APRIL TERM OF
MI OPENED
MONDAY H IK.
Judge Geo. W. Connor Presides
and Solicitor Abernethy Rep
resents the State? The Judge's
Charge to Grand Jury.
The April Term of Criminal
Court convened Monday a. m.
at 10 o'clock, with Judge Geo.
, ~?nnor Presiding, and Solici
tor Chas. L. Abernethy present to
prosecute for, the State. About
twenty five minutes were con
sumed in the drawing of the
Grand Jury and Judge Connor
began his charge pt 10:25, re
viewing and outlining in a very
able and forceful .manner the du
ties of the Foreman und the
Grand Jury, individually and
collectively. ?
In the beginning of his charge
the Judge explained in detail the
system of drawing grand juries
and mentioned the facft that
every man whose name is on
the jury litf of the county should
feel proud, as it is in a sense an
honor roll Judge Connor's
charge in brief was as follows:
"Your body cousins of eigh
teen men and the importance of
your duties con in general be
seen from the oath you have ju?l
taken. The same oath which
your. Foreman h>s taken, you
are to observe also. It is your
duty to present all men for
violation of the law and proletf
all men innocently accused.
Lveiy man of moral character,
who pays his taxes and enjoys
he privilege of cilizenship, is
eligible to be drawn as a juror
The Board of Comity Coramis'
sioners have indeed u respon
sible dutj* in drawing the juries
and keeping the litfs in proper
tfiape. Neither ibo Judge, the
Solicitor nor the County Com
m:s3ioners have a say as to the
men who shall sit on the grand
jury. The law provides that a
small boy under ten years of
age, who is abld neither to read
nor write, shall draw the names
from the box. For a Criminal
court thirty-six names are drawn
and these parties are then sum
moned by the Sheriff. Again
when Court convenes the grand
jury consisting of eighteen of
these thirty six men are also
drawn by a small boy, I call
this lo your attention so that you
may be absolutely free in the
?2ra,?ncc of your d?t?cs.
Mr.. Foreman, it is not neces
sary for the entire eighteen of
you 16 concur in any indidtment.
it as many as twelve of you are
on one side you mufl ad, but it
i? not necessary for all as in the
cj^of a petit jury. You have
all power in regard to excuses of
members of your body during
?he week. It is not wise for you
to excuse more than three at any
one time.
'The bills of indictment seat
loyou for you top** upon are
written caarges prepared by the
aoli?itor??j^using ona or more
pew
On
will
wing the law.
! the bills you
re of the indict
vV/ "#U .
Uvttormtlnz to <he Pale and Sickly i
men! and on the back the names
of the- witnesses who are to ap
pear before you in behulf of the
State. - In examining the wit
ness, it is not necessary that you
examine each witness before
you return a true bill, but before
you return "not a true bill," you
should examine each one whose
name appears on the bill. If
twelve of you concur as to a
party's guilt, it is your duty to so
return. Remember that you are
not passing upon the guilt or
innocence of a person, but upon
whether or not the public
welfare demands that a. prose
cution be made. It is a very
delicate duty that you have to
perform. The Judge and the
Solicitor are utterly powerless
without your co operation and
likewise you are powerless with
out our aid. As of great import
once as it is for us to prosecute
the guilty it is equally as much
our duty to see that the innocent
go free. In homicides acd mur
ders and all other crinn.s public
opinion mu& not be likened to,
but you muil decide the1 case
solely from the fntfs.
"After passing upon the bills
before you, then if any of you
personally know of #anything
going on in the county which is
shocking to your moral aense,
you should present the names of
all such parties as you think are
guilty. Look with suspicion and
caution upon any person or par
ties hanging around the grand
juty room trying to get someone
presented. Such men usually
haven't the courage to go "before
a magistrate and swear out a
warrant. Yet, on the other hand,
there ave cases when this rule
does no! apply. Of course -you
know there are different classes
of men, and you will know
whom to liilen to and whom not
to Men to."
"After you have passed upon
r'.l matters before you, it is then
your duty to mqke a thorough
?investigation of your County
Government. It is a great de
light to me to be in this hand
some Coutt House? by all odds
the mo& comodious and hand
some court house in the State.
It should be kept in gc 3d shape
at aM times. Make your report
juSl as you find things. Inspect
the county offices. FirSl go into
the Sheriff's office, see that he is
making a di'ligent effoit tocol
ledl all ta^es and that he is mak
ing due returns of al' papers.
See that good business methods
are being used. Sometimes
county Officers are hampered by
lack of means for proper con
duct of business. Go to the
Clerk's office, his. duties are very
important. Upon bis respon
sibi'ity largely rests the welfare
of minors. He has monies
hand due to various parties. See

CHAPTER VII.
When til three finally met' at the
Haii reave homo- Florence suddenly
took Jones by tho shoulders and
kissed him lightly on the check.
Jones started back, pale and dis
turbed. ? i ,
Norton laughed. He did not (eel
the ellghtcst twinge of Jealousy, but
he was eaten up with envy, as the old
wives say.
"You are wonderls* If 1 suspect tho
Princess PcrlgoS'. ' said Jones.
"I am." ThU. man 'Jones was de
veloping Into a very remarkable char
acter. The reporter found himself
Bide glancing at the thin, keen faco of
this resourceful bntlcr. Tho lobe ot
the mkn's left-ear came within tango.
Norton reached for a cigarette, but
his hands shook as be Ut It. There
was a peculiar little scar in the cen
ter of the lobt,.
"Well," said Jones, "I can find no
evidence that she has been concerned
In any ot these attain."
, "You are suspicious?"
"Of everybody," looking boldly Into
the reporter's eyes.
"Of me?" smiling.
Even ot thyself sometimes.'1
- Conversion dropped entirely aftej
this declaration.
"You'r* a taciturn sort of chap."
"Am If
"Yon are. Out an agreement 1* an
agreement, and while I'd like. to print
thla story, 111- not. We newspaper
men seldom break our word."
Joaea held oat hll hand.
"Sometimes I wish I'd started lite
right," said the reporter gloomily. "A
newspaper man la generally Improvi
dent. He never looks ahead re* to
morrow. What with my special ar
ticles to the magulnea. I earn be
tween four and Ave thousand the
year; and I've never been able to save
a cent." >
"Pprhaps you're never really tried,"
replied Jones, with a glance at hll
companion. It was a food face, strong
In outHne; a Uttle careworn, perhaps,
but free from any Indications ot dissi
pation. 5 If I hud begun life as you
did, I'd have mads real and solid use

made financiers help mo to Invest my
earnings, or savings, little as they
might be. And today I'd be living on
tho income."
"You never can tell. Perhaps a wom
an might have made you think of
those things;- but It 70U had remained
unattached up to thirty-one. as 1 have,
the thought of saving might never
have entered your bead. A man In my
present condition, financially, hus no
right to think of matrimony."
"It might bo tho saving of you if
you met and married t>/ right wom
an."
"But the right woman might bs
heiress to millions. And n poor dovll
like me could dot marry a girl with
money and hang on to his self re
spect."
'True. But there are always excep
tions to all rulea in life, except those
regarding health. A healthy roan is a
normal man, and a normal man has
no right to remain single. You proved
yoorselt a man mis afternoon, con
sidering that you dl'J~ not know 1 oc
cupied tho wheel soat. Come to think
It over, you really saved tho day.
You gavo mo tho opportunity of ateer
ibg straight for the police station.
Well, good by."<
"Queer duck!" mused tho reports!
as, after telephoning, he headed fot
his ofllco. Quoer duck, Indeed ! What
a game It was going to be! And
this man Jones was playing it like
a master. It did not matter that some
one tlse laid down the rulea; It was
the way In which they wero Inter
pre ted.
Bralne heard of tho failure. The
Black Hundred waa finding ita stock
far below par value. Four valuable
men locked up In the Tombs await
ing trial, to sa: nothing ol tho seven
gunmen gathered In .it the old ware
house. Bra) no began to suspect that
hit failures were less 'duo to chance
Ukn to calculation, that at. last he
had encountered a mind which anti
cipated his every mora He -would
hare recogulxed this Met earlier had
It not been that revenge had temporal

There wag a meeting that night of
a pa(a two' 1
if the records are being well
kept and that ihe,guardians and
administrators are making their
proper reports. Go into the
Treasurer's office and examine
his books. See if the Sheriff is
making due returns to the Treas
urer. Have a conference with
the Chairman of the Board of'
Education. See that the Road
Supt. is doing his duty. Go to
the jail and the county home
and inquire and examine into
the conditions of each. See that
the inmates are well cared for.
It is also your duty to make an
inve&igation of the convidt
camp and ascertain whether the
system of working the roads
commends itself to your judge
ment.
"Remember that in making
these remarks 1 have no reason
to suspctf anything v .ong with
your county government and
your officials and I especially
urge that you commend them in
your report if you find every
thing iq good shape." ,
The Judge finished his charge
by te!'ing the jury that if at any
time during the week tlicy
should need advice that either
he or the Solicitor would gladly
confer with them.
Judge Connor was exactly
fotty-five minutes in charging
the juiy and at 11:10 the call'ing
of the docket was commenced.
Mr. J. E. Flem'ng was appoint
ed and sworn in as Foreman of
the Grand Jury and Mr. C. E.

Missionai-y Study Class Meets.
The Missionary Study Class,
of the M. E. church, held a very
interesting meeting on Monday
afternoon at the home of Mrs.
W.J.Rollins. The leader, Mrs.
J. L Morgan, read a part of the
thirty third chapter of Dent., as
the scripture lesson, after which
Mrs. J. W. Lovelace offered a
very touching prayer. The class
tljen enterpd into the regular
work, and Mrs. Morgan, in a
very attractive and instructive
manner lead us into green pas
tures of missionary knowledge
of pioneer days.
A very interesting papor on the
life( of Peter Carter's right of
pioneer fame was prepared by
Mrs. ]. H. Harris. . It is indeed
interesting to note the changes
sincc those days and the rapid
strides that have been made in
our civilization, and when we
think of the important part the
missionary pa'Uor has played in
it'nll, our hearts go out in grati
tude to God for their lives, and
their labors of love.
When the lesson was over
Mrs. Morgan asked Mrs. J. W.
Parker to offer a closing prayer
that all might have a closer
eli tion with God by bringing
Him nearer to more points of
life and more grades of met!.
Thus on hour of pleasant Study
and exchange of instructive
thought was spent. Then the
hoiless OssUled by her daughter,
served a moSt elegant fruit snlnd
and cake, which was very much
enjoyed by nil.
Even pence has Its advantages. I
