ForcefuI Charge Delivered by
Presiding Judge.

The regular May term of Glynn SUI
perior court was convened promptly
at ten o'clock yesterday morning and
the prospects are that it win be an
unusually busy session, there being a
large number of cases listed for trial
on both criminal and civil dockets,
some of the former being of a rather
sensational character. and of more
than ordinary local interest.
Judge J. I. Summrall. of the Way
cross circuit, is presiding for Judge
Highsmith. who is recovering from
ia recent serious illness at his home
in BaXley and not able to be present.
Solicitor Alvin Sllers is on hand to
conduct the prosecutions in behalf of
the state, and there are number Of
OfAtOwn attorneys in attendance.
The grand jury has organized by
the selection of Guy f. Harvard as
foreman and P. w. Fleming clerk, af-
ter which Judge Summerall delivered
a brief but very able and forceful
charge, the salient features of which
ARE as follows:
The gambling evil was first taken
up. especial attention being directed
to pool rooms, punch boards and slot
machines. The crime of disturbing
divine worship was pointed out. and
in this connection the law on the OBJ
servance of the Sabbath day was
called to tn attention of the jury and
in an emphatic manner The viola.
tion of the state prohibition law and
its attendant evils was discussed with
vigor and earnestness, the court stat
ingthatthe violation of this law and
the practice of carrying concealed
weapons usually go hand in hand in
their work of deadly destruction.
Noting the fact that there were a
large number of young men on the
jury the court took occasion to point
out the importance of a proper re-
gard for the law and the solmn duty
imposed upon them by their oath as
jujurors, stating that supreme re-
gard for the law is one of thefirst and
greatest attributes of good citizen
ship"
Continuing the court took up the
Importance of the enforcement of the
vagrancy law, and touched on several
other vital points of law enforcement,
and in concluding paid tribute to
the ability and faithfulness Of the So
licitor, and called attention to the in
spection of the books of the county
