Martin went out of his way to denounce criminal and reckless automobile drivers and ask for indictments If that Is necessary for law enforce ment. He said so many stills are be- ing captured in the county there must be an unusual amount of pro- hibition violation. He asked the re- port that the river bridges ap- breaches are unsafe, be investigated and suggested that all highway bridges might be looked into. The recent "ganging' of deputy sheriffs in Attalla was condemned and in- dictments urged.

 pulsory school law Is being violated and to bring in indictments where they are thought to be needed to correct wrongs or abuses Oscar Duke is foreman of the grand jury.
