GRAND
REPORT 0
JURY TOM COURT
New Court House and New
County Home Recommended;
Jail Well Kept; Bridges
and Roads Need Repairs.
The following is the report of the
grand jury for this term of court,
Mr. J. F. Moose being the foreman:
"We, the grand jury for this term
of court, respectfully submit the fol
lowing report of our work:
"We have examined the witnesses
and passed on all the bills coming
before us and have reported on same.
"A committee of three from our
body examined the offices of the sher
iff, register of deeds and clerk of
court. In the latter we found a
crowded condition that demands at
tention. More room for filing docu
ments is greatly needed. On account
of lack of room, papers which should
be filed are in boxes on the floor. All
the offices are well kept, under exist-,
ing conditions but all are much ham
pered because of lack of room. We
would strongly recommend the imme
diate construction of a new court
house for Burke county.
"We visited the .jail in a body and
found it well kept. The prisoners say
that they are well fed and cared for.
MA committee of five was sent to
the county home and report that con
ditions there very unsatisfactory.
They attach no blame to the keeper,
since he seems to be doing the best
he can with what he has, but they
say that a new home is almost neces
sary. The present buildings are di
lapidated, the roofs leak, the inmates
need new clothing and bedding and
they are not as comfortably taken
care of as it is Burke county's duty
to care for her poor. We urge im
mediate action by the county com
missioners to improve these condi
tions and to provide a new home.
"Reports come to us that several
bridges, particularly the Henry riv
er bridge, the Abernethy creek
bridge, Hildebrand creek bridge,
Camp creek bridge, Lower creek
bridge, McDowell ford bridge, Rhod
hiss bridge, Icard bridge and the Til-ley-Huffman
bridge are. in bad condi
tion and need new floors and practi
cally all the bridges in the county
need paint. The public roads in the
. rural districts also need work."
MEALS DE LUXE IN AIR
Crew of Dirigible ZR-4 Will En
joy Regular $2 Dinners.
Table d'hote meals will be served
en route to the crew of the dirigible
ZR-2. Sample menus issued by tne
Navy Department show that hot food
will be prepared on special cookers
attached to the engines. Breakfast
will include cereal, fruit, bacon and
eggs and coffee, while the luncheon
card shows roast "beef, sliced toma
toes, soup, greert onions, cheese,
cakes and even candy J For dinner a
regular $2 spread is scheduled, in
cluding clam chowder, roast beef,
saute potatoes, spaghetti, pickels and
canned peaches.
Every member of the crew will be
specially selected and specially train
ed as a result of the program laid
down for the flight by the Navy De
partment more than a year ago. Most
of the crew participated in the con
struction of the airship, while at the
same time taking intensive courses in
technical subjects bearing upon her
operation. Between, times, they took
part in track and field events and in
other physical exercises designed to
keep them fit for the 31-00 mile trip.
BELIEVE MAN LOST
IN THE MOUNTAINS
Bedford, New York, Man Left
On a Hiking Trip; Not
Been Heard From Since
WOMEN AND THE DIS
ARMAMENT CONGRESS
Buffalo Times.
Growing demand that the women
of the country be represented on the
American delegation to the disarma
ment conference, "finds expression by
many prominent women, and typifies
an opinion which is shared by a
large number of men.
It is certain that women have ev
ery which is much at stake as men
have in bringing about emaincipation
from heavy disarmaments, with their
perpetual temptation to war and the
, stupendous burden of expense they
entail.
On the principle that those who
have most to gain or lose in public
questions are entitled to be heard in
the proceedings relating to their dis
posal women are justified in claiming
a seat at the conference table.
Furtheremore, women have the suf
frage, and the women of the United
States form half of the electorate.
Women have been elected to congress,
women are not only serving on juries
but acting as judges.
Not alone the basic proposition of
woman's right to be heard in the mat
ter which so intimately concerns her
destiny as the issue between poten
tial war and probable peace, but the
immense and continually increasing
participation of women in public af
fairs, sustains the argument that wo
men should have representation m
the disarmament conference.
WOMEN AND TRUTH
Asheville Citizen.
One by one the little fables men
have made to flatter themselves and
derorgate women are falling by the
wayside. The sharp blade of experi
ence is mowing them down. Woman,
invading the fields once held sacred to
the uses of man, is showing what
superiorities she really possesses,
and they are. by no means few. Now
comes F. N. Withey, the new York
banker, with a few enlightening ob
servations on the relative honesty
and dishonesty of many kinds of peo
ple. Profane men, he says, are hon
est because they blow off thoir dis
content in cuss words, fat men be
cause they eat well, married men be
cause they fear disgrace for their
families. As to the races, the Chin
aman is the most dependable male
being in handling money. But most
honest, scrupulous and reliable of all
people is "the American woman."
That knocks a considerable hole in
the man's carefully built up theory
that women lead the world in inabil
ity to keep a secret, that they have
ideals lower than men's respecting
honor and that one of their chief
characteristics is a keen delight in
baseless gossip. Mr. Withey express
es facts which fair-minded observers
have always noted. You, no doubt,
have marked them. Take gossip, for
instance. The champion, long-distance,
horizontal, catch-as-catch-can,
ground and lofty tumblers in the field
of gossip are the men of small xtown
or village who, assembling at the
drug store or under the best shade
trees, rake their neighbors fore and
aft with small talk that gets smaller
as the day lengthens. One of the
big subjects of their gossip is wo
men's weakness for gossiping. And
there is the explanation of the libel
on woman. Gossiping men have
sought to mitigate their own guilt by
ascribing it in -greater measures to
the women.
A big majority of the men who em
ploy private secretaries say that in
this position the woman is much su
perior to the man and far more to be
trusted. Men are more apt to use
secrets for their own advancement.
Women are more honest, perhaps, be
cause they have a higher faculty for
putting the interests of others
ahead of their own.
The family and friends of B. L.
Harsell of Bedford, N. Y., are search
ing for' him throughout the mountains
of Virginia, North Carolina, east Ten
nessee and northern Georgia. The
last seen or heard of Mr. Harsell was
on February 16, when he left Roan
oke, Va., on a walking trip over the
mountains to Jasper, Ga. He plan
ned this trip to take about six weeks.
His family is offering $200 reward
for information that will lead to
finding, according to information re
ceived here.
Mr. Harsell is a naturalist and
hunter. Although he was not famil
iar with the southern mountain ter
ritory which he had mapped out for
his trip, he had tramped, hunted and
fished in Maine, Wyoming,, Canada,
and in the Rocky mountains. He
was without fear of the dangers of
lonely trails. Moreover, he was arm
ed and fully equipped for a long
mountain hike. When last seen he
was in the best of health and spirits.
Wherever he went he made friends.
He was 48 years old, clean shaven,
and looked younger. He was over
six feet ;in height, weighed 200
pounds, and was straight and rugged
in build. His brown hair was tinged
with gray and grew well back on his
forehead. He had blue eyes, regular
features and the appearance of a
healthy, frank, outdoor gentleman.
His family is hoping thnt he has
merely met with delay of some kind,
but fear that he may have become
sick or disabled and is unable to get
word to them. They realize the diffi
culty in tracing him, and therefore
ask fhat hs be well treated if found
alive and that word of him be sent'
if he is known to be alive or dead.
Information of him should be sent to
his brother. Normal Harsell of Al

"Why I Put Up With Rats For
Years," Writes N Windsor, Farmer.
"Years ago 1 ooueht some Tat
poison, which nearly killed our finp
watch dog. It so scared us that we
sunered a long time with rats until
my neighbor told me about RAT
SNAP. That's the sure rat killer and
a safe one." Three sizes, 35c, 65c,

THE present New Perfection Oil
Cook Stove owes its success to its
design and the care with which it
is built. Early types of "oil stoves"
cannot compare with it in conveni
ence, economy and durability.
The New Perfection burner
produces the hottest kind of a
flame white-tipped. This and
the long blue chimney are re
sponsible for the splendid results
obtained by New Perfection users
everywhere.
The chimney is made long for a distinct
purpose. It assures the burning of every
last drop of kerosene used. There is no fuel
wasted in the form of soot on the bottom
of utensils. Then, too, it drives the cleaa -
heat of the white -tipped flame forcibly
against the pan or kettle. No flame is ever
as hot as the area just a little above it. jh
There's no stooping over to the oven when L
you use a New Perfection. It is up where if,
you can reach it easily. The New Perfectiot '
oven has a three-point locking device that n
keeps the door closed tightly and prevents s
the escape and waste of heat. Youcanlool esv
into it at all times through the glass door. rov
The large four-burner size with warming cab. I10
inet is most popular. There are also, how. eS'
ever, five, three, two and one-burner sbei. jver

NORTH CAROLINA IS LEAD-
ING IN THE COME-BACK
In a survey of unemployment con
ditions in the South Atlantic district
the department of labor shows that
industrial conditions in North Caro
lina are improving and that this State
is leading the entire distrct in the
gradual "come-back" from unemploy-'
ment and depression. The South At-
lantic district comprises Delaware,
Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia,
North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia. Florida and the District of
Columbia.
General conditions throughout the
district are not altogether encourag
ing, but the reports from the employ
ment centers of North Carolina ara
above the average in optimism and
the government figures indicate at
least that North Carolina industries
are on the up grade toward recovery.
WORK
Henry L. Doherty.
We have preached the doctrine of
the hardship of work until we almost
believe in it ourselves, and yet work
gives to life all that there is to make
life worth while. Work of itself has
furnished to mankind more happiness
than any other one thing. All work
is not happiness, but life with no
work would be unbearable. My idea
of the real aristocrat, the man who
can from within his own soul look
down on others, is the master work
man, no matter what his line of work
may be. A job well done gives plea
sure to the man who does it. There
is happiness in the pride of being a
master workman.
LINN-JOHNSON
Hickory Record, 15th.
A marriage of much interest in
Hickory and Landis was solemnized
at 10 o'clock this morning at the
home of the bride's parents, Mr. and
Mrs. J B. Johnson, in Longview,
when their daughter, Miss Bessie, be
came the bride of Mr. David Linn of
Landis, the ceremony being perform
ed by Rev. W. R. Bradshaw. Mrs.
Linn, who is an accomplished young
lady, taught school at Landis last
year and it was there that she met
her future husband.
Mr. Linn is a successful merchant.
As Miss Johnson, the bride is well
known throughout this section of the
State. She was educated at the Ap
palachian Training school at Boone,
and for the past five years has been
teaching.
The good wishes of many friends
accompany the young couple.
PASSED THROUGH COMET TAIL
Brilliant light bands which took the
form of a wreath running from west-
northwest to east were produced by
tails of a comet through which the
earth passed last Monday night, as
tronomers at the Koenighstuhl Ob
servatory announced. These light
bands gradually faded from view with
the approach of dawn.
Observations taken at the Univer
sity were said to have indicated that
the head of the comet? passed between
the sun and earth and the light from
the comet's tail moved from north to
south. Astronomers predict the com
et again be visible to points in the
southern hemispheres where condi
tions for observations are favorable
at the present time.

ESSAY ON KINGS.
Boston Transcript.
The class composition was
"Kings," and this is what one
wrote:
"The most powerful king on earth
is Wor-king; the laziest, Shir-king;
one of the worst kings, Smo-king;
the -wittiest, Jo-kinsr: the Quietest.
Thin-king; the thirstiest, Drin-king;
the- slyest, Win-king; and the noisest.
Tal-king."
Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea
Remedy.
This is unquestionably one of the
most successful medicines in use for
bowel complaints. A few doses of it
will cure an ordinary attack of diar
rhoea. It has been used in nine epi
demics of dysentery with perfect suc
cses. It can always be depended upon
to give prompt relief in cases of col
ic and cholera morbus. .. When reduc
ed with water and sweetened it fs
pleasant to take. Every family
should keep this remedy at hand. Ad
