THE WEEKLY TELEGRAPH AND MESSENGER, FRIDAY, MAY 2, 1884.
SOME PLAIN TALK.
Judge Simmons's Remarks on Gambling.
Adulteration of Food, Etc.
In his charge to the grand jury on Mon
day Judge Simmons called the special at
tention of that body to gaming, vagrancy,
carrying concealed weapons and to the
new la* relative to the selling of adul
terated food and drink In speaking of
these tvila the Judge did not mince mat
ters, but spoke plainly and earnestly.
lie also devoted a good deal of his charge
to whisky selling and to minors drinking
or playing pool or billiards where
whisky is sold. The law was
specially plain as to minors, and it was to
grand juries the people looked tohavcthat
Jawenforced. The grand juries looked after
cur sons while we are asleep, for it is sup-
K sed that the fattier is the last one to
ow that bis son visits bar-rooms, gam
bling places, etc.
As & whisky selling, he did not know duties which you arc reouired to looa into.

it and the jury would
; these men lor that
HH . ng, lie
but that the entire abolition of burrooins
in the country ami a high license in the
city would be the better plan. This would
bring about a better class of bar-rooms;
yet he would thank the jury to suggest
some way to solve the question.
As -o gaming, he said lie waa informed
that there was an unusually large amount
of it done in Macon. A previous grand
jury had designated n number of buildings
in which gambling was carried on, and the*
law is plain as to the prosecution of own
ers aun renters of property used for such
purposed It was. therefore, the sworn
duty of t* grand jurv to indict all those
, owners and renters ot such property thus
used, and especially those designated if
gambling was continued in them.
In calling the jury's atten
tion to the vagrant law. t lie-
judge said that there were numbers of
men, both white anil colored, who were
loafing about with no visible means of
support, and these were vagrants. If the
jurors would do their sworn duty, these
men should be brought up before him,
when he would see that they had work.
The law declares ever; ' '
gambler to be a vagrant
be authorised to indict these
offense. It was in the province of the jury
to iindont these things and act upon them.
The judge then called the attention of
the jury to the law passed by the last beg-
Sslatute in reference to the adulteration of
articles of food or drink, and making it un
lawful for such to be sold unless the can or
vessel boro the analysis of contents. In
cities where the mayor and council pro
vided no inspector for this purpose, it was
the duty of the grand jnry to sec tiiat the
law was fully complied with.
The judge asked the full co-operation ot
the jury in suppressing ail these evils.
A SAD ACCIDENT.
Young Mnnley, of Jackson, Is Run Over
nnd Kilted.
Yesterday afternoon the way freight
train from Atlanta over the East Tennes
see, Virginia and Georgia railroad, Con
ductor McKay, brought down in its cab
young Claude Msnley, of Jackson, whose
legs had been horribly mangled beneath
Use wheels of a car at Dame's ferry, eigh
teen miles from Macon, at about 3 o'clock.
From what we can learn, young Manley,
who waa about twenty years of age, had
applied for a position on the road, and
was ruining up and down on the road
without being employed, In order to learn
the duties. A regular job was to have
been given him to-day. At Dame’s ferry
he was standing on a Hat car next to the
engine, and in some way fell from the car
and was rttn over. The wheels passed over
both thighs, causing componnd fractures
and fearfully mangling the flesh.
He was placed in the csb by Conductor
McKay ana liis force as tenderly aa possi
ble, and nought to Macon, the cab being
left on the track at the depot
Hu father, who Is a minister at Jackson,
was at once telegraphed for and came
down on the regular passenger train to Hnd
bis boy dead.
On reaching Macon, Drs. Mettauer and
Wright were summoned, buton examining
his wounds thsy preferred to wait for the
reaction before attempting amputation;
but death relieved him ot his sufferings.
Young Manley was exceedingly anxious
for a position on the road, and we learn
that tala lather at llrst opposed his going
on, but teeing that the young man was de
termined, allowed him to follow hla Incli
nation.
The remains will be taken to Jackson
this morning. The sympathy of the pco.
pie of Macon goea out this morning to the
grief-stricken father.

The Men Who Olreet the Oraertoge
Of die Louisiana fitate lottery Company
at New Orleans, on the second Tuesday of
each month, are Gent's. Beauregard and
Early, who hare entire charge of alt tilings
connected with them, and who attest over
Uieir own signatures to tlieir absolute fair-
v nesa. Tht»e gentlemen are of unimpeach
able character and honor. For any par
ticulars address M. A. Dauphin, New Or-
important. It is one of the most re
sponsible positions tiiat a citizen can occu
py, because before your body comes all
investigations of violations of the criminal
law of the land. No man can he tried for
any violation of the criminal law unless it
is llrst brought before your body. It is.
therefore, important tiiat the grand jury
should be composed of upright
and intelligent citizens. Tiie iaw
requires tiiat the grand jury should lie com-
jwsed of men ot experience, uprightness
and intelligence, because their duties n-c
responsible. You have to pass upon the
tights of your fellow citizens. You have to
guard the good order and peace ol society.
It is for you to say whether a man should
be put ujion Ids trial or not. Your duties
arc ex parte entirely. You can hear but
one side of the cas'e, because the laws of
Georgia do not permit her citizens to be
tried in a secret court. If you were al
lowed to go in there and trv the guilt or
innocence of the citizens of Georgia, it
would be a secret tribunal. No one could
go in there. You cannot tell what is done
lit there. Tlieretore, you are confined to
an ex pnrle showing’ made by the State.
Your duties as grand jurors require that
whenever the State makes oui a prima facie
case—that is, a case which, in your opin
ion, would convict the party—when a
showing is made before you. unless it is
explained or rebutted, you ought to find a
hill. Whenever the evidence does noti
make out a prism facie case, such as, sit
ting there as a trav’erso jury, you would
not convict, then you ought to ignore the
bill and not run the county to the expense
of trying it. Right ’ here 1 will
say to yon that, whenever a
man comes before you as a prosecutor, and
i ou Hnd tiiat there is no caso. and. from
your investigation, find that it is malicious
and unfounded, it is your duty to return it
so to the court, anu that will throw the
casts upon the nrosccctor. People cannot
i the courts for maii
You see your oatli requires that you
shall diligently inquire and true present
ments make of all such matters touching
violations of the criminal law as shall be
given you in charge or shall conto to your
knowledge. That means that yon should
be constant in yonr inquiries. I*
know or can obtain by investii,
a knowledge of the fact that the criminal
law lias been violated, it is your duty to
look into it and present it to the court,
that the party may be tried and punished.
It is not the 'duty of the solicitor-general
to be a detective officer. You have tho
whole power of the State of Georgia to
summons witnesses, front Camden or Dade
county, if necessary, and you can compel
thorn to testify before you whether a crime
has been committed or not. Therefore,
you should be diligent in making these in
quiries. Y’our oath says that you shall
present no one from envy or malice,
nor leave any one unpresented through
fear, favor or affection. Yon called
on God and these people here to witness
tiiat you will present all things truly as they
come to your knowledge. You see, that
makes yon Impartial judges. You are sit
ting in your room by yourselves; nobody
is to interfere with you: nobody directs
~ou; therefore yon are impartial judges,
fou are to execute the laws impartially.
You do not know anybody; you do not
know the best friend you have or the
worst enemy. If Uio evidence makes out
s cue against your friend, you have sworn
here to Indict him, and if tho evidence
does not make out a case against
your enemy, you are sworn not
to indict him. In othor words,
you are to lie just u Impartial u the jndge
on the bench. I am not presumed to know
anybody, and I do not when I am trying
caso. You do not know anybody—c
ought not. Therefore, If, in your investi
gations, you Hnd out that your friend has
violated a law, it Is your duty to present
him, just as much u if be were your ene
my. Now, this used be done In old times.
A grand jury presentment at that time
meant something and carried weight,
force and conviction, not only to the cou:'
but to the people at large. \v hy wu tha
It wu because they did their duty fait
fully and Impartially. I know .there hu
been a great deal of complaint
■ tills county about Jurors and
the actions of the courts. A great deal of
it U unfounded, and alnca I have been on
the bench I know it Is, because jurors have
acted faithfully and impartially u far u 1
know. But still, there Is complaint in the
community—you know it u well u 1 do
—about tiie enforcement of tho laws—and
tin experience is that the whole complaint
comes from those men who refuse to do
ury duty-comes more from them than
anybody else. We know that there are a
great many |ieople in tills county who ab
solutely refuse to do jury duty, ami the
court cannot compel them to do it, because
tliey are exempt. Youcan see it here. Men
come np and show their excuses, and
those are the men mostly who complain of
the verdicts of juries. Well, there are too
many exemptions, hut the court is power-

The Atlanta ConstUntion is advising

i fell the number of hale* in t>ro*
with
of tr ■
school teachers. I am not complaining of
the wen who net them. Perhaps ! would
do the same tiling; but I do complain at
the law. The law is wrong. If these men
are doing this for a public duf
they ought to be compensate _
in some other way, because
I regard the jury service as one of the
most important to come before a citizen.
The rights and liberties of the people are
tependent upon the juries, and if these
exemptions continue (the best men in the
community seeking them), why,of course,
the jury commissioners will have to put
more men in the box, and perhaps men
not as well qualified and men who really
ought not to be there. The result of it ui
that your case comes up for trial, perhaps
your life or liberty is involved, and you
are tried before men who really ought not
to be in the jury box; and those men
sometimes through mistaken sympathy
or mistake of the law acquit criminal*, and
then there U. a cry all over the
community that juries and courts do not
enforce the law. And the men who make
these complaints are the ones who refuse
to sene. Well, vou have an ini|iortant
I ease, thousands of dollars involved, intri
cate questions of commercial law. and it is
brought before inexperienced men—men
who do not know what the law i«. from
their education, and cannot conctdve it in
the course of one trial. Well, the remit
they make a mistrial, or find contrary to
the law and evidence, nnd a new trial ’has

expense. Now, I ray, the law could |be
