Judge Boyd's Interesting Charge to Grand Jury Smlthtown Blockaders to the Front. - . 1 The April term of the United States District court was convened in this city oy juage Boyd Monday morning, the greater part of the first day's session being consumed in organizing the jury, delivering the judge's charge, etc. loiiowing were chosen as members Alley, it. T. Stone, Prof. Charles D. Cobb, James K. Norfleet, J. A. Dalton and 3. A. Vest were excused from jury service. V Judge Boyd's charge to the grand jury was uuique and interesting. He departed from the usual custom, and iustead of going into a lengthy expla nation of the law, he made a patriotic and instructive talk on the duties of citizenship and the importance of the proper home training. He said that the Federal courts acourts of the the people, just as the state courts are, and they were adopted and established by the great archi tects of the government. Federal courts have no police jurisdiction, as the state courts have, but are intended to try cases that cannot well be tried in the state courts. Speaking of home training. Judge Boyd said: "The foundation of sll good citizenship is laid around the heme altar, where tbe children get their first impressions. And. I regret to say that we have too little of tbe home govern ment these days. The youths are turned loose too early. Only go down tbe streets of Greensboro any night and you will see boys not over nine years old out on tbe streets, going where they please. They see things that are wrong and see men do things that are wrong., Say what yeu please, but same things of the old times are better than the things of today.- Children were formerly not allowed to stand around the corner and chew tobacco and smoke cigarettes and hear all kinds of profanity. They were kept at home, and they knew that they had to stay at home." Fletcher Smith of Btokes county, was convicted of retailing, but not sentenced.
