Now let's see # We could manage
to catch up wl,h this $4,000 m
debtedness. One OF the greatest
sources Of our scrip, is the ekpen-
siye circuit courts. The pres
enl grand jury system Is al ex

Lets insis, upon a deputy prosccu.

county, until we can get
chance at the constitution aud
get county attorneys, and try ont all
misdemeanOrs in the justice courts,
and prevent them from coming 10
aud through the grand jury 20 the
circuit court.
At the grand jury, the defendant,
however much defense he may have,
is not heard until he is indicted and
brought before the circuit court for
trial. About half the indictments
are noll pressed at the cost Of about
$50 90 each to the state Of Avian.
sas, which amounts to about
si5OO.oo per year. Twe-thirds Of
the balance of the indictments for
misdemeauors upon trial come clear,
as is shown by tho records Of the
courts, at an average cost to the tax
payers of Randolph county Of
s2000.0 90 per year.
Now this makes total cost Of
ss5oo.00 in the trial of ms.
demeanors IN the circuit court.
Nov what we want to do Is to
Affect by proper legislation snch
charge IN the fundamental law, as
70 keep these misdemeanors away
from the circui, court except those
that may come up by proper ap-
peal. Try them out in the iuslise
comts by the aid Of deputy prose
uting attorney, until we can get
county attorneys.
Now when this Is done iuslesd OF |
the grand jury lasting six or tigLs
days 1t will finish all ITS work m
three days and go home. The CIR.
cult court instead Of running three
weeks, it will get through in two
weeks.
THIS Is no new and untrIed meth
Cd. 1t is coming to be the pre-
vailing system in most Of the states.
1t is the c'se in our sister state
Missouri. Now let's see what ef-
feet upon the expenses Of our CIR.
cult court this plan would have.
As 1t now stands we have lo
grand jurors paid $500 in scrip
and IL remains IN session about
days at a cost Of about $500 90
clerks and all. "a petit jurors
$500 per day IN scrip for ls days
equals sl2e2.OO which added to
$4,000 make total of si5ss cost
of grand and petit jurors. Two
courts per year equals ssIsfo0, to-
tai cost of both iuries. Now sup
P 'se we pay all these jurors 81 90
per day IN cash, and granting that
the grand jury would get through

my fellos citizens in regard to pub

every stump in the county, that
Randolph county spends annually
upon her roads aud bridges right
around $4,000 This Is only ap-
proximated a. this amount Is OBJ
tainei by adding to the cash paid,
sa.oo in money or work Of each cit
ixen subject TO road duty in The
county. | submit without arga-
ment that something near 1000 men
become subject TO road duty each
year IN Randolph county. Do We
get that much road value under the
present system
Now have insisted on every
stump that It would be a great thug
for our county TO have the benefit Of
the road improvement district law
found on page lte5, Act No. ss5 Of

not placing Randolph under this
law when counties of our state
went under this law when 1t was

page ard act above referred TO, and
Mr.. jackson tries to excuse HIM
self by saying that this county was
lsft out from under that law when
Il was passed. because Of petitions
sent up TO Mr. Ruff in the legisla
ture M 1907. have asked from
every stump for the hands Of voters
who ever sigued, knew, saw or
heard Of these petitions, aud not

we will but get our system IN snch
shape as to proceed.
The Legislation is already enacted
md all we have 10 do is to place our.
selves in shape TO avail ourselves Of

Now as'to scrip. Scrip is moth

Why fellow citizens, there are

Dead.

w. I. Humphrey, one of the ten
men sentenced to be shot at Pal
myra during the late Civil War but
was released after it was discovered
that he had been released from
prison by Porters men and did not
leave, died at Shelbina last Satur-
day Nov. 7th. and his funeral SER
mon was preached at the Baptist
Church at 3 p. m. Sunday to a
very large congregation of friends
and relatives from different parts
of the country. W. T. Humphrey
was father of Senator Humphrey.
He was a devout christian man
and had been member of the Bap-
fist Church 62 years and a deacon
most of the time. He left eleven
children and many grand children
to mourn their loss. 1t was no
loss to him but much gain. The
writer who had been his pastor for
many years preached the funeral
sermon to a full house. 1t seemed
to me that no set of children ever
had greater confidence in a father
and in the midst of their great loss
seemed to have joy inexpressible
that he had at last reached the God
of his long expectancy. The
Masons took charge at the cemetery
! and the ceremonies were very i'm

Another. Yes. indeed. In fact, l
proposed to my husband. / saw

Another: "Of course women should

IF women proposed, there would
be fewer unhappy marriages. AS
things are, men can choose from
their entire set of women. Women
can choose only from those who
propose to them. If women pro-
posed more of them would marry
the man they really wanted to mar

Special Coins For The San Fran
cisco Fair.

Following the precedent estab-
lished in connection with important
expositions, it is expected that Con-
gress will soon authorize an issue of
special coins for the Panama-Pacific
Exposition. and a bill has already
been introduced providing for an
issue of special ascent silver pieces
for this purpose.
This will be the fourth time that
special coins have been issued on
account of expositions, the first
occasion being the Worlds Fair at
Chicago, when the Columbian half
dollars and quarter dollars were
coined. In 1904 dollars in honor
of the Louisiana Purchase EXPOSE
ton at ST. Louis were coined, while
in 1905 there was a special issue of
silver dollars in honor of the Lewis
and Clark Exposition at Portland,
