THE COMMONWEALTH. Publiehed Every Thursday BY J. C. HABDY, Editor and Proprietor. Well Known Old Soldier With Brilliant Record Dies In Virginia. Entered at the postoffice at Scotland Neck, N. C, as Second-Class Matter. Thursday, August 28, 1913. The Raleight papers were certain ly afraid of that good roads bond issue. Harry K. Thaw is still being held as prisoner in Canada and the latest report is to the effect that he will be given a hearing sometime this week! The report comes from Raleigh that the receipts for automobile li during the months of June and July amounted to over $46,000 KxRPtlv 9.573 numbers were issued by the Secretary of State. The legislature will meet in called session on "the 24th of September. The first business to b considered will be the freight rate question and then the amendments to the State Constitution that will be submitted by the legislative committee. With one Raleigh paper saying nothing and the other one sitting squarely on the fence, it strikes us as being remarkable that the advo rntos wpre even able to hold the road bond election. The proposi tion to issue bonds for road improve ment was voted down by a large majority. Report ot The Grand Jury; We, the grand jurors for the Au gust term of Halifax superior court beg to make our report for the said term, -to-wit: We have duly passed upon ana made reDort of all matters com ng before us. We have examined the county jai and find conditions bad, tut can see but little remedy under existing cir cumstances. We would recommend more proficient cleaning. While we are averse to the extravagant ex penditure of the county funds we think that the present building is unfit for the purpose and would recommend a more suitable building We fincUthe court house in fair condition some painting and plast ering should be looked after and the closets be given more attention. We find the offices of the dark of the court and register of deeds in ex eel lent condition. We find the county home build ings sadly in need of repairs plas tering needed, porches in front o some of the houses about to fall We were told that some of the roofs leak. We also noticed the need o some comfortable chairs. As to sanitary conditions we think it is about as good as can be under the circumstances. As to the convict camp would say that seems to be alright. We have no criticisms to make. Sanitary conditions seem to be as good as can be under the circumstances. We did not see the convicts for the rea son they were out on the road, but the team, etc., around the camp ap peared to be well cared for and in good condition. Respectfully submitted, G. S. White, Foreman Grand Jury. Oak City Locals. CAPTAIN CHARLES F.
