The following terse information is I sent us by 1 he Jrublic Welfare Pro gress, issued by the State Board of i Charities and Public Welfare, Raleigh, N. C, in Volume 7: "The laws of North Carolina pre scribe a certain standard for the maintenance of county jails and the treatment of prisoners confined in them. ' Among the requirements are the following: "i. Every county jail shall he pro vided with at least five separate apartments for prisoners. "2. Plans for new jails must be approved by. the State Board of Charities and Public Welfare. "3. Every prisoner must within forth-eight hours after his admission to any jail be given a thorough physical examination. "4. The races and sexes must be kept separate. "Every one of these requirements of law is being violated by county officials in the State. Very few jails have five apartments. The best as a rule have three or four. Many have only two, and some but one. County Commissioners are apparently generally ignorant of the second pro vision. The fourth requirement is by no means always observed. If any county in the State is complying with the third, the State Department of Public Welfare will send a represent ee to visit the county and devote an entire issue of PUBLIC WEL FARE PROGRESS to its jail. Every official who fails to comply with these requirements of law in regard to jails is guilty of a misdemeanor." ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED. Mrs. Henry A.

THE Nx2W COUNTY HOME, A trip to the new county home, a mile and a haF east of Pittsboro, will surprise anyone in Chatham. Work on the building has progressed so far that the home shows up to good ad vantage. About all the brick work has been finished, the roof covered. The building has been wired for lights and the rooms have ben lathed for plastering and this work is now in progress. There are 48 rooms outside of the superintnedent's quarters, 24 for col ored people and 24 for white. Then on the south front floor is a reception room of octagonal shape, which is large and roomy. On the east end of the building is a good sized room with two large doors and two extra large sized windows. This room has an open fire place, designed, we sup pose, for the inmates who wish to get together fof a social chat. All the wires for lighting the bulid- incr ore ennsed in a hollnw rj:he which makes it almost impossible for the building to catch fire from the wires. In fact, the building will be fire proof in every paritcular, so far as it is possible to make it. Plenty of light will be had as most of the rooms will have two electric lights. The basement will hold the heating plant and is large and well devised. This home will be a God send to the aged and infirm, and .compared to the old home now in use, it will be like going into a new world. The committee in charge of the pro-, morion of this splendid institution de serve all the praise that anyone can give them. Leon T. Lane, check writer. $25.
