The pardon '1 ?.ll was introduced on re 1 ' ? 1 Cuycrnor McLean" and will he Approved. The Executive be relieved of clemency duties. o The bill to increase the .-size of the Highway commission from 9 to 27 was objected to, by Frank Page, ? "5 " s * .chairman of the commission, but was favorably reported. ? It is a special order for Tuesday moniing and Mr. Page has stated he probably will not continue' in office if it passes. It is his belief thai? the back-door poli t leans bhek home, want to get in on tho ''politicking" of the roads and lie says this will ruin the organiza tion. Sentiment here appears to be strongly with the Chairman and the measure probably will be lost. The General Assembly expressed confidence in the personal and official integrity of Secretary of State. W. XT ' Everett by passage of a joint reso lution during the evening sessions of | the two blanches Friday, The Secre tary has been subjected to criticism I On amount of the number of auto mobiles reported as having been" pur chased by his department and be cause of wliat is considered by some as an excessive salary paid the mati agerNof. the automobile bureau. The resolution, introduced in the Senate t~ ^ ??y 'ttMiators Harris and Mendenhall, passed that body without a dissent ing vote and was sent to the House by a special messenger. Similar action was taken by the Housti and the reso lution was rr.Vjvd enrolled for rat ification. It follows: "Whereas the*e have been certain attacks directly made and others by insinuation and inuemdo, ndfreting the official conduct oL' the Hon'. W. N,. Everett, Secre inry of Se:Vte; Now, therefore, be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Kepttstoitatives concurring, That this (General' Assembly expresses/its full i-onfidviiee in the high integrity, i-'n;uv.et<T and official conduct ;oi' the -lad W. X. Everett, Secretary ot' yiic. in the performance of all Ins ?i.;cial duties." v' In a special message, on Friday, . ..hiiuuicated by messenger, Govr nor McLean requested the General V i'iiibly/to enact, proper legislation it) provide for the appointment of a commission of. twelve persons, who wmild serve without pay, to make an r^tensive study of the f^tate school ystem. The (lovernor called attention o the fact that during the vast sly "eaN investments for educational ' a . iHirp^'os hgye licesi unusually heavy ind the east should be kept within 1 lie ability of the taxpayer to pay. The commission would study costs, needs and ministration of the State'.-; schools, the ?message points out, W'th a view to eliminating "overlapping efforts and expense". A bill in accord with the Governor's recommenda tion "is in the making." The House committee on Agri culture put itself on record Friday afternoon in ' favor of letting the rules of the co-operative selling association stand! The meeting was by all odds the largest experienced by any legislative committee at this session of the General Assembly. The Hi.; v.vll Bill sought to permit :iiem!n:r; oj > cooperative selling asso ciations t > withdraw by filing notice, but the <oinmittoc,'satupon"the prtJ^ posal by a vote of 23 to ll and a hi<>- crowd of farmers went home dis o ... ippointcd. No accounting, some of them were srvit/g, for the action of a legislative committee, anyhow. With only 6ne week remaining of the sixty-day limitation,'during which it may complete its work, the Gen end Assembly is expected to contin ic the recent practice of holding day and night sessions. The working members are care-warn, weaiy and homesick. Those who ? spend,' their time in a "happy-go-lucky" sort of way and follow' the leaders at vot I ing^ time are not taking very serious-J ly the constant daily grind of legis lative matter;;. Sixty days will have expired on Saturday night of the present week, but the middle of the week following may find the solons still on the job. ,The State-wide primary measure will come up this week but, if pre cedent is followed, the politicians wll choke t off. The Noirth Carolina League of Women A oters is against the Neal repeal bill and this organ ization may have betters luck in the fight to retain the primary than they rid with the Falls Australian Ballot Bill in the House hist week. The big financial measurers are yet to be enacted. These out of the wav will be the signal for an exodus of members which will -not be ei^sil.v checked. The going is likely to begin on next Monday.

GRAND JURY FAVORS COUNTY HOSPITAL In its report to the court the grand , jury recommended that- the etto&d '( floor of the new county home be utilized as a comity hospital'unfity- v' such time as better r.uarters can be provided, and until it is heedfet!'fir" the paupers. The complete report fdllotars/' "We, the Grand Jury of the Feb. term of Court 1925 after carefully examining' the- County buildings and ?' Property of Jackson County Wdd submit the following reports and suggestions: ? - > '' We have examined the Jail and " find it filled at this time with pria* ^ oners, but the jail is not in a sani- \ tary condition. The cells need ^ a thorough cleaning by using plenty of soap and water. The toilets in the cells or cage need repairing. ' Wfi would suggest as soon as possible' that the cells be given a good pain: * ing. The walls of the cell or tagt>' room be given a fresh coat of point. )"ie window gia h wl?"??h 1 ? beeti wU ? i ' tf/ ? ..here the bar., l.a e oeen oaw?,.l. ? i and prisoners escaped should pt paired with case hardened steel to prevent further escape.

"The roof on the jail needs n> iiairing as there seems to be severul eaks in it. The prisoners seem to bf . fed well and eared for. " - We find the Court House in neH of some repairs as follows; Plnst ?: nig i n Court room and other parts of the house should be fixed as it ii breaking off in several places, Wu dows should be washed, rubbf Ii sliolld be refoved and a general spring cleaning given to the Cowt House. - "The lock on the ladios' toilet accds repairing. Home repairs in the ..ich's toilet. 'v "We find the offices in thff'Cotirt He use, as c whole kept .i&^a, r nice manner. \ i. . . "The steps from th<f street leading lp to the courthouse are in deed of, ~>me repairs with cement, as a small - cost at an early date , would save a auch greater cost later. "A coal bin for use of courthodM and jail is much (heeded. "We visited the County Home and ind that Jackson County has a Home if which every citizen- should be' proud. In this home art eleven in-.' nates two of which are sick, namely larley Queen and Hattie Massev, Hattie Massey has died sinoe the report was -filed. Dying Tuesday.) One seems to be suffering frOtn tu berculosis. It is a question in ouf" inds wether this is Me W?i*r ?lace for one with this disease. We fyund the supplies on hand'for'Wi' in the home raised on the farm: 7 hams, 7 middlens, 35 gallons ' of '" syrup, 250 cans of fruits, 2001 hu. corn, several tons of hay, 2 Worses, 7 milk cows, 5 hogs, about 100 chick ins proruce sufficient eggs tat' the inmates. "The barn is in very bad MB' dition. There is great peedTfbr a tiVtr barn and crib for the CouptyFaStti There is plenty of machinery .for running the farm, but it needs clean ing up and painting to preserve ft. ' The new house which is practical}/ ' completed has 32 rooms, 24 6jf which are plastered and finished %: *; rooms on second floor are unfinished, but can be at small eost.The hbuse is wired but as yet is not ccnneGptrf ' with any electric current. We would advise connecting up with 'soflrie power company. We would advise the installing of a furnace to,'bent the house as at present it is 'heated with small stoves which are both dangerous and unsatisfactory. "Tho vard 'hmld be leveled and grassed. With some work,' this pise* can be made one of the show'ptaecs - f Jacksdw Counyt. "As Jackson County, has no 'Tospital within its bounds, we* eag re! that those unfinished room* ?jDuid be finished and converted \Mo a nuiubrr one County Hosf 'tal/ "The farmer home of t .o keeper which coiiji:,U ef 0 roo?.a could be utilized in connection t. ith it, tneie by giving 41 rooms in all. ' "We need such a )?'ace for holding clinics, and examination of all child ren^ at least twice each veer, and if operations are necessary in this maa* ler the cost could greatly be reduced o the public and by such examfcatioe the life of the coming /generation would be lengthened and a "healthier' citizenship given to the county.
