REpoRT OF COMMITTEE

We, r. B. Eskridge, X. Doran,
Hoover Odom and G. w. Ward.
four members Of the grand jury,
who were appointed by It's foreman,
J. b. Duvall, to inspect the county
farm, beg leave to report the fol-
lowing:
We made the inspection in the
forenoon of July 10, and found
twelve inmates, of whom eight
were women, all seemed to be well
pleased and well kept. We found
S. ]. Spencer in charge of the farm
and Mrs. Spencer looking after the
old people in person. Mr.. aud Mrs.
Spencer seem to know how TO han,
die the old people and care for them
as though they were real people of
their own flesh and bone.
We find the house well kept in
every respect, both the inmate home
and the family home Of Mr.. Spencer.
We find plenty Of chickens, two
COWS and calves that belong TO Mr..
Spencer, eight head of nice hogs
that belong to the county, but are
being kept by Mr.. Spencer at his
own cost for half profit.
We find some of the incest wire
fence we ever saw in the county
or anywhere else. We find all the
thIckets have been removed from
the field on the south side of the
road, new fence on the east end of
the farm, and in general well kept,
showing some real interest had been
taken in the work.
We are well pleased with every
thing we saw on the farm pertaIn-
ing to ITS upkeep. We respectful.
" recommend that the roof on the
inmates building be repaired and as
soon as financial conditions will
permit, to have the inmate building
eeiled with pine lumber and painted
on the inside.
We especially want to commend
County Judge G. K. Pungle and
County Agents Mr., and Mrs. Kizer
for their work and cooperation
with the farm work and farm man
agement. We would like to see
the farm stocked up with plenty of
good mllch COWS to supply the in-
mates with plenty of good milk and
butter. We would like very much
to see the farm kept IN a tidy con.
dition. In fact we want the farm
beautifed in so much as it will be
profitable for the inmates and the
county. +. b. Eskridge,

Grain, Flour and Feed.
Wheat-While the wheat market is
in a comatose condition normally at
the season, a further impediment to
operations has been imposed by the
waterfront strike on the coast, which
not only prevents the movement of
any outward shipments, but has shut
off exports of flour and curtailed oper-
ations on the part of the mills. Spot
quotations are lower, bluestem being
down to S5c, with club at TIC. There
has been a trifle more strength to the
general situation during the past few
days, due to an advance in Paris, and
the usual speculative influences result
ant from the possibilities of war, but
the general weakening of values has
maintained during the past week.
Flour-Market conditions are I'M
changed on local patents. Export mills
have been forced to shut down in some
instances, owing to the strike situa-
ton, while outward shipments by wa
ter from the coast have ceased. Hard

STOUT
DIES AT PARK
Horse which Put Up Game
Fight in Big Race,
SuCCumbS.

PARKERSBURG, August 19.--Major
Stout, the chestnut stallion, owned and
driven by Sheriff Stout, of Clarksburg,
which gave Baroness Todd such a hard
fight in the 2:25 trot Friday after
noon after Brampton Maid had been
eliminated from the race, following
the accident which resulted from the
swallowing OF her tongue, died at
Shattuck park Friday night, shortly
after 8 o'clock. 1t is presumed that
the excessive heat Of the day and the
length OF the race were the principal
causes of his death.
The horse was taken Ill about 8
O'Clock at night and within short
time it was found that his condition
was serious and Dr.. Williamson was
called, arriving at 9:15. At that time
the condition Of the stallion was such
that he could not be saved, Dr. Will
hanson stating that he was then dy-
ing, and within about fifteen minutes
he dropped in his stall and died.
1t was learned from some Of the
horscmen here, attending the fair.
and who had not left Friday night that
many fatalities have been reported
from the race tracks this year OF a
similar nature, and that most Of them
have been attributed to the heat 1t
was stated that at the recent meet
ing at Wellston two had died and also
that one had died at the Pennsboro
fair, while "a number Of others have
been reported at various places on the
grand circuit and the Lake Erie cir
cult as well as at the smaller county
fairs
In the middle Of the hard race with
Baroness Todd Friday afternoon the
Stout horse suddenly quit after lead
ing part Of the way round and It was
then thought something was the mat
ter with him.
Stout Brothers valued Major Stout
at $500. They bought him when
a warIing from Robert Wilson'S
sprucelawn farm near Springfield,

was the noted Nutwood Wilkes

APPEAL TO SHIPPERS
MADE BY COMMISSION
To cooperate in Movement to
Prevent the Threatened
Car Shortage,

Below is given notice recently is
sued by George b. McGintE secretary
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. 1t is hoped that the shippers
of this territory will do everything
possible to bring about prompt I'M
loading and help to avert disastrous
car shortage.
Reports are being received by the
commission indicating that n car
shortage" is again threatened, caused
in part by the heavy movements Of
grain at this season Of the year.
The commission, therefore. takes
this opportunity of again bringing to
the attention of the carriers and ship
peers the necessity for close supervls-
ion Of the methods Of Bading, I'M
loading and moving of cars so as to
secure the fullest possible use OF
available, equipment.
Shippers should endeavOr to secure
the prompt and full loading of cars.
and consignces their prompt unload
ing and release.
The commission feels justified in
urging upon shippers anu CouSlsheeS
that they shall not use cars for stor-
age purposes but should ondeavor to
release them as promptly as posi-
BILE and not avail themselves of the
full limit Of free time provided by
the tariffs.
Carriers should also make every
endeavor to eliminate delays and eX-
pedite the movements of shipments.
Cars should be promptly returned to
their home line, company material
promptly unloaded, and close super
vision given to operations at termin-
ais.
Individual shippers and their as
sociations and the carriers should CO.
operate in order that the delays and
losses consequent TO a shortage OF
cars may, so far as possible, be avoid
ed.
