Dr. Hyatt' Report, JpThe first monthly report submit 3d to the board of city commissioners by Dr. F. C. Hyatt, city health officer, was received by the board yesterdayaf ternoon. , This report showed tfeat Dr. Hyatt's time during June was taken up largely with the work of bringing under control the further spread in Greensboro of typhoid fever and smallpox, although he has found time to do a great many other Aside from passing on many bills and attending to routine business af fairs, the county commissioners spent most of the time of the July meeting in the consideration of road matters. A committee from the Greensboro Merchants' Association appeared be fore the board and asked if the coun ty could not do something in the way of repairing the road between Greensboro and High Point, which is in bad condition. The committee pointed out the importance to the county of this highway and pledged their co-operation in working out some scheme to have it rebuilt. The board took no action in the matter, although members stated that they hoped to be able to get to this road soon and put it in ' proper shape. There was no definite hope held out, however, that the work can be done any time within the near future. A petition was presented to the board on behalf of property owsers on the Spring Garden street road, from the city limits to Lindley park, asking that the road be widened to a uniform width of 50 feet and a building line established that will eliminate litigation and other trouble in future. Those petitioning agreed to give sufficient land for the im provement, and the board granted the petition and ordered the matter properly advertised. The county is at the present time constructing an asphalt pavement from the Normal College to Lindley park. The property owners, in ask ing for this paving, gave $1,500 and the Pomona Terra Cotta Company gave the equivalent of about $500 more in crushed terra cotta for the concrete. It was stated this week that the owners of property have pledged between $3,000 and $4,000 additional for a mile and a half more paving of this kind out to Muir's chapel at any time the commission ers see fit to extend the road.

"Men who make arms and ammunition to ship to Europe are as guilty of murder as the man who fires the shot," said Congressman Stephen G. Porter, member of the house foreign rela tions committee, in a Fourth of July oration on the North Side here today. "These men who are . engaged in the manufacture of munition5? of war are accessories to the crime hat is causing the awful bloodshed through out Europe today," said the congress man. "They are profiting by the blood of those who are falling on the battlefields and they are helping to increase the awful destruction in the warring lands. 'I have Said much about this and think that this traffic we are indulg ing in, the shipment of arms and ammunition abroad, shored -fee stop ped. We are helping to prolong tie war, and, doing this, the -blood of these soldiers is on our hands." Congressman Porter iaid a high tribute to President Wilion for the manner in which he had conducted the foreign relaions of the govern ment during the conflict. He td that 'ttrough he did ncjt agree with many of the details in the president's attitude, he was in full accord with his policy in general. Funeral of Paris. July 6. Th funeral of Gen.

The members of the board spent Monday in settling with the treas urer, going over the past year's work with the superintendent and consid ering plans for the future. At Tuesday's session Prof. Thomas R. Foust was re-elected county su perintendent for the ensuing term of two years, the election being by a unanimous vote of the board. Prof. Foust has been at the head of the county's school system for nearly 11 years, having taken up the work in the fall of 1904, when the late Thom as A. Sharpe resigned to enter com mercial life. Since that time he has been re-elected at each redurring biennial election without question or opposition. Guilford's schools have made wonderful progress under Su perintendent Foust's administration and stand today in the very forefront of the state's public schools. Yesterday the board had under consideration the farm life schools of the county, which seem to afford one of the biggest problems Confront ing those in charge of the county's school affairs. No definite conclu sion has been reached and probably will not be until the board of edu cation can have a conference with State Superintendent Joyner.

Eng land on the charge of assault and I battery, the offense being committed A. Saturday at Guilford Battle Ground upon Solicitor Michael Schenck, of Hendersonville, who is a native of Greensboro. Both the state and the defendant were represented by coun sel and the trial consumed several hours and was attended by a large crowd. Squire England fined Tipton $25 and taxed him with the costs for the assault upon Solicitor Schenck. Another warant charged the defend ant with an assault upon Mrs. Schenck, and in this case the de fendant was held for the September term of criminal court. The assault, according to the evi dence, was wholly a surprise to Mr Schenck. The defendant formerly lived in Hendersonville and while there was bound over to court in some cases by Mr. Schenck when he was mayor. Later, when Mr. Schenck was solicitor, he prosecuted the de fendant in other cases. When the two men met at the Battle Ground about the time the parade was form ing Saturday morning, they spoke; then Mr. Schenck was suddenly struck by the defendant. Friends nearby prevented Tipton from con tinuing the assault. Mr. Tipton is in the marble and granite business here and was formerly engaged in a simi lar business at Hendersonville. i R. Following is the monthly report of Dr. W. M. Jones, county superintend ent of health, filed with the commis sioners Monday: County Home. Here the reporc does not vary from previous months.

Some have been admitted to the state hos pital and some are yet at the home. County Work House. Here there has been but one call during the month and that for a case of malaria. County Jail. Here there have been ten calls during the month. There have been a couple of very sick negroes in jail, both having been sent from the camps. One is doing fairly well and the other does not seem to be making much gam. Troy Fitzgerald is in jail and applica tion has been made for him to go to Morgan ton. One negro man now iu jail is crazy and application has been made for admission at the hos pital at Goldsboro. Camps. Eight visits have been made to the camps during the month. Some ae before mentioned have been sent from the camps to jail. John Proctor has a cancer on his eye; has been operated on, the cancerous tissue being burnt out. I cannot say how much benefit he is going to receive, however.
