Mc^rc_ We, the grand jury, beg leave to "ubmit the following report: Wehave carefully examined all bills of indictment sent for our consideration, and have continued such as could not be justly reported on owing to the lack of of witnesses: We have visited all of the public schools of Waynesville; Clyde and Canton, and find the buildings in good condition, except the old building of the Waynesville Graded school, which needs some minor repairs. The furnace in the main building needs some repairs, and fire escape should be painted. We visited the county chain gang, and found everything satisfactory, cept sanitary conditions, which are bad and we recommend that same be remedied at once. We visited the jail and found condi tions there as good as could be expected. Owing to the low water pressure sanitary conditions are not the very best, but, not dangerous to the health of the occupants. What we need, is a new jail. We visited the various county offices and found them all in first class condition. No recommendations to make. We suggest that the Register of D.eds At first glance Mr. Hughes might be taken as a man who has chosen aa :inny career. Be not deceived, how- over. The uniform only signifies the patriotism of Rupert Hughes, who •served as a captain in the Intelligence department of the government during the war. It might be added that he is also a veteran of the Spanish-American war, enlisting as a private and coming out as a captain. But Rupert Hughes' chief claim to fame is as a writer of fiction and plays, being the author of some 20 odd books and a dozen plays. His stories have won for him a place among the most popular and successful writers of the day. One of the best of his stories 18 "The Thirteenth Commandment.* remarkably entertaining tale of modern life.

Prominent amon? the advantages of community interest in better poultry are; concentration of effort on one variety, opportunities for collective marketing, economy in buying and selling breeding stock, and increased skill in poultry management. Already 48 poultry-breeding associations have been formed. In Virginia, a Barred Plymouth Rock association has developed a cooperative selling plan of a size that requires a manager to handle the business. Organizations of this kind are not only beneficial to the members, but by simulating a larger output of high- quality poultry products, they benefit the public as well. Mis of Local -tj.
