$1.00 THE YEAR IN ADVANCE

A, a citizen of jackson county or
der Whiskey shipped to him to
Whittier and sent B to Whittier
to bring the hiskey yto
him. and B brought the whiskey
back into Jackson county and de-
llvered to A, that B was guilty of
making a sale of whiskey; that if A
ordered whiskey shipped to Whit
tier III an amount not exceeding one
gallon and went to Whittier and re-
celved the whiskey himself and
used it himself. he would not be
guilty OF making sale of whiskey
he further called attention to the
fact that the Express Company
could not deliver whiskey to any per-
son except the person oroerine it,
without the certificate of reputable
physician, or the certicfate of two
citizens of good character that the
party to whom it was shipped, be-
cause of sickness or infirmatives of
age, could not appear in person and
receipt for it, which certificate must
be kept on file with the agent of
the Company; that the law required
the Express Company to keep books
showing the name of the party from
whom the whiskey was shipped, the
name of the party to whom it was
shipped, and the amount of Whiskey
shipped; that these books were open
to the inspection of any officer or
citizen by virtue of the law. He
instructed the grand jury to subpeo-
ma the Agent at Whittier to appear
before them and bring the books of
the Express Company and 1,ailroad
Compsny bearing upon the question
of the shipment of whiskey and to
investigate carefully whether the
Express Co. had been complying
with the statutes, whether any one
had received whiskey shipped to
some other party, and whether any
persons had received more than one
gallon of whiskey at one time, the
possession of one gallon being in
law prima facie evidence of intent
to sell. and to report the result of
their investigations to the Court.
We are informed that the grand
jury obeyed the Courts instructions
and did subpoena the Agent at
Whittier to appear. and that he did
appear with his books and papers.
We have no doubt but that the
grand jury Performed their duty
we'll; that the machinery of the law
has been set in motion and that
ere its wheels caase grinding those
who have been violating the law in
this respect will have contrite hearts
supported by quaking knees.
Before adjourning the Court.
Judge Carter proceeded to call the
entire civil docket with the view of
learning something of Its condition
and preparatory to the work of MAY
term. He ordered many of the
older cases which had been on the
docket for number of years placed
OF the trial calendar, and we were
impressed from Judge Carter's COM
ments that litigants may get ready
to try their cases at May term OF
have them dismissed from the docket

EXCELLENT CHARGE
TO grand JURY.


Court, and although the sessions of
Court only lasted a few days, he
disposed of all the criminal cases
and many civil cases, having sign
ed thirty-five final judgments in
civil causes. This is a record-break-
ing number of cases to be disposed
of finally even in a two weeks term
and it is expected that when he
has presided over the two weeks
May term, many important cases
will be removed from our now some
what congested docket. Judge Car
ter is pleasant but firm in presiding
over his Courts. Not only in his
charge to the grand jury. but from
time to time during the sittings of
his Court. he would give expression
to wise and helpful advice to all
who were present to hear. These
remarks were always full of patriot
ism, good common sense, and given
in a spirit of useful uplift to the
people.
In last weeks issue we gave a
very brief summary of some of the
excellent thoughts contained in
Judge Carter's charge to the grand
jury. The reader will be interested
to follow him more in detail.
After the grand jurors were duly
sworn, he entered at some length
of the duties of their newly assum-
ed office; pointing out clearly the
responsibilities which they had as
sumed, their relation to the court
and it's officers and their duty to
the public. Pointing out that mu III
of the peace, happiness and GOOD
order of the County depended upon
their faithful and conscientious dis
charge Of their duties as so clearly
defied by their oaths; that they
were reilly the gateway to the en-
fOrcement of the criminal laws of
the country; that under our system
of government, it was fundamental
that no crime of serious import
against the public or society could
be tried and suitable punishment
inflicted until their body had, after
due inquiry. returned an indict
ment endorsed a true DILL" thereby
finding by vote OF at leas
twelve of their number that proDa
bic cause existed to bring such de
fendant for arraignmenr ana trla
at the bal of the Court before {
jury of his peers. That in the pro
lection of society and the punish
ment of the wrongdoer, they were
the most important arm of the law
that their action was necessary t.
put the machinery of the law IL
motion; that their body was reall!
an inquisitorial one; that they woult
inquire into all alleged offenses o
which they had personal knowledg
or which might be brought to thei
attention by the Court or it's prose

ment, it was their duty to investi

SAID. as was sometimes the custom,
ne would not undertake to point
out In detail the numerous acts
which constituted offenses against
the criminal law; that he was con-
vlnced that this was unnecessary;
that the grand jury was a body of
intelligent men and knew when an
act had been committee which con-
stituted wrong against the public,
good morals, peace and dignity of
the community; that in their con-
science they knew the rule of right
and wrong and that this rule would
be a safe guidance in their deliber-
ations.
When Judge Carter had finished
his direct instructions to the grand
jury, he continued his remarks
speaking of the internal affairs of
Jackson County, her people and her
institutions. He at once became
deeply earnest and spoke with
wamth and feeling. He spoke as
one who sees us from the outside,
and freely and frankly, and the
listener was soon feeling that he
spoke not only as a neighbor but as
a brother who would promote our
whole we'll being. He spoke of our
citizenship and of the pure blood of
our people, being free from the ad-
mixture of the lower races; that
there is strength in good ancestors
\ and that this heritage should ever
be guarded to the end that our pos
terity might be strong. He COM
mended the citizenship of Jackson
County for the progress it had made
in education; that it was one among
the first counties to give its people
better schools, longer schools, bet
ter and more comfortable school
I h o Il s, and in this respect
had out-stripped many of the coun-
ties which were larger, older and
more able to provide these advant-
ages, and that all this spoke we'll
for the character of the citizenship,
not only at home but abroad. He
then said that jackson County was
making material end healthy pro-
gress along many lines of internal
improvement; that she was to be
commended in her efforts to build
better roads in the county; that he
was much pleased to note that some
: bonds had been sold, the proceeds
Of which were to be used in build
I ing good and permanent roads in
: the county; that education and good
: roads should 60 hand in hand; that
L neither could make real or substan-
a tial progress without the other; that

ment the majority ascertained at

and this alone lies the strength Of
our popular form of government.
Many issues of Weighty state and
national impor+ ance have been de-
clded by but small majorities at the
ballot box. They were preceded
by heated contentious and historic
and sometimes acrimonious debates.
An alien to our form Of government
would think we were rent asunder
but how soon does all this settle
back to normal, and why? Because
we, have long since learned that the
strength of our popular form Of
government and the life and fame
of her institutions depend upon ac-
cepting as final the majority as ex-
pressed at the ballot box. | read

During the progress of the court
Judge Carter announced that DR..
fJoyner would speak a. Webster on
the first Monday in March on the
question of establishing Farm
Life School at that place and ear
nestly urged the citizens of the
town to attend. He spoke of the
benefits of the Farm Life School
and said that Webster was an ideal
place for its location; that the school
would be greatly beneficial to Jack
son county and expressed his heart
lest wishes that such a school be es-
tablished at Webster; that the pre-
sent public buildings. already pub
lie property, could be used, with a
small cost of remobeling, to great
advantage to the people of the
county. He predicted great feast
in DR.. Joyner's address, not only in
behalf of this school. but for the
general good and uplift.
Judge Carter then inquired how
long it had been since we had had
a man in the county Jail, and COM
pared the few commitments which
had been made to the Jackson
county Jail with those of some
other counties, and said it may not
have occurred to you. but there is
a reason for it. What is the reason?
1t is because of your prohibitive
laws and strong. prohibition senti-
! ment; that Jackson county had
early taken decided and advanced
stand against whiskey and had per
haps the most effective prohibition
law of any county in the State; that
the real cause of the most of the
crime committed was whiskey; that
man loaded up with whiskey in
one pocket and a pistol in another
, was ripe for committing crime
With these two evils stamped out
: the probability and possibility OF
7 crime were greatly minimzed: that
Jackson had early taken an ad-
: vanced stand in restricting the Ii
