SUPERIOR COURT
IN SESSION HERF
Judge Clayton Moore of Williams
ton Is Presiding; Announce
Two Weeks Special Civil Court
Superior court for the trial of
. criminal cases convened here yes
r terday morning, this being the
extra term of criminal court al
lowed Johnston county in addi
tion to the regular one week
term which begins next Mon
day. Judge Clayton Moore of
Williamston is the presiding
judge. This is the first time
that Judge Moore has been as
signed to hold a term of John
ston county court.
The court convened yesterday
at ten o’clock and a grand jury
was impaneled with J. E. Wood
all of the Sanders Chapel section
as foreman. The judge delivered
his charge to the grand jury
at some length. He began his
remarks by saying that hte times
through which we’re now passing
call for good citizenship to assert
itself. These are turbulent times,
especially in agricultural counties,
he stated, and in times of depres
sion there are always more viola
tors of the laws. Judge Moore in
calling attention to this condition,
high or low,, rich or poor, is above
the law. and it is the duty of the
grand jury to make proper in
vestigations of those who per
sistently break the laws. Unless
‘.violations are checked, a reign
of terror would characterize the
commonwealth.
Judge Moore asked tlu grand
jury to pass on all bills of in
dictment. “but.” here he stated.
‘ just because a man has been
indicted is no reason why the
grand jury should automatically
return a true bill. If investigation
warrants a true bill, it is the duty
of that body to make such a re
port: otherwise, it would save the
time of the court not to report a
true bill.” m
The judge further charged the
grand jury to make investigations
of the public offices of the county
and also the institutions of th:
county, including the county
home and the chain gangs. He
declared that those who have
beenput on the chain gangs are
there against their will and they
are entitled to a clean, comfort
able place to sleep and to good
wholesome food. Those in the
county home are unfortunate but
they too should be looked after
in an adequate manner. He sug
gested that committees should be
sent to these institutions whose
duty it would be to commend
where commendatin is due or of
fer constructive criticism if such
is needed.
The judge closed his charges
by remindng the grand jury that
what transpires in the grand
jury room should be kept secret.
He stated that people who testi
fy before the grand jury are en
titled to the protection of se
crecy. When the grand jur
ors take the oath the are sowrn
ors take the oath they are sworn
ever.
Just before the court recessed
at the noon hour announcemet
was made that a two weeks’ spec
ial term of civil court has been
granted for Johnston county
which will begin on March 31.
This special term immediately
precedes the two weeks' regular
term oi^ civil court.
In court yesterday afternoon
was Norman Sanders, colored man
of Smithfield. who was indicted
cigarettes and flour from the At
lantic Coast Line freight depot
here. The court sentenced the
defendant to six months in jail to
be assigned to work the roads
but judgment was suspended up
on condition that the defendant
show good behavior for a perioc
of two years.
In connection with this saint
theft. James Thomas, colored
was in court yesterday, and wa.
given a sentence of not more thai
four nor less than three years ir
the State Prison.
John Worley, white man. wa:
in court charged with manufac
luring whiskey. He was given i
term of eight months on t.hi
roads, but perhaps due to hi
physical condition, his sentenci
was suspended, provided the de
fendant does not violate the pro
hibition law for two years.
None of the cases went to th
jury.
A demonstration of new spra
materials and equipment will 1)

ber 9, for the benefit of the 01

Mr. Baker, in a Chevrolet

scratches, but it was necessary
to bring the little girl to the

not recover. However, she is now
said to be improving.
The truck which was driven by

transporting presumably to Bur
lington. His gas had given out

Live-At-Home Program: Gov

Writes Letters In Reply
KENLY. Feb. 28.—We are I
quoting below from letters writ
ten by pupils of Kenly public
school to Governor Gardner. The
first is written by a first grade1
pupil.
"We all want our papas to getj
cows so we can have lots of milk |
to drink. Most all of our mothers I
let us set a hen and we hope to
raise nice fat hens for next year.
"Our teacher gave us some
cabbage, lettuce, turnip, and oth
er seeds. Our papas let us use
enough ground to plant little gar
dens."
A pupil in the second grade
wrote: "We named twenty-five
vegetables that we can grow in
our gardens.
"We want our fathers to growl
more foodstuff at home. Ourl
mothers are going to can more'
fruit and vegetables."
Another pupil stated, "I am j
in the fourth grade and I like!
Live-atHome week', because it
teaches us to live better."
A paragraph from another let-1
ter follows: "Some of the things |
our grade has done in helping
to carry out the Live-at-Home'
program are as follows: We have!
written essays on selected topics; j
we have collected pictures of |
home grown vegetables; we have1
made posters showing helpful
things; we have collected news
paper clippings about ’Live-at
Home Week’; we have invited
our parents to attend our plan
ned program for Friday evening,
February 14. 1930; we have writ
ten poems about Live-at-Home';
we have planned a garden to
last year; we have made menus
for growing children to observe;
and we have listed tenants, home
owners, milk cows, cars, trucks,
and radios of Beulah township."
A high school group debated on
the query, Resolved: “That it is
cheaper for the farmer to raise
his food crops than it is to put
all his time and money into
money crops and buy his food on I
the markets.”
Governor Gardner's secretary.
Mr. Tyre C. Taylor, has written I
several letters in reply to letters
received from Kenly and has en
couraged us to continue to em-1
phasize the help to be gained
from living at home. From one
letter we quote: "Everything you!
do by way of getting your par- 1
ents and friends to think, talk.1
and practice living at home con- j
tributes directly to the return of
good times in North Carolina, so
don't let up in your good work."

How Kosenwald Fund Is Used
For Negro Education; Gover
nor’s Live-at-Home Idea To Be
Stressed 'Friday
RALEIGH. Mar. 3.—Friday of
this week. March 7, has been set
aside for the observance of “Ros
mwald School Day" in the Negro
Public schools of the State, it
■vas announced today at the of
fice of the State Department of
Public Instruction. The day is the
second annual Negro School Im->
provement Day, the first being
abserved on March 22nd of last
/ear. 11
As an aid in the preparation j
pf programs, the Division of j
Negro Education of the State De
partment has prepared a supple- ;
mentary bulletin which it has
sent out to the schools to be us
ed in connection with the 1929
bulletin. This supplement gives
facts pertaining to Negro Educa
tion in North Carolina, which
have been compiled since the
1929 bulletin was prepared. Some
jf this information is as follows: j
“To date there have been con
structed 750 Rosenwald buildings
in North Carolina costing $4,
387.813. Of this amount the Ros
snwad Fund has given $646,726.
and the Negroes themselves have
raised $646,616 by private sub
scriptions.
“The Rosenwald Fund appropri
ated this year $2,000 to aid as one
third the cost of 50 libraries for
schools, at $120 each. In 1928-29
twenty-five libraries were purch
ased and in 1929-30 already forty
libraries have been purchased to
date. In 1928-29 the Fund extend
ed aid for the first time on ex
tension of school terms, and 27
schools accepted this aid under
the terms offered.
“This year for the first time the
Fund is aiding in the purchase
and operation of busses for the
transportation of Negro school
children. As a result of this aid
there are now 44 busses trans
porting 1.649 Negro school child
ren in North Carolina, traveling
1.146 miles daily. The Rosenwald
Fund has contributed this year
&17.37.50 for this purpose.
“Th eRosenwald Fund has con
tributed to dat efor Negro health
and education in North Carolina
the total sum of $980,987.77.”
In addition to this review of
improvement in Negro education,
the bulletin suggests and urges
that principals include a place
pii their Rosenwald School Day
Program for a good talk on the
Governor's Live-at-Home idea.
The success of the movement,”
it says, "will help to provide more
and better Rosenwald schools.”
