I Judge Gary Uses Plain Words. ( c Calls the Attention of Jurors to c Their High Duty?Cause of Miscarriages of Justico repccial to The State. t: ; c Benneitsville, Nov. 16.?In his charge to the grand jury here j. this morning Judge Gary said in Q pttrl:. h ,%ii is pleasant but unusual to see 18 grand jurors answer to roll ^ call at tbe beginning of court. ^ This duty is often shirked, and it v is the best citizens who shirks it ^ oftenest. Too many good men j aro released from the responsible duties of juror on account of ?pri- j vate interest. The court has to (j take second choice, meu who do not come up to the legal require v rneuts. The consequence is often ^ a miscarriage of justice, and tbe ( courts are held up to ridicule. The ( fault is not in the system, but in g those who administer it. That ^ community 'which does not set its ( face stornly against crime and t J criminals cannot prosper. Therei I port shows that there are 17 crim-1 ^ inula in jail here this morning. Something has gone w rong in the j cogs of the machinery in this county. The surest way to pre* vent crime is to convict thoso who j commit crime. 1 do not wish to prejudice jurors against any unfortunate criminal, but you are , heio to discharge a very high <Juty, to punish criminals without ti?3ar, favor or-prejudice.'-' The court, as soon as it was ' I organized, bogan to take Judge ( Gary's advice and to sustain tho reputation of Marlboro courts, which are a terror to evil doers. . One negro was ariaigncd and tried fot housebreaking and larceny, , was speedily convicted and sentenced to a year on the cbaingang. Then six other, realizing the helplessness of defense, pleaded guilty to various offenses and were sent to the public works. One of them, a white man, was given 30 days for being drunk at a church. There are three murder cases to be tried, two of them white men. The most notable one is that of Henry Patrick, who killed his wife here a few days ago. A RUNAWAY BICYCLE.

Mr. Zomp's remains will bo buried from the Methodist church, of which he was a devoted \c member. The charity of both of sl( those gentlemen is proverbial and in their integrity unqestioned. The death of Mr. Boykin was w due to an accident, says the w coroner's jury, but that is an at- l)l tempt to draw the veil of charity over the heart^rendering scene. *? In his bank yestorday morning he to found a paper which agitated him ? E^reat'y. " My God, I am ruined!" '1C he exclaimed, but Air. Zmnp comforted him. Shortly afterwards se Mr. Boykin went homo, and at 4 a'' o'clock came the news of his ca death. This was such a 6hffck to w' Air.
