MO*
nmmm
The grand jury adjourned yesterday
afternoon, flaring concluded the busi
ness of the session. Tbo presentments
were road before Judge Thomas and
Uie Jury discharged. The county Is
very much Interested In the recommen
dations of the grand Jury, which in-
chide the adoption of the Australian
Iciliot system and the insistence that
the public health work be continued
in the county.
The presentments are as follows:
We the Grand Jurp sworn for the
October Term of Court, beg to make
tlie following presentments. After
close investigation we find less evi.
deuce of Whiskey traffic in our coun
ty than in several years, which is very
gratifying news, as well as an obe-
drncr to the prohibition laws. There
seems to he a tendency on the part
of cur Citizens to stamp out this
great evil, and we wish to commend
the^ people of Thomas County for
their co-operation in the enforcement
of this, and all other laws. Backed
by public sentiment the law is easily
enforced, but without the co-operation
of the people its enforcement is both
tedious and unnecessarily expensive.
We recomend that the Act of the
legislature of 1922, prohibiting the
catching of fish by means other than
hook mid line become operative and
be enforced in this county.
Believing the Australian ballot
system to bo a step towards purifying
politics. We recommend that the Act
of 1922, providing for the Australian
Ballot system in connection with
certain elections therein mentioned,
become operative and be enforced in
this County.
We wish to call attention to Section
.10, of I’enal Code, which requires all
employer* of females to provide seats
in place of business for the use of
aaid. females when not actually
engaged at work. Following is the
law.
“All persons and corporations em
ploying females in manufacturing,
mechanical, or merchantile establish
ments must provide suitable seats,
and permit their use by such females
when not necessarily engaged in the
active duties for which they were
employed. Any person who shall fail
to comply with the requirements of
this section, and the officers of any
corporation which shall fail to com
ply with said requirements, shall be
guiity of a misdemeanor.*'
Charges having been brought be
fore the Grand Jury of the operation
of certain establishments in which
gambling, as well as other vices, are
carried on in some sections of the
county.
Wy recommend that such places
be vigilently guarded by the officers
of the law, and that all persons guilty
of such unlawful and ugly charges
as those made bofore this body be
dealt with ns tho law prescribed.
Charges of lewd women, engaged in
their immoral traflc, is made from
different sections of our county.
Such conditions we condemn, and
urge the better citizens of our Coun.
ty to report to the officers of the law
all such cases of immorality as will
warrant conviction fn our courts.
We' recommend the enforcement
of the law against cruel treatment
of animals.
"Wc have looked into the County
rocords generally and find all of them
neatly and correctly kept, and we
especially commend the neatness, to.
gether with the filing systems in
use in our respective county offices,
end we especially commend the work
of Clerk,. Groover, Tax Collector
Heetli, Ordinary Jones and Tax Re
ceiver Norton.”
"We find good many lights broken
out in the Jail, also a very bad leak
which lias done good deal of damage
to the pinstoring. Wc recommend
that these repairs be made. Also the
pluming in the mens Toilet for
colored people in the Court House is
in bud condition. Also one leak in
the Court Room. We recommend
that these repairs be made.”
"We find that the following J. P.
Books are neatly and correctly kept:
T. A. .Tones, R. Borders, I, Smith,
M. M. Moslt, T. J. Hight, D. M.
Baker, A- S. Sandora, C. T. Gandy.
We find that the books of the J. P.
of Pavo District are not properly
itemized; We find also that Ways
Dist, BaVwick Dint, Merrillville Dlat,
Rllabellfr Dist, fail to present their
books to this body.
“We find at the County farm and
atockade every thing is splendid con.
dition. We find the stock In good
•hope and the tools and machinery
all in the houses prepared for them.
We find a marked increase i n the
poultry. Wo find the houses in a
neo* and clean condition. The
Carden has various vegetables grow,

dition.
We also inspected the Road Camps
und found them well kept and in
sanitary condition.”
"Believing as we do that education
is one of the greatest contributing
factors towards good citizenship, and
desiring that our children have the
best possible advantages along edu.
rational lilies, we commend the pro.
.•ressive spirit of the Ochlocknee
section, in the establishment of
ADJOURNED TO MONDAY

fur better results can be obtained
through this means, than by the
method now in use, and we urge that
the forwnrd looking citizens of other
omniunities keep close watch on the
results obtained through the com
munity school, that they may
..•liristalize sentiment in favor of the
best school possible in ail sections of
the County.
The reduction of the tax rote in
the County has met with most
ropular favor thorughotit the Coun.
ty, and wc recommend that our
efficient Board bf Gommf jsioncrs
use every endeavor to keep down the
vate ns low ns possible, by leaving,
off new road projects that cost large
sums of money, until the depressed
conditions now existing are im
proved.
We find that the County has no
health officer, it is the opinion of this
jury that much good has been ac.
complished through the operation of
the Ellis Health law, ns was enforced,
until this year, and we recommend
that tlie authorities through whicli it
functions put it in operation again,
we further recommend that the
Health Board see that the Health
Officer discharge all the duties of
the office.
We vote our thanks to his honor,
Tudge Thomas, for the able charge
made to this jury. We especially
thank solictor Hay for his untiring
efforts in assisting us in the ques
tioning of witnesses. And to our
Sheriff for his untiring efforts in
serving us during the term.
We extend thanks to our efficient

Atlanta, G».. Oct. 20.—Negro sec*

new faith—a religion which requires
its adherents to stand up at each re

the congregation to disclose any mis*
deed of which they are guilty—a re

with such fervor that they are heard
over dozens of blocks on quiet nights
- a religion which has banished the
razor, greasy cards, dice and mean
liquor from the most unsavory quar

The faith is known a* the Pentecos
