DRAW Z MONTH
GRAND JURY IN.
COURT TODAY.
Judge Johnston Charges
Body as March Criminal
Term Opens
CALLS FOR REPORT ON
MAGISTRATE COURTS

The March term OF the Hcnder-
son county superior court con-
vened this morning with Judge A.
Hall Johnston, of Ashcvillc, pre-
siding, and Solicitor c. o. Rid
ings, of Rutherfordton, represent
ing the state. The court will be
in session for two weeks and will
hear criminal actions.
A grand jury to serve for ~
months was drawn this morning
and is as follows: Zeb Pittillo,
foreman, Howard Hayes, J. B.
Hudson, c. j. Jaynes, Andy c..
McMinn, Delno Mccall, r. E.
LYDIA, Noah Hollowell, A. g. Will
iiams, X. S. Gibbs, ST., w. p. Su-
Der, Homer Whitesides, w. G..
Kuykcndall, William 7. C.. Searcy,
NJ. L. Carlanc, F. G. Parker, l..
NJ. Ward and J. F. Baldwin.
In his charge to the grand jury,
Judge Johnston first explained
the duties of the body under the
law and the origin of the system.
He stressed the provision of the
Law relative to presentments by
the grand jury, especially in a
body serving for ~ months. Con-
tinuOuS violations of the law cam
not pass unnoticed by the grand
Jury as the body represents men
from almost every section of the
county, he said.
He also stressed the obligations
of the body relative to wards, de-
claring that it was the duty Of
the grand jury to make present
ments Of any orphan children
known to be without guardians,
OF Of any guardians known to be
mistreating orphan children or
mismanaging their estates. He
urged the body to inquire partic-
ularly into the nature of guardian
bonds.
Declaring that there is nothing
worse than the dissipation of or
phans' funds by guardians, he de-
clared that guardians could be
punished, but that orphans would
not be helped by this punishment.
1t is better to see that there are
good bonds, he said.
He urged the jury to examine
magistrates reports, which ne
said were made for two reasons:
first, to make sure fines and for
FIXTURES were turned in, and, sec
ond, to see that magistrates were
not trying cases out of their Jur-
isdiction. .,
Judge Johnston declared that
he did not know how it was IN
this county, but that in Buncombe
there were magistrates who would
try a man for murder or anything
else if they got their fees. :,
al have been after them there,
he said, land if you have any like
that in Henderson county we Will
try them awhile"
Zeb Fitzpatrick was sworn IN as
the grand jury officer and the
grand jury retired to consider
bills of indictment presented Dy
the solicitor.

CASE OF MEASLES
 REPORTED TODAY
Health Officer Believes All Not Being Brought to
 Light Here

While only one new case of measles was reported to Dr. Edward J. Godfrey, city health officer, to- day, that by mother of child living in the East End, the health department is of the opinion that not all of the cases are being re- ported.
 It was urged that reports be made so that the children with the ail- ment may be kept from school for the requisite two weeks. Other chil- dren in classrooms where one or more pupils have measles will not be sent home.
 The departmnet ofiicials feel that 1t is better procedure to check on the children in the schools and health nurses are making constant inspections for indications of the ailment. The total number of cases of measles reported to the health de- partment this month is IS.
 Waterbury reported three cases of whooping cough to the state health department last week, one case of lobar pneumonia, one scarlet fever, no diphtheria and no typhoid. In- cidence of measles and whooping cough doubled in the state.

they would claim refunds from the city which are estimated to run into between $l8,000 and $20,000 over the 20-year period of the charge schedule. Inasmuch as these bills" are running accounts, there is no application of the statute regarding outlawing of claims in six years. they averred today.
 Other attorneys today questioned which of their profession, according to The Republican, had "scoffed at a report in The Democrat that local lawyers would be able to get refunds from the city for city court fees which they may have paid in amounts larger than necessary"
 Whole cloth" said a prominent member of the Waterbury Bar As- sociation of the Republican report. They're just trying to cover up the controllers and their own ridiculous two-role drama from the controllers office which might have been en- titled: Controller Charges Lawyers Owe Thousands; Lawyers Prove Controller Should Pull in Neck; Claim Many Thousands Due for Error in Charges by City Court"

 So far as laying claim to the ex- cess at the time of presentation Of bills from the city court, the lawyers commented that the incorrect fee schedule has been in vogue for % years and that a majority of those on MT.

WAYS TO PREVENT
 COLDS ANNOUNCED
Health Department Lists Precautions Not to Be
 Taken Lightly

The common cold is not to be taken lightly says the State Depart ment of Health in its weekly bulle- tin for 1t lowers the resistance of the body and makes it susceptible to more serious disease such as the pneumonias, and it may open the way to such complications as sinu- sitis, mastoiditis, meningitis and middle ear infections.
 The common cold, which occurs most frequently from September to March, is an infectious disease and one may have the onset a few hours after exposure. The germs are pres- ent in the secretions from the nose and throat and are transferred to other persons by such acts as coughing, sneezing, kissing, shaking hands or handling objects with which persons come in contact. Persons suffering from this disease should be made to understand that they are 6 potential menace to all with whom they come in contact.
 One attack of most contagious diseases confers lasting immunity upon the individual against future attacks. Such is not the case with the common cold. Immunity IS very brief and the first attack appar- ently leaves the individual more susceptible to future attacks.
 The common cold IS largely a preyentable disease. Generally speaking there are two main at tacks against colds: avoiding expos ure to the disease and forming health habits that will keep the body resistance at the maximum.
 It is well to observe the follow
 in rules:
 Avoide crowds and persons who are i'll during the "cold" season. Avoid overloaded rooms, too much clothing and sudden changes of temperature. .
 Form proper health habits of eating, sleeping, exercise ana recreation so that the resistance Of
 the body may be kept at its maximum.
 When you have a cold stay at home. It lessens the chance of serious complications and protects others. Call doctor if indicated. Be examoined by your doctor | if you have frequent colds to De sure that you have no abnormal
 ities of the upper respiratory tract. Keep your hands scrupulously
 clean. It is unclean to cough or sneeze in your bare hand for izl-
 fected material leTt there may be given to others.
