Judge Highsmith Delivered Able
Charge, Pointing Out a
Number OF Laws.
P. W. FLEMING NAMED CLERK
Gaming, Prohibition Violations,
Vagrancy and Automobile
Statutes Called to Attention
OF August Body.

Glynn county's grand jury organ
lied yesterday morning with the elec-
tion OF N. Emanuel as foreman; p.
w. Fleming, clerk, and H. G. Marlin,
bailif, and, after hearing an able
charge from J. p. flighsmith, retired
to their room to begin the work be-
fore them
Judge Highsmith called attention
to the many laws being violated, and
especially did he speak of gaming,
prohibition violation, automobile laws
and vagrancy, and the strict enforce
ment of the game and fish laws OF
the state
lie told the jury that one thousand
people had lost their lives in Georgia
within a single year by automobile
accidents, and tbonght. II The state
law regulating this traffic had been
carried out TO the letter, the loss OF
life would have been much less. On
frequent violation of this law, ana
one which caused many accidents
was that cars in trying to pass each
other on the road would turn in the
wrong direction, going to the righ
instead of the left. as is the law.
The strict enforcement of the pro
hibition law was asked by Judge
Highsmith, and pointed out in graphic
language great harm which comes
from the violation OF this law. He
said more trouble had come from this
than any other one thing. He called
the attention Of the jury to the fact
that boats engaged in the liquor trar-
fic could be condemned, as also could
other kinds of carriers engaged in
this illegal traffic.
He called attention to the fact that
recommendations of former grand
juries in this county had been disre-
garded. He thought the recommen.
dations good and instructed the pres
ent grand jury to investigate and as
certain, If possible, why these recon-
mendations were disregarded and
just who blocked the will of the jury.
Not only one law. but all laws
of the state should be carried out to
the letter." said the Judge. "They
were made for all the people, and
the law-abiding citizens should assist
the officers in seeing that these laws
are enforced"
All in the court house were favor
ably impressed with the able charge
of this brainy jurist. He did not use
a superfluous word-it was to the
point, and II could be seen that he
meant every word he uttered.
