Grand Jury Report '
i
Before being discharged by
Judge Bond, the grand jury made
their report, which we print in
part, as follows:
They visited the different offi
ces in the courthouse and found
everthing in a most satisfactory
condition. The increased activi
ties in land sales, transfers etc.,
have caused a considerable in
crease in the work of the regis
ter of deeds and .that the clerical
force furnished that office is alto
gether inadequate to the prompt
transaction of the business of
the office, and that the public in
terest will be promoted by the
installation of a more modern in
dex system for the offices of both
the clerk of the superior court
and the register of deeds was re
commended.
They visited the county jail and
found everything satisfactory,
but that the jailer was allowed a
totally inadequate allowance for
his services: that .the jail roof
needed repair; that the water sys
tem was temporarily out of order
and recommended that both be
immediately repaired. They also
recommended that an iron rail be
placed around the Confederate
monument. '
At the county home was found
12 white and 11 colored inmates
and all appeared to be contented
and , well cared for. The farm
and live stock were in good, con
dition. The supply of provisions;
forage, etc. , was very . satisfac
tory. Some of the buildings need
ed repairing. As none of the in
mates are physically .able to work
on the farm it is absolutely ne
cessary that adequate help be
given the superintendent. ,
Rev. Mr. -Hartley, of Southern
Pines, who is holding mission
services at the Episcopal church
here this week, has a wonderful
way of drawing large crowds to
hear him. Go hear him tonight

a man who needs little intrcduc-. -tion
and no ap6logy. ,He is a manv -of
integrity and . ability as befits .
anyone who would aspire to a
place on the; highest tribunal of .
the state, but he is more-than
that. Judge Adams is a studehl
of social questions,' and with ft he

J His temperament is judicial, his

vative man. ; . ."
; Judge Adams knows the law, V
which is one thing, but he knows
human character, which is more.
He has the faculty of weighing
actions and motives and of giving 1
proper rating to surroundings. He
is the type of judge men would
have confidence in if there Were
no law, for law is merely the ef-r
fort of men -to modify the rela- ;
tions of man to man. c
... But Judge Adams know.s the ,
law, and he knows the lawyers.
He knows the customs of law, and
their applications. If he should
be chosen to the supreme bench
the state will be well served. If
not it is to be presumed that the
man who is successful will be of
ithe highest character also,-for it
is impossiDie tnat any Dut a man
of that type . can be a winner as
against the Moore1 county jurist .
Moore County has a friendly faith"
in Judge Adams, and a sincere ,
hope that he will win in this cam-
paign because he is a.mah in ev- 1
ery way suited for the place.
