Report of the Grand Jury.

Last Friday afternoon the re-
port of the grand jury was sub
mitted to the court, and the jury
was discharged for the term.
The report was as follows:
REPORT ON PRISONS.
State of North Carolina,
Durham County, Dec. term,
1908.
The grand jury has visited and
inspected the county Jail and city
prison and find both in good con-
dition and the prisoners as COM
Portable as the crowded state of
the Jail would allow.
NO JURY LIST KEPT.
The grand jury has visited the
registers office and find no jury
list is kept; otherwise we find no
irregularities as to providing jur-
ors in the county.
HOME AND CONVICT CAMP.
The grand jury has visited the
county home and convict camp
and find everything in good con-
dition at said camp. The county
home we find in fairly good con-
dition, except as to some of the
colored insane whose comfort
should be better looked after.
We find amongst the white in
sane one Laura Williams whose
right to be there we question.
EXCELLENT SCHOOL.
The grand jury has visited the
Morehead school in the city of
Durham and take great pleasure
in reporting the most excellent
condition of said school in every
department, and one, well worthy
of emulation.

parently, during their three-day stay, over

when they finished that last meal-it was a

their hands the women as we'll as the men,

felt like dented dimes in a national bank.

sary in order to guard the books and that
in nearly all cases some form of punishment
would be wiser than pardon. In many cases
of detected theft strong appeals are made
by the cuIprit or his friends to save ex-
posture by public proceedings. These appeals
are commonly made not so much TO avoid
having fines imposed by law as to avoid the
disgrace attached to publicity. 1t is prob
