TRIBUTE TO COUNTY
Miller Declares Dallas Grand Jury
 Never Fails In Duty

Selma, November 22.-(Spccial.) )-Judge E. M Miller paid high tribute to the citizenship of Dallas county at the open- ing of the fall term of circuit court this morning when he declared in his charge that in his Is years on the bench he had never known a grand jury of the county to fail to do it's duty. As the grand jury at this term is the hold-oyer body which was empanneled last August, Judge Miller did not make his usual general charge setting out the more com mon law violations, but impressed the jury with their solemn responsibilities when they were adjourned to begin their deliberations. Papers regarding num- Der of cases were placed in the hands of the jury for investigation. George Reese was sworn in as bailiff.
 The petit juries were then called and organized. A series of damage suits Of minor character is on the docket for trial and these took up the time of tho court the rest of the day.
 When Judge Miller closes this session of circuit court it will mark his last ap- pearance here. as he assumes his place as one of the judges of the supreme court of Alabama in January. Succeed ing him to the judgeship for the Fourth district is S. F, Hobbs.

 A one-time chief executive of the great state of Alabama pleaded guilty to one doe, and smilingly came across with his s25. Ex-Gov.
