Grand Jury is as follows

The entire report as made by the
Grand Jury is as follows
The Madison County Grand Jury
of the September Term, 1855 hav-
ing investigated a certain Report
of Examination made by the de-
partment of Auditor of State, Bu-
reau of Inspection and Supervision
of Public Offices, of the Mayors
Court Of the City of London, Mad
ison County, Ohio said report be-
ing from January l, 1852 to July
81, 1854, makes the following find
ings and recommendations, to-wit:
Cd That the operation and ad-
ministration of the Mayors Court
is shown to be lax and Inefficient
in that the records are incomplete.
(2) That in many cases records
pertinent to the operation of the
Mayors Court are totally lacking.
81 That the aforesaid laxity
and inefficiency and the fact that
the said records are incomplete is
the sole responsibility of the
Mayor of said City.
A(4) That monies were not prop
erly accounted for in that there
appeared to be an intermingling of
Mayors Court funds and the per-
Sonal funds of the Mayor.
(5) That these conclusions are
based not only upon the afore-
mentioned examination but upon
previous examinations heretofore
made from which the Mayor
should have benefited and which
should have prevented the present
situation.
Based on the aforementioned
conclusions the Grand Jury hereby
makes the following recommended
tions; to-wit:
I'd That because of the laxity of
the Mayor in the operation of his
office the Grand Jury feels that he
is not competent to perform the
duties of his office and suggests
that he give serious consideration
to resigning therefrom.
~ That in the event the Mayor
does not see fit to submit his res
ignation as suggested that appro-
pirate action be taken according to
law to affect his removal from
said office.
This report is made for the pro-
motion of good government and
the general welfare of the COM
munity.
The report was signed by the
entire Grand Jury of Is members.

Editor Wheeler McMillen of

that other types of enterprise

ELMO
Our friendly contributor,
Elmo the Great, says that If

BEHAVIOR
It's too bad so many people

STYLE
Much has been banded a.
bout concerning rural i'm
provements. ,electrification,
county roads and such. but
to us the greatest rural i'm
provement yet is that it has
become increasingly difficult
to tell country girl from a
city girl.
MARRIAGE

that one of these days friend

PROBING REV.
LEES DEATH

WASHINGTON - CAMP -
The criminal division of the Jus
tice department is continuing its
investigation of the death of the
Rev. George w. Lee, Negro civil
rights leader.
Rev. Lee was killed by a shot
gun blast of undetermined origin
at Belzoni, Miss, on the night of
May 7.
Justice department officials re-
fused to say what has been un-
covered in, the investigation
which was instigated at the re-
quest of the NAACP.
1t is charged that Rev. Lee was
slain because he had been urg-
ing Negroes in Humphreys coun-
,ty to register and vote. Negroes
outnlHnber Whites in the county.
The death of Rev. Lee possib-
ly had a direct effect on the num-
Der of Negroes who voted in the
recent Democratic primary in
Mississippi. Shortly before the
election a clerk revealed that Ne
gro registration had dropped al
most 100 percent.

cieS of popular preaching. We see
it everywhere and often to our
disappointment certain ministers
attempting to make themselves
popular instead of making them
selves spiritually strong. 1t by no
means follows that the most pop
ular preachers are the best
preachers, John the BaptistS have
never been popular and the times
are crying for them even as John
the Baptist cried in the wilder
ness.
The world is going to be saved
not by the Billy Graham popular
method but by the old knock
down-dragout methods of some
John The Baptist who is yet to
come! The world will not be saved
by popular preaching but by sin
cere preaching, however humble
and unpopular and unlearned.
This writer feels that it is better
to have the popular preaching of
the Billy Graham kind than none
at all. But it is just as well for
us to keep in mind that the Mil
lenium will not come from pop
ular preaching.
The truth which must be pro-

Billy Graham came to Rich
mond but said little or nothing
about race prejudice as the great
moral Scourge; and wherever he
has gone he has softpedaled the
race issue although it is the most
briStling issue of the hour, for it
is worldwide in its scope and
ramifications. Although Billy
Graham is the most popular
preacher of the hour, it is to be
wondered how popular he would
be were he to face UP to the race
issue that is vexing the hour.
Prophets told the people of the |
sins were never popular and
preachers who tell people of their
sins are not popular today Which
is better-that Billy Graham draw
a million by soft-pedaling the
color question or a thousand by
facing it squarely? 1t is just as
well for us to remember that the
following of the crowd is no more
sign of righteousness now than
it was in the times of the ApOS-
ties. Today we are inclined to
measure to invariably by the size
of the crowd, forgetting the while
that truth was never popular and
he who declares the whole truth
and nothing but the truth is not
liable to break crowd records.
Billy Graham'S crowd would
be out perceptibly were he to
face up to the color question. His
clear popularity would be con-
siderably deprecated were he to
tackle race prejudice in its Old
South den. If Billy Graham would
retain his current popularity, he
had better steer clear of the Old
South on steer clear of the color
question in his sermons to the
