NO FEMALE JURORS
IN LONG TIME YET
Seems to Be Wide Difference of
Opinion Among Lawyers and
Court Officials Generally, But
Is Certain None to Sqrve This
Tfof t 1 \■'’
The question of whether women
will serve on juries has become an
interesting one In every section of
the state and especially In Brunswick
and Glynn ooiunty. For the time be
Ing, It is thought, there will be no fe
males’ names placed In the boxes.
Voting In the recent election has
given the fair sex just a taste of real
citizenship and many desire to avail
themselves of every right given them
under the recent suffrage laws.
Jurors are taken from the tax di
gest and no person Is qualified to
serve a# a juror unless name is en
rolled there and this precludes women
registering to any great extent be
cause there is not one out of fifty
whose name so appears and. under
the law, the person whose name is
placed in the Jury box, must be a tax
payer.
It is stated in the new law that
women are exempt from Jury. road,
police and tax duty. Now If she Is
exempted from Jury duty how can she
serve as a juror? It maybe that the
law makes ft optional with female
voters but this cannot very well be
the rase as there are go many reasons
why It should not be.
It is the opinion Q t some officials
that the names of female voters will
not be placed in the boxes for at least
a year or two. ft seems that the Jury
commissioners are absolute in the
matter as to names selected for Jury
duty and it Is up to the coftmlsslon
to act on the subject.
The jury commissioners of Glynn
county are: E. L. Stephens. Tf. F.
Symons. T. J Wright, J. B. Abrams.
R. H. Parker, B. A. Burford.
