retire to th*- r room and eRqtjLarceny
their forohian. They *o<ui re-'
turned to their seats in the court
.mom and announced that tiny
has elected Hum \Y. S, Wight to
serve as fot’etnan. As hooh ns
they were sworn Judge Cox de
livered his charge to them. . The
charge tu the gaand jury wob
said to be the most complete ar.d
strongest charge ever delivered,
to a Grady county jury. His
charge made every citizen who
heard it feel like there was a
grave responsibility resting upon
every citizen. The charge tend-
edtowards the elevation of eit-
zenship. In other words Judge-
Cox think that as Georgia is
known as the Empire state of
theSo^th tljat we should eneav-
or to have it known as the Em
pire State in the highest order of
citizenship,
Grady is one oT the younger
ceunties of Georgia and every
citizen should do his utmost to
keep down any thiqg and every
thing which would reflect upon
our standing as good law abiding
citizens. It is extremely un
fortunate that the people of a
county or a community are judg-
djand classed by the actions of
the lower element of its people.
Just a few bad people in a coun
ty make the ugly record of the
county, or community in'which
they live. If our state laws were
enforced with as much certainty
as-the federal laws are enforced it
would have a strong influence
towards making better citizens
