FIRM DEALING WITH MINOR CRIMES URGED Judge Daniels Tell Grand Jury That Is Remedy For Greater Ones JURORS RESPONSIBLE Says Oath of Grand Juror Means Much in Upholding Peace and Happiness of People | In his charge before the grand ; jury of tho September term of Martin ' County Superior court convened here | yesterday morning, Judge Frank A. Daniels, of Goldsboro, urged the body }of 18 men to deal with the minor I crimes with the firm determination to ; effect a cure for the greater ones. Judge Daniels briefly touched the me jo r crimes, the enforcement of which all people stand as one unit. And since thd people favor the en forcement of the law against all these crimes there is no trouble to obtain indictments on such chaTges. When it comes to the enforcement of the lesser crimes, so common in this day, it is quite another matter. Mr.-Dan iels describeil liquor, gambling and immoral Rabits fs some of the under lying sins that are despoiling the so ciety of today, that the youflg man who follows these three vices stands in a dangerous "Msition. The practice I or either one ui them tends to Ica» to some of the greater crimes, tto jurist declared. In fact, he sail I, then [ are very few original crimes, that most of them are the outfjiowth anil offspring of either liquor * manufae j tuing, selling, drinking, gambling or immoral practice. The oath of a grand juror means I much in upholding the peace and hap i piness of the people and the duty of ' a grand juror well performed means that most law-breakers are brought \ into court for trail, the Judge said.' In the charge, it was pointed out ' that if the juror faila in this duty, ] ii.cn will make and sell liquor which j will not only ruin others but will | eventually destroy all. will lend } the gambler downward step by ste.r ! until he robs and steals; it will brinfc' the immornlist down in disease and disgrace. Those who thus break the laws (ft our country do not build the schools they down; they do not support the church, but frequently curse it. In short, the". Judge, said, "He who stands against the '.aw to disobey it, stands against the govern ment and all the rfvilized societies." Baby Dies of Meningitis In Rocky Mt.
