SPRING TERM OPENS. Great In ere use In tbe Enrollment With AsheW Graded School Classes. The spring term of the Asheboro Graded Schools opened Monday with an enrollment of 408 which is au increase of 18 over that of the fall term. This increase, however, is in the grades that were not crowd ed during the fall term. There are 26 students of the 9 th grade. KThere has been much talk of ad ding -a tenth grade to the course of study in the schools but the fact that these 408 pupils are iu charge of seven teachers, an average of more than 50 pupils to the teacher, has ugge8ted the advisability of in creasing the faoulty for the present course. It is probable that the board of trustees will concider these improvements. Superintendent 0. V. Woosley A J sires very much the visitation of the school by the parents of the pupils, urging that they do so, thus bung ing the school in closer touch with the home which will greatly a;d iu making the, institution a greater success and of greater benefit to the students. The Trusts Some Too.

Mention ing the business interests calls to mind the fact that it has been said that that interest dreads a meeting of this body on account of the agita tor, not that it has anything to fear from the sober action of law makers.

To Hia Honor Benjamin F. Long: We the Grand Jury for the term beg to submit the following report: We have completed the business before our body and have returned all bills submitted to us for actios, and made presentments of all mat ters which are within our knowl. edge. We have examined the Insti tution of the county and the affairs of the county officials, either in a body or by committee. The office of Wm. C. Hammond clerk of the Superior Court, is well' kept. His methods are simple and easily accessible, and we especially commend him for the expene and pains to which he has gone in pro curing a type-writing machine with which to make all of his records, thus making them neat and legible to all. The machine is the person al property of Mr. Hammond. The office of Register of Deeds is found to be in excellent condition, and we highly commend the retir ing Register, Mr. J. P. Boroughs. We would like to see a typewriting machine installed in this office, which would save the county an item in the way of expensive books, aud prove an assistance and conven ience to our citizens. The office of the county Sheriff is kept veil, and we commend Sheriff Huywoith. Llis records are neat and so far as practicable to obtain are accurate. , The ofliee of Count v Superintend. eut of Public Instruction is now in cii-trge of Mr. W, X. Elder, cluir man of ibr Uour.ty Board, in tin- ab.-enei' of rrof. E. J. Coltr.tne, who has been sick for some months past. We believe tiiat Mr. Elder is ad vancing the educational interest in the county. , By committee we examined the office of B. F. Newby, the CouDty Treasurer, aud so far as practicable to obtain,' found his records neatly and accurately kept, and consider ing the heavy expense to which the county is now being put in the erec tion of the new Court house, the fi nancial condition of the county is good. Mr. Newby reports about $5,000.00 on hand, belonging most ly to tbe school fund. We highly recommend tne coun ty Commissioners for their efforts to meet a long felt demand in the erec tion of a modern Uourt House. We visited the new Court House which is now substantially under way of construction, in a body and were im pressed with its beauty and ample. uess. uommoaious omces are pro vided for all the county oSicers, to gether with Grand Jury rooms, pri vate rooms, committee rooms anu an auditorium with a seating capacity of about six hundred. Vaults are built to protect the county records adjoining the offices of the Clerk of tbe Court and Register of deeds, and vaults are alsa being constructed in the basement in which to keep the old records. We recommend that the present wood windows and the door sash in these vaults be replaced by iron frames to prevent any possibility of damage in case of fire. We were informed that the con tracts for all material were let to the lowest bidder, and we examined some of these bids on file in the Reg ister of Deeds office, and saw noth ing irregular nor contrary to Mr. Owens' statement. The work is in charge of Mr. Owen, directly under the order of the County Commis sioners. Tbe County convicts, consisting of one it hite and ten colored men, are now worked in the construction of the Court House. Tbe teams, CDnsisting of nine mules, one having died this week from sickness, ana the wagon and tools are also being used. The convicts are fed at their kitchen erected near the lourt House, and are housed in the county jail at night, ' hey seemed to be well provided for aad stated that they could not complain of their provisions or treatment. We visited the jail and commend the jailor. Mr. Lowe for supplying the prisoners with good wholesome food, which they assured us was satisfactory. The convicts going in and out with muddy shoes and cloth ing is much against the cleanliness of the building. We do not think our present jail is satisfactory to our citizens and we recommend that the County Commissioners do not sus pend their improvements uuul taey have provided a modern jail, and that the cells be especially provided with elevated beds and every sani tary arrangement. There are three white and three colored prisoners in jail all male. One white man has been sick of rheumatism for seven or eight months pat. and totally disabled. The present jail should be repaired 'immediately to tbe ex tent of m iking the cells warmer. Some of the lights are out aud the tbuilding is otherwise open, one pris oner complained of the cold. We visited the County Home by committee and found twenty-one iu mates, ten white females, seven white males and one colored female, and three colored males are blind and one colored female is deaf aud dumb. We nod that sepante houses are piovided for the white and colored inmates, and that they are supplied with good wholesome food. Vegetables are grown on the farm and also some gram, but the faini is not self supporting. There are three cows, four hogs, one horse and wagon and some farming tool the property of the county, and a snail quantity of provisions on nana. .(Necessary provisions are purcnased monthly. We commend the steward, Mr. Delk, for doing hia best under the circumstances and we recommend that the County Com missioners do net cease their im provements nntil our County Hi me is tbe equal of any in the country. We extend our thanks to your Honor and the officers of the Court for courteous considerations re ceived. Respectfully Submitted, J. O. Reddiko, Foreman.

AFTER THE GRIPPE Tinol Restored This Man's Strength "Several years ago 1 was attacked by a severe case ot grippe, which left me with a hacking cough, soreness In my chest, and bronchitis. I took nearly every kind of cough syrup sold on the market, besides medicine given me by physicians. I received no permanent relief until my druggist asked me -to try Vinol, and after taking three bottles I waa entirely cured, I believe Vinol to be the greatest blessing ever offered to the public, aa It does what Is claimed for It." R. S K. Hicks, Maplesville, Ala. The reason Vinol cures chronic coughs, colds and pulmonary troubles Is because it contains tonio Iron and all the healing and body building ele ments ot cod liver oil but no oil. Vinol Is also unexcelled as a strength builder for old people, delicate children, weak and run-down persons, and after sickness. Vinol is sold in Asoeboro by ASHEBORO DRUG CO.
