WHAT TO DO WITH THE PRISONERS When the court* of the countIm ■end a thouaand men down to Kalaigh to cpend from a few month* to a Itfe time in the atate priaon then the pro blem ariaea aa to how to oae theae men, many of whom are afronfc and young and plenty able to much more than earn their keep If aume profi table employment could be found fr.r them. It la now «pming to light that many of oar ritixena have become en tangled with the law who are not atrong and hoaky enough to do «uch work aa the ordinary criminal can do, each aa road work. A targe num ber of women are In thia elaaa. In other atate* they eetaMiaL fur niture factories, aboa factor*ea, and all kinda of enterpriaea auch aa are uaually to be found where men ey work and earn their tiring. We ooce had aoch work In oar atate priaon for our priaonera, but there went up auch a pro teat from private enterpriaea that thia work waa all narrowed down to farming and brick ■taking, and the hrickmaking waa narrowed down to what brick roe Id be uaed by the atate in ita erection of atate buildHIg*. For many year* now the priaonera hare been worked on farm* and road work aa the only way to gat profitable employment for them. It ha* just come to light that the priaon la now running In debt heavily It haa been aelf-eapporting for many yeara. To account for thia they claim that too many folka who are not atrong phyaically are in priaon and are a burden to the atate. The priaon authorities now are aak Ing for other work for the priaonera. They want a printing office for aome of them to work hi, they want a a hoe j factory for other* and a furniture : factory, and with all theee new way* to employ priaonera they think they could reduce the coat of tbeir kaap to the atate. max mm turn m tM old cry of competition.

DOtN&FOOL THINGS Thm m mm folks who mmr would be noticed only for the foolish things they do, Down at Raleigh there hi a nun who got elected to the lerUUtore and he la now in the pub lic ey« for the r«a» aw that he wants a new law that will grant ft divueca in all caaes where no child la barn within two years after s marriage. Of coarse he thinks this new law ia important and would save the day. We would expect hhb to W against evolution and willing to usuinit much of the pact that has been for gotten. Evidently the only reason ha does net hiran the hero of the day is that the folks will be ao dull aa to not take him seriously. Anyway, be rot himself talked about. Mrs. F. D. Holcomh left last Satur day for Fayetteville to ipend aeveral day* at the bedside of her nephew, Lote Greenwood, who ia very ill. Mr. Greenwood has been in poor health for many months and little hoaa to entertained for his recovery. Be it * Hon of the late John Greenwood of Round Peak, also a brother to Mrs. Matt SatterfieU of this city. For more than 25 years be has been engag rd in the wholesale mercantile busi ness in Fayetteville where ha haft been most euccesaful. He has many friradx in this section who will be pained to learn of his illness. Surry Citizen Paeeee Away Joe R. lauci, prominent farmer of the Mountain Park Motion of this rounty, died at his home on Wednes day, Jan. 14th after a short illness of pneumonia. Mr. Isaacs was well known over the entire county. Dur ing the last year of term of Sheriff Briton he serred aa special tax col lector for the county when he waa ap pointed to collect a special school tax that was left off the regular ticket through mi error.

Another section of tha aame bill would extend tha term of Judge Lewellyn two more year*—that hi, ha waa elected foe two years In the Iaat election and by tha MB that la now before tha Lajrialatora Ma term would ha a total of four yam. With in tha paat faw years this office has baan very much sought for and tha campaigns that have been waged •ear ft have baan warm and long drawn out, both in the Democratic primaries and in the general fac tions. And it la owing to this fact, posnibly, that the Legislature is be., tag asked to make the term of this of fice four years and thus remove It further from politics. in* mn wnirn would place ivw Mount Airy townshiprourt official* on • salary place* the nurden of payia* them oa the County Commissioner*.

In the meantime *troag in fluence* are *aid to be working in favor of tlie aalary bill and with Mr. Ryerly strong against it and also alirning many of the people up against it—with this combination < working at both ends of the rope a hard fight looms ahead and the out- j come cannot be forecasted at thia ear ly date. A bill of county interest is being. prepared that would establish at Dob son what would be termed a county | court. Thi* court wouM he held every first Monday in each month for the, trial of civil cases only where the ; amount involved doe* not exceed $500 * or po*sibhr 11.000.
