MIR. ODOM REPLIES
MEMBER OF GRAND JURY PAYS
Respects TO Mr.. SELLERS
The Writer Charges that Conditions
We're Changed Between Time
OF Grand Jury Report And
Mr.. Sellers Visit
Mr.. Editor:

Mr.. Editor:
Will you kindly give this the same
prominence that you did an article
written by Mr.. Sam J. Sellers rela-
tive to tn" condition of the Poor
House?
The writer was chairman of the
sub-commit ee appointed by the
Foreman of the Grand Jury to in
spect the J. por House and farm. We
found como tons over there just as
we rcporte'i it, and / consider it a
crime before High Heaven that the
unfortunate who have to accent aims
from the public are forced to live
under such onditions as we found at
the Poor House ON September eth.
The official" who have charge of the
Poor House deserve the severest criti-
cism for their neglect.
We found the bedding and prem
ises disgust ngly filthy and foul. 1t
would have been impossible to clean
the bed clothes and put them in half
presentable condition. We found
other thing there that we cannot
mention in print that showed an ut
ter disregard for the health Of the
poor unfortunate inmates.
The Officials, after the report Of the
Grand Jury was. made, got busy,
bought some new bedding and did a
little cleaning up, and then invited
Mr.. Sam j. Sellers to inspect the
Poor Hou,, and give the lie
to the Grand Jury and bring their re-
port into di5credit with the public.
Mr.. Sellers according to his report
found everything just as it should be
except that few Bibles should be
given the inmates. The bed clothes
were clean and sanitary according to
him and the inmates seemed to be
content and happy, well fed and pros
porous, all of which was in direct
conflict with the report made by the
Grand Jury of Chesterfield County.
Mr.. Sellers says he was invited by
one of the County Officials to make
this inspection and he did not know
at the time the Grand Jury had made
any report. lie was out of his place.
and it does seem that a man of ord-
nary intelligence would suspect some
thing when he was asked to do as un-
usual thing as to make an inspec-
tion of the County Poor House, and
he nothing more than private cit-
zen. AS to the Official who had all
this done in order to discredit the re-
port made by the Grand Jury, the
least that can be said is that he is in
contempt of a coordinate branch of
the Court of General Sessions Of
Chesterfield County. Any report that
conditions at the Poor Hiuse were
not as the Grand Jury reported them
on September 9th is absolutely false
regardless of the source from which
it emanatcS.

Member of Grand Jury.

Home builders may be placed in two
general classes. In one class are those
who build home because they want
a place that has an exterior that
pleases them, and is arranged inside
to suit their ideas OF what a home
should be. In the other class are those
who have an eye to the future; they
build home that will be the most
easily saleable should the occasion re-
Quire. Consequently, the latter select
designs for homes that will meet the
needs of the greatest number of peo-
pie.
During the last ten years many thou
sands of frame houses have been erect
ed that have what might be termed
standard" room arrangement. These
houses contain either six or seven
rooms, all arranged after manner
that has been found to best employ the
available space From this statement
