The county commissioners held' a
busy monthly meeting Monday and
Tuesday, transacting a large amount
of business. A good portion of the
first day's aesalon was apent in ex-amining
account* against the county,
the bills ordered paid aggregating
112,000. This unusual amount la to
be accounted tor by the fact that
$2,500 was paid to the school fund
and a payment of $2,500 was made
on the court house annex now in
course of construction.
A franchise was granted ' to the
North Carolina Public Service Com-pany
for an extension of the street
car line out North Elm street extend-ed
to a point oppoa.te the proposed
country club. Work on the new line
is expected to begin in the near fu-ture,
and probably the cars will be
running in the course of a few
months. The new line will prove
a great convenience to the people
in the northern part of the city and
In the suburbs through which it
will run.
Citizens residing along North Buf-falo
creek filed a complaint as to
conditions that exist on account of
the city sewerage emptying into the
stream. Dr. O. F. Ross, the county
superintendent of health, was inr
structed to Investigate . the matter
and report his findings to the coun-ty
board of health.
Miss Minnie Williams was re-elected
court stenographer for the
ensuing term of two years.
An appropriation of $60 was made
for a stenographer for Mr. R. W.
Harrison, the county tax assessor.
D. L. Donnell, executor of the
late J. C. Roberts, was granted a re-bate
of $169.10 tor taxes on personal
property that should have been list-ed
In Forsyth county. The master
had previously been referred to the
corporation commission, which ren-dered
a decision In favor of Forsyth
county.
An order was made authorising the
chairman of the board to purchase
from Judge W. P. Bynum the Men-denhall
property, which adjoints the
court house property on the north,
for a consideration of $16,600. Five
hundred dollars of the purchase price
Is to be paid at once and the coun-ty
is to give its note for $16,000, pay-able
January 1, 1912, without inter-est,
Judge Bynum to retain posses-sion
of the property until that time
In purchasing this property, which
has a frontage of 23 feet on North
E'm street, the county regains com;
plete possession of the land lying
between the Mendenh 11 building and
the court house. While the county
has owned this property all the
while, an agreement was made with
the original purchaser of the Meff-denhall
property that It should not
be closed up. The commissioners
made the purchase with the view to
future needs of the county in the
way of an enlarged court house. In
the meantime the rentals received
from the property, it Is said, will
more than pay Interest on the in-vestment-
County Surveyor Foust presented
a rough sketch of the lands em-braced
In the Reedy Fork drainage
district In accordance with an act of
the last session of the legislature.
The surveyor estimates that the
cost of deepening the channel of
the creek will be in the neighbor-hood
of $25,000 and that this work
would enable the owners of adja-cent
land to drain and put Into cul-tivation
about 5,000 acres, the soil
being among the richest to be found
In the entire county.
The following ware exempted from
the payment of poll tax on account
of physical infirmity: George W.
Nelson, Robert Tomkins and Isaac
C. Clymer. For the same reason,
Albert Ward was' exempted from
the payment of a peddler's license

A petition was filed with the board
asking for a change In the public
road in High Point township known
as the old Mendenhall road, leading
from South Main street, in the city
of High Point, from a point known
as Silman'a store, the petitioners re-questing
that the road run from
Barker's corner along the line of
the Southern Power Company to the
Lexington road.
Another road petition from High
1 Point township asked for the open-
; ing of a public road at a point near
I the residence of Joseph S. " Worth
I and running nearly south Into what
I is known as the Springfield road.
Both of these petitions will come
! up for action at the July meeting
of the board.
The board granted the petition pre-viously
filed asking for a change in
the public road in Oak Ridge town-ship,
leading from the Rockingham
county line to Stokesdale, beginning
at the graded road on N. W. Gor-don's
land and running to the corpo-rate
limits of Stokesdale.
It was also ordered that a public
road be opened in Rock Creek town-ship,
beginning at a point on the
macadam road near E. E. Boon's
mail box and running in a northerly
direction to the public road leading
from Glbsonv.lle to McLsansville,
near Wagoner's siding.
Yesterday a committee from the
board visited the territory affected
and decided to extend to the Geth-semane
road the public road that
1 was previously opened from Kirk-patrlck's
brickyard to a point with-in
half a mile of North Elm street
. extended. The work is to be done
while the convict camp Is in that
locality. The new road will shorten
the distance from Greensboro to
Guilford Battle Ground and will af-ford
a new inlet to the city for
! people coming from the northeast-
! ern part of the county.

Judge Boyd'a charge to the grand
jury was plain and explicit He re-ferred
to the trust question and said
that the recent dt-cis-ons of the
Supreme court, which declared the
Standard Oil Company and the Amer-ican
Tobacco Company ill.gal combi-nations,
did not mean only that the
corporations as legal en. ltd, a were
guilty of a criminal offense, but that
the active agencies and ins-rum n-tallOis.
whether they be other cor-porations
or peisons, would also be
guilty of a criminal vio atton of the
law. ._ -
.• "That Is," said he, "such agencies
as were part and parcel of the com-bination
which these corporations
had formed and which were a part
and parcel of the common d- sign
which these principal corporations
propose-! to carry out. If such agen-cies
or instrumentalities, whether in
the form of corporations or persons
or associations, be.ng a part of the
combination or organization of the
Standard Oil Company or the Amer-ican
Tobacco Company, such agen-
| cies in the opinion of the Supreme
court have violated the anti-trust
act of Congress.""■
I He Bald the people and the courts
have been waling on th's deciB.on
in being guided as to their actions
toward illegal compacts or combina-tions,
and that since the Supreme
court had undertaken to describe the
meaning of illegal restraint it now
becomes the duty of the authorities
to enforce the law and enforce it
strenuously.
Martin McCauley, for Illicit distill-ing,
.paaad not guilty. Without re-trriOe
the Jury found him not guily.
J. F. Roberts pi ad not gu.l y to
illicit distilling. The jury returned
a verdict of not gn lty.
Walter Gentry pie d not guilty to
Impairing a mail box. The Jury, with-out
retiring, found him gu lty.
Claude Underwood plead not guilty
to Illicit distilling. He was ad i.dg
ed guilty and o.dered into cus.ody.
Lundy Darnell, of wiik s county,
was found not gulUy of iU-c^t dis-tilling.
In a case for the same offense
against Evan McKnlgh , of Yadkin
county, the jury returned a finding
of not guilty. Judge Bo,d address d
the Jury and sa d that while he rec-ognized
the probab.lity of its baing
composed of good men and true, It
was In evidence lhat its membeis do
not know internal revenue law, and
he therefore excus d the panel from
further attendance upon the court.
The next case taken up for trial
was that of the United Sta es vs.
Sldna Allen, for perjury. Allen w s
adjudged not guilty of < ountt rfel ing
on his own evidence 'n cou;t one
year ago, and the ac.ion against him
tor perjury grew out of the former
case.
Rural Telephone Makes Good Again.
Another Illustration of the advant-age
of the rural telephone was af-forded
iu the Guilford College com-munity
a tew days ago. Several
young ladles had started from the
residence of Rev. Albert Peele to
make a visit at the home of Rev.
Joseph H. Pvele when they were
attaak-ad by a mad dog. They m. n-aged
to escape without injury, and
going to the nearest house equ pped
with a telephone-, they advis d the
neighbors that a rabid dog was at
large in the communty. In response
to this message, a few young men
at *he college aimed themselves
with weapons aid promptly put an
end to the dog's life. Had it not
been for the ccnTenlence of the-tel-ephone,
the rabid dog mi;ht have
gone through tbe entire communitty
and done untold damage.
Mr. John H. Chrlsmon, of Wash-ington
township, whose mind has
been unbalanced recently, was
.brought to Greensboro by relatives
-yesterday and examined by the
county physician. Dr. A. F. Fortune,
who pronounced h m lnsame. He
was committed to Jail for safe keep-ing
pending the completion of ar-rangements
for his admission to
the state hospital at Morganton. The
case Is peculiarly said, and Mr.
Chrismon and his relatives have
the sympathy of numerous friends.

THE FINMCIU PROBLEM.
Savfaigi Bask Inverfsteah—Hcau

»**e**ooooooooosos»oooooo»
Don't Withdraw Your Money From
*he Bank.
Savings bank depositors, as well
as others, who have succeeded In
accumulating their flrst five hun-dred
or one thousand dollars are
quite likely to be influenced by ad-vertisements
of means of Investment
yielding greater Income, to with-draw
their funds from the banks.
In many Instances, it would be wiser
to leave the money In the bank and
be content with four per cent In-terest,
compounded quarterly. Too
often have the owners of a bank
account been tempted to withdraw
all or a large part of their savings
to invest in some business, buy bonde
or stocks of concerns which are
hardly worthy of a conservative in-vestor's
attention, or to Invest In
other schemes, only to find that the
glowing prospects of the promoter
of the business or of the company
whose stocks or bonds were offer-ed
failed of realization. The inves-tors
then found themselves unable to
dispose of their Interest in the bus-iness
or the securities except, at a
great loss, possibly causing hard-ship
not only to themselves, but to*
others dependent upon them, and'
making for discouragement and dis-trust
in their future efforts to ac-cumulate
a competence.
Government bonds, while sound in-vestments
In every respect, are not
1 purchased by Individual investors to
I a very great extent because of the
low interest return. ThlB may also
: be said of state bonds, for the
credit of most of the states enables
them to Issue their bonds bearing
tour per cent Interest or lower rates,
and the demand for these bonds by
large savings banks and other insti-tutions
soon causes them to com-mand
considerable premiums above
their par value. Municipal bonds
are, without doubt, among the most
popular of all classes of investment
securities, for, being authorized un-der
the constitutional or legislative
power of the several states and pay-able,
principal and interest, out of
taxes levied upon the real and per-sonal
property of the counties, cities
and towns issuing them, furnish ad-equate
security for the prompt pay-ment
of Interest when due and the
principal of the loan at maturity.
Many of the states have provided
constitutional and legislative restric-tions
as to the debt-making power
of their municipal subdivisions, and
in the selection do municipal bonds
for savings investment it is advisable
to ascertain what the debt limit of
the county, city or town may be
I before deciding upon a purchase.
I If the debt limit as prescribed by
I law exceeds ten per cent, of the
.total assessed valuation of property,
1 subject to taxation for all purposes,
jit would be well to exercise consid-erable
care In selecting bonds of.
counties, cities or towns of such
states for the investment of sav-ings.
Another important precaution
to be taken in connection with the
purchase of municipal bonds is to as-certain
whether the legality of the
Issue has been passed upon by
competent counsel before it has
been taken by the original purchas-ers,
for practically the only losses
of consequence ever sustained by
owners of municipal bonds have oc-curred
through the illegality of the
Issues. Nearly all bond dealers,
however, require an opinion of a
competent lawyer approving the le-gality
of a bond Issue before mak-ing
payment therefor, and as a
rule are willing to furnish a copy
of this opinion, if desired, or to
show the original thereof to pur-chasers
of any of the bonds of the
issue they offer.
Our advice to you is not to draw
your money out of the savings
bank for investment in other things,
at least not until you ask the ad-vice
of some of the officers of the
bank with which you are dealing.
They have dally experience In In-vestment
securities, and besides, it
is a large part of their business to
keep posted on bonds, and they
know the good ones.
Put a ten-dollar bill In an old
stocking and keep It there twenty
years. Then take it out and see
what you will have. Put a ten-dol-lar
bill In the savings bank at 4 per
cent, interest and keep It there
twenty years. Then take It out
and see that you will have $21.36.
It'a a difference between hoarding
and saving. Men have made mil-lions
by savings. No man has ever
made a Denny by hoarding.

The Benefits of a
Savings Account
The benefits accruing from a
savings account are manifold.
The Interest received Is the
smallest benefit produced; To
ley aside a "snug little sum
tor a rainy day" la a com-mendable
undertaking, and
certainly worth all the effort
any savings account ever re-quired,
when the "rainy day"
comes. But satisfying as
these benefits are, 'they have
not the merit that comes of
the training .. acquired in suc-cessfully
conducting a savings
account. To have learned the
principles of economy la to
have your Independence and
happiness assured. Such ars
some of the great values of a
savings account This bank en-courages
such accounts by pay-ing
4 per cent. Interest on
them, compounded four times
a year.
Checking accounta in any X
•mount cordially invited.
