P-M' CARROLL FREE PRESS. PARHOLLTOX, GA., Dec. 28, 1888 From the Savannah News. Petit Juries. The Morning News contained an' Congressman Hammond, of this | articJe a feVday^oon tJte Unties ;1 j.; and responsibiUtieMf grand jurors. There is reason to believe that it met with general approval. It may not he amiss to say a word about the duties and responsibilities of petit jurors, which have almost as State, has been critically ill Washington, but at last accounts be was much improved. W e see it stated that there is not an editor or printer in the lunatic asylum, although all other trades and professions are represented. T4«‘ Coweta Advertiser is a good pafiet, but itAvill persist in spelling jj “Jiyipynial.” wliicliit should not do. The maimed soldiers are rapidly drawing the money allowed them under law as. commutation for arti ficial limbs, nearly two hundred applications having been made up to this time. Ex-President Jefferson Davis has captured the Supreme Court of the United States, so to speak, at least it hhs rendered a decision sustain ing his claim to the large estate be queathed him by the will of Mrs. Sarah Ann Dorsey, who died in Mississippi some ’years ago. It is not stated whether or not Mr. Justice Harlan let slip the oppor tunity of rendering a dissenting ppiniou.' “It has been customary,” says the Times-Deniqcrat, “to refer to Texas svs owing its' large prosperity to northern immigration and enter prise. Without saying a word .against northern emigrants, who are the very best of citizens, it is quite evident they have played a small part in the development of the State. New England has con tributed just 4,0G4 to the population of Texas, the rest of the country north of the Ohio, 00,894, and the older southern states, 556,987. Of the native population of . Texas to day 93 per cent, is southern and 7 ' per cent, northern.” . A dispatch from Atlanta to the Augusta Evening News says: “Gov. McDaniel has revived the suit against the security of Renfroe, He has employed B. H, Hill, jr. , to assist tjie attorney general. The suit seeks to recover interest on the State’s money paid by the State de positors to, Mr. Renfroe. It is hard ly possible that there will be any recovery, as the legislature ordered similar surt against a former treas urer stopped and thus set a prece dent.” The Atlanta correspondent of the Macon Telegraph says he heard a one legged man in Atlanta make the following remarks on the com parative disadvantage arising from loss of an arm arid the loss of a leg: it’s all- wrong to make a larger allowance for a fellow who has lost a leg than for one who lost an arm. Why? With one good leg and a wooden mate you can get about welldnough, do anything, in kind ofbusiriess,and with the ability to walk and the use of your hand-, you are hardly disabled at all. On the other hand a one-armed man is awkward at anything. Htrlooks Tme-sfdcd, is one sided In fact; ap pears always at a disadvantage in any occupation. Why,” said he, as one stating an irrefutable propo rtion; “A one armed nu n can’t even hug his girl with any satisfac tion-” Finding no one present in clined to argue with him, and to further illustrate how a one-legged man may overcome and rise superi or to his physical disability, he jumped straight up and knocked b^sjjcels together three times be fore touching the floor again. Af ter hearing his argument, which 1 frnVe hot attempted to report in full, and witnessing his last rather surprising performance, which a great many with sound legs are un it bW to accoinplfsh, I am almost tempted to ask' if the Legislature has not made a mistake in the un equal appropriation, and is not a man who lias lost an arm at as great disadvantage in the struggle of every day life as one who has lost a leg? Meriwether Vindicator: Maj. J F. Jones, of HogansVillc, passed through Greenville last Tuesday with 1,100 speckled.cat fish which };e had obtained from the ponds of Dj'/W. J. Barnes and Henry R. Harris, of the second district These fish >vere from the weight of a, pound down to the size of a tiny minnow, and were in cans furnish ed Major Jones by Professor Spen eer F.

The fish are to he distributed all over the South, 4speciAHy in the waters of North Carolina, South Carolina and Geor gia.

It is to he regretted that so riiauy good citizens shirk these responsi bilities and duties. One can daily hear criticisms upon the way the law is administered, and complaints about the failure to punish crimi nals. The officers of the law—the Judges, the solicitors-and the law yers—come in for all the abuse, and the juries are said to be so stupid or venal. After all who are legally exempted, which are by far too ma ny, and the sick are excused, tin* lawyer when he faces the panel is struck almost speechless by the crowd he lias to enlighten with the law and the facts. He thinks of Judge Dooly’s oft quoted saying tluv; “only God Almighty can tell how a petit jury will decide.” To have the benefit of good laws there must he good men to adminis ter them, and under our system that duty is largely with the juries. Every citizen should fell it a privi lege to occasionally share in this important part of the free govern ment. The qualifications of petit jurors are the same as under the laws of Georgia as those of grand jurors, and their duties are of ne less im portance. They should he selected by lot from the most intelligent upright and experienced citizens of the several counties. They are sworn to “well and truly try the causes submitted to them, and a true verdict to give acccording to the evidence.” The grand jury has its peculiar province—that of put ting the machinery of the law in operation so as to conserve the in terest of the community, and cause the arrest and trial of violators of the law. Their work, however, will be in vain unless the trials should be had before intelligent and up right petit jurors. The many im portant questions to be passed on and nice discriminations to he made [concerning the credibility and effect of confleting evidence, require the exercise of great sense of justice and,’judgment. Few or dinary men are equal to this task, and the great defect in our jury sys tem is that often the very best qualified men are either exempted by the law or get ex cused by the presiding judge. No wonder then that men should hold trial by jury In fear when impor tant interests are involved.

The labors of judges would he lightened and rendered more sat isfactory, and the courts will soon attain the position they properly should occupy as the protector of the innocent, the terror of the guil ty, the defender of the right and the avenger of the wrong. ♦Peyton ( liattalioochee *( ’oueorcl Mableton Austell Salt Springs Douglasville Winston Villa Riea Temple Bremen Tallapoosa Muscadine Edwanlsville Heflin Davisville ( hoccolocco DeArmanville Oxford •Oxana Anniston •Berclair Eastaboga Lincoln Seddon Eden •Cook's Springs •Bromptou •Leeds •Irondale, Birmingham Read dowu«®J ' fc^-Read up • Flag stations. 7 21 a m 7 23 a m 7 35 a m 7 42 a m 7 51 am 7 58 a m 8 13 a in 8 27 a m 8 43 a m ft 02 a m ft 25 a m ft 50 a m 10 08 a m 10 27 a m 10 40 a m 11 00 a in 11 08 a m 11 18 a m 11 31a in 11 35 a m 11 39 a m 12 05 p m 1215 p in 12 33 p in 12 53 ]> m 1 OOiiin 1 28 p in 1 48 p in 1 58 p ill 2 33 p m 2 50 p m 8 11 p m 8 09 p m 8 00 p m 7 53 p ill 7 45 p m 7 38 p m 7 23 ]) m 7 10 p m (i 55 j) in 0 31 p in 0 09 p m 5 44 p m 5 27 p m 5 08 p in 4 50 p ill 4 35 ]i m 4 28 p m 4 18 p in 4 05 p m 4 00 )i m 3 50 p m 3 29 p in 3 1!) p m 3 01 p m 2 40 p m 2 25 p m 2 07 p m 1 48 ]> m “ 1 33 j) ill “ 1 01 p ill “ 12 45 p CONVECTIONS.
