GENERAL PRESENTMENTS-
Hpustepjgyperior Court—November
• Term--1879-
"We, the Grand Jurors, sworn,
chosen and selected for the second
- week of the November Term, 1S79,
oE Houston Superior Court, having
keen carefully and particularly
charged by his Honor,|J udge Sim
mons, deem it advisable, for in for,
:mation, that portions of said charge
be embraced in our presentments,
to-wit: -
Gentlemen of the Grand Jury :
The Grand Jury of last week had
very little opportunity to look into
county affairs, or criminal matters,
in consequence of being called on
to try an important and trouble
some ciyjl cagg. A greater respon,
sibility therefore devolves on you.
than is usual with grand juries of
the second week of court. Before
giving you certain matters specially
jn charge, let me call your atten
tion to the power with which yon
are invested. Have you ever con
sidered l he power and authority
that brings you here twice a year,
from your business and homes, and
requires you to ta|e the oa,th that
has been administered to you. Tt
is not the mere summons issued by
the Clerk, and served by the Sher
iff Did you ever think why it is
that yon are brought here * It is
because the people of the State, in
their sovereign capacity, have insti
tuted these laws, and I believe the
people of^Houstcn county have al
ways been law abiding and obeying
citizens ; and it is in obedience to
the law, and for the purpose of car
rying out, and. enforcing the lawn,
that you are here'to-day. You are
here in obedience to the summons
of the law, not merely by the au
thority of the Judge, Qlerk or
Sheriff, but in obedience to that
authority whiclijis above us"all, by
authority and mandate of the law.
The oath you have just taken,
makes you officers of that law,
which you, as part of the sovereign
people, have said shall be the law.
You are now sot apart'and madia as
much officers for the execution of
the law, as the Sheriff, Clerk or
Judge. And it devolves on you to
know the lpw and yqur duties ;
you have sworn that you will dili
gently inquire, and true present
ments make, of all such matters
and tilings as shall be given you in
charge, or shall come to your
knowledge touching the”present
.service, etc.* This oath is so plain
any man of ordinary capacity can
understand it. It requires you to be
diligent in your inquiries to find out
jf the law has.been violated. You
are intelligent men, and some of
you no doubt have been on grand
juries before, and it is unnecessary
for me to enlarge on your duties.
Your oath requires that you shall
keep secret the State’s copnsfj,
your own, and yonr fellows, not
only during the term of court, but
during your natural life, unless call
ed upon in a court of justice to tes
tify." Some grand jurors make a
serious mistake in this matter; and
forget the obligation of their oaths.
The reason for this secrecy is ob
vious ; you may have a friend who
js charged witlj crime, and there
may be sufficient evidence before
you to satisfy you-that he should
be fried before a jury, and your
path calls on you not to leave any
one unpresented fronj fear, favor
or afiection; and in accordance
with that oath you would be com
pelled to vote for a true bill; and.
neither you, nor your fellows, can
go to that friend and say you ditj-
not vote hr ih:-i bill, and yonr
friend hps.no right to know who >
propenb-1 him o» V'toil f< r the bill j
Or vllt r -K l„ Ltu iU tlw-Ii . L.
twelve of your body is the action of
the whole, and they .have no right
to go out and say they did not votp
for it. 3rt would be a violation of
your oath to tell the judge on the
bench, the solicitor general, or
even your wives, or anybody, else.
It is improper for %j$y one to ap
proach you to find out what is goiug
on in the grand jury room, and
would be u contempt of court, and
if such a thing should occur, report
it to the court, and they shall be
punished. While yon should not
shrink from presenting, your friend
through favor or affection, neither
should yoa present anyone from
envy, hatred or malice. Yon stand
on a high platform, you are set
apart by the as judges and
you know nobody, you liave no
friends, nor foes, but simply are
officers of the law, fearlessly dis»
charging your duty. In addition
to special matters that I am rei
quired to give you in charge, I
call your immediate ant$ special at
tention to an atrocious murder
which has been committed in your
county, in the town of Fort Yalley
last week, the former grand jury
not having opportunity to look into
the matter. It appears from the
newspapers that a man of the name
of Walker was arrested on a charge
of burglary, and carried to Fort
Yalley and there imprisoned, why
I can not tell, as court was in ses-
sjpH; I understand the solicitor
gi njral directed that the party ar
rested should be brought here, as
there was no necessity for a com
mittal trial : but Walker was kept
there and was taken out in the
night and hung. You are officers
of the the lavy as well as I am, it is
your swovj} 4uty to inquire into this
matter ; I call this Murder because
it is pothing else. Every man in
this country when accused of crime
is entitled to be tried by the law,
no man, -nor men, have the right to
usurp the law’s authority, and
seize and punish men without the
sanction of law, either with or with
out evidence. H one man ; or a
set of men, usurp the prerogatives
of the law to try criminals, and
condemn and execute men without
trial, no matter how deeply dyed
in crime; then another set of men
can take and try you, or the best
men in the country, against whom
they may have il{ will, of segk re
venge and try them withoutlaw and
without judge or jury. It is not
only your duty, but the very safety
and liberty of the people requires
you fearlessly to search out, and if
possible, bring to justice the perpe
trators ofjjthis outrageous crime.—
These things must be arrested with
a strong hand, or we know not
where it will stop ; mob law, and
vigilence committees, are irrespon
sible and ungovernable assemblies,
they may try, or condemn innocent
men, and execute them, and thus
destroy the very foundation of
civil society.”
Touching the patters generally
charged, the Grand Jury has made
diligent inquiry, without fear, favor
or affection, reward, or the hope
thereof: and as of more serious
import report. that toaching the
lynching in Fort Yalley, we have,
with patient and antiring zeal and
energy, investigated, from day to
pay, the recent murder committed
upon one Henry Walker, a burglar
confined in tjjp guard house in Fort
Valley on the night of November
24th, 1879.
After an examination of fifty-
three witnesses from Fort Yalley,
composed of37 whites and 16 ne
groes, taken from such as would be
likely to throw light on the subject,
including all the Municipal authori
ties of said town, we regret to say
that we have not been able to
discover any evidence that would
cou”ict or eyen lljroy suspicion on
the guilty parties. This crime is
the more atrocious from the fact
that the Superior Court jras theu in
session in the county ; and evinces
a disregard for law and order hardly
to b.e looked for in a civilized and
law abiding community. This mur
der, unexplained, is calculated to
cast a suspicion upon the people
of Fort Vallgy, and it gives us
pleasure to say that they have res
ponded fnliy io oui demands in the
investigation. It may be probable
that the confederates of the decease
ed, of which it ‘is’ believed there are
many, fparing that he might impli
cate thpm in soqie pr all of the
primes in wkjch he Ifad been engag
ed, by burning States evidence, con°
eluded the best thing they cquld do
would be to hang him, as the most
effective w^y of escaping nunjsimient
thepselycs.' This theory is born%
opt by the testimony tye have heard
insofar as p?e may infer from plausi:
ble reasoning, there being no airect
.evidence. Expressing our deep ,cqn r
demnation of the act, and" crap r.egrct
that the guilty party or parlies can
not ha rcaph^, We are slijl coippell;
ed to pay fKai wo have made eycry
*#>rt io ths£ en-1 without avail. I«
affords up pleaspjp
to- pm. on record the iuct that Judge
Simmons has? left undope no act,
whtc’i would facilitate a full inv* sti-
galiua, and we desue to give our
; hearly approyal to his charge in this
case. * > - —
The committee on Public Bpiid-.
Wge, Roads and Bridges-, report the
same to be in gcjod condition yyi
not in nep4 of repairs, except f|p
following named places. Tile bridge
overEcherconnee creek, known as
Maxwell Turbpike, is in bad eondL
tioD^ and we Recommend the coun
ty Commissioners to have said
bridge repaire : as soon as possible.
Also the bridge at old Slappcy mill
seat we find to be in an almost impas^
sible condition, and would call the
a«en^9P ^f eoqnty Commission
ers especially to it, and urge that
they take immediate steps to have
the same repaired or rebuilt. We
also call the attention of the corns
missioners of the Sixth District to
tt:e condition of the road leading
from Barne s Mill to Wesley Chapel
Chvtrclfc and request th^t they have
said road properly repaired imme»
diitcly. The road leading from
Perry to Fort Valley is in - goqd
condition, except the Poland nill,'
\y\ijph needs work done on it;
we Recommend it be done a§ soon as
possible. The work we recommend
is, the cutting down of the hill on
each side, an.d a culvert placed in
the bottom and the dirt thrown on
ca^sh side so as to make the road
safe, the hill beiDg now in a danger
ous condition by reaspa of being too
steep. We recommend also that
the rock obstruction on said road
pear B f.y creek, at the.Culler place,
be removed and the road put in bets
tiT condition and widened at that
point. Also report the road near
Echeeconnee Iron Bridge in dangers,
ous condition at a small bridge over
a ditch near Leaptrot’s.
Much complaint haying been made
of keeping open the doois of whisky
shops on the Sabbath, we have made
diligent inquiry, but fpid it impossi
ble for us to obtain such evidence as
is nsees-ary to convict any trans*
gressor. We most earnestly request
the town a ithorities of Perry and
Port Valley to aid the suppression of
supli immoral practices, about
which we have been so carefully
charged by his Honor, and request
nor successors to continue tlieiuveso
tigation until the violators of the
law are punished op the offeqccr dis*
continued.
We have examined by appropriate
committees, the books of 'the Tax
C Hector, and find them well and
ueatlv kept, for which the collector
deserves, the thanks of the county.
They show the following exhibit:
Amount of \axcs col ected to this date $173 f 2,25.

'Ye call the attention of insur
ance agents, or parties perfecting
Insurance with foreign companies
to an apt defining who are author
ized to do business in our State, as
we learn there are violations of the
jaw in this parjipujar, whicn by rea
son of the late hour it comes bgfore
our body, we are not able to lully
ipYestjgaie. We Jjppe the next
Grand Jury will investigate this
matter and brirg the offenders to
justice.
We take occasion to congratulate
our citizens upon the general pros
perity of the county. We have
been blessed with abundent crops,
our,people live in; peace and hare
unonf, there is no antagonism by rea
son of political or other troubles,
our affairs are administered by cares
ful and competent officials. Qur res
laiions with the colored people are of
the most satisfactory kind and it af*
fords us pleasure to bear testimony
to their increasing industry and
lapdable efforts to become property
holders.
In taking leave of his Honor,
Judge Si mmons we return our thanks
for courtcpies to this body, and for
the fearless and impartial manner
in which he administers the duties
of his rpsppnsibje position.
Also to Solictor General C. D-
Ba'tlett, we are under obligations
for uniform courtesies and prompt
ness in giving us needed information.
We request that these present
ments be published in the Home

and 2.446,800 to the standing *army!
France has a regular army of 1,689,000
men, which, with the territorial army
of l,208,Gpp, makes a tphil of
2,-897,000. In 1892 this wili be in
creased by: 300,000 reserve men. The
Germcp army consists, of 2,004,300
men. fra 1892 the total strength of It
