Drunk Driving Stress- ed In Charge To Jury The September term of super- ior court began promptly at 9 a.m. Monday morning as the jurors were drawn it appeared that more were asking to be ex- cused from duty than at the March term. Judge Paschall was as lenient as posible about this, but kept repeating he must have 48 travel se juiois for Wednesday as he understood there was an assault and attempt murder case to come up. After the grand jury had been selected they retired to another j room where they elected Mr. Dan 1 . Brown as foreman. The Judge in his charge to the Jury spoke of the number of cases Dade has been having of driving whiie under the enfluence of liquor. He said that his fine for I this offense was a minimum of $75.00. He realized this a i was very stiff fine but if the drunken driving wasn’t corrected he would have to make it still more severe. He asked us how we felt about this situation, as for himself, he said, he felt that there was no excuse for this; that it was dangerous and he did not treat life lightly. He charged the grand jury with investigating the cases brought before them, investigating the Court House and Jail records; with fixng the compensation for • the jurors which at present is fixed at $4 a day. Mr. Jim Jenkins was made baliff for the grand jury and Messers H. Grady Wilson, J. H. Baty and Jim Breedlove for the court. There were few i ivil cases to be heard, some were not ready and some had been stricken off. Mrs. Inez D. Neal was granted a divorce and custody ol the child in her suit, against Buri E. Neal. There were seven cases of driving a car whito drunk brought before the Court—Each ■ was fined $75.00 with a warning that tne second offense would |' be $150. and 6 months. Those i ' who paid this fine were Robert j Garrett, Ray H. Buckles, Wnford D- Lewis, J. D. Wizell, Edward Nyitray, Tommy Gross and Bur- rell E. Neal. Walter W.

This new building is constructed on the sight of the old building which burned several years ago. The base is of the same beautiful stone of the original building and the rest has been construct¬ ed of concrete blocks. Enough cf the school has now been com¬ pleted so that' all of the 500 children have been moved out of the baracks and are attending classes in the new building. An inspection tour was made by those present before the Dedi¬ cation Service. The service was neld out in the open in a still uncompleted part of the school. On a platform on the east side shaded by the wall of the build¬ ing. About 75 people who are interested in the rebuilding of the Davis School listened and poined in an inspiring Dedi¬ cation Program. The program was opened by a song, “Georgia Land” Mr. Law- son, the new principal gave a brief history of the beginning of the consolidated school and why it was named for Dutton Davis— Rev. W. M. Bayne gave a most uplifting and bouyant' devotional. This was followed by the song; Praise Him! Praise Him! and the dedicatory speech by Mr. T. J. Lance, District Supervisor of Georgia Schools. Mr. Lance told us that 10 years ago that there had been an appropriation of one million dollars ih tne State Bud¬ get for schools, last year the budget was 37 million and this year under the minimum Found¬ ation Program the schools were asking for 83 million. Under the present State set up there were no funds to assist the counties in a building or ex¬ pansion program and part of this this 83 million would be set aside for this purpose, “this is a lot of money,” he told us, “we think of Georgia as a poor state but do you know that the people In Georgia spent 127 million dol¬ lars on liquor, cigarettes, cos¬ metics and other luxuries last year?” Mr. Lance also told us that Davis had 500 pupils this year 100 of whom were High School pupils. This gives Davis enough enrollment to be eligible to be an accredited High School and he urged those interested in the school to try and get on the accredited list as soon as possible. The program closed with the singing of Onward Christian Soldiers, the Davis High School Alma Mater and a prayer by Rev. Bayne.
