LOW|VDES JURY
ARRA|GNS KHAN
IN PRESENTMENTS

VALDOSTA, Ca, May 26.-The
grand jury which adjourned today
and made it's presentments to the
court Endorsed the Australian ballot
law and recommended that it be-
came operative in Lowndes county.
1t also recommended fire drills and
better fire protection for the rural
schools. A feature of the present
ments was the arraignment of the
Ku Klux Khan as organized in this
section. The presentments say: 1--WE
have diligently inquired into recent
actions which have been committed
in our county and adjoining coun-
ties. We find after a very careful
investigation and from what infor-
nation we can receive that it is
the impression of all of the wit.
nesses examined that this is the
work of an organization known by
the name of the Ku Klux Khan.
"We desire to go on record as
strongly condemning all action Of
the kind by any set of men or any
organization that will endeavor
through their efforts to take the
handling of the courts business into
their hands. We feel that we would
mot be fair in our oaths as grand
jurors if we fail to impress our
courts and people of our county how
we stand in regard to this matter.
Ever since the year 1905 every man
where charged with crime has been
conceded the right to be tried by a
jury of his peers. For more than
1900 years we have lived under gov
ernments which render to Caesar
the things that are Caesars and to
God the things that are Gods CIV
ing us human and divine laws in
which there is no room for the i'm
visible government and any acts
perpertrated by this invisible gov
eminent have taken from us the
right mentioned above, making it a
cancerous growth on the freedom of
the American people.
I'VE want to further go on rec
ord, as grand jurors, in standing for
one hundred per cent Americanism'
in every way, shape or form which
will uphold the courts of our de-
mocracy and uphold our officials i'll
the performance of their duties.
The grand jury asks the repre-
sentatives in the legislature to fall
in line with our sister states and
enact laws that will make secret
Or carnations, whose roster is not
open to the public, to register the
names of it's members with the clerk
Of the court"
The grand jury commended
Judge Thomas for his various
charges on law and order and also
Governor Hardwick "whose term is
about to expire for the stand he has
taken on the side of law and order
in some of our recent turmoils."
The grand jury sent a committee,
headed by Rev. Hansford johnson,
pastor of the First Baptist church,
to the Valdosta Times office to COM
mend the paper for It's "uncompro-
missing stand in favor of organized
courts, as against the government OF
hoods and masks"

Wrong Grave Opened
By Committee Seeking
Skeleton Of Governor

FIT. WORTH, Tex, May ga
committee from the Arkansas legis-
lature sent to Lipan to transfer the
remains of T. S. Drew, pioneer gov
ernor of that state, to Pocahontas,
Ark, yesterday opened the wrong
grave. The error was due to the
uncertain memory of Joe Drew, the
70-year-old son of the former gov
ernor of Arkansas. The grave
opened proved to be that of Joe
DreW's wife.
The baby of Joe Drew was buried
in a grave between his father and
his wife. The aged son had forgot
ten which was which. The searchers
discovered their mistake when they
found an old-fashioned tucking comb
and the sole and heel of lady's
slipper. The remains were reburied
upon the instructions of the hus-
band, who stated he later will have
them disinterred and forwarded to
Arkansas.
The bones of the former governor
of Arkansas, T. S. Drew, who was
governor from 1914 to 1919, then
were exhumed and forwarded from
Granbury.
