Circuit Court AdjournS.

Circuit court made its final adjourn
ment Thursday, after session of near
ly three weeks. Not great deal of i'm
portant work was disposed of, but quite
a number of minor cases, such as illicit
whisky selling, gaming. carrying con-
cealed weapons and the like, were tried.
Very little civil business occupied the
attention Of the court.
During its sitting the grand jury found
and returned 46 indictments. Many of
them were for selling whisky, several
for selling cocaine and a few each for
gaming and carrying concealed deadly
weapons. In its report the condition
of the Jail was referred to. The grand
jurors charged that the jail is in filthy
and unsanitary condition. that the walls
are black and despatched with tobacco
juice, the floors and corners are full of
dirt, etc.. etc. The further charge is
made that vermin exist in the oastile.
After reading the report we called on
Jailer Jones, who had heard of the
charge. Questioned about the condition
of the Jail, he said: I'VE scour the Jail
every Thursday morning from top to
bottom and sweep it every day. In the
summer we scour twice a week and
sometimes oftener, if il is necessary. l
