, FUTURE STATUS OF
CHARGE TO BODY AT BEGINNING
OF FEERUARY TERM COURT
WAs FolsmsuL.
il T . .
t the opwnt court this morning
for the Febrauly term Judge Gower
made his charge a brief one, but it re
vealed that he thought the grand jury
is largely responsible for the future
statys of the home. The home is a
,social government within itself, and if
people are careless there, they may
well expecot a careless observance of
the laws which are upheld in the
L courts through the investigations of
grand juries, he said.
Judge Gower referred to children
urder age driving automobiles, to the
‘easy access of liquor to the young
boys who ride in automobiles through
the night and load up on it, even at a
ball game, He told the grand jury
that -it haq the right to put a man in
jail and keep him there when he re
fused to divulge where he got his li
quor, He said there are men in jail
in this circuit ncw because they have
refused to tell where they got their
liquor. :
Judge Gower paid the court’s res
pect to the pistol. He wished everv
one had to weigh not less than seven
pounds and each h&d to be four feet
long. In its present form men use it
hz said, to kill other men—and i»
times of peaee the law makes no pro
visions for carrying such a- weapon
for such purposes.
Homer Lamb was made foreman of
the grand jury and E. F. Tison, clerk,
F. M. Coker was chosen bailiff. The
work of the session of court stated im
‘ediately.
