few cases showing the carrying
of concealed weapons, but that In
nearly every instance shot guns wer'
used.
We believe there should be some
law enacted regulating the carryins
of fire arms by negroes as It is al
dangerous q weapon In their hand
as either a rife or revolver.
We do find on thorough investi
CATION the principal cause OF crim'
in Polk county is due to transient
lor the floating population In ou
mines and turpentine camps. havinl
no doubt that many Of these tran
sients have shady records In thei
former homes.
We have visited the county jai
and find 1t kept neat and clean AM
thoroughly disinfected. That tn
prisoners are we'll satisfied with thei
food. Will suggest that three circu
