FOREMAN AND GENTLE MEN" OF THE GRAN') JURY: It was a lequiremcnt of the Com mon Lav. in England, which has he come a part of tin* body of our law :ii lliis Stale, that a Grand Tins, be fore entering upon the discharge of it duties, should he instructed hv the presiding! judge as tc? the law governing their deliberations and investigations. \nd in obedience to thai law. the j court will endeavor, as hest it can. to make plain to you the scope of | your inquiries and tin* method of . your procedure. W rongs are divisible into two wrongs: private wrongs and public , wrongs: with the former class you are not concerned, as each individu al must apply to the proper tribunal for redress of such wrongs as are private and affect him alone. W ith public wrongs however, which are defined to be, "a breach and violation of public rights and duties which effect the whole com* munity. considered as a commun ?t and more commonly designat j ed as crimes and misdemeanors, you j are concerned, ami the whole scope j of vour inquiry should be directed j to the investigation of^such crimes as I have been committed in the body of vour countv. ARTICLE 1. SECTION 12, of the Constitution of our State provides. ? hat. "No person shall be put to an swer anv criminal charge, except as hereinafter allowed, but bv indict ment ? presentment and impeach ment." To this provision of the Constitution there are cetlain excep tions. viz: All "rimes wherein the punishment prescribed by law can not exceed a fin<* of fifty dollars, or i^nrisonment for not more than thirty days, of which justices of th" neace are given exclusive, original Jurisdiction, and such crimes, desig nated as "petty misdemeanors." of which, courts established by the Leg islature, inferior to the Superior Courts of the Slate are ?riven a like Jurisdiction. The iustice of the peace however, must assume juris diction within twelve months from the date of the commission of the offense, and the inferior court with in such time as may be specified in the Act creating the same, otherwise and after that date, the Superior Courts will have concurrent jurisdic tion with them. So Mr. Foreman and Gentlemen, for all practical purpose?, the Grand Turv is the fountain of the criminal law. the souice from which all pros ecutions for crime must flow. Such being the case the responsibility resting upon you as Grand Jurors of your counlv is great indeed. You are an integral part of the machine ry of the courts of your State, and without action on your part, the So licitor for the State and the Cour' itself, can neither prosecute nor trv anv one for a violation of the crimi nal law. Therefore, the peace, good ordcr ind morality of the community de nends in a large measure upon th diligence, intelligence and honest-* with which you perform the impor "ant duties restinc upon you. an' vou alone. On the one hand yo hould disregard trivial offense '??rought for purposes of persecutor nd on the other, if you fail to indie hose guilty of serious infractor ?f the law, you will bring the la' ?nd the courts into disrepute, an-' vill vourselves merit the contemr of all good citizens.

Read the De tails \ latest model Pontine Hiz Six. a beautiful nvpr^tuffed three piece liv ing room suite. a magnificient cab inet \ ?* * Yicrtola. as well as many ollie valuable prizes constitute tlie greatest and c< -lliest aggregations of awards ever offered readers of a newspaper in this vieinily. and are to he distributed 1 ?\ Tin* Cherokee Scout in a Circulation Campaign of si\ weeks duration, full details of which is in a lug double page an nouncement elsewhere in this issue. Tin* publisher of The Scout in his desiie to offer the people of Mur phy, Andrws and Cherokee county a newspaper capable of fulfilling its t: lie mission throughout the country, has found it desirable to put the paper in many new homes in this territory. While the ordinary meth od of employing paid solilitors rould have been utilized, this meth od. at best, s rather slow of accom plishing the goal sot hv the publish er of The Scout. Therefore this method has been employed. Fai... v.* The K'vnnfr The plan hf the Circulation Drive has been endorsed by leading men and women wherever it hap been used. It has been 0. K.'d ?f)y the most skeptical as being the frirest and most equitable plan yet devised whereby a person may earn an auto mobile or other valuable piize dur ing spare time over a short period. It offers a highly dignified method of i tiring that which ordinarily requires months and sometimes years of labor and saving to acquire. Am bition and a close application to a pleasant occupation during spare time is all that is required to suc ceed in the Circulation Drive. In fact, one will be surprised at the ease with which rapid progress is made after they enter and determine to succeed. The fact that one is em ployd is no bar to one's success in t he campaign as it is stretched over a sufficient period of time to allow anyone to sell all their friends and acquaintances and get their subscrip lions during spare time only. Valuable Prizes In selecting the Pontiac Big Six Tudor Sedan, for first prize, which was purchased from The D. & T). Motor Co.. The Scout feels that it has selected one of the most beauti ful automobiles on the market re gardless of price or make. The al most unprecedented sales of the Pontiac Biz Six alone, is proof of its real value and dependability. The living room suite is a beautiful overstuffed and of the latest design of mohair upholstery. The victro la is the latest creation of the Victor factory. These two prizes were pur purchased from W. D. Townson's "where your dollar buys a lot," music headquarters for Cherokee county. The quality of these prizes is attested by the well known mer chant from which they were pur chased. The beautiful white gold wrist watches were purchased from E. C. Moore, Murphy'* popular jew elry store. Mr. Moore also sells three popular makes of automobiles, Whippets, Willys Knight and Dodge. Just Six Weeks The Circulation Drive will be short and snappy. It will be inter esting from start to finish, inasmuch as the time allotted is of brief dila tion. Just six weeks and two days (Oemtlouftd co pa ??
