Commercial failures for Ihe month of February were far below

liabilities.

* The supply of wheat March 131 H was 248,101,000 bushels and
on March 1, 1019, 453,990,000 bushels. This looks like flour ought to
get cheaper.

It looks very much like the cotton manipulators and speculators
are determined to keep cotton under 30 cents.
It is clearly to the interest of every farmer to plant less cotton
and more feed stuff.

The news from Europe does not sound good to the ear for the

We cannot always have things just to suit us, but the fellow who

If we all could run a government according to our own peculiar

THE WORK OF A GRAND JURY.
The work of a grand jury is surrounded with many obstacles and
difieultieswhieh makes it impossible sometimes to get at the bottom
of things calling for investigation.
Under the laws of our country, however, a grand jury is neces
sary in every county for the purpose of exposing evil doers, ferriting
out crimes and recommending those measures that are for the good
of the general public.
A lot of matter comes before this body of a trivial nature, as well
as many things that are to he regretted, because good citizens are
always pained to know there are persons in their county who wilful
ly violate law, who disregard the qualifications of good citizenship
and the betterment of society.
It is an exceedingly dificult undertaking to locate all transgress
ors, and frequently parties escape the punishmeht law-abiding citi
zens demand, because of the almost seeming impossibility to obtain
sufficient evidence to bring about a conviction.
Asa result of this, it is often true that those violators who are
most dangerous and harmful to society at large, whose transgressions
are more far reaching in their evil effects go unpunished, while the
violators of lesser crimes, who do not so much aitect and disrupt the
morals and well fare of society in general are apprehended and
brought before the bar of justice.
Still the work of a grand jury is benificial in deteriiig those dis
posed to ignore the obligations of good citizenship, and while these
bodies may occasionally fail in duty, er in judgment, they are
composed of men who desire to do their duty and discharge the ob
gations imposed upon them with an eye single to what they conceive
is just and right.
It is not a pleasant task to perform, but while trying to perform
if one gets a glimpse of all the phases of humanity,with its weaknesses
its frailties and its prejudices; and the saddest of all, the lack of a
real and manly conception of the sacredness of an oath.
' ~ ' v HALF AND HALF COTTON.
. -4 <,.
• •- fc - I• ~
The Times wishes to remind its readers who are cotton planters,
to the communication in its last week’s issue from Mr. John M. Will
iams, one of Georgia’s large cotton buyers.
It is an important and serious matter for every farmer to consid
er just now, for cotton planting will soon begin in this immediate sec
tion. . . .
The half and half cotton lias been grown quite extensively in
Barrow and adjoining counties, and especially is this true of the
Winder territory. . _ , ,
This fact Inis materially injured our city as a cotton market,
from the fact all large buyers and exporters have refused to handle
Winder cotton. . , , , ....
The half and half cotton on account of its short staple is bringing
from $lO to $25 per hale less than the big hole varieties.
It is therefore, a suicidal policy for our farmers to longer contin
ue growing a cotton that affects the cotton market and for which they
U \ man may be warned against the danger of putting his hand in
the lion’s mouth, but if be disregards the warning he qjust suiter the
consequences.
