rhe Use of Photographic Records Re-
commended by Philadelphia
Man.

Philadelphla.-Dr George M. Gould,
of this city, proposes that a recently in
vented device. amounting to an i'm
proved talking machine, shall be used
for the better instruction of the blind.
to the exclusion of Braille and all other
forms Of raised letters. DR.. Gould is a
leading ophthalmoloeist In paper
written for scientific study. he discusses
the telegraphone. invented by Mr.. Poul-
sen, a Danish engineer. and pronounces
It ideal for the instruction Of those who
can hear but cannot see.
The telegraDhone is really form or
photograph, being designed primarily
to record telephone messages In the abb
sence OF the person for whom they are
intended. The records thus made can
be used over and over again. In many
respects the idea of Dr. Gould Is merely
an extension of a practice already in
vogue, for photographs are now used
for certain kinds of instruction, as we'll
as for entertainment.

Ia the Circuit Court, August Term,
A D. 1906
70 the Hon. " II, Hardy, Judge
OF the End Circuit court judicial dis
trict OF the state OF MiSsissipp!:
We, your grand jury for this term
OF this court beg leave to submit this
as our final report:
We have been in session five days,
and have examined 116 witnesses and
have returned 80 indictments.
We have examined the cases of
David Land and Joe Cherry who are
now in jail and have continued these
cases on account of not being able to
get the Witnesses; we rGcOmend that
this be taken up by the next grand
jury.
We have examined the county Jail
and find that the sanitary condition
OF same is very bad, and around the
new jail, fence should be erected,
so that people cannot come into such
close contract with prisoners therein.
| We recommend that the Board of
Supervisors shall immediately take
p 'oper and suitable steps towards
getting the sewerage system of the
jail in better fix, and that in the
event Board of Supervisors are dila-
tory in this matter, that the next
grand jury indiet them for failure to
do so.
We have examined contract sys-
tenn of the county, and find that the
convicts are treated not as convicts,
but as free citizens, and are allowed
to do almost anything they please.
We condemn this policy of working
|conyicts and recommend to the
Board of Supervisors that the con
tract now existing between contract
or and board be cancelled and some
other plan devised for working them,
or new contract with new parties
be entered into.
In conclusion we desire to thank
your honor for the splendid charge
given us, greatly aided us in the
| discharge Of our duties.
We also desire to thank the officers
of the court for the assistance render
ed us, while we have been in session.
And now having concluded our la
bors, we ask that this final report be
received, and we your grand jury, be
discharged:
