I JlrSS bJICm?&5T''U"o , THE AMERICAN PRES Ayor- .u.J COMMITTEE ON 1 r.NAL INSTITUTIONS At the extraordinan f.-.on of ft legislature which adjourned last Saturday a joint conimis.-nm of the ftovse and senate was nanie.i to in vestigate penal institutions in the txte. The commission is composed af three members of the lower house Wa are I. C. Moser of A-hel.oro, W. W. Keal of Marion, am D 1'. Mc Kimmon of Rowland; tie senate snembers are senators Heat:: of Union and Giles of McDowell. The purpose of the cmnnree is to investigate the treatment of prison ers by the superintendent of the State prison and his subordinates, and also the general management of the state's penal instm.tioi:-. In ad option to this it is a part of the committee's duty to stuoy our prison systems and also the prison plans of other states and to make a report avd recommend to the next General Assembly. The recommendations hall be not only as to such changes as may seem proper in our present aystem, but also a recommendation to - , ,. ,i snaagurate a new system it, in the 8 pinion Of the committee, such a j change might be advisable. ! The committee is probably the mt fmnortant of the committees . at the extraordinary session and the members appointed were se lected on the merits of ability and experience. In view of the work to be done by the committee it is of the utmost importance that Mr. Moser be returned to the General Assembly at the November general election, where lie will be in a position to be of much service to the State in this particular matter as well as in other matters. Mr. Moser is one of the ablest and most influential members of the gen eral assembly. It is surprising how litilo people know about their own county. Until a few years ago it was surprising how little the people of the state know about North Carolina. During the past few years, however, facts about North Carolina have been placed be fore the public so often thai ue are beginning to know .something the state. Dut how many iin Randolph county know imw corn the county produces, lm.v wheat, how much tobacco, how chickens, or how many .;.,.( eggs? Could you make an in! guess?
