He was cognizant of the criticism of the grand jury system in North Car olina as mirrored in the press of the State. He stated that there have been miscarriages of justice in North Carolina, although he did not go into details as to the instances. The fault, according to the judge, lies in the system of selecting the jury. He took the stand that men chosen for jury duty should be selected for then knowledge and outstanding character, that they should be intelligent enough to understand the law and its appli cation to each case brought before .it. These men should be chosen and sworn for a term of one year and should be paid for their services. • He impressed upon the grand jury that it was the certainty - of punish ment that acted as a deterrent of crime, not the severity of punishment. Every man who violates the law, said the judge, should.be punished for his own benefit and that of society in general.

The citizens of Asheboro were Mon day night given some information relative to the town’s water supply. Mayor McCrary‘called a mass meet ing of the citizens for the purpose of laying the facts about the water shortage before them. ' The mayor described in detail the efforts made by the town authorities to get sufficient water to supply the needs of the people of Asheboro. ' He explained that when the authorities saw the water shortage imminent they began looking about for and addi tional supply to supplement that furnished by the ponds. Through the kindness of Mr. Mc Grew of the McGrew mine the town was permitted to lay a pipe line to the mine and use the water available there in two abandoned shafts. This source furnishes from 30 to 40 gal lons per minute of pure water. The old town wiell, furnishing about 12 tb 15 gallons per minute, was put into use as was the well at the Acme Hosiery Mill, which furnished a like amount. The Cranford Industries tendered the use of their well, but since it furnished only about seven gallons a minute it was not found practicable to make use of this source. The water at the old copper mine north of town was also investigated, but this source was condemned by the health authorities for the reason that it contained too much iron; and other minerals. The normal consumption of water by the citizens and manufacturing industries and business places in town is from 100 to 150 gallons per minute.

He was born and reared in Alamance county, near the Randolph county line. He received his education in the public schools, later attending J. W. Thompson’s military school, at Oak dale, in those days a splendid schooL Dr. Foster then went to Baltimore where he entered the Baltimore Medi cal College. During the vacations he practiced with the late Dr. John W. Page, near Burlington. After com pleting his medical education Dr. Fos ter returned to his home community and began the practice of his profes sion. He was manned to Miss Margaret Whitesell and to this union was one daughter, Mrs. J. D. Gregg, of Liber ty. Dr. and Mrs. Foster moved to Liberty many years ago. • Since his wife’s death five years ago, Dr. Fos ter’s niece had been living with him. While the deceased underwent an operation a few weeks ago, he had recuperated and was in his usual state of health until on the day prior to his death when he began suffering with his head. He remarked to his son-in law, Dr. Gregg, the evening before the end came that if any of his patients had similar symptoms he would pro nounce the ailment a burst blood vessel, but regretted having to diag nose his own case that way knowing the result. At bed time he urged Dr. and Mrs. Gregg to go home and rest, saying the telephone would be connected and they would be notified of any change. He apparently rested during the night and at six o’clock Thursday morning upon being asked by his niece as to his condition said, “I do not under stand,” and just here gasped and the end came, Dr. and Mrs. Gregg arriv ing just as he died. In the passing of Dr. Foster the county has lost a good citizen, the community a good, conscientious physician and the daughter an ideal, sympathetic father. An unusual trib ute paid by Dr, Gregg to his father in-law is that ,i<All that I am that is worth while is due to Dr. Foster and his influence.” He was at all times interested in civic and educational af fairs and upon numerous occasions has assisted worthy young people in securing an education. He was a Mason and also a member of the Jr. O. U. A. M. He represent-' ed this county in the Legislature from 1912 to 1916.
