( . i ONE DOLLAR A YEAR SUPERIOR COURT IN SESSION. ; Judge Wright Delivers Strong Charge to Grand Jury. i Chattooga Superior Court convened | Monday morning, with Judge Moses Wright presiding. Solicitor Moses j Bale, and his assistant, C. N. Porter, Stenographer Crawford and the other court officers were on hand to look after their respective duties. The grand jury was organized by the election of Geo. D. Espy, Fore man; G. A. Kling, Clerk, and C. P. ■ Morton, Bailiff. Judge Wright’s charge to the grand jury was one of the strong . est ever delivered here, and the j closest attention was given by the | large crowd present. He dwelt especially on the im i portance of good roads, and urged the grand jury to give careful at j tention to this important question. He said that Chattooga bad been unfortunate in that she had never had any road laws, but ir respective of what system we had there was no reason»why our | roads should not bo better. He said I that Chattooga had the finest road material of any county in Georgia and that no,county could build roads at a lower cost. He declared that there was no more important ques tion now before the people than tha't of good roads and urged the grand jury to study the road laws and j evolve some plan that would give . us better highways. The judge called attention to the decrease in the tax returns and urg ied the grand jury to thotoughly in vestigate this matter and see it property was being returned at a j fair valuation. He said that many | people were giving in their proper ty at redlculously low figures and that It was the duty of the grand ju ry to raise all property that had been given in below Its true valua tion. Judge Wright laid special stress on the prohibition law and impressed the importance of enforc ing it strictly. The grand jury is composed of the following citizens: W. D. Hawkins, F. E. Hall, T. A.
