Court Proceedings. Judge Estes reached Calarkesville Monday noon and immediatley or¬ ganized the court empaneled the jury, called over the docket and adjourned for dinner. After meeting again he at once gave the Grand Jurors the law in charge which was plain, pointed, and full ot the law as to their duty under the oath that the solicitor administered to them. He made it plain as to their duty in regard to public buildings, public officers, and men who violate the law by carrying the implements of death for the purpose of taking the lives of their fellow men. In regard to the morals of our country, he never left a word un¬ said that could possibly aid in bet¬ tering our condition. When he spoke of the crimes being committed by vagrant ne- gros and white men he was very sympathetic, not for the criminals, but for the sufferers, and charged the jury that they cause cases to be made against every man that had no employment, and be brought to trial at once. This is one of the most important charges he could have given them and if strictly^ en¬ forced will have a tendency to sup¬ press crimes of this nature to some extent at least. As to the public roads he made plain the necessity of making changes in th e public highways. Where they now went over dim- cult hills go around on the sides fill up the mud holes with rock gravel.
