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 8 wxt grand jury Veffcigation Will make for the a-wh ^\) U gh of the ih- County and in the name of jus- tice.“-South Georgian, Aug, HO. 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 Oapts. D. P, Luke, J. J. Parrish, Judges R. K. Turner, H . L. Lov¬ ett, O. L.

Citizens •. • who i Were sworn to make true 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 No, won’t take it back...... “we don’t happen to be built that way.” lloly Moset ! Such words might have been expected of a Corbett or Sullivan but hardly of a country editor who had not been in the county long enough to pay his poll tllx.
