Inspecting County Jail and Farm.

To the Honorable r. A. Elkins,
Judge: We, the grand jurors elected
and impaneled at the May term of
the Obion County Circuit Court, beg
to submit the following report:
We visited the county Jail in a
body and found the Jail in good sani-
tary condition, and as far as we could
ascertain the prisoners are receiving
kind and humane treatment.
A committee consisting of five
members of our body was appointed
to visit the county poor house, who
after carefully investigating the con-
ditions report that they found the
houses and grounds in very unsani-
tary condition that they found the
interior of the buildings and the
beddings therein in a most unsatis-
factory condition in point of clean
illness and ventilation; that they also
found four inmates were occupying
one sleeping department with no
ventilation, and which was very un-
sanitary. This situation should be
relieved at once, and we recommend
that this report go to the County
Court Of Obion County for their con-
sidCratiCn.

pounds, or fifteen pounds for 81 reA
tail. Before the tariff legislation be-
gan 1t was sold here as low as 1925 per,
hundredweight. or from twenty to
twenty-five pounds for 81. Democracy
declares In season and out that the tar
If is not only tax but terrible bur-
den to all the people. How forcibleS
are their arguments being examplified
in the one item Of sugar alone. The
prime staple in every household all
over the country! There has already
been an advance Of / cent per pound
in sugar. A further advance of at
least u cent is confidently expected
by dealers when present stocks are
exhausted. Then. il the consumer gets
fourteen pounds for 81, he may con-
slider himself doing pretty well. An
advance of from 25 to 33 1-3 per cent
on this principal commodity in the
household imposes burden of almost
incalculable magnitude on all the peo-
pie. Under the new dispensation the
millionaire may be enabled to buy dia-
mond studs at less money than for
merly. and his fine imported dress will
not draw quite so heavily upon his re-
serve fund. but the labofer, the man
who tolls for 81 or S1.50 day. can
only buy two-thirds or three fourths
as much sugar for his hard earned
dollar as in times past. Verify. these
are the good old democratic days OF
which we have all read about.
