BO 11.3 INDICATE DISEASED
BEOOD
IF NOT CURED THEY LEAD TO CARBUN
CLES AND RUNNING SORES.
Boils, or their more aggravated form
of carbuncle, surely indicates a dis
eased condition of the blood, which
should have prompt attention on the
appearance ol the first symptoms, or
they may lead to more serious diseases.
Eat the best you can get, and freely
use Botanic Blood Balm (B. B. B.).
Mrs. W. A. Steed, of Augusta, Geor
gia, had boils for several years past, as
well as a carbuncle over the right eye.
This spring she felt the symptoms of
boils coming on again. While sewing
she would prick the skin with her nee
dle. The little sores would fester.
She took two bottles of Botonic Blood
Balm (B. B. B), and was entirely
cured, and she passed the spring with
out the annoying boils and possible re
turn of a carbuncle. Her blood was
relieved of poison matter by B. B. 8.,
which is a powerful blood remedy.
J. D. Watkins, Blakelv, Da., writes:
“Old sores covered my entire person
and itched intensely night and day.
For severla months I could not work
at all. I commenced the use of Botan
ic Blood Balm (B. B. B.) and begin to
grow better the first week, and am now
souud and well, free from sores and
itching, and at work again.”
Botanic Blood Balm (B. 8.8. ) is a
scientific vegetable compound used by
Dr. Gilman in his private practice for
blood diseases such as Old Sores, Scro
fula, Boils Blood Poison, etc. (toured
so many people that it was put on the
market 17 years ago and is for sale by
all druggists at SI.OO per large bottle.
It has always enjoyed a large sale be
cause it

even after everything e)se has been

The Judge’s charge to the Grand
Jury:
Mr. Foreman and Gentlemen :
Your body having been organized by
the seleetion of your foreman and duly
qualified by taking the oath prescribed
by law, it now becomes the duty of the
Court to direct you as to the scope of
your duties and the method of your
deliberations, and then to give you in
special charge certain statutes which
our Code requires every Judge in this
state # to lay before each and every
Grand Jury.
However familiar these laws may be
to you, the law commands me to direct
your special attention to each of them
specially, and you have been sworn to
make dilligent inquiry and true pre
sentments as to these matters which I
thus give you in charge,
In obedience to that law which re
quires that in every county in this
state at least two regular terms of the
superior court shall be held at fixed
times, we have assembled and are about
to organize a court,of which, under our
laws, you form a most important part.
In some states there are no Grand Ju
ries, but in Georgia you are charged
with certain duties, entrusted under
our law to no other power.
Through your jury commissioners
the state has selected you for a special
purpose, and set you apart from the
body of the people as being amongst
the most upright, intelligent and ex
perienced of her citizens. And incom
pliance with law you have been sum
moned from your homes and the pur
suit of your own affairs, and conse
crated by your oaths to the public ser
vice.
I confidently trust each of you fully
appreciate the important duties aud
high responsibilities which rest upon
you, and the Court relies upon you to
discharge those duties not only dili
gently, but with such speed and dis
patch as will prevent you from wasting
any time uselessly,so that by this econ
omy of time you may contribute your
share to the relief of your tax-payers.
The Grand Jury selects from time to
time ail members of the Board of Edu
cation, aud thus the Grand Jurors con
trol through their agents the county
school systems. Your body selects
from time to time all those Notaries
Public who are ex-officio Justices of the
Peace, and thus you are largely respon
sible for the character of these inferior
judicatories. And while the jurisdic
tion of these courts is limited, they
bring justice, or injustice, to almost
every man’s door, and ofttimes fulfill
very important functions.
You are charged with the general su
pervision of all the property of the
county, as well as of the financial con
dition.
To you, all officers of the county en
trusted with any of the funds raised by
taxation, are required to report. And
it is through your careful examination
and public report, touching these ser
vants of the people, that these tax
payers generally (each one of whom is
entiled to know that every dollar
drawn from him by taxation has been
lawfully spent) are to obtain their in
formation.
You can aid the Court in enforcing
the road laws, and perform a lasting
service to your people by seeing that
the road commissioners execute their
duties under the present law. Or you
may adopt the new road law known as
the alternative road law to which I
will again call your attention.
In addition to all these matters of a
civil nature, as no person can be tried
for crime in this court except upon in
dictment or presentment preferred by
the Grand Jury, the duty devolves up
on you whenever the criminal law has
been violated, to bring the charge,
without which there can be neither
trial, conviction or punishment.
The good, law-abiding citizens look
to you for defense against the evil, the
reckless and the lawless, and their pro
tection depends upon your finding out
evil doers and bringing them before
the bar of justied.
Tour diligent action will bring upon
you the blessings of all good men and
women, as well as light in your own
hearts, that pure and fervent glow
which oomes from the consciousness of
duty well done.
A court is defined to a place where
justice is judiciously administered.
Justice then, is, or ought to be, the
prime object in view, the ultimate end
to be attained in every proceeding in
court, and by every one charged with
the performance of any duty, hswever
insignificant it may seem, or however
great, responsible or important it may
be.
Incident to our courts is a Judge,
Sheriff, Clerk, Attorneys, Grand and
Traverse Jurors, as well as certain as
sistants.
The duties of each of these are all
clearly defined and definitely pointed
out, and it is of the utmost importance
that each one discharge his specific du
ties witli fidelity, accuracy and dis
patch.
Your body, Mr. Foreman, must stall
times consist of not less than IS nor
more than 23 members, and it is neces
sary that at least 12 members of your
body shall vote in favor of finding a
true bill or a presentment before the
< accused can be by you charged with
I crime or misdemeanor.
And the names of all those acting on
the bill, regardless of how they may
have voted, shall appear written or
printed in the body of the indictment.
Indictments and presentments differ
only as to their origin.
If the charge originates in the body
of the Grand Jury, that is if some
member of your body knows of a vio
lation of the law and makes it known
to his fellow Grand Jurors, and if after
considering the evidence they deem the
matter sufficiently well founded and
sustained by proof to try the accused,
yon report the facts to the Solicitor
General and ask him to formulate the
charge according to law. .This being
done, the paper containing the charge
is called a presentment of the Grand
Jury.
If some one who is not a member of
the Grand Jury knows of a violation of
the law and wishes to prosecute It, he
goes to the Solicitor General and gives
him she facts and a list of his witness
es, and the Solicitor General formulates
the charge, attaches the name of the
prosecutor and presents the paper to
the Grand Jury. This is called a bill
of indictment. On each, the present
ment and bill of indictment, your Fore
man must endorse the wovds “True
Presentment,” or “True Bill,” and sign
this finding before returning either in
to court.
Your proceedings being exparte you
only hear one side, that is the state’s
witnesses in either event, but should
the proof be insufficient, in your judg
ment, to sustain the charge, then your
Foreman will endorse on the indict
ment the words “No Bill.” and return
it to conrt.
Your oath sets forth in a succinct
form the spirit in which you should
act no less than the scope of your du
ties as regards the prosecution of
crime. Y’ou will diligently enquire
and true presentment make of all such
matters and things as may be given
you in charge or come to your knowl
edge touching the present service. You
will diligently enquire, not glance at
your public property,make a superficial
examination of the books and records
of your county officers and consider
hastily the violation of offenses.
By this kind of perfunctory service
the tax-payers of more than one coun
ty have already suffered great loss.
The solemn oath you have taken
places on you the obligation of diligent
service to your fellow citizens. The
State’s Counsel, your fellows and your
own deliberations you wili keep se
cret unless called upon to give evideoee
thereof in some court of law in this
state. This includesall thatmay trans
pire within your jury room relating to
the sayings or acts of any member of
your body in reference to the matters
with which you are charged by law. It
is the policy of the law and essential to
the success of your diligent inquiry in
to your public matters and in the fer
riting out of crime that your delibera
tions should be secret. I cannot con
ceive how any juror selected for his in •
telligence and uprightness and distin
guished for experience can so far for
get the trust with which he is charged
and the solemn oath he has publicly
taken as to divulge the secrets of state
with which he is entrusted and upon
whose inviolability depends our very
safety from dastardly crimes. It has
sometimes been a matter of current re
mark that the action of the Grand Ju
ry on bills is known before it is turned
into court. I do not know how much
truth rhere was in such rumors, but
this Court would consider it a duty not
to be shunned to enforce the maximum
penalties for contempt should such a
case be sustained by proof before me.
And a Grand Juror who would thus vi
olate his solemn oath by divulging
those secrets you have sworn to keep,
should not be in the jury box at all.
The next part of your oath puts you
on your integrity as a just, upright
man. “You should present no .one
from envy, hatred nor malice, nor
leave any one unpresented from fear,
favor, affection, reward or the hope
thereof.” One scarcely need be re
minded that a position where one has
power over the life, liberty, property
or reputation of another should not be
invaded by the detestable vices of en
vy, hatred and malice; for when they
enter, wisdom, justice and moderation
leave. Their joint occupancy of any
portion of a court of justice is impos
sible. So if you had any such feelings
you lay them down when yon take up
the grand juror’s oath and the grand
juror’s sacred duties. You are none
the less warned against the influence
of fear, favor and affection. Fear not
to bring into court the richest and
most influential citizen as quickly as
you would the humblest negro in your
county. If he be guilty of crime, in a
court where blind justice holds the
scales evenly balanced no wealth nor
frieod nor influence can save him from
just punishment.
I fear it is too frequently the case
that Grand Jurors strain at the gnat of
infraction of law by some of the poor
and humble and shut their eyes to
crimes on the part of those whose prom
inence would make the infliction of
just penalties a telling example to oth
ers in like case offending. In the
words of your oath, “You should pre
sent all things truly and as they come
to your knowledge, so help you God.”
Thus you call upon tl\£ great God of
Heaven and earth to witness that, for
saking all human influences and evil
motives you will discharge your duties
fearlessly, honestly, justly. Surely no
higher type of man exists than the
ideal legal Grand Juror should he.
The Judge theu charged th
jury, as required by the statutes,
ou the laws against gaming, sell
ing liquor, etc., and also as to the
duties of the jury-in examining
the records of the county officials,
the jail and other public buildings,
after which he gave this special
charge to Hon. George H. Jones,
the foreman:
Mr. Forenan: The integral unit of
government is the family; the sanctum
sanctorum in every true man’s heart is
his home, and mother and father, wife
and children there hold absolute title
to citizenship without the aid of hu
man law. In the home center are our
first interests and our holiest affec
tions. The family being the type,
that is the rest government which
most closely resembles the family.
Many, if not all of you, have happy
homes, and in whatever you do your
mind turns to your loved oues. There
is no symphony in music as sweet as
the tunes of their loved voices; no
colors that ever lit the canvass are as
bright and beautiful to you as their
sunny smiles By sustaining the law,
upholding the hands of the court, and
aiding in the execution of justice, you
remove the temptation of evil example
from your hoys, and insure the happi
ness, comfort and protection of your
girls.
Fully conscious of the weighty re
sponsibilities with which I have been
entrusted, I desire to say now that it is
my fixed resolve, sustained, I hope, by
the Great Judge of all the earth, to
perform without fear, favor or affec
tion every letter of that solemn oath l
have called Him to witness, and asked
His help to discharge.
In this court all shall receive equally
their rights and none shall enjoy any
special privileges.
In the same spirit I offer you my
service I ask your co-operation not
only as grand jurors for the present
term but as citizens, for the co-opera
tion of every good citizen is needed to
make the enforcement of law and jus
tice a success.
In making this request of you, and
the citizens of Gwinnett county gen
erally, I assure you of my warm per
sonal and friendly interest In what
ever may promote your welfare and
and prosperity and the common good;
a friendship for you, and interest in
your people which goes back to my
very boyhood—back to those sunny
days of youth on which my memory
loves to linger, where, as a bare-footed
boy, 1 attended my first school in this
town, and since which early date I
have always been glad to acknowledge
my very grateful appreciation of the
uniform kindness and hospitality of
the good people of Gwinnett county.
Give me your co-operation and aid
me to dispatch the public business of
your county with economy to the over
burdened taxpayer, and with con
venience and saving of time to all who
have to attend court.
And let us all acting together so en
force tire laws as to guarantee to every
citizen, the richest and the poorest
alike, to the humblest as well as the
highest, every right of life, liberty,
property, health and reputation to
which he is entitled under the consti
tution and laws of our state.
