The spring session of the Glynn superior court was convened at 10 o’clock yesterday morning with Judge T. A. Parker presiding, Solicitor Ben net, Sheriff Berrie, Clerk du Bignon, and Deputy Sheriff Pyles and other attaches of the court in their places. An innovation was introduced ill the court when the Judge announ ced that the deliberations would be opened with prayer and instantly the court was advanced to the dignity of the church, and Rev. Walter M. Gil more, Pastor of the Baptist church, of this city, ascended the platform and offered a very impressive prayer. The feature of the day, as is usual ly the case, was the charge to -the grand jury and Judge Parkes took es pecial care to charge the members of the body as to the usual custom of informing others of the doings of the body while in session and while in vestigating matters of general inter est. He was particularly drastic with referan.ee to the carrying of conceal ed weapons and. urged the members of the jury to indict without fear, favor, or reward violators of this law wheth friend or for, “for” said the court,, “until the general public is made to understand that the majesty of the law is to be upheld and vindicated and that the violators of tho same are to be surely aurL we will ... Judge Parker outlined very plainly the serious and important duties that the attach of a grand juror. “You are machinery,” said the judge, and continuing on this line he said: “by which the the great work of the crim inal court is put into active opera tion; it is for you Lo determine wheth er or not the offenders shall be brought to ju lice or shall escape it.” The usual offenses, so common in all communities, were referred to in equal terms.
