THE JAILER'S OFFICE ;
Elsewhere in this paper will be
found excerpts from the report
of the last grand jury in. so far
as it relates to the office of Jailer
of Madison county. The report
is worthy of the deepest consid
eration. If its charges are true,
then there exists a state of affairs
in this highly civilized county
that is appalling, is offensive to
the decency and intelligence of
the people and humiliating to the
county. But the strangest part
of ' the report is that the grand
jury bf its own motion and after
its own investigation of the facts
upon which it based its report,
failed to return an indictment
against the jailer. If the report
was true and the grand jury
couldn't doubt the truth of its
own report-it failed to discharge
its duty when it failed to return
an indictment against the jailer,
because the oath which it took,
required it to make an indict
ment for all infractions of law of
which it had knowledge or may
receive information. The report
also was a severe arraignment
of witnesses who appeared before
it and whose memory of facts
were not such as the grand jury
thought that it should be. In
fact, the report as a whole was
of the highly sensational order
and is the talk of the county.
But gentlemen, why be so severe
in your strictures on others for
failure to discharge a sworn duty,
when you . set them the copy?
People are thinking along this
line also as well of the severi
ty and character of your report -
GOVERNMENT
The people establish their gov
ernment for its monetary value
as well as for its value to society.
Without law and order, society
disintegrates. Without law and
order, property would be worth
less. Therefore, the people are
willing to pay .a reasonable sum
for that which makes their prop
erty and their well being secure.
But when that reasonable amount
is exceeded,' then government
fails of its objects; at least in one
particular; that is in the protec
tion of property from confiscation.
If the people of .Madison are
getting all that is their due from
the money that is exacted from
them, then they have no cause of
complaint If more is - being
taken from them than enough to
defray the legitimate expenses of

Grocery : West Main St,
the county when its fiscal affairs
are prudently . administered, then
the government which they sup-
portly their hard earned cash, is
not giving to tjiem the protec
tion for which they pay. It shall
be the purpose of the Madisonian
to examine into this question at
length and give to its readers its
conclusions. '
HON. W. B. SMITH
We believe that Madison coun
ty would be delighted to honor
Hon. W. B. Smith with office of
Representative. He is both able
and active, and is advised as to
the needs of the people.
He would make a member who
would reflect honor on the coun
ty. He is in full sympathy with
the masses of the people.
Caustic Report of The Grand
Jury on The County Jail
The report reads in part as follows :
"We inspected the County Jail and
found it in bad condition. The walls
were black and dirty and besmeared with
tobacco juice and the floors were in the
same condition while cobwebs and dirt
occupied the corners and ceilings ahd the
cages are infested with vermine. There
are forty-one prisoners confined in jail, 24
white and 17 negroes; all males and the
pests that gnaw upon their human bodies,
we suppose to be direct lineal descendants
of the third plague that God sent upon
Pharoah and the Egyptians; and we as
the representatives of the good people of
Madison appeal , to you in your official
capacity to take such steps as the law di
rects to put the county institutions in a
sanitary condition and thereby relieve the
unfortunate inmates of their plague and
the county of the disgrace which such
conditions naturally bring upon a civil
ized community.
1Ve recommend further that the County
Judge be requested to visit the jail oftener
and give it such oversight as the statute
directs.
Mr. Jones says that he can explain to
the satisfaction of the people why the jail
was not in a "spick and span" condition
when visited by the grand jury.
It certainly is up to him to do so.
Rev. George Stuart's Lecture
Monday night at the Normal chapel the
inimitable George R. Stuart gave one of
his characteristic lectures. There is only
one George StuarWa the world. He is
an apostle of earnestness, an overflowing
fountain of mirth, a lover of all things
good, a sympathizer with every good man
and with every worthy movement The
lecture covered much territory but was a
delight every step of the way. We wished
that even the ground had included a few
hundred acres more. There were assaults
on the follies of the day, skits anent the
short skirts, bombs placed under the mad
ness of money-making, ridicule for the
merchant who shuttles back and forth
from home to store, a human pendulum
that never stops until the undertaker steps
in. There was myrth and wisdom all . the
way through, and much wholesome, advice
to young and old. ", Rev. George Stuart
forgets all about the occasion and proceeds
to deliver his message, but the place never
forgets him, admiring or loving him into
immortality. He ought to be on the lec
ture course every two years at least.'
When you look at him you say here is a '
fool or a philosopher; when you hear him
you know that the fool is the man who
would mistake George Stuart for one.

night as the result of injuries received by
falling from the midnight train from Win

Thursday morning and brought to Rich
mond, where he was hurried to the P. A.

medical skill could suggest to relieve him,
but added to his serious injuries, the' long
exposure in the cold made his recovery
impossible. No young man Jn the com
munity had more friends than Mr. Million.
Of a genial whole-souled disposition, he
endeared himself to men, women and
children, and many hearts are filled with
sorrow at his untimely end. To the de
voted mother and sisters the deepest sym
pathy is felt May the Almighty sustain
and comfort them. The funeral services
were held at the home of Mrs. Walton on
Glyndon avenue at 10:30 Sudday morning,
thence burial in the Richmond Cemetery.
