REPORT OF GRAND JURY
To the Honorable, the Wood
ruff Circuit Court for the
Southern District, Hon. R.
D. Campbell, Special Judge.
We, your grand jury, empan
nelled at tlie beginning of this
term of court, beg leave to sub
mit this, our final report:
We have had before our body
29 witnesses; have inquired into
18 charges of felony, returning 6
true bills; have inquired into 8
charges of misdemeanor, return
ing 8 true bills. The examination
we gave these charges was as com
plete and thorough as we knew
how, and in each case, where the
evidence justified us, we have re
turned true bills.
We have examined into the case
of every person confined in the
county jail or on bail to answer a
criminal charge in this court and
who was not indicted, and in each
case have reported our finding to
this by indictment or otherwise.
We have examined into the con
dition of the public prisions in this
portion of the county and find that
they have been well kept and their
sanitary conditions are as good as
could be desired. We wish to
state in this connection, however,
that some minor repairs are need
ed upon the jail, which is located

in the court house building, and
we suggest that the sheriff be re
quired to look into these matters
and make such repairs as may be
necessary. A little money ex
pended at this time, we think, will
be a saving to the county for the
future.
We find that the county court
house for this district is in good
repair and well kept. We sug
gest, however, that the fence sur
rounding the property should be
looked after and kept in good re
pair.
So far as we have been able to
learn the collecting officers of the
county have been prompt in their
payments, and no delinquents have
been discovered by us in the in
vestigations we have made. We
have also failed to find that any
officer whose duty it is to make re
ports of fines or other matters to
the county court have been dere
lict in their duties.
We have made no particular or
special inspection since the con
vening of our body into tne con
dition of our roads. As our mem
bers come from all sections of
this district, we have made in
quiries along this line, and from
the personal knowledge and in
spection of the members of our
body we are enabled to report to
| your Honor that the conditions of
our roads are as good as could be
expected under all of the circum
stances. Our road overseers seem
to have been conscientious in the
discharge of their duties, and no
complaints from that score have
reached our attention.
We feel that our people are sub
jects of congratulation with re
gard to the unlawful sale of
liquors. This matter heretofore
has occupied a great deal of the
time and attention of this body
and also of this court. We are
pleased to report, however, that
our investigations have shown that
this character of crime has prac
tically been unknown in our dis
trict since the last sitting of this
court.
We extend our thanks to the
officers^of this court for their uni
form kindness and courtesies to us
during our deliberations, and for
the promptness with which they
have responded when called upon
to render assistance. The sheriff
of the county we desire especially
to thank for his consideration of
our comfort in our deliberations,
and on account of his promptness
in executing processes issued from
our body he has avoided all delays
in the prosecution of our work.
Respectfully submitted,
David H. Echols, Foreman.
COnPANY Q ADVANCING
Upon the advancement of Capt.
R. B. Keating to the position of
Battalion Major, Company G was
called together last Saturday night
for the purpose of electing a cap
tain to till the vacancy. Upon mo
tion, 1st. Lieut. Hamilton P.
Riggs was unanimously elected
as captain. 2nd. Lieut. Harry A.
Walker was elected 1st. Lieut, and
after a spirited ballot Porter Best
was elected 2nd. Lieut. As Lieut.
Best was 1st. Sergt. of the Compa
ny, that position is vacant as is
that of company quartermaster and
Capt. Riggs has announced his de
termination to let the enlisted men
of the company elect those two im
portant non-commissioned officers j
and will appoint the rest of the
non-coms to-morrow, Friday.
The eleetion of Capt. Riggs and
the two lieutenants is especially
! gratifying to the friends of the
company for no better selection of
the three commissioned officers
could have been made. All
three of them have been privates
in the Company and by their
steady labor and faithfulness to
the Company, have risen to the po
sition they now hold.
The Companv is making a rec
ord that is the pride of it’s friends
and now with a major, captain and
two lieutenants, it can and we feel
sure that it will, surpass what has
been done. The citizens of Mc
Crory and Woodruff county are
neglecting a good part of their
duty in not taking more interest in
the welfare of what may in the
near future, be the defenders of
our county, our state or our nation.
If you can, by word or deed,
help one of the boys, do it and
you will not be the looser.
The News joins Company G’s
many friends in congratulating
the new officers and here’s to it’s
boosters—three loud cheers.
