It is kept up bec iiise it is custom but in most instances it is piactically barren of good results. Every county home keeper kuows that some time during the first week of court: the grand jusy will make its usual per J'unrtory visit to the home; otten he is advi.sfd of the very dav. Thereupon the keeper ilputs his best foot forward." He has a good dinner cooked tor the grand jurors ai d brushes up the panpers' quar ters so that they look passably re spectable, and of course he gives the paupers warning to be on their best behaviour and to make no complaints, and they knowing what the keeper can and will do lor them after the grand jury has gone, do r.ot fail to obey instruc tions. So after the grand jurors have eaten the keeper's good din uer, they walk about and pick their teeth with a self satisfied air. The paupers tell them they have plenty to e.it and are treated all right, and the grand jurors believe it be cause they want to believe it. If some of them think things might be improved a little they hesitate to say so lest it may appear dis courteous to the keeper, bo they make the usual steieotyped report that has been made to courts by grand juries for the past 100 years; and occasionally thev throw in a good word for the keeper who gave them such a good diuner. "If county homes could be inves tigated when the keeper was least expecting vim tors; if t htactaal con ditions as thev exist from day to day could he looked into by men without prejudice or biaR arid without fear or favor; and most of a!l by humane, kind hearted men who have the nerve to speud a lit tie more mouey, if necessary, to make the aged and infirm paupers oomfortable, then conditions at county homes would be improved and these places would not be, as !)5 per cent, of them iu North Car olina are to-day, a disgrace to our so-called (hrintian civilizitiou a disgrace to this age of enlighten ment.''
