says on the subject,
| The thought of tina best citizehs i
Georgia is centered upon one thinI
more than everything else these day
the ways and means of bringinl
about an end of lawlessness in TIL
state and the cheating of a genera
sentiment Of respect for law and dc
mand for law enforcement. The Burk
grand jury the other day, 70
example, voiced what every true an
tried good citizen of the state feels:
1--WE view with fear and alarm
the disregard for law, so ably de-
picted by Judge Hardeman in his
charge to this body Especially
is this true as regards the prohi-
bitten law. We agree with him
fully that the only remedy for this
is changing sentences. We there
fore recommend that in the flu
ture our judges impose no more
fines, but instead give every one
convicted changing sentences.
1--WE further recommend that
greater care be exercised in the
checking off Of liquors seized and
destroyed, and that the law re-
garding vehicles hauling liquors
be followed to the letter.
"In this connection we desire
to commend in the highest terms
possible the good work of the
women of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union Of Waynes-
boro. With untiring efforts, cease
less devotion and constant pray
ers they have unselhshly labored
day and night to make Burke
county a better place to live in
and a safer place to rear our chill
dren in. We wish to express our
appreciation Of their presence at
a recent pouring out of captured
liquor in front Of the court house.
We commend Sheriff Hurst for
his activity in running Town these
whiskey cars and extend him our
thanks for the same. We urge
that more diligence be used in ar

In the Immediate community:
This grand jury, having noted
with care the volume and char
acter Of crimes that have come to
our attention at the October term
Of superior court, are pleased to
say to the colrt and tn the people
OF Colquitt county that the show
ing is good one. Felony cases
have been few. All indications
are that crimecsf the ordinary
and usual type are on the de-
: crease. We judge that the viola
lions of the prohibition laws, in
particular, have been greatly re-
duced recently.
Much Of these favorable results

tive work that has been done by
our county policemen. Therefore,
we deem II proper that we should
commend our county commissions
ers for having continued such
work. although considerable OPP
position has been manifested
against Il. Such opposition has
been due, we believe, to lack
OF information as TO its real val
ue and effectiveness in detecting
and preventing crimes, at least
to the extent It has not come from
or been inspired by those who
would violate cur laws.
