REPORT OF. 6RAND JURY. This Body Finds That All the County Insti tutions are in Excellent Condition. We, the grand jury for the May term 1906 Superior court of Row an county do hereby respectfully submit the -following as instruct ed by your Honor : We have disposed of the busi ness coming before us. We have visited the county home and found the institution well kept. The houses' and ground as a whole are neatly and well kept and reflect credit on those in charge. The inmates express themselves as being satis fied and well cared for and spoke in complimentary terms of the management. We visited the county chain gang and found the prisoners well clad, well fed and comfortably housed. Expressions from the prisoners lead us to believe that they are properly treated, believe those in charge are charging their duty. -We visited the cout house found the sheriff's office well kept. He has a complete and accurate system'of accounts and his books are well kept. The register's office was visited and found to be in perfect order. All records are placed in such a manner that any man with ordi nary intelligence could, unassist ed, find any record deposited there. It reflects great credit upon the present incumbent The clerk's office is in good con dition. All accounts have the appearance of being well kept. We believe the present incumbent is well guarding the county's in terests. We examined the county treas urer's books and found the same to be neatly and accurately kept. We visited the , county jail. The prisoners say they are well fed and properly treated. The sanitary condition of the jail seems tofbe in perfeGt order. H. T. Graeber, Foreman. W. F. Thompson, Clerk. THE MILL OF JUSTICE. JUNE COURT FOR ROWAN. We dis-and Thef got off Easy. Thomas Weir and Chas. Moran, the two members of the House smith's and Bridgemen'si Union, who were engaged in dynamiting buildinge in New York on which strikes had been declared, were sentenced this week, Weir to the Elmira Reformatory and Moran to four years and eight months in oing cng. in sentencing tnem, Judge Foster, in General Sessions said: "The public has a teat unions, but it is such men as you that disgrace labor movements and hurt labor Jv Yon do. more harm than good. This is a most atrocious crime." J Both men ap pear to have gotten off light con sidering the enormity of their crime. -Charlotte Observer. Robbed the Mails. W. B. "?Smith, assistant post master at Homersville in this county, was convicted in the U." S. Courtthis afternoon, charged with opening mail and with ab stracting $20 from a letter writ ten by B. F. Kirk, of Raleigh, on Sept 27, 1905. The prisoner was ordered into the custody of an of ficer and is now in jail.: Sen tence will probably be passed to morrow. It seems that Smith's talk got him into the trouble. Af ter being accused of taking the $20, and before any of the gov ernment's officers knew of the oc currence, Smith paid back the money, denying his guilt. Among those interested against Smith were Miss Bessie Keith and her father. After paying back the mqney with the tacit understand ing that no action - would follow, Smith got mad and made accusa tions against Miss Keith, saying she had stolen a ring. Then the Keith folks got mad, with the result that the Postoffice Depart ment was informed of the affair and now-the assistant postmaster will spend a term in a federal prison. Asheville special to the Charlotte Observer. A Shower of Sulphur. Yesterday afternoon one of the finest showers of the season fell, and along with the water there came a large quauity of sulphur. After the water dried up sulphur could be seen in many places on the street, and several parties got spoons and took it up. borne of the older "people say this raining of Sulphur occurs quite often in May, though declarations are new to most folks. Some say . this phenomenon was caused, by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius, which has been belching forth this min eral in large quantities of late. Winston Cor. Charlotte Observer. larceny.

He was in Columbus jail until May 2nd. That night Bettie released him. The irrepressible Bettie, noted for her escapades, amours and moon shining, is a dare-devil woman who once with pistol, defied three men who failed to arrest her. On May 2nd she added to her fame by breaking jail, burning straw beds and a door so as to make her exit, and freed from prison Ed. Church. She broke the locks to her prison that night and turned some pris oners out of jail. Then she placed her straw bed against -the fall or trap door and thereby burned down the door and Church then made his escape. t Bettie Sims de ceuded the stairs, when Jailer New man heard her and stopped her. She fought like a tiger and cut Newman in three places. Bettie Sims is still in jail, but Church is over the hills and for away. Rutherfordton Sun.
