Charge of Junes S. Webb.
Judge Webb and Solicitor Dan
iels have been holding court this
week.
Judge Webb's charge to the
grand jury was able, instructive
and practical, a lecture on good
citizenship, the responsibility of
the grand jury and an interpreta
tion and application of the crimin
al law. To the grand jufy is com
mitted the preservation of the
peace of the county, the care of
bringing to light for examination,
trial and punishment, all violence,
outrage, indecency and terror, ev
erything that may occasion danger,
disturbance or dismay. Grand ju
rors are said to be watchmen, sta
tioned by the law to survey the
conduct of their fellow citizens
and to inquire where and by whom
public authority has been violated
and our constitution or laws, in
fringed Judge Webb then pro-
ceeded to enumerate the different
crimes their degrees and define
them.
Laws of practical importance
that have not been enumerated and
brought to the attention of the
people before, as those of enticing
servants, one employer inducing a
servant or laborer to have the em
ployment of another when a con
tract to work a certain length of
time is then in force. Another is
that of selling cotton before sun
rise and after sunset, the buyer
and the seller are both indictable.
The buying and selling of futures
or anything that is not to be deliv
ered and all for speculative pur
poses. The selling of cigarrettes
and whiskey to minors are very
serious offenses snd extremely dan-
gerous violation of the law. The
vagrancy law which prevents peo
pie who have nothing to do and
nothing to live on from loafing and
being public nuisances they are in
dictable, this is done to do awav
with a great scource of crime.
Gambling is a great evil and for
bidden by law.
It is not generally known that
public drunkeness is indictable as
a common nuisance. The selling
of a deadly weapon to a minor is
punishable by law. The mo»t ser
ious crime against public justice
is that of willful perjury which is
the taking of an oath, falsely and
corruptly, in some judicisl proceed
ing about a matter material to the
issue. It is believed this crime is
on increase and certainly it is im
possible to correctly administer the
law if it is permitted to go unpun
ished. Abandonment and failure
to support wife and children is an
offence against the marital rela
tions.
The law is very carefnl to see
that public officers perform their
duties and that they hold their of
fices as trust for the peo
ple and it provides that any officer
who omits refuses or neglects to per
form any of the duties of his office
is guilty of a misdemeanor and if
he does so c rruptly in addition to
imprisonment he may be removed
from office. Road supervisors who
fail to comply with the demands of
the law are indictable and those who
intefere with officers and blockade
public highways or delay or mar
the execution of the law is indict
able.
Good roads, good schools and
good churches are essential to the
progress of any community. When
once you have had good roads you
will never be without them regard
less of the cost. In building roads
w» think only of the cost at the be
ginning but the cost is soon paid
and the roads are permanent im
provements. By good roads prop
erty at a distance from town be
comes more valuable land 15 or ao
miles from town with bad roads
is of very little valne it formerly
brought five to seven dollars an
acres with good roads its value in
creases to twenty-five and thirty.
All progressive and prosperous com
munities have good roads and it will
be only a short time before we will
have them all over the state.
Jndge Webb lives in Shelby and
in the Peidmont section of the
state now a very prosperous sec
tion. He was solicitor for his dis
trict a number of years, he has
been on the bench one year and is
leaving a fine impression wherever
he holds court.
Solicitor Daniels is at his best
and is pushing the violators of the
law to the sure punishment that
means leas crime. The solicitor
makes a good impression in court
and shows that he is doing all that
law and justice will allow to secure
conviction.
