At the end of the twelve months if the former owner hasn't redeemed his land by payment of the taxes, costs and 20 per cent to the buyer the latter gets a deed for it from the sheriff. In the case of farm lands the bid ding is "less acres," and when the deed is made out, if any, it is made for the entire lot less the number of feet bid by the buyer or less the number of acres, as the case may be.

Plans were outlined for the work that is to be done on the county's highways this month. A large part of these plans had to do with the disposition of the convicts now on the roads. Relative to the proposed improve ments on the Greensboro-High Point road, it was stated that everything was in readiness for this work to be gin Monday, but thc rain interfered. This will begin at the TMr grounds just as soon as weather conditions permit. There was some discussion relative to the improvement of the road from High Point to Archdale, and it is probable that work on this stretrh of highway will begin within a week or ten days. It seemed to the board that gravel would be the best ma terial to be used in this work, as it has proved very satisfactory hereto fore. If it can be arranged, the .re cently purchased automobile trucks will be sent out for the purpose of hauling the gravel, and by this means it will be possible to complete tne worfc very quickly. " LLlls puase oi the matter was being discussed. Chairman Bo ren stated that he believed it will be necessary within the next 60 days for the county to buy at least two addi tional trucks for use in road work as a large amount or repairing must uuuc uuriug ine iail. Vaccinations in County. ' I' fin ATT1 miOCT4n A. - inomuci o transacted a large volume of routine business. A large number of bills were approved for payment, and the report of Dr. William M. Jones, the county health officer, was received. There were quite a number of in teresting statements made in the monthly report of Dr. Jones bly the most interesting of all that he inocculated 1,784 people in the county against typhoid fever dar ing the month. He reported 20 cases of typhoid fever in the county, and four cases of smallpox. There were 15 vaccinations against this disease. There was no diphtheria or scarlet fever. The physician made 14 char ity caBs and had 24 office calls. He examined 11 nuisances, delivered two lectures, made six hookworm exami nations, and treated 11 for this disease. Seven hundred leading men in the business and professional life of Iorth Carolina were ranged about the tables in the large dining hall of the Spencer building on the State Normal and Industrial College cam pus last evening to enjoy the North Carolina Pan-American dinner and hear the splendid speech of. Hon. An- I drew J. Peters, first assistant secre tary of the treasury, the orator of the occasion. The theme was the devel opment of North Carolina and the relation of the state to the building up of a big trade of the nation with South America, Mr. Peters, who came in the place of his chief. Secretary W. G. McAdoo, is probably more familiar with the work that is being done along the line of developing the trade with the South American republics than any other man in the country. Secretary McAdoo says he has been the right 1 3 uauu man in tne work and to him has been left much or the details. He spoke of the work last evening with a comprehension that showed him to be a man of large vision and of un usual intellectual attainments. Mr. Peters is a native of Massa chusetts and has been prominent in public affairs for many years. He represented his state in Congress for several terms and was a factor in the house of representatives, where he served on the ways and means and other important committees. He is a very agreeable man personally and made many wurm friends while here Other speakers of the evening and their subjects were: Dr. Zebulon Brittain, Raleigh, "The Press;" Hon. Bird S. Coler, of New York, "Trans portation;" W. A. Blair, of Winston Salem, "Finance;" W. A. Erwin, of Durham, "Cotton;" Fred N. Tate, of High Point. "Furniture;" J. A.

Dr. 9bnes reported that there has been no sidacness at the home for several months. Of the total number of in mates, there are 23 women, 13-white and -10 negroes. Among the forsr The electrocution of Charles Trull of Charlotte, has again been stayed by Governor Craig, pending an inves tigation by a sanftv rnmmieeinn information --v--v.. w vxxx x 1 Ull 2J attorneys by Warden T. P. Sale, of the State prison, Tuesday moraine The new date gives Trull a reprieve until September 3. For the third time date for the electrocution of the Mecklenburg boy has been set. Following the judgment of the Supreme court deny ing the petition for a new trial, ap peal was made to the governor to sraut a reprieve until the attorneys snouid be able to secure additional evidence upon which the case might oe presented for commutation. In the meantime, Mr. Cameron Morrison has been added to the de fense of Trull. The point is now be ing made that since Trull finds there is no chance for escape for himself, he lays the blame for the murder of the merchant, Sidney Swain, upon his companion. Trull explains nos- ession of $400 on the night of his arrest by the fact that it was put in his hands by his companion, whom he now charges with the crime. The question. as to Trull's sanitv is. a new one It developed during the trial that he was addicted to the use of drugs. An attorney in the case ws charged with contempt of court because Trull received drugs in jail and was under the influence of them while the judje was deliver ing his charee to th inrv A sanity commission will be ap pointed at once to examine into the young man's mental state.
