leads from on to the Years End.

Report of the Grand Jury

To Judge T. b. Carroll, Judge Oh '"e
sixteenth Circuit Court District.
We. the grand jury selected to serve
this term of court, respectfully beg leave
to submit this our final report;
We have been in session Ave days
have examined ninety witnesses, have
returned in open court twenty -four Ia
dictments. We have done the best We
could to perform our duties thoroughly
and in accordance with the splendic
charge your honor delivered.
We have examined the Poor House,
under the capable management of Mr.
J. X. Yeatman. We find the inmates
well provided for and everything In
splendid condition.
We examined the Starkville Public
School Building and found 1t In fairly
good condition. ALI outer doors we're
swung to open ontside, as required by
law; however several of the inner
doors open into the room, which we
think might lead to the most serious
consequence In case of fire.
We examined the Cotton Mill and
fousd adequate fire escapes. We made
inquiry as to the child-labor law and
found the same enforced as required by
law.
We examined the books of the various
county officers and found the same
neatly, accurately and we'll kept to the
best of our knowledge.
We examined the Jail and found 1t ir
very good condition, as to cleanliness
and sanitary arrangements; however,
we recommend that the Jail be screened
at the earliest possible date, as very
unsanitary condition will be created il
this is not done.
we recommend that the board of su-
pervisors pay all outstanding bills for
disinfecture for the jail, as well as for
any new supplies which may be needed
from time to time.
We recommend that the board of SUI
pervisors make careful inquiry to see If
the deputy disc ontinued in the sheriff's
office is not needed, as we are informed
that it is practically impossible to give
the close attention to this office which
|, is needed on account of insufficient help.
n We have made the most careful and
painstaking inquiry into all evidence
that might uncover any violation of the
law, and we feel safe in saying that the
laws are being well inforced, and that
there is more respect for and demand
for law inforcement than heretofore,
with the exception of one or two com
munities.
We desirsSto thank your honor and
all officers with whom we have come in
contact for their helpfulness and kind.
ness to us.
Having performed our duties as best
we could, wo respectfully ask that We
be discharged.

Enforce the Law.

Hon. e. E. Galloway has written
q very pertinent and sensible arti-
Gle to the Columbus Commercial
Dispatch on law enforcement. In
the main it expresses cur senti-
lnents. and the Times herewith re4
produces the article in full:
The matter of law enforcement Is
simply one Of getting the proper view
point in connection with ones citizen
ship duties. 1t makes but little differ
snce whether one BE- classified as pro-
hibiti0nist or as an -pronibitionist
when the question of law enforcement is
raised. There is only one side to that
question, only one place where the law
abiding citizen may take position. If
government is to survive, If property
and life is to be kept safe, laws must be
enforced and applied as they are written.
Ii laws may be set aside at the wish of
the individual, then all laws fail and
government is at an end. Disregard for
the law, and lack of an efficient enforce =
ment, undermines the very government
which we love.
Intoxicating liquor is being distilled,
sold. possessed and otherwise handled in
violation of the law all ar )und us. MANY
men who handle the stuff can evade the
law, They can keep from being caught
and punished. Many others can 60 be-
fore the grand juries and the courts and
| there dodge and misrepresent the truth in
order to keep from telling upon another,
but we must not forget that when we do
this we are but planting the seed of
lawlessness and anarchy that will de.
stroy the very government if it is per-
sisted in. The most dangerous thing
that confronts us as afree people today
Is the growing disrespect for the con-
stituted authority and for the law.

IL is bad law, to work along Legitimate
