D. A. KIRKPATRICK.
NEW COUNTY OFFICE.
Poposition to Create Department of
Agrculturo and Sanitation.
At a special session of the board
of county commissioners Monday the
qnaptlun of creating a departmnet of
agriculture and sanitation as an ad-junct
of the county government was
considered at length. The matter
was presented to the board by Dr.
D. H. Hill, president of the North
Carolina College of Agriculture and
Mechanic Arts; Dr. McAnally, Rev.
Dr. J. Ed Thompson and Mr. J. E.
Kirkman, of High Point, and Dr. John
Roy Williams, of Greensboro.
It is proposed to employ a capable
man who will devote his entire at-tention
to the duties of the office,
traveling through the county and in-structing
the people as to the best
methods of agriculture, sanitation,
etc. The commissioners appeared to
take kindly to the proposition, and it
is altogether probable that the work
will be undertaken. A bill will be
introduced in the legislature empow-ering
the board of commissioners to
create the proposed office and employ
a superintendent.
The proposed establishment of a
recorder's court in Greensboro, to
supercede the mayor's court, was
brought to the attention of the board
and considered at length. It appear-ed
to be the sense of the board that
it would be well to establish a coun-ty
court with enlarged Jurisdiction
over that exercised by mayors and
justices of the peace. It Is believed
that such a court would save the
county a snug sum each year in the
way of jail fees, jury costs, etc.
When the matter is carried to the
legislature, it is probable the law-makers
will be asked to give the
court jurisdiction in civil cases where
the amount in dispute is not in ex-cess
of $1,000.
NEW CHARTER DISCUSSED.
Well Attended Meeting of Citizens
Held Last Night.
• A well attended meeting of the cit-izens
of Greensboro was held In the
county court house last night for the
purpose of considering the proposed
new city charter, and after consider-able
discussion, a committee was ap-pointed
to confer with the board of
aldermen and report back at a future
meeting. The committee, consisting
of two members from each ward, is
as follows: First ward, C. H. Ireland
and G. A. Grimsley; second, R. C.
Hood and W. C. Jackson; third, G.
8. Sergeant and R. R. King; fourth,
W. E. Harrison and R. C. Strudwick:
fifth, Robert Morrison and J. 8. Cox;
sixth, R. D. Douglas and E. P. Whar-ton.
Mayor Brandt presided over last
night's meeting and the provisions of
the proposed charter were explained
by City Attorney Shaw.
A motion instructing the special
committee to strike out that, provision
of the charter giving the aldermen
power to levy a sewer tax was adopt-ed.
In order that all the people of the
city may familiarize themselves with
its provisions, the proposed charter
will be published before the next
meeting is held.

May Purchase Waterpower.
The Chamber of Commerce has be-come
interested in a proposition look-ing
to the purchase from Mr. John A.
Hodgin of a waterpower on Deep

to transmitting electric power to

delivered in Greensboro within eight
months. For seven miles above the
point where it is proposed to build
the dam the river has a flow of about
25.000 cubic feet a minute.
Should the power be developed, the
people of Reidsvllle will make an ef-fort
to have the line extended to that
place, and doubtless other towns in
this section will become interested in
the matter.
