SUPERIOR COURT.
We, the grand jurors of the Spring! c
Term of Person County ' Superior i
Court, bag to submit to His Honor.It
Judge Sinclair, judge presiding, the1S
following report of what we' have c
done: <1
(1) We have examined and acted c
upon all bills sent to us and have re-fi
turned true bills and made present- |S
ments in cases we thought needed jr
such action. r
(2) The whole body visited the . I
County Home. We .found the inmate] j v
installed in the new home, a place of . i
beauty, comfort and convenience, andjv
everything running smoothly. We'r
found about 1000 pounds of home- (
cured meat on hand, feed and hay s
on hand enough to make this crop, I
"I""'' ds hnn-eU nf i-nra ft hllshela of i I
stock pe?S, 40 gallons of pure apple 1
vinegar and 70 gallons of home-made c
molasses. We find that the superin-lc
tendent, during: his' spare time, has | c
made four very nice and neat look-j
ing coffins to be used by the inmates,,
thereby saving the County the expense
*of purchasing expensive cof-j
fins. We recommend that the little
white girl "of about ten years of age,?
now an inmate of the County Home,1
be sent to the school for feeble mind-'
ed persons at Kinston as soon as pos-'
sible. We also recommend that the j
little deaf and dumb colored boy* be
sent. to the State School for such'
persons. This boy has been thoroughly
examined by Dr. Long, the County!
Health Officer, and found to be sound
and free from tuberculosis. We rec-|
ommend that a doOr be cut where the
window now is situated on the stair-1
way. leading from the basement to
facilitate bringing out ashes from the|
large furnace of the heating plant.
We wish to compliment the Superin-!
tendent of the County Home for the
good work he is carrying on. j
(3) We have visited the jail and;
found everything in good condition.*
sanitary and comfort for the prison-,
ers. We have also investigated and
found that the Health Officer has examined
each prisoner within 24 hours
after the prisoner!^confinement since
the jail has been renovated and re-!
arranged/
We have examined the Sheriff's of- j
fice and found everything kept in an c
orderly manner and his books kept }
in a neat and systematic manner. Al-.1 x
so the Register of Deeds office was l
visited and everything in order. The j ;
Clerk's office was also visited and ?
found in order. We examined the of- t
fice of the Supt. of Public Instruction: x
and find his books in good condition,' r
and we recopimend that we have ^
? County-wide special high school f
tax of thirty (30) cents on the hun-j>
dred dollars as now in effect in some \
of the school districts. j
In regards to remodeling'the court |
house, we feel that this mattw^sjiould ]
be left to the Board of County
minsioners.
