COURT NEWS

Judge r.. s. Rose opened Circuit
Court Monday and found It diff
cult to secure juries on account OF
sickness in families.
The Grand Jury, consisting off,
Sam Jones. Will Wynn, Finley Val
entine J. F.. Hubbard, John Bright,
Henry Pickard. w. s. Phipps, Dan
Deaton, II. y. Hudson, Zeb Garri-
son. Geo. w. Black and Floyd Rice,
twelve men, were called, impannel-
ed. and sworn. The Petit Jury was
also impanneled Hon. j. b. Sny-
der, commonwealth Attorney, was
present and resumed his duties as
such.
Judge Rose proceeded in his usu-
al vigorous and strong way to in
struct the Grand Jury along the line
of their duties as to infractions of
criminal and penal laws. He espec-
tally emphasized the Importance of
grand jurors as citizens and parts of
the court to see to it and IL neces-
sary to take up ample time of the
court, in the thoro probing of vio-
lations of the laws as to moon
shining and bootlegging of liquor,
pointing out that all good institu-
tions, especially schools, churches,
and morality of the country, are
menaced by the manufacture and
sale of liquor. That disorderly and
criminal conduct alone could come
Of this; that the loyal and patriotic
citizens had done their part toward
putting down this evil; that it is
up to the Grand Jury and Court to
do theirs. He called attention also
to many other infractions of the
criminal law, like murder, rape,
larceny, carrying pistols, perjury
and false swearing, especially gam
bling, and many other violations,
too numerous to mention.
That public officers do their duty
instead of winking at law viola
tions, pointi. cut that no one re-
spected the Jaw or it's enforcement
when executed by officers violating
it themselves.
Cooperating with Mr.. H. c. Han
ma, Commissioner of Agriculture, he
issued instructions to the Grand
Jury to go after violators of the
Dog Law, OF whom there are many
in the County, judging by the list
turned in this year as against last
years. While some 1900 persons
paid a dog tax last year, only about
LOO did so this year and 1t is un-
likely that this number of dogs have
been destroyed. The lists for both
years are of course in possession OF
County officials.
