' Ugly charges reviewed,
THE COUNTY DISGRACED.
WHO DID IT?
We have heard a great deal
recently of arrests for trivial
charges and for charges with no
evidence to sustain them. Cases
hre brought into the county
Court that the Judge is oblidged
to discharge for want of evidence
and Others the solicitor some
times has to give up without
trial because he sees that there
is nothing in them. Yet in every
one there is cost and mileage for
the bailiff. The officers of the
court are tired of it and yet
when cases are brought before
them they have to take cogni¬
sance of them. Other reports
gay that officers in some parts of
the CoUnty make arrests with¬
out Warrants and accept settle¬
ments and turn their prisoners
loose, Others say officers have
offered to accept cost and give
Up prisoners. Now, if these
things are true it is a disgrace to
county, arid if they are
somebody is doing a lot
reckless talking, ^At all

County and in the name of jus-

Reply By Officers.
in regard to your charges
last Yv-toks issue of the
GeoUGIAN, 1 desire to say a few
Words in replv. The charges are
made, that officers in
Harts . . of . c the ,, county ,, issue .
tants hod make arrests upon the
m§st trivial causes in order
get costs aud mileage; also that
> of justice courts throughout the
\u«g comity generally without m a-
^uy exceptions or distinct-
ions. Now these are serious
. charges, and an investigation is
{called for thd benefit of the
county. It is possible, and en¬
tirely probable, that these char¬
ges are well founded in some
particular instances. It is also
possible and entirely probable,
that there are officers in the
county who are entirely innocent,
of these general 3 lura and in
justice to them, as well as to the
county, we call for an investi-
gation. we call also Upon the
South Georgian, or Whosoever
prefers the charges, to make
them more specific and the pub-
lie demands the names of those
guilty of these base indiscrimi-
nations. It is not right that
those entirely innodettt should
rest under these viilideations for
a single moment ju3t because it
is easier for an edilor to general¬
ize than it is to
If there is a single honest,
careful^ painstaking Justice
Court officer in the county a
grate injustice i§ done him and
he stands condemned under
these loose generalities. There
are some who resent the entire
insult and will not rest under
the chrageS as prefered. So, Mr.
Editor you are called upon to
particularize, prove or retract
the statement as made injustice
to some of the
Justice Court Officers.
Comment By South Georgiail.
The above is just what we
want. It is written by Mr. A. A-
Webb) one of the best officers
and straightest men in Berrien
county, and we want the co-op¬
eration of just such men, in pm-
lifying the whole system. We
do not propose to particularize
right now, but we are prepared
to tell the grand jury just what
we have heard, and let them do
the investigating. So far as ever
taking back anything we say,
until we know we are wrong, we
don’t happen to be built that
way.—South Georgian.
Bomb time ago the Nashville
South Georgia#, the recently
self-appointed critic of Berrien
County, preferred serious charg¬
es against officers in this county.
The charges as published are
printed at the bead of this ar¬
ticle, Verbatim et literatim and the
South Georgian is disposed to
drop the ^subject without meet¬
ing any argument or furnishing
any proofs, with the charges to
stand indefinitely against the is¬
suing and arresting officers of
the county.
As will be seen above v an ar¬
ticle was prepared and sent to
the South Georgias in reply to
these charges, with just and
proper demands made. This ar¬
ticle was agreed upon after a
conference of several Justice
Court officers of this section of
the county and was fully in ac-
covj} with the sentiment of all
officers throughout the county.
Justice A. A. Webb, of the Adel
district, mailed the article and
asked for its publication. At
the conclusion of the reply tile
South Georgian discloses Jus¬
tice Webb’s name(a discourtesy
that he did not expect) even at
the hands of thi South Georg¬
ian). He was given a personal
exoneration and a little taffy
and u sass” mixed. Neither of
these were asked for, nor were
they appreciated in the spirit
given.
If an injustice Was committed
it was against the officers as a
whn’e and not. Webb in particu¬
lar. It was in behalf of these
lifedong and time-honored citi¬
zens of the county that the arti¬
cle was written. Such men as

the charges were looked into and

body of intelligent, ’ honest and
upright ... Citizens •. • who i
Were sworn

Nearly two month* have elapsed
since these investigations were
and yet this sharp discerner
makes no note of the fact. The
charges still stand as at first
proclaimed by the official organ,
While the grand jurors are
sworn not to disclose the dele¬
eration of that body, yet in mat-
ters of great concern like this it
would have been an easy matter
to ascertain that the grand jury
did look into these charges and
found no cause for action and
furthermore the bocks submitted
for inspection were pronounced
in proper shape by a competent
committee,
But it is useless to ask the
paper that published these char¬
ges on it’s editorial page to make
any retractions; they “dont take
any thing back” they “are not
built that way.” The confess
sion that “so far as ever taking
back any thing we say. until we
know we are wrong, we don’t
happen to be built that \vay”,
does not argue well for anybody
But no. These easily framed
charges would not be withdrawn.
They must stand. These officers
are “a disgrace to Berrien Coun¬
ty” and an investigation is call¬
ed for in behalf of the

words might have been expected
of a Corbett or Sullivan but
