UNDER HIS CAR

G.. B. Cliff, a young man from
Diana, Tenn, but who has been MAX
ing his home at Citra, was killed yes
terday evening, by his car turning
over on him, on the Anthony road
about mile and half from Anthony.
Nobody was near when the accident
took place, but it is believed that he
was driving his car, Ford, too fast
on the slippery road. 1t turned COM
pletely over and pinned him under it,
breaking his neck.
The overturned car and the man
under it were discovered by William
Baker, who lives in the vicinity. He at
once gave the alarm. Sheriff Gallo
way went out and finding the matter
to be entirely an accident, called up
an undertaken to take care of the
body. Mr.. Sam Pyles brought the
body to Pyles & Perkins undertaking
establishment and prepared it for
shipment to the unfortunate young
mans Tennessee home.
Mr.. Cliff has been engaged with
Mr.. r. E. Wolaver of this city in en-
larging pictures. He was fine young
man and much liked by all whom he
had met during his stay here, especial
ly in Citra, where he was well known.
He was a lifelong friend of Mr.. J. D.
Edwards of that place. Mr.. and Mrs.
Edwards were in town this morning
assisting Mr. and Mrs. Wolaver in
making the last arrangements for
their dead friend. Mr.. Wolaver will

EDWARDS FOUND GUILTY

In Judge Smiths court last eve
ming, after a trial lasting about seven
hours, Perry Edwards was found
guilty of moonshining. The jurors in
the case were T. w. Troxler, c. E.
Winston, n. U. Kindt. H. Lee Sharp,
d. j. Carroll and j. B. Waldron. After
hearing the evidence, it did not take
these gentlemen long to arrive at a
verdict.
Edwards attorney moved for new
trial, and was given four days to make
out his case. Edwards meantime was
released on a thousand dollar bond.
From the evidence. it would appear
that he has been making moonshine
for years.
Edwards trouble is partly owing to
some of his fool friends He has been
acting as cook and guide for northern
spCrtsmen, some of whom either don't
understand southern customs, or want
to show their defiance of them by
treating Edwards as their social equal.
| (Perhaps he isl 1t is possible that
some of these people have been among
his customers in the moonshine traffic.

JUDGE BULLOCKS CHARGE TOTHE GRAND JURY
Sist the Officials In the Performance
of Their Duty

Gentlemen of the Grand Jury: Our
sCatute provides that when the grand
jury attending any court shall have
been dismissed before the court is ad-
journed without day, they may be
summoned to attend again at the
same term at. such time as the court
shall direct, for the disposition of any
business before them. This court has
not adjourned without day for the fall
term of of 1919. Pursuant to this
statute | have caused you to be sum-
moned again to come together that
you may further inquire into those
matters that seem to vitally concern
the peace and dignity of the state of
Florida and the welfare of her people.
Since you gentlemen reported to this
court that you had completed your
lahors and investigated all matters
that came to your knowledge, it is
said that other crime has been COM
mitted in the county and under such
circumstances as to justify, indeed de-
mand, that you should investigate the
matter promptly and diligently. 1t is
said that one of your fellow citizens,
while in the quiet pursuit of his busi-
ness has been foully murdered. which
was committed under such circum-
stances as to show an assassination
for the purpose Of robbery.
Parties who are accused of the COM
mission of crime are entitled to a
speedy trial by a fair and impartial
jury of their countrymen. The public
interest demands that crime should be
prosecuted without unnecessary delay.

variety. There is also a French ma
chine gun. much used by our troops,
the Lewis machine gun of the British
army, British trench mortar, some
British rifles, and other arms of the
other Allies. Altogether, it is a most
excellent exhibit and the veteran sol

county, it seems that a most alarming
condition exists. A condition that not
cEly violates the law, but one of the
most vicious of practices. This manu-
facture and sale of what is commonly
called ''moonshine," is in no sense a
question of your views as on the ques-
| tiOr of prohibition. The sole question
| IS, shall we enforce the law or permit
the lawless element to flood this coun-
ty with vile concoction so that If
| flows in "well known channels" in this
town? Mark you. gentlemen. if this
camnable poison flows in we'll known
channels in this city, and the honest,
intelligent citizens are standing by
"like fattened oxen waiting for the
butchers knife" it will surely burst
its confines and invade the sacredness
of your homes.
Is it possible that our people here
in this town are deaf, dumb and blind +?
If this mOonshine business, these in
cubatOrs of crime, can so flourish in
this county so that "here in the city
are certain we'll known channels thru
which the illicit liquor runs" it is time
for US to wake and for you to run to
your "homes and fall upon your knees
and pray to your God to intermit the
plague" Gentlemen of the grand jury,
this thing shall not endure, our people
will not stand for it. The issue be-
tween crime and law is clear cut
What are you going to do about it?
We must assume that these condi-
items appearing in the public prints
are true. If this condition exists, if
this horrid carcass is dragged thru
our streets so that it flows in "well
known channels" surely its trail is
marked with its Shiny. noxous poison
and can be followed to it's lair. Gen
tlemen, it is somebody of more infiu-
ence than nappy-headed negro with
a tin can and coffee pot. Somebody
higher up. Hunt them up, run them
down. If those people who know of
the existence of these we'll known
channels do not come forward as good
citizens and tell you, then summon
them to come and purge them to the
bottom. Something is wrong some
where.
Gentlemen of the grand jury you
have at your command the power of
the law and the process of the courts,
and at your disposal the treasury of
the state of Florida. Let me earnestly
appeal to you to use all of them as |
freely as is needed to blot out this |
terrible accusation against the good
people of this county. Crime shall not |
flow in well known channels.
Gentlemen, acquit yourselves as
ren. Tell the people of this county
in plain, simple words. Tell them all |
about it. W. S. Bullock, Judge.

Tie delays of our courts in the trans
action of the public business is be-
coming an offense to our people and
they are losing confidence in the ad-
ministration of the law, with a natural
tendency to correct crime by mob vio-
lence, a most unfortunate condition to
contemplate.
1t seems as if the whole world is in
a fevered condition of excitement,
restlessness and revolution.
Just about the time of the entrance
of the United States into the great
world war, leading magazine in this
country said this government stands
trembling in the balance" True, and
We are still trembling in the balance.
We were on trial then and we are on
trial now. Gentlemen. it is a peril
rCnt question to ask. where do you
stand?
Shall the lawless and criminal ele-
ment of this state prevail. or the law
abiding citizens enforce the law? The
determination of this question is pri-
pGarily with our courts and with the
juries thereof. Behind all of this is
public sentiment. No officers. how
ever diligent and honest, can enforce
a law that public sentiment does not
sustain.
Marion county as a political sub
division of this state and an integral
part thereof must take position. We
are at the parting of the ways. On
which side shall we stand? Are we to
be classed with the lawful or the un-
lawful element?

The burning question of the day is
the manufacture and sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors, second to no other ques-
ton in this nation. 1t is our boast
that the strength of our government
lies in the fact that the people are
supreme. The people rule. They make
the law under which we live and they
administer this law. On this question
of the manufacture and sale of intox-
icating liquor the people of this state
end this nation have spoken in no un-
certain terms. The people have ex-
pressed themselves through their leg
isjative departments and the enforce
ment of their will is now before that
coordinate branch that we term the
judiciary.
AS members of this grand jury you
are part and parcel of that branch,
sworn officers to whom the people
have committed the high and honor
able position of investigators of crime.
When we were organized | took oc-
casion to advise you, at some length.

rested upon you, and then appealed to
you for your aid and assistance in
properly enforcing the law. Let me
again say to you that l have an abid-

those qualifications of grand jurors
and "that you will diligently inquire
and a true presentment make, of all
such matters as shall be given you in
