Tells of the County Poor House
 and Jail
THE GRAND JURYS REPORT
The Doctor Says That Without Ex- planatlon the Report ls Misleading. New Wards for Purpose of Sep
 aratIna Infectious Cases

Dr. J. D. Heacock, one of the county physicians, and a man who often visits the county poorhouse. was asked yester- day if the insane patients were not all sent to the asylum in Tuscaloosa. He re- piled that all went there wno could be accepted, but that those pronounced in- curable would not be taken. In regard to the condition of the poorhouse, Dr. Heacock stated 1t was in good condi- tion and was neatly kept. When seen last night, Dr. Heacock said:
 Misleading.
 s.The recommendations submitted by the retiring grand jury in their report as published in the Age-Herald, in the light of criticism, without explanation, is misleading This is more particularly the case with reference to the aims house and county jail.
 'At the time of their visit to the county farm four new wards or dormitories were in course of erection for the purpose of separating infectious and contagious cases. This necessitated a crowding of the inmates most of whom are of care less and filthy habit; hence the appear ance of untidiness at that particular time.
 Separate Apartments.
 The board of revenue during the last two or three years have installed water works and supplied new buildings. so that the whites and colored are in en- tirely separate apartments. new brick building has also been built for the idiotic, unmanageable and insane.
 '.As regards the insane department, none are retained therein except those that are refused by Dr. Searcey. It Is claimed that the state law does not pro vide for the reception of intractible and incurable cases Into the Bruce Insane hospital. Each county is left to take care of it's own.
 By the way. it seems to be fact that Jefferson has more of this class of cases, as we'll as paupers, than any other coun- ty in the state.
 ''The average number of inmates at the aims house is sixty-four, most of whom are sick or demented. When 1t Is known that this number are taken care of at the paltry expense of $6 per capita per month, with only two trained nurses, little variation from the regulation hos pital cleanliness can easily be overlooked.
 Inspect County JalI.
 ''In respect to the overhauling and cleaning up of the old part of the county jail, I will say that such had been con templated by the board of revenue for several months awaiting an opportune time and the requisite funds. It is now in use and in fine sanitary condition. The prisoners get a mixed diet and vege- tables about three times week and are in good health"
