I'VE can never have the proper re-
spect shown the gaming laws of the
state, for instance" said he, If you
indict negroes for skin or crap
games and allow poker and other gam
bling games to go on among the whites
of the community 1t is your duty to
investigate and act alike on all cases,
regardless of who is affected.
There is one special matter to
which ask the grand jury to give at
tention and make recommendation. I'm
der our laws, all committing officers
justices of the peace or any other
officials permitted to commit offenders
to the Superior COURTS required in
felony cases to take transcripts OF the
testimony to be returned with the com
mittments. But this practice has
been abandoned long ago by these Of
ficers The law also says that where
a person is bound over tbs the duty
of the committing officer to enter on
the back of the warrant the names of
all of the states witnesses. There is
a purpose for this law, but many war
rants are returned here with the
names of no witnesses on them. Thu
results in great delay and inconven-
ience In most cases we have to sum
mon some one whose name appears on
the warrant and bring him here to
learn the names of the witnesses to
summon, when they should be here
ready for your interrogation. This,
think, is a mere oversight on the part
of the officers and not the result of
any intention to ignore their duties
/ believe a recommendation from the
grand jury will accomplish the desir-
ed result"
The oath was administered to the
jurors and bailiff by julie FELTON,, of
Nontezuma, solicitor for this circuit,
who was on hand to represent the
state in all matters coming up at this
term of court.
Prior to the swearing of the grand
jury c. b. Knowles and W A Gam

the term.

The petit jury has been summoned
to appear Monday morning when the
trial of cases will begin. Only divorce
and criminal actions will be heard,
civil cases being postponed until the

Six Negroes Indicted.
The grand jury returned indict-
