Established 1899 judge Cllne's First Charge Able Exposition Of tti3 Lav BfOre Monntain Grand Jnries. . . That Judge E. Bfc: Cjins may be counted"on to be ainefciful dis penser of justice is evideat from his masterful charge to the grand jury which he delivered at his tirst court at Waynesville and the other western bounties where he has since presided. Her quotes from Montesquieu.i "If we examine the cause of all defiance of law we shall see that it is to be found in the failure to punish crime, not in the moderation' of the penalty." He thinks Mont esquieu's powerful mind almost foresaw the splendid culmina tion of our jury system of today, when he says: "In moderate government, where the life ot- the meanest subject is deemed precious, no man is stripped of his honor or property until after due inquiry; and no man is bereft of life till his very country has attacked him—an attack that is never made without leaving him , all possible means of making his defense." Judge Clines exposition of the criminal law is clear and thorough He precedes it with an ornate and scholarly foreward which is in part as follows: I would have you realize that the laws we are gathered here to administer under the solemnity of our mutual oaths are the culmi ration of the patriotism and pri vation, the-virtues and vigilance of our great ancestry;-that they are to be administered for the common good of the whole peo ple as well as for the punishment of the individual who has trans gressed them, and that the p si tion you occupy as Grand Jurors is neither one of trifling impor tance nor lightly to be regarded. You are the chosen representa tives of the people of this county —you are the exemplification and the guardians of self-govern ment. Into your hands are com mitted in large measure the hap piness and safety ol have emerged from the gloom and travail of the past of which I have spoken. The office of the Grand Jury stands today in the white light of our advanced civili zation, at once the bulwark of a people's freedom and a sure de fense against the encroachment of crime which would sap our civic life and destroy our moral standards of society. There is no position which needs to be filled with more care or a more conscientious discharge of duty. You should regard the work not as drudgary but as an opportuni ty. The ideal citizen of today is the man who is giving of his means, his time and his brains to educate the ignorant, drive out disease, erect asylums for the unfortunate, and make war upon crime. He has learned that man cannot live unto himself alone and that the life which is most pitiful in its utter failure is that one which has contributed noth ing to the general good. And never before has the searchlight of publicity been so turned upon the conduct of public affairs and the actions of public officials as it is in America today. The great masses of the people are waking, up to the fact that the cause of good government rests with them. They are learning that the standard,to which we rise is the sum total of the character, the feeling, the ideals, the hopes of the people who compose the State; that the very best form of administration of government is where its officers come from the ra «ks, complete their public ser vice, >nd return to the ranks again, tWe to work unselfishly for the Staw s best welfare.. North Carina today is the ideal AmericanXommonwealth; there are some ricftxsome poor, but the mass of our pt>mlation is composed of the great productive middle class whose ancestry were men noted for their "plain livw and high thinking." All ask of the government is the en actment and execution of laws bearing equally upon all, and the carrying on of those philanthrop ic, charitable, educational and other enterprises that have come to be regarded as the duty of the modern state, alive to the up- Viiiding influences that are con ceded to be possible only by pub lic Undertaking. And in the ideal commonwealth you would expect to finfl the ideal citizen, a man who .lots his beat in any position to which he is called and thinks n ° t * B ' t tn humble or insignifi cant for him if it marks the way *> f duiy.

Birds In * the First Rank A Judges High Tribute to Wes tern North Carolina Poultry, To the Editor of the Democrat: I notice an article in the Febru ary issue of the Industrious Hen from Judge D. M. Owen, of Athens, i'enn., in writing up several shows he had judged in North Carolina and Sputh Caro lina. He says to the poultrymen of East Tennessee and other sections: "When you go .against the breeders of Western North Caro lina and South Carolina and their birds, you must have good stock, if. you get a place. "Now just remember this, and get ready for the next Appala chian Show with your best. "I have given the breeders of North Carolina and South Caro lina n& "taffy" in this short ar ticle. |am simply stating facts. ! "If £ny one thinks the poultry industry is in its infancy, go there and be convinced Other wise. They are making big money out of poultry in that section.," Owen has a worldwide reputation as a judge of- fine poultry, and when he writes such an article warning the poul tryrpen t>f East Tennesssee and other sections about our birds in Western North Carolina, we feel we are making great strides in our poultry business. Could he have been at cur poultry exhibit last fall, I fell sure he would s ?nd out more warnings. Judge Jeffries was greatly sur prised when he judged the birds nere and has written several articles about *;he fine class of birds exhibited. lam writing this article to "boost" up the poultry raisers in our town and county and to get them together and lets organize an association and have a. still better show this fall and show the world what we have, and are doing. Now is the time to start in this business with a few good birds or some good eggs to hatch from. It costs a very little more to have prood birds and costs no more to raise them and you can demand and get far better prices for your extra birds and eggs than vou can when you raise "scrub" stock. Why don't more of the parents interest their boys and girls in raising poultry? You never know what talents these young people possess, until vou let them develope them. Tliev will learn many valuable lessons in patience, management and perseverance, that will stand tbem in hand in the years to come in raising poultry. Take the case of Edgar D. Yoder, the White Orpington breeder. His mother says, "He nearly worried me to death 'swapping' roosters when he was a boy and he watched every coop in town to rind a better rooster." Now, he is realizing and making a success of his boyish talent. Lets all get together and do our best in raising better birds and organizing the Poultry Asso ciation, and make Hickory noted for her fine birds and good shows. Editor Banks is doing his be3t. Let's all boost together. Presbyterian Church Notes The pastor has gone to Mitch ell county this week in a meeting at Estatoa, 'but expects to be back on Saturday, to preach on Sunday.

To the Editor of the Democrat: I wish to call attention of the road contractors of the county to the fact that the time is here to commence work on the public roads. Most of the contracts lay special emphasis on the width of the roads, and call for a uni form width of 18 feet, which I hope the contractors will give us, at all places as near as posible; for before we can make the road bed the right shape we must have this width. I want the contract ors to stand by the above width . even if we should fail a little in the height of the road bed. Then in another year we will not have to woiry about width and can give full attention to the proper shape of the' road bed. I still haye a few sections of * road unsold in several townships. In Jacobs Fork 1 have three sections; in Mountain Creek two sections; in Caldwell four sec tions; Hickory one section, Clines one section. There are about 15 miles in three sections. We have in the county about 520 miles of public roads, and all are now under contract except this dis tance. I have worked hard aud talked much to contract these unsold sections, offering same at the price per mile which obtains in the different townships, I want to say again to the people living on these vacant sections that they ought for their own sakes to take the sections and work them as their neighbors are doing. They can work them cheaper than any one else, since they live on them, and they can do more work for the money because it is their road, and they use it more than any one else. If any one is in- - trested in this matter, write me and at the first opportunity I will go and write up the contracts.' A good number of the contractors have gone to work and I have seen some of the roads, and am highly pleased, as the people generally are, and believe this year will see the awakening of all to the need and value of good roads. In inspecting the roads I tried to be fair and make ear nest request that the full moneys -worth be given to the public, and I believe the contractors will give this to us. If any contract or has not yet secured his road drag, let him do so at once. They can be had at Mr. Gilbert Cline's blacksmith shop in Newton. D. E. SIGMAN, Superintendent of Roads.
