liquor:
Gentlemen, I call your earnest
attention to the question of liquor,
and the part it is playing and has
played in your community. The
people have taken this matter into
their own hands, and by a solemn
vot<, have decided that it shall not
be made or sold in this county.
From the very moment they did
this up to this good hour, your
community and county has been
traveling at a rapid pace toward a
higher, holier and better citizen¬
ship, and consequently, to a lofti¬
er civilization. When we compare
conditions as they existed before
this law became operative and
since, the contrast is startling. It
is the only argument necessary to
be used as a complete justification
of this prohibitive legislation.
I here is but one sure and effective
method of preventing the dial of
progress from being set back on
the liquor question, and that is
for the law to he rigidly enforced,
Let it be thoroughly understood
that it will cost a man more to
make or sell liquor in this county
than he can possibly ever hope to
realize from the sale of it; then,
from a business standpoint, if from
no higher motive, he will cease his
illegal traffic therein. Gentlemen,
a stream never rises higher than
its fountain head. Yon as grand
jurors, together with the traverse
jurors who try the issues formed
on your indictments, are the foun¬
tain heads from which roust stream
the practical effects of all the law
that reaches the masses of the peo¬
ple. The people will rise as high,
but no higher, in observing a law,
as you rise in enforcing it. Gen¬
tlemen, it is a sad and pitiable
spectacle to see a tnan made in the
image of his Creator, going about
filled with cheap, mean blind ti¬
ger whiskey, and his pockets filled
with cheap, dangerous weapons,
two laws violated at tbe same time.
He is then a dangerous brute that
it is unsafe for any person to en¬
counter.
jails:
I charge you further, gentlemen
of the jury, section 840 of the Pe¬
nal Code, which is in the follow¬
ing language: ‘‘Grand juries shall
carefully inspect the sanitary con¬
dition of the jails of their respec¬
tive counties, at each regular term
of the Superior Court, and shall
make such recommendations to
th« ordinaries in tbeir general pre¬
sentments as may be necessary to
provide for tbe proper heating and
ventilation of such jaiis, which
recommendations the ordinaries
shall strictly enforce. Said juries
shall also make such presentments
ua to general sanitary condition of
jails and the treatment of the
inmates, as the facts may justify.”

transmit to tbe
clerk of the superior court of each
county, on or before January first
of each year, a complete list of all
Hie soldiers and widows of soldiers
residing in his county, as their
names appear upon the pension
rolls of the State, and the clerk
shall deliver the list to the first
grand jury that shall meet altet it
has been received by him. The
grand jury shall inspect and ex
amine it, and report the same in
their general presentments, stat
mg whether in tbeir opinion all
the persons whose names appear
upon it are entitled to receive pen
sions, and giving the names of
such persons whose claims to pen¬
sions are, in the opinion of the
grand jury, of a doubtful chorac
ter. In making the examination
the grand jury shall have pow r er to
subpoena witnesses, and examine
them touching the validity of said
claims for pensions, and the clerk
of the court shall promptly trans¬
mit to the Governor an exact
copy of that portion of the pre¬
sentments of the grand jury which
refers to pensions, and the Gov
ernor shall cause additional proofs
or evidence to be given in all
claims which are reported a s
doubtful or illegal by the grand
jury, and unless the claim is sup
ported by satisfactory proof, the
shall be disallowed, and the
name stricken from the pension
roll.”
PUBLIC BUILDINGS, ETC.
It is also your duty to examine
all public buildings belonging to
the county, and see whether the
same have been well kept, and to
make such suggestions as you may
deem appropriate looking to the
protection and preservation of all
property.
It is also your duty to look into
the condition of the poor house of
the county, and see how the same
has been kept, nnd to ascertain
whether the law with reference to
the poor house has been fully ob¬
served.
PUBLIC roads:
I charge you that it is also your
duty to look into the condition of
the public roads and bridges of
the county, aud ascertain whether
these have been kept in proper
condition. I desire to state that
this is a matter of very great im¬
portance that the public roads
should be kept in good condition.
The highest interests of the people
demand it. As a matter of fact,
it is safe to observe that the con¬
dition of the public loads of any
county is a very fair test of the
enlightenment and progress of the
people. It is wise, practical econ¬
omy to keep the public roads and
bridges in good condition, ana you
ought to look well to it to see that
those to whom this duty has been
entrusted have come fully up to
the requirements ot the law.
Gentlemen of the Grand Jury,
before I close this charge, I call
your attention in a general way to
the important fact that it is your
solemn duty to look into all viola¬
tions of the criminal law, and, in
a general way, to guard and pro
tect the public interests, You, for
the time being, represent the peo
pie, and the people have the right
to look to your body for protec
tion. Gentlemen, I confidently
rely on you, as before stated, to
do yrnur whole duty ; and I assure
you that in so doing, you will re¬
ceive the plaudits of your country¬
men, Well done, good and faith¬
ful servants.
I wish to say further that my in¬
terest in tbe enforcement of law
and good government extends all
oyer thia State. I desire to see
the Slate of Georgia pointed out
among the States of the Union as
not only the Empire State of the
j along South material in progress lines, and development
but the Elu¬
pire State of the Union in her high
class of citizenship, and her high
type of civilization, resulting from
a pure and rigid ndministration of
her laws, lint when it comes to
the Stone Mountain Circuit, I
have an especial prido in seeing
the law enforced m such a way
that it can be pointed out as the
beBt place in this great State to
live and rear a family.
Gentlemen of the Grand Jury, it
is neodless for me to say more to
you. I will close by saving that
my purpose in being here and your
purpose in being here under the
j law is to tra isict 1 uuness right,
and as rapidly as it can be safely
done. Gentlemen, you may lli>W
retire to your room, and enter upon
the discharge of your duties,
