FOREMAN Of THE
GRAND JURY HERE

The regular fall term session of the
Sumter Superior court convened at =
o'clock this morning, with his honor,
Judge 2. A. Littlejohn, of the South
western circuit, presiding.
The interests of the state were in
the hands of julie FELTON,, of Ogle-
thorpe, acting as solicitor in the place
OF Solicitor General j. R. Williams,
who is sick. Mr. FELTON, is solicitor
of the City Court of Oglethorpe, and a
strong prosecuting attorney.
The grand jury was organized with
the selection of George w. Riley, of
Americus, as foreman. Mr.. Riley is a
strong citizen, and much of the work
of the jury will fall on his initiative.
The charge of Judge Littlejohn to
the grand jury was strong statement
of the matters usually placed before
the body. 1t was clear and concise as
to the duties, and was featured by a
careful charge on the new prohibition
law, which became effective in Geor-
gia on May 1st
The main portion of the morning
session was consumed with the charge
to the grand jury and the disposition
of uncontested divorce cases.
