prevailing sentiment itself is against

1t is an unfortunate condition, too
unfortunate for Charleston and
unfortunate for tho State at large
The country looks to the grand jury
rooms OF the various counties as the

taken in safeguarding the rights of
the law-abiding body Of citizens, and
when such "farces" as the one noted
last week in Charleston are perpe-
trated within the walls Of the grand
jury room Of any county Of the State,
the Commonwealth as a whole must
bear part Of the stigma that at
hes to such proceedings.
But Charleston does not look for
