Cur piesent Grand Jury as corn pa red with 50 years ago with Criticism* lly Dn. J. J. W. Gi.enx. Mr. Editor: Some big State action have had their < rigin in the little ci unty of Rockdale—Why » <>t. this article start a rufoim? Nothing like get¬ ting people to think. Fifty years ago it was an honor t<> bo a Grand Juror. Our wisest end best men were chosen to servo, jvgardless of p<dit ic« orciiiken *ry. So high was tile standard that < i.e could guess wl o the foreman would be. 'I li. ir committees were j.i*le and c mpu-tent. Their eomm'-ndations \v re looked fo with • , anxiet. . , mu , v on as the , law , of the land. But tow offi :ers wore reckless enouerh to ignore ° those re comment, , attons. . The gran ! juries, cf 13-10 am*. t:,» to 18C0 were a power for good in the land. * ’ Notv the mighty has fallen. Cur present grand juries aro of no more j use than an extra negro on Deca tur street in Atlanta. Noonopaysj any attention to their reeommet - dations. \ veritable fungus growth con tru lo.l Ity trickery and politic. —.pending their time m hunting up a few illicit whiskey makers and sellers and prosecuting i " some I poor negro or poor white man pre se’.ited by malice, under cloak of conforming \ to law by the people Not . men who aro afraid e ■ i to , s ware n^t a warrant before a magistrate their tiuebills and recommmdu lions carry the honest malice m every line. Much of this is not intended by t'he average juror, He is notcum pelent, and if ho competent, , was 1 he has not ( ho tim i to examine the different oilicers’ books and make a fair and candid recommend:! tion for (he best interest of the country, and hoars but one side of a case . Why?

I do not write this critic*'- n to liit any man nor set of »r*:i. x generally tell men to th i. face what I think, What am 1 writing this article for? I want to get the legislature to abolish the grand jury from out system. It is more than a i uis anee. lt is a big expense to the c tin tv.

It is the case of Arizona Sam versus Pete the Half Breed, and Bam is the complainant. I see he’s got a lawyer yere to gab fur him, but tliat lawyer won’t liev no talkin to do. “Let us begin at the beginnin. Ari zona Sa£Q Strikes this town a year ago. He has a yell like a fog horn and he weighs 20O pounds. He wears two guns and a knife, and he bites tlie t off a bottloa (0 8ll0W that bo was bom in a cyclone and died in a hurricane.

Yesterday mornin he ^arts over the bills fur Tin Cup City. Op the way he meets Pete the H alf Breed. Most of ye know Pet0 am! most of - ve Ilpv heard that his cay use and Bam was hoofln it. ^ “‘Git ofrn that boss!’ “ ‘What fur?’ asks Pete. “ ‘Bekase 1 want him.’ “‘But he’s mine.’ “Then Sum calls him a string of names 40 rods long. He abuses Pete’s father and mother and all the rest of ■1 T/fc*- % (j fit fill ■ i\ a \ 'CX:. “GTT OFF X* TEAT HOSSi” his relations. He ehanks his teeth and rc’ls bis eyes and pulls his guns. He wards that cayuse, and he wants him inside of two minutes. Ye may figger that Pete, who hadn't any gun with him. turned pale and fell out of the saddle with a thump, but ye’ll be mis taken if ye do. It took him some Ifietie time to realize the situasbun, but he didn't sheer. When he got tilings s+raight he slid off bis critter and lit en to Sam. Did the bold, bad man who iias carried the count r cf Cold Chuck his pocket fur a year drill holes through the half breed as he come? X ot a u: ill. ft as timr an awful strug gle lastSn half an hour before victory perched ca either banner? Not a struggle. That half breed, who was thought to be a worm of the dust, takes the bold, bad bup bv the nose and toads him around fur awhile. Then he s’rips him of his weepips, puils his c~-% eixool Books pads, pencils, a nd inks. s 1 SS OF ALL KINDS AT RIGHT PRICES.

Not much. He comes right hack to town and to me, and the fust thing he says is: “ Hedge, 1 want jestice.’ it t What sort of jestice?’ “ ‘.Jestice fur bein held up and robbed by Pete the Half Breed.’ “ ‘But why didn’t ye shnte?’ “ ‘He skulked up on me. Gimme jes tice, jedge—gimme lots of it.’ “That was Arizona Sam, bold, bad man, and ! believed his yarn and sent out a warrant and bad Pete arrested. I was cnlkerlatifi to gin him a mighty dose of jestice, but liearin bis side of the story has changed my mind. ‘Sam, the bluffer, stand up. Are ye denyin that what Pete says is true?' “ ‘He lit on me mighty sudden, Jed . , , tl ?®’ ‘But " you as clidn f e Tf t /* try to pr.r! a gun?’ tt < Mebbe not.’ a t And you didn’t fight?’ “ ‘I don’t think so.’ a . That’s’null. Ye ar’ simply a great big blowhard and a bluffer, and ye’ve made every good man in this town back bater.

As fur Pete, he is sot at liberty, and he kin keep yer w-epins and e the fust man to apply the boot.
