'' "- ' ' Judge Daniels charge was a long - one, and it covered a wide range of subjects. He began by impressing on the, minds of the grand Jurors the fact that they had been chosen to per form a high duty. He called the grand Jury the right arm of the court, the force without which the entire court is helpless. No criminal can be tried until the grand Jury finds a true bill. He warned the grand Jury that there are at timqs some 111 fa vored Individuals who seek to use the grand Jury as a means of oppres sion and her urged the Jurors to be as diligent in "not presenting a true bill" as in presenting a true bill. It Is wrong to force a man to endure the disgrace and expense attendant on a criminal orosecution without just cause. He warned them to present no man for envy, hatred or malice and to leave unpresented none for fear, "favor or affection and then he went on to take shot at tne moral coward, who allows law-breaking In his community rather than stir up trouble. Judge Daniels Mid that many a man was lost because of a mistaken Idea of kindness. It la alwsyB best to catch up the man who is starting wrong and put him in the right way at the start, and the grand Jury should not be slow to deal with all sorts of law breakers. If they are not check ed how, the chances are that they will become a menace to the welfare of the community. He told the Jurors that he would be merciful to the man who is Just starting in crime, for he believes in corrective Justice, instead of retributive Justice. He does not neueve in introducing ine uegiuuenu crime to the terrors of the law, and uses this as a last resort He said the day had passed when men. went .wroag. through ignorance of tnV lawrv Ages of experience with the law of the land has Ingrained in- :' to the hearts and consciences of men a consciousness 'of right and wrong SUA IllttH WUU UWn VVAVUS WU,, does so through -choice. Many hire lawyers to show them how they can skirt the edges of crime, approach the very doors of the penitentiary : and yet not have the door closed on them. , These men are in danger, Soon or late they will go a step too far and the prison doors will close on them. When this happens, said the Judge, they should have their law yers right along with them, for the lawyer who practices along that line is as big a criminal as the law recog- nlies. He said that the ideal of the law was to make the country safe, to pro . tect the weak and the unfortunates Anil ma In , V, n 1.llHi.An TVlM Mkll. dren he characterised as the seed corn of coming generations and he traced ' the development that , tne last rew ntra lina boaa In thft WAV of child lft- bor laws. The Ideal of the law is to conserve the seed corn and not allow It to' be ground up in this great in- duatrial age. A check has been put on lewd men, Today, It is a crime to debauch the helpless womanhood of the state, a few years ago the only remedy was a shot gun in the bands of indignant male relatives. , v- For' the erring youth there is the reformatory, where he is taught all that la good and bad lm Dulses are cor rected and the boy set on the high road to honor and honesty. He traced a number of other Im provements that are being made, all going to show that our race is grow ing better and stronger'' aa the days go by. Boys com contests came in for a great deal of praise, as did our modern system of education.

The gospel Of Jesus Christ." said Judge Daniels, "is panacea for all the Ills that flesh Is heir tp, if men could but get it into their hearts and lives. Next to it stands the gospel of health." r He then touched on progress In ''. road ' building, local taxation for . schools and a number of other more , ments that make for the upbuilding . of the community and ha told how all thee food things might be retarded bv a few bad men "without the grace of God In their beans." tie urgea tne Jurors to be faithful and diligent In plunking out of the way everything and every man that stood In the way of development The men who make liquor and the men who tell It, are never found backing any movement for the nDllft of the country. It is their business to make drunkards and the sons of drunkards Oil poorhouses and Jails. The lewdly inclined man seeks to bring marriage Into disrepute and he should be .dealt with. The love of rambling, taking chances, is - hard to break down when once lm nlanted in a child and the gamblers , should be dealt with all of these of fenders should be corrected not be cause we hate them, but because we love rlrht and right living more, In conclusion Judge Daniels told the Jurors that he would not attempt to CHtalogue the various crimes that men commit, for It is unnecessary, The law aralnst all of these things Is . wrlt'"i In the hearts of the people.

The meeting was home delighted with the result of the marked by a lack of formality that meeting, which was a great success was pleasing, every farmer present from the standpoint of education aa taking ah intelligent interest Jn what well as better highways. He said mat Davie county, while not so large as many of the counties of the state, it Is one of our best agricultural coun- ties. While the eounty hasn't made the progress that a great many coun ties have made, it haa made consid erable progress along educational ant agricultural lines. There is not a foot of macadam or other surfaced road in the county, except a small stretch in the town Of Cooleemee. Je rusalem township la one of the very best townships in the county and has a fine citizenship and its soil is capa ble of producing almost anything. Recently Mr. William K. craig, a big hearted, broad minded gentleman, a native of Vlcksburg. Mississippi, who now lives in New York, and isjed several applicants. President Wil connected with the Cotton Exchange, in looking around for a good place to rest, leased the home place of the late S. J. Tatnm and la repairing and painting the : houses, ' building dog kennels, etc, The result Is that the ancient village of Jerusalem Is having an awakening and the people of the township have, become Interested in good roads. It is understood that Mr. Craig has leased the. hunting privilege of 25,000 acres of land in Davie, Dav idson and Rowan counties. He, oi course, being, a progressive man; is Interested In good roads and in order to have a road for the people of that township from Jerusalem to South River. Mr. Craig made a proposition SatnrdRT that If tha citizens of the township would build a sand clay i road for a distance of three miles to enter witn the rest oi tne nuncn from South River to Jerusalem that J and now that the corn Is beginning he would pay half the expense audi to show itself, some of those who fail fnmlah road traders and other ma- ed to enter have an Idea that their chinery for the building of this road and any other roads that the people that of some or tne contestants ana of the township desire to build.

Agrknltnral Assoelatloa Declares the tore loit-nt i lows A time ' Speech, The Davidson County Agricultural was going on asxing questions ana answering them. It was a sociable gathering of men interested In the satce lines or work ana tne excnange of Ideas waa helpful to alt parties. I There were about thirty members of the association present, all men of standing in their communities and all interested in the development of Dav idson county. The meeting was called to order by President Wilson and the first sub ject taken up was the matter of al lowing certain applicants to enter the corn contest. President Wilson stated that he had received a number of ap plications since last meeting from men who wanted to enter the corn contest and Secretary Conrad report- son put the matter up to the associa tion, saying that he did not want to take the authority to pass upon the question. A short and - snappy dis cussion followed, and it was decided, without a dissenting vote, to not re ceive any application now. It was the opinion of the members of the as sociation that it would be unfair to the men now in the contest to accept the other entries at this time. Every farmer in the county had the oppor tunity of entering the contest in June. The date for closing the entries was June 10, but to take care of every body, a special meeting was held and the date was extended to June 20. Those who tailed to enter at the prop- er time should not be allowed to en ter now. They did not have the nerve corn patch will show as big a yield as tening to. it was largely a collection tie went oaca to tne aays wnen tne Indian roamed undisturbed over these hills,, when the forests Vrere unbroken the settling of the great west and the filled all of the needs of the pioneers for bread. In early summer there was jthe delicious roasting ear. Later the pioneer grated the ear and made bread, and when It was ripe he broke It up with stones. Our ancestors were great devasta tors. . The biggest man in the com' munlty was the man that could clear the most ground and tend It Mighty forests were cut down and burned and land waa put in corn and kept in corn until it was practically worn out I when it would produce well no long- ler, other lana was cleared and thus the process went on.

Consequently the " lowlands kept growing richer from the soil washed down from the hillsides ana hrnllMht down the river and da- poatted during overflows. It waa not until in tne early forties that tne peo- pie began to pay attention to tha low lands and from 1840 to 1860, a period of 20 years, more ditching was done in this country than in all of the bal ance of the century. During that time the work was done easily, as there were many slaves in the co'nntrv and the. hottoma alon thu YftakIll throughout the length of th irtota-worn dm nd and mado rondvrnr cultlvatlon. The people began to learn something of the value of bot tom lands and but little was left un cleared and undralned. Mr. Morris then went into a discus sion of the need of and the value of co-operation- In draining lowlands. He said that It was impossible tor one take steps to protect their lands from overflow and this cannot be done ex cept D. proper co-operation. Drain age districts must be formed and the work carried out according to some well-defined plan.
