GRAND JURORS
ANDJHERIFF
Save nnah Jurors Want Law
Made to Force Sheriff to
Obey Their Order*.
Savannah, May 23.—It in expected
tha grand Jury, In its coming pre
sentment*, will say something about
the law which does not make it the
duty of the sheriff ot a county to
seek out crime and to bring offen
ders against the law before the
grand Jury for investigation.
The matter wns forcibly brought
to the attention of the grand Jury
last week wb»n county sheriff Screv
en refused to s^ek out alleged vio
lators of the near beer law and hail
them 'before the great inquest.
The grand Jury appealed to Judge
Charlton and the court sustained
the sheriff. Finally some subpoe
nas were sent out and served by the
officer of the grand Jury.
The grand Jurors think there is
something vitally wrong with a law
that prevents a sheriff from'executing
its orders and It is expected it will
say so in its presentments on Friday.

TORTURED TO DEATH.
Horrible Fats of Damians, Who Triad
to Kill Louis XV.
As an example of the administra-
•tion of justice in the reign of Louis
;XV. history records the trial and
ideath of Robert Damiens.
Damiens was easily excited polit
ically. He became a most danger
ous fanatic, seeing in many existing
evils a menace to the people. He
watohed the corruption and extrav
agance of Louis’ court till a crazy
idea developed in his mind that lie
must strike a blow for the good of
France. f
In the January of 1757 Louis wns
spending most of his time at the
palace of the Little Trianon, in the
great park of Versailles. The royal
family was at the palace at Ver
sailles, and, hearing that his daugh
ter, Mmo. Adelaide, had a severe
cold, Louis paid her a visit one aft
ernoon.
A private stairway led from the
royal apartments to the court,

At 3 o’clock, March 28, Damiens
was taken from the prison in the
death cart, in which were two
priests and the executioner. Arriv
ing at the place of execution, Da
miens was kept an hour waiting and
during this timo calmly watched the
preparations for his death. An in-
closure had been made by solid
planks, giving room enough for the
horses to do their deadly work. All

roofs were crowded with spectators.

The Green Cap of the Bankrupt.
There was a law in force in
France for a century or more that
compelled bankrupts to wear green
caps. This wns done to prevent
tradesmen from being imposed
upon by such ns were unublo or un
willing to pay. Successive edicts
enlarged the privileges of bank
ruptcy, but they forfeited them if
They appeared in public without
green caps. If those who cannat or
will not' pay their debts were com
pelled to wear such caps at the
present day the streets of most of
our cities would have rather a ver
dant appearance.
Keep Your Temper.
The unwritten laws both of so
ciety and good manners arc innu
merable, but there is one that we
cannot pass over in silence, and
that is—never lose your temper.
This applies especially when play
ing games. To lose one’B temper in
private is bad enough, but to do so
m public is unpardonable. It is a
crime which no hostess can forgive,
for it makes all the other guests
feci uncomfortable and disturbs
that outward calm which is the es
sence of all good society.
Only Enough For Ono.
Sheridan wns once staying at the
house of an elderly maiden lady in
the country, who wanted more of
his company than ho waB willing to
give. Proposing one day to take a

on account of the badneea of the
weather. Shortly afterward aho met
him sneaking out alone.
So, Mr Sheridan,” B.aid she, “it
has cleared up.”

for one, hut not enough for two.”
