 The spring term of circuit court for Lowndes county, after having been in session two weeks adjourned Saturday. Several more or less important cases
 were disposed if, but the outstanding feature of the term was the activity
 displayed by the grand jury which, aft
 CT an extended investigation into al-
 legged violations of the prohibition laws,
 submitted sensational report declar-
 ing that liquor was being freely sold
 here. The report further declared that
 it was impossible to secure evidence
 upon which to base indictments against
 white men believed to be engaged in
 the illegal manufacture and sale of
 liquor, as negroes thought to be in their
 employ as agents refused to testify
 against them. ss
