GRAfJD JURY SAYS T camp; ISVEfiY DIRTY Find Sleeping Quarters In Un sanitary Condition THE MATRESSES WERE FILTHY Some of The Prisoners Say Have Been Cruelly Whipped They Compbting their work, the Grand Jury for the present term of Superior Court of Craven County, were yes terday discharged. The following report was made to Judge Daniels and was commended We, your Grand Jury, beg to make the following report. We- have passed on twenty eight (28) Bills of the indictment, with the following results: We have found twenty four (24) True Bills and four (4) Not True Bills. We visited the office of the Register of Deeds, and found the records neatly kept, and in a business like man ner. The office has a very neat and clean appearence. We visited the office of the Clerk of the Superior Court and found all the records kept in a business like way as far as the facilities of the office will permit, as his office is inadequate for his work. We visited the Sheriff's office and found everything in a good condition and the books kept in a neat manner. We understand that in some of the County'j bffices at times, profane language is used. We should recom mend that this be stopped at once. We visited the County Jail, and made a thorough investigation. We found it kept in good and sanitary condition, and the .prisoners treated in a humane way. We found one of the prisoners, Sam Brown, in a bad condi tion, physically, and recommended that he be pardoned. We visited the County Home, and made a thorough investigation of the affairis of this institution, and find the dwellings in good condition, the prem ises well kept, and the imnates care fully and kindly looked after and fed We commend Mrs. Williams, the keep er, for her untiring efforts in making and keeping this institution for our poor, second to none in the State. " ; We visited the Convict Camps, a)d found twenty-seven (27) convicts. We learn that they are well fed. We care fully examined their sleeping quarters and, found them very dirty, and in an unsanitary condition. We found piec es of bread and meat lying around, and old cans, rags, under the bunks. The ffoor was dirty, and the matresses were in a very filthy condition, and some badly torn. We recommend that this condition be made sanitary at once. We find that one way of punishment is whipping, and that some ot the prisoners say they have been cruellv whipped. We recommend that if pun ishment becomes necessary, that it be done in a humane manner. We find after inspecting- the roads and bridges, that most of them are in good cbnditlon. We recommend that the crossing of the A. C. L. Railroad J just across beyond Ghent, be reported to the Railroad officials, and that it be fixed at once, as it is dangerous as it is, at the present time. ' We alsfe recom mend that something be done on the Fowler road, as it-is almost impassable now. t ..--,. We have .examined the reoprt .of R. B. "Lane, J. P., and find sam? correct . We have taken into serious consid eration, . the matter of enlarging the Court: House, which has been agitated bv . several orevious Grand furies. and find, that, to enlarge the Court House, as recommended by these bodies, it would put the County to the expense of about f forty of fifty thousand dol lars . ($40,000,00 or 150,000,00) whereas there- could be dertain alterations and changes made Jri the Court House, a it- is at the present time; which would answer the same purpose as building aw addition, and-at the same time not cause the "county' an expenditure .of qver Ten -Thousand ($lt),000) Dollars We 'therefore recommend.' that ' the following, changes" be made:' - That the present offices of the Regis ter of Deeds, and the Clerk of the Sup erior- Court, be converted. .: into, hre proof vaults, and. fit the new vaults with steel cases, make' the anti-room on the South side of the Register of Deeds office into a private office for mar THE COURT-HOUSE TO Changes will Cost About Ten Thou sand Dollars TWO FIRE PROOF VAULTS New Offices To Be Arranged For Register Of Deeds And Clerk Of Court The plans of enlarging the Court House as formulated by C. D. Brad ham, chairman of the Board of Commi ssioners, were yesterday incorporated in the Grand Jury's report by that body and will be found in another column of the Journal this morning. It can be s.en from this that Craven county has been saved forty thousand dollars in making this addition and those who are familiar with the plans, feel assured that they will prove of more realworth than if an addition had been added to the Court House. Plans and specifications for this work are to be drawn up at once and the ac tual work is to begin within a short time and will be rushed to comple tion as rapidly as possible. It is the intention of the Commis sioners to take the present offices of the Register of Deeds and the Clerk of the Court and to convert them into fire-proof vaults. When this is done it will be necessary that the Register of Deeds and also the Clerk be provided with an additional office room and this has been provided for. The Register of Deeds will have his office in the room located between his present office and the Commis sioners room and the Clerk will have a private office in what is now the East hall. In addition to this both the Register of Deeds and the Clerk will have offices inside of the vaults. The recommendations made by the Grand Jury in regard to these impro vements were heartily ommended by Judge Daniels and those who are fami liar with them are also heartily in favor of such a plan being followed out. WALTER iINIG NOT , Slimy sirs jury RETURNED VERDICT AT 10 O' CLOCK LAST MIGHT TWO GUILTY After boing out for nearly five hours the jury in the case Of the State vs Walter Bunting, charged with being an accessory in the murder of Toby Rouse at Dover several weeks ago, at 10 o' clock returned a verdict of not guilty. Henry Venters, Corrina Bunting and Walter Bunting, charged with killing Rouse, a colored man, were placed on trial yesterday morning. Henry Venters and Corrina Bunting entered a plea of guilty on a charge of manslaughter but no sentence has : yet been passed upon them. A. D. Ward, represented Walter . Bunting and he put up aS. fight to ' prove his innocence. The murder of . Rouse was a brutal one, the victim having been beaten and cut to death'.: while returning from a negro festival, and much interest has been manifes ted in the cae. the Register of Deeds, and make the hall on the South side of the Clerk's office, into , a private office for the Clerk of the Court, make a room, in the bajement, on each side of the building, 20 ft. by 40 ft., with concrete floors, for waiting rooms, toilets and lavatory, for white women, and white, men, respectively, and make an en trance to these rooms underneath the stairway on each i side of the hall; the, present toilets in the yeards to be Uted by colored people. " - We believe that the above changes and alterations will answer . in every way the same-purposes as enlargement of the Court House, and at the same . time save the county about Forty Thou sand ($40,000.00) Dollars. . . :" .: 1 , We ; recommend that ' the above changes- and'- alterations be made as : soon as practicale. . v! -y - - . We also recommend that a new flag be placed: on top of the Court House. , i ; ' , Respectfully, ' . V E' L" Mal,ar ' s ' ' " 'i ' ' Foreman. ' ' T.' J. Mitchell Jr. CI '. IMHIUIEI BEGIN soon
