CIRCUIT COURT IN SESSION
JUDGE WILSON DELIVERS CHARGE

Monday with Judge G.. e. Wilson OF
the bench. This is Judge Wilson's
first term OF court to preside over IN
his native County. His manner oil
presiding is peculiar to himself and
characteristic OF his dignity and In.
tegrity. 1t is very becoming to
Judge Wilson to sit as Judge over
the court and the court Is fortunate
to have snch an able, fairminded
and honest man as its presiding of
ficer. We can we'll say that Judge
Wilson IL bigger than his position.
The court room was packed with
people. who were eager to hear the
charge to the Grand Jury. Judge
Wilson spoke for about thirty min.
utes, first expressing his apprecia-
tion for the confidence placed In him
by the people OF the County and as
surfing the people that it was his
greatest ambition to serve all the
people in an efficient and just man
ner. discharge to the Jury was
eloquent and to the point. He gave
what he thought were the principal
causes for the general unrest thru
out the country today and stressed
the following points;
That courts are helpless to enforce
the law as long as our citizens hold
themselves aloof from the courts
and withhold their aid and coopera-
tion; that courts are business in
stitutions which should be conduct
ed with expediency and efficiency.
Judge Wilson reminded the jury that
our government was founded upon
the principle of equal and just taxa
tion and that unjust taxes were an
imposition. and that unnecessary
expenses In operating courts led to
increased taxation, and, therefore,
to unrest, dissatisfaction and to the
fostering OF a rebellious spirit to
government. Judge Wilson truly
said that civilization may be easily
measured by the majesty of its laws.
when spoken OF In the sense OF JUS
tice, certainty and promptness, and
that when people lost respect for
laws and law enforcement civiliza-
tlon was on the decline. He made
q strong appeal to the jury to let It's
Judgements be controlled by the
testimony presented to it in a
legal way and not from outside In
fiuences.
