It is with regret and a tinge ol sympathy we note the Carroll County Times’ denunciation and criticisms of the last Grandjurys i General Presentments. lint when one comes to think serious- 1 ly of the matter, nothing else , hardly could be expected from a I fountain of spleen. There is nothing surprising about it as it seems to be natural for the Times to raise a general kick against anything that is done or happens to be unless he is its author or the dominating spirit in its crea tion. Just simply the usual long eared kick. i The editor of the Times takes the grand jury to task for recorm mending that the City and Su perior Court and Grand Jurors aud their bailiffs be paid $2 .00 per day. It is matter of record that this has long been the custom in this county, and we suppose that there is no one who considers it exhorbitant pay. The Times admits that much. Knowing that fact, we are at a j loss to understand why he refer red to that portion ot the pre sentments at all; only one expla. nation seems to be clear, and that is that he merely wanted to lay a foundation from which to register a kick and censure the grand jury for not giving him more money’. If the grand jury had given the job exclusively to the limes with a fee of twenty or twenty-five dollars, doubtless all would have been smiles. He who sets himself up as a paragon of wisdom and assumes the role of general dictator to the people, should guard their inter ests by example as well as by precept—practising intelligent economy in all things, and espe cially when handling tne coun ty’s funds. Personally the grand jury cares very little or nothing for the Times’ kick and should have let it passed unnoticed, except to call attention to its underlying selfish motive. The grand jury considers, as most people do, that grand jury presentments, like other court proceedings, are looked upon as news items, interesting to the cit izens of the county, and which the various papers would like to print free for the benefit of their subscrioers, rather than not have them ; thus, the fee paid is com plimentary. Newspapers often pay good money for news not so wholesome and less interesting to many of their readers. With an eye to spending no more o the county’s lundthan necessary we committed the awful crime, as the Times views it. of recomi mending that the Times, along with the other three papers, be paid five dollars for printing the general presentments. As it is, the cost will be S20.00 and we thought that sufficient. We hope the sensible people ; will caretully consider the ■‘Kick’’ and not forget to place the censure where it belongs. It can be easily seen what the Times would do if it could, and how insincere its pretentions have been when boosting the “lowly and hard pressed farmer.” With it, it depends entirely whose ox is goad. Why gentlemen ! we are reli ably informed that the editor of the Times tried to keep some of the other county papers from printing the presentments at all- just think for one moment what a noble deed that was for so saintly an apostle of justice. Had I it not not been tor the loyalty i and good sense of the Times’ j contemporaries proha aly the presentments would have been surpressed. The public take warning.
