McCREARY COUNTY
GRAND JURY REPORT
MCCREARY CIRCUIT COURT
October Term, 1914.

October Term, 1914.
To the Honorable F. d. Samp-
son, Judge of the McCreary Cir
cult Court:
We the Jury empaneled by you
on the 26th day of October, 1914,
have completed our work and beg
to report that we have investi-
gated all the cases coming under
our attention. There were two
jail cases to be investigated at
this term of the court; on the
whole we have returned but few
indictments and find that the
boot Logging business and liquor
traffic in this county has been al
most entirely stopped and after
investigating all other Irregular
ties before US we examined the
court house and county building
to which you called our attention,
and we find the court house is
kept in reasonably good condition;
the county Jail is also
kept in very good condition
considering the circumstances.
We desire however to call the
attention of the county officials
to the fact that the heating FACT
lities of the Jail do not seem to
be adequate for cold weather and
that in the condition it is kept at
present there is some danger
from fire. We find no Irregular
ties in the records of the county
officers and as a whole we find
the conditions of the county re-
cords, law violations in comenda-
BILE condition. There is a marked
difference in this respect since
the creation of the county. Up
to this time we indorse the in
structions of the court to the
Grand Jury, especially on the
liquor traffic, and feel sure that
if the past and present policies
of the Court are carried out we
will have one of the best counties
morally and otherwise in our
State. Nothing futher having
come under our observation we
beg to be finally excused.
Respectfully submitted to the
Court. A. Bryant, Foreman.
Mountain advocate., 1915-06-04

in confined appeared to be well
treated. We have also investi-
gated the courthouse and find the
same in only a lair condition and
badly in need of some improve
ments in the matter of additional
rooms for use of the Circuit Court
and for county officers. We re-
commend that the Fiscal Court
of Witty County Immediately
take up the proposition of building
an addition to said Court house
and Of placing in the Courthouse
a suitable modern heating system
for supplying heat throughout the
entire Courthouse.
We, as a Grand Jury futher en-
dorse the past efforts of the Cir
cult Court Judge and Common
wealth's attorney in putting a
stop TO the use of money and
whiskey for the purpose of in
fiueng.ng votes in elections and
we futher believe that this posi-
ton Oh the part of tae Circuit
court and its officers have before
been conducive 20 great good in
the holding of fair and honest
elections by the condemning,
eliminating of these evil inhu-
encs and while there has been no
immediate election for this Grand
Jury to investigate yet, we have
stood ready and willing to lend
our assistance and efforts in CO.
Operations to this end. We
futher recommend that all Grand
.uries cmpanolcd in the future be
instructed especially TO investi-
gate this evil, if any exists, so
that the attention of the people
and the public can and may be
brought to the fact that this dam
aging practice of buying and SELL
ing votes and tratficing with
money and whiskey in election
may never again be practiced
within the confines of this county

the future be spared the humilia-
ton and disgrace which has been
the lot of a Sister Mountain coun-
ty of eastern Kentucky, a large

AN UNCONVENTIONAL WAR

When The Hague conventions We're
first published they were very i'm
pressive. The unsophisticated reader.
as he went through the various ar
ticles, felt that the horrors which had
characterized previous wars would be
greatly mitigated i'm future conflicts
But the present war might he called
unconventional. Every belligerent
seems to follow its own viii When
its attention is called 10 a fragrant
violation of some convention il always
has some excuse ready. The principal
plea is that a particular convention is
not binding because il was not ratified
by all the parties 10 the present war
In view OF the number of belligerents
participating in the present unpieas-
antness this excuse is usually avail
able. But occasionally there is a
violation of a convention which every
nation signed because nobody in time
of peace could urge any reasona Bile
objection 10 it,
Last October the British destroyer
Meteor captured the German steamer
Opheaia and took il 10 Yarmouth.
The prize court has just decided that
IL was lawful prize. Germany pro-
tested that the Ophelia was a hospital
ship and as such was immune from cap
ture, according TO The Hague conven-
ton, Great Britain admits that a
genuine hospital ship is immune from
capture, but insists that the Ophelia
merely purported TO be a hospital ship
and that il was really masquerading
as such for scouting purposes. Since
the prize court was naturally sustain
ed. Such proceedings make mock
cry of The Hague conventions, so far
as clashes between belligerents are
concerned. While the proposal of an
international court, clothed with pow
ers to enforce its judgments by force,
may be a dream, there should be an
international tribunal TO pass on ques-
tons of fact in such cases as the
seizure OF the Ophelia. The present
system is grotesque
