self, or any other Grand Juror may
have said, or in what manner he OF

The Court gave the following stat

Drunkenness in Ofice--Secs. 2S6l-3.
Recording of Deaths and Births,
29S3-7.
And now for a word to account for
my not having called a Grand Jury
earlier in the year. Let me say that
the delay was not caused by the want
of work to be done, nor of the need
of necessary Investigations to be
made by such a body. 1t had been
my custom to call a Grand Jury from
four to six months earlier than the
present date, and should have fol-
lowed that custom this year were 1t
not for the existence of certain cir
cumstances and conditions in this
county beyond my control.
The circumstances and conditions
| refer to are now at an end ana
shall not be further referred to by
me. have said the postponement
was not caused by lack of Grand
Jury business, as the reports re-
ceived by me from the Sheriff's Of
fee as well as from other sources
made it plain there We're ample reaS-
ons to believe the criminal laws OF
this State were not being as strictiy
enforced in this county as they might
have been. For instance--lt was re-
ported to me by the Sheriff ana MS
deputy that the serious charge Oh
perjury required investigation; that
the charge of cattle stealing required
investigation; that there was reason
to believe more than n burglary
had been committed within the year.
in this town, uninquired lnto' Una
assault and batteries had been com
mitted and passed over without ser
ious consideration, and that otner
alleged offenses required and require
investigation at your hands, Upon
consultation with the County Com,
m~issioners, the Attorney General o.
our State was requested to come mere
for the purpose of assisting you IN

Partial Report Made

The Grand Jury came into court
at noon to-day and made a partial
report. This report is understood to
have found one indictment, but as
the Sheriff had made no return up to
3 O'Clock this afternoon, the SENTI-
MEL is unable to obtain any portion
of the Grand Jury's action for to-
DAVIS issue.

your DELIBERATIONS and, let me say
it to his credit, that that public off
Ger in the promptest manner COM
piled with the request, and as a con
sequence has sent his deputy to Eu-
reka to assist you in all legitimate
ways.
Gentlemen: | do not believe. in
further charging you as to your du-
ties, abetter course could be adopted
than to recall to your minds the oath
administered to you by the Clerk
upon your empanelment, and par
ticularly to the concluding sentence
of that oath, which is as follows:
You will present no person
through malice, hatred or i'll will,
nor leave any unpresented through
fear, favor, or affection, or any re-
ward, or the promise or hope there
of; but in all your presentments you
will present the truth, the whole
truth, and nothing but the truth,
according to the best of your skill
and understanding, SO help you God"
The Grand Jury which follows and
observes the solemn injunctions con-
tanned in this last sentence of the
oath taken by them, can not fail to
do their duty, and unless a strict
compliance with the same be carried
out, a failure of duty must be the
inevitable result. Whilst engaged
in that most serious of duties--the
investigation of the question of the
performance of their duties by pub
lie officers, no less than in the investi-
CATION of actual charges of criminal
ity against any and all persons, the
responsibility that rests on the shout
ders of a grand jury, is great indeed.
And, first of all, let me say that the
utmost impartiality should be the
key note of your labors and delibera-
ton, for without impartiality your
labors would be a farce and an insult
to the majesty of the law. 1t is
hardly necessary for me to say to
you that, without a strict, a rigidly
strict and impartial administration
of the law, which means justice to
all, irrespective of person, party,
creed or condition, courts and law
cannot have, and are not entitled to
have that respect which is a prime
factor in the maintenance of law,
order and the well-being of the COM
munity.
shall not detain you longer than
to say my confidence in your follow
ing the instructions Ihave given you,
and the law enjoins, is of a high or
der. You may now retire.

four miles from Savannah, Hardin
county, was in Columbia this week,
and made a couple of purchases of
fine saddle horses One of these he
bought from Tom Wakefield and the
other from Britt Davis. Both are of
the best breeding and stylish fellows
and will make a good impression
wherever shown.
This is not Mr.. Williams first trip
to Maury for good stock. He was
here during the latter part of the
fall and took two good ones back to
the Tennessee river country with
him, and he says he is coming again
during the summer, Mr.. Williams
says the interest in better stock, par
ticularly good horses, is growing as
no other interest in that country
He says the principal trouble is the
prices, but that the people are fast
realizing that well bred horse is
worth eminently more more than the
plug and are more readily paying
these good prices than heretofore
