Judge Harris Backs Up
Grand Jury Criticisms
Of School Bus Hauling
Jury Reports High "a P upils Riding in One Bus at
Time New Jail Recomm ended, Also Full Time Po-
lice Officers for North and South Henderson

Transportation facilities in the
Vance county schools were denounced
in, the report of the grand jury to
Judge w. G. Harris in Vance Superior
Court in it's report read in open court
today, and the court added his own
severe criticism of the conditions.
The grand jury reported it found
single buses carrying as high as 70
and IA pupils, with overcrowded con-
ditions in general and said most of
the buses were improperly equipped
or otherwise not in good condition.
A "disgraceful condition at the
county Jail" was reported, with the
recommendation that a new Jail be
built Immediately, and ga condition
of lawlessness" was reported at both
North Henderson and South Hender-
son, with the recommendation that
a full-time police officer be employ
ed for both sections of the city i'm
mediately, and that these officers be
responsible to the county commits
Cioners.
At the Jail, the report said that "in
one cell, made to accommodate four
prisoners, there is confined one
violently crazy man, with thirteen
other prisoners, necessitating their
sleeping on the floor" The women's
cell was reported so over-crowded
that part of the prisoners have to
sleep in the hall, and one woman has
to sleep with a crazy woman. The
jailor was absolved Of blame, and was
said to be doing his duty the best he
could.
Judge Harris said of the bus con-
ditions that if he were a parent on
one of the school bus routes with so
deplorably insufficient bus facilities
he would refuse to permit his child
to ride in one of the buses, and that
he would rather first undertake to
educate the child with his own educa-
tional limitations. He said one way
to get results was for the patrons of
the school to refuse to send their chill
dren to school in any such manner,
and that he did not believe anything
could be done about it. He called for
six copies of the report of the grand
jury and promised results.
The full report of the grand jury
as read to the court, and as signed
by M. j. O'Neil as foreman, follows:

EXTRA TERM COURT
FOR VANCE LIKELY
Jail Cases Remain Untouch-
ed as Criminal Court
Nears Its Close
AND JAIL is CROWDED
Homicide Cases This Week Take SO
Much Time Others Are Crowd
ed Out of Session and
Cannot be Reached
AND JAIL is CROWDED

An extra term of Vance Superior
Court for trial of criminal cases loom
ed today as the regular October term
neared it's close tomorrow by statute
with number of Jail cases untouched
Lengthy hearings in homicide cases
this week have crowded other trials
off the boards for the term, making
it necessary some court officials
thought, for an extra term to be call
ed to dispose of these without keep
ing defendants in Jail until the jan
uary term before receiving hearing
If an extra term were ordered, it
would be the first to be held in this
county in many years, and it would
be necessitated at this time by the
congestion of the criminal docket.
Such a term would have to be or
dered by Governor Ehringhaus and
he would be required to designate a
presiding judge. It would have to be
at a time when Solicitor w. H. S
Burgwyn would have an open week
so that he could be here for prose
cutting the docket.
All jurors and witnesses summon
ed for this weeks session have been
discharged for the term, except those
involved in the Ruby Wilder Filing
ton case, now being tried, it being
assumed that this will take up all OF
today's session and most of Saturday
Tuck Wheeler, who Thursday aft
ernoon was sentenced to not less than
25 and not more than 80 years in
State Prison for the killing of Mel
vim Hendley, was taken to States
Prison today to start his term. He
did not appeal.

Has Over 300 Lead With
One Precinct. Out;
Other Races

On the basis of unofficial re-
turns from 10 of Henderson ceuH-
tvs 20 precints, with only Raven
Rock precinct not accounted for,
Clyde R. Hoey, Shelby attorney,
carried Henderson county in his
race for the Democratic guberna-

1925; Graham 1923; and Melon
aid 691. John McRae, of Char
lotte, polled only IA votes.
The close race anticipated be-
tween Hoey and Mcdonald failed
to materialize and on the basis Of
last minute predictions, Graham
ran a better race than was expect
ed. Some observers had predicted
that Graham would carry this
county, but on Saturday Graham
headquarters frankly admitted
that there was little chance for
their candidate.
Hoey carried IL of the 10 pre-
cincts reporting and Graham car
ried seven, including the four
Hendersonville precincts, HoOpers
Creek, Crab Creek and South
Blue Ridge. In Rugby precinct
the vote was 20 for Hoey and 10
for Graham.
In the Democratic senatorial
primary, Senator J. w. Bailey
gained clear majority Of the
votes cast in Henderson county
over Richard T. Fountain, VIM.
H. Griffin and David L. Strain.

cept North Blue Ridge, which
went to Fountain. The vote was

RAIN FALLS IN
DROUGHT AREA
But Scattered Showers Give
Only Partial Help in
Southeast

ATLANTA, June 8. (UP).--
Scattered showers from Virginia,
through Georgia and Tennessee,
brought relief to the drought
stricken farmers in widely sepa-
rated areas Sunday but the south
east remained generally parched
under whitening sun. 1t has now
been more than sixty days since
there has been general rains in
the southeastern area.
George w. Mindling, Atlanta
meteorologist, said that a low
pressure area is moving over the
western states and Canada. This,
he said, held out hope of con-
tinued showers but he said that if
general rains developed the north
ern states would probably benefit
most.
Meantime, farmers led by the
governors of two states, met IN
Georgia and South Carolina for
mass prayer meetings to petition
for rain.
