Gradually his Bcheme de veloped until he was forced to resign this work and begin more earnestly for the school above mentioned. He began at the bottom with no money in sight and has worked and traveled, soliciting aid here, yonder and everywhere, until now his ef forts are being crystalited in the erection of the first buildings to be used for this purpose.

Durham superior court for the trial of criminal cases, adjourned Saturday afternoon. J The most important case of the term was that of Koonce Patterson, charged with burg lary. The evidence in the case was given by Dr. J. W. Petty, Mrs. Petty and her ..sister. Mrs. Petty and her sister were posi- vive m their testimony that Patterson was the man seen in the house, and Dr. Petty testified as to hearing the women call for help. An important witness was Solomon Shepard, who was brought here from Raleigh, where he is serving a term in the pentitentiary. Shepard ac knowledged that he was the man that entered the Petty home and endeavored to show by telling of the situation of the" room and the surroundings. His evi dence varied some, but after the jury, which was far above the average jury for the trial of a capital case for intelligence, did not find sufficient fact to hang the negro, and returned a verdict of not guilty. Court ended with a mistrial in the case against Spot Stanford for selling whiskey. Quite i number of cases of minor impor tance were settled Saturday. REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY. , Following is the report of the grand jury: Hon. W. J. Adams, Judge Pre siding. May. 1910 Terra Criminal Court Durham County: Dear Sir: ; The Grand jury has acted 3n all bills brought before it. The County jail was visited by the errand jury in a body and found to be in good, sanitary condition. Prisoners reported that they were well cared for. The Court House was also in stated, and found to be in reasonable Igood condition, ex cept the basemtnt, which needed cleaning up, wood, coal and rubbish being gererally scatted- ed. A committee visited the various county officers, and found same to be neatlv keDt. but did not examine the books or records of any. for the reason .that in pur opinion no one except an expert accountant or auditor could ex amine and make an intelligent report as to the proper and accurate keeping of the various records and books of the county. Therefore, we recommend that provision be made for such ex amination before the expiration of the present term of office. We note that the improvement in the Registe.' of Deeds office recommend by a former Grand Jury, has recently been made, that of building a more com modious vault. We commend the board of. county commis sioners for this work. We reccomend that similar im provement be made In the county clerks office, it being treatly in need of more vault room. . A committee visited !the con victs camps, and found same in irood condition with no com plaint whatever on the part of the Prisoners. The County Home and the Work House were also visited and thoroughly inspected. The inmates and prisoners are seem- incrlv well cared for and the general condition of the premises good. Respectfully submitted, A. L. Weatiierspoon, Foreman Grand Jury. The public schools, at East and West Durham closed this week with appropriate exercises. HE OLD MAN VISITS CCUHT pproves of the Report of IM Jury But Sees No Reason. SURPRISED AT NUMBER0FP03RPECFU Solomon Shepard a Wonder.--Poli tics Quiet, But Men Stirring for - Statistics. True to his word "Old Man" remained in town this week and came in. to tell us about attend ing court last week. ; :, 'I spent much time in court ast week and found out a num ber of things about which I was ignorant before, but in the main he proceedings differ little from previous terms of the court ; "The recommendations of the grand jury, which I hope you will publish this week were good. However, I see little use in the grand jury calling attention to he condition of the basement at the court house because every grand jury since I remember ha3 done the same thing, and I see no reason to continue to say something about it only for the next grand jury to come along and find the same conditions. "Other recommendations cf the grand jury regarding the em nlovment of an expert accountant to look over the books and re port as to their condition before new officers are elected, is a good one. When the newly elected officers take charge Durham will have an auditor to look over these matters and he should be able to start in right. This should be done as a matter of justice to the present officers,. i that they may be able to show to the public they have been faithful in the discharge of their duty. There are some reports being talked around that is calcu lated to do harm, and an expert could set these matters right and the reDorts being circulated would be stopped. "I heard that negro, Solomon Shepard, testify. That negro is a wonder. There are few people that believe he is guilty of the crime for which Koonce Patter son was being tried, but his testi monv was in the main straight. In one or two particulars he did not describe conditions, -tut he did describe many things that would have seemed impossible had he 'not been in the room. This crazy negro seems to have more sense than the average. He was carried back to the peniten tiary, where, if I do not miss my guess be will be heard from De- fore so very long. "In talking around I learned that there have been returned in Durham 1120 names on the insol vent poll tax list. I wa3 sur prised, for I thought that Dur ham people generally were well to do people and I bad no idea nearly a fourth of the voting population was insolvent. It is a bad showing for county or the efforts of the sheriff in collecting poll tax. "What 1 had to say last week about the pretty front yard and filthy condition of the back yard seems to have made some people think, as I bave heard of severa back yards having the attention they needed within the last few days. "I was asking about whether it was possible that after the able chance along that line by Jadca Adams, wonder if any body had been presented before the erand iury for usuary. A fellow standing around remark ed that it was his opinion that it wouldbedifficulttoever convict any of the loan offices on that charge. When asked why he thought that way he said he would tell me conditions and that I could draw my own conclusions 'You know,' said he,' that when a prisoner is sent to the : roads he ?urt officers receive only half of the fees due in they case, while if he pays his fine the get full fees. I have seen men that make it a business to lend money pay fines for several people con victed during the term. This is the reason I have the opinion just expressed." "Well, said the "old man," I have been with you for about four weeks now, and it is getting hot the fish will bite, and I am going home to rest up and try to forget that I have been here and what I have learned. Me and the old lady will spend the re mainder of our days in quietude and be happy, believing that all the world is good and trying to do good, while you may trod your way and see and hear things every day that will surprise you. Good-by, if you get time we will be glad to have you come to see us and see how people away from the bustle of daily contact with men that look only to make money can be." " "The Old Man," left, saying as he walked out the door that he really believed he contracted the hook-worm disease while here. ' - Begins Next Monday. Mr. J. A. Giles, new post master for Durham, has been sworn in and will enter upon his duties next Monday, May 30th. Mr. John T.
