In Report By Grand Jury Last Week
Courtroom Changes
Recommended; Bonds
For Officers Listed
The grand jury serving at last
week’s term of Superior court in
Carthage, with C. H. Bowman of
Southern Pines as foreman, found
unsatisfactory conditions at three
jails in the course of their inspec
tion of public buildings.
The report lists the county jail
at Carthage, the Pinehurst jail
and the Aberdeen jail as all need
ing various improvements.
The complete grand jury report
follows:
To Honorable J. C. Rudisill, Judge
Presiding.
We, the Grand Jury selected for
August Term of Superior Court
submit the following report.
After careful consideration, we
found 7 true bills, 4 not true bills,
and continued three bills for lack
of sufficient witness.
We examined the surety bonds
for County officers and found the
following: James W. Tufts, $5,000;
Guy McNeill, $300; Ralph G.
Steed and James F. Steed, $1,000;
Bernice Cameron. $1,000; Garner
Maness, $300; John Kenneth
Sharpe, $300; Coy Rudolph Frye,
$200; Jerry V. Healy, $5,000; L. L,
Marion, $5,000; Mrs. Bessie J.
Griffin, $5,000; Miss Maida Jen
kins, $10,000; Charlie McDonald,
$2,000; William T. Huntley, $10,-
000; C. C. Kennedy, $20,000.
Also $50,000 in Government
Bonds securing the bank account
of the clerk of court.
All Reports of guardians, ad'
mihistrators, executors and Jus
tice of Peace were reported by the
assistant clerk of court as being
filed up to date and otherwise in
perfect order.
In general, we found the court
house in good condition. However
recommendations are made for
Venetion blinds for all offices or
certainly new shades. We found
all offices poorly lighted with the
exception of the Auditors office
and strongly recommend a new
lighting systerfl of all offices.
There are no drinking water
facilities in the basement or the
third floor, and think that both
floors should be provided with
some.
A leaky pipe in the Farmer’s
Home Administration Office
should be fixed and a spot in the
ceiling of this office where the
plastering has fallen down should
be fixed.
The floor in the men’s rest room
could be kept cleaner. Covering
for steam pipes in boiler room
needed.
County Home: Was found to be
in fair condition.
County Jail: Was found to be
in bad condition. Four bunks
were found broken down. Walls
are in bad shape. Floors and walls
should be painted. New mattress
es and covers are needed. Blank-

Hobson Johnson of Newport
News, Va., died Tuesday at a
hospital there after a short illness,
it, was learned this week.
He is survived by his wife, the
former Daisy Michael of Southern
Pines, and one daughter, Bobbie
Michael Johnson, of the home.
Funeral and burial were to be

Pinehurst Jail: Poor condition
Interior including windows need
cleaning and painting. Commode
unsanitary.
Robbins Jail; Good condition.
Aberdeen Jail; Bedding dirty
and needs cleaning. Floors in bad
shape insect infestation. Should
be cleaned and painted. All but
one commode are not in working
condition. This should be correct
ed. Ventilation consists of one
barred window to each cell. Water
fountains dirty, need cleaning;
no lights on inside—one single
light installed on outside over
walkway.
School buildings: These were
not insepcted at this time as most
of them are locked up and could
not be entered at this time of the
year. However, Mr. H. Lee
Thomas, County School Superin
tendent told the Grand Jury that
the Schools were now in better
condition than ever before. Most
of the previous recommendations
had been made. They were mak
ing improvements as fast as pos-
Inspection is recommended at
the January term of Court.
School buses; Were found to be
iii good condition. All motors
have been over-hauled and out
