THE CRIMINAL COURT

In view of the misrepresentation
that have been made in regard to
the Criminal court, / feel that IN JUS
tice to those who advocated the pas
sage Of this law a brief statement
should be made as to this law and
its operation. AS you know, the
sole purpose of those responsible for
it's passage, and this included some
of the members Of the county 'court,
was to reduce the enormous Jail and
criminal court costs that then bic
fair to bankrupt the county, and
this act has resulted IN financial
saving beyond the expectation Of
those who favored the act, statements
to the contrary NOTWITHSTANDING.
By providing a speedy hearing for
prisoners awaiting trial, it has re-
duced BY one-half this item~of coun-
ty expense, and it has also made a
great reduction in the workhouse eX-
Denses,. | shall give figures for the
board 8f workhouse prisoners for the
first six months of the present year
and for the first six months OF the
year 1915. that preceded the passage
of the act.
For the first six months of the
present year the cost to the county
of boarding workhouse prisoners was
S41O. so. For the first six months Of
1915 it was S1937.50. This compar-
ison shows that in this one item
alone, that is, the board of work
house prisoners, the saving for six
months was S1527.O0. This is no
guess-work, but actual figures taken
from the minutes of the workhouse
commission. Other Jail and work
house expenses would show an equal
ly great corresponding reduction.
There has also been considerable
gain to the county as a result Of the
fines imposed by the criminal court
as shown by comparison OF those
assessed during its first year Of OPP
GRAFTON with those assessed for the
year preceding its organization.
From May, 1917, to May, 1918, fines
aggregating S2,775 have been as
sessed. From May, 1916, to May,
1917, the year preceding the organi-
cation Of the criminal court, the fines
assessed by the county and circuit
courts amounted to $1,437.50 Thus
it appears that in one year the gain
in fines was S1,337,50, a showing in
favor of the criminal court of more
than $100 per month in fines alone.
It has been suggested that the
county is burdened with largely in
creased jury expenses as result of
this law. The fallacy Of this is read

TO DEPUTIzE MERCHANTS

In view of the fart chat under the
regulations Of the Unitel States food
administration, applicants for The
pu chase of certain qua titles of
Isss ar are required tc make affidavit

glad to deputize merchants to adj
minister the oaths to such applicants
provided same is done without charge,
such deputation to be for said pur-
pose and no other. Merchants de-
String to secure this authority should
make application to me. My reason
for taking this action is in order
to save the merchant and his custom
err the great inconvenience of having
to seek some officer to administer
the oath to the applicant for the pur-
chase of sugar, as especially in the
country many persons would have
to go several miles in order to secure
the services of such officer. | will
administer such oath to applicants
for the purchase of sugar and will
make no charge for same. The food
administrator for Tennessee has au-
thorized me to administer such oaths
