MONTHLY MEETING OF
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
Aside trom passing on many bills
and attending to routine business af-fairs,
the county commissioners
spent most of the time of the July
meeting in the consideration of road
matters.
A committee from the Greensboro
Merchants' Association appeared be-fore
the board and asked if the coun-ty
could not do something in the way
of repairing the road between
Greensboro and High Point, which is
In bad condition. The committee
pointed out the importance to the
county of this highway and pledged
their co-operation in working out
some scheme to have it rebuilt. The
board took no action in the matter,
although members stated that they
hoped to be able to get to this road
soon and put it in' proper shape.
There was no definite hope held out,
however, that the work can be done
any time within the near future.
A petition was presented to the
board on behalf of property owners
on the Spring Garden street road,
from the city limits to Lindley park,
asking that the road be widened to
a uniform width of 50 feet and a
bnilding line established that will
eliminate litigation and other trouble
in future. Those petitioning agreed
to give sufficient land for the im-provement,
and the board granted
the petition and ordered the matter
properly a'dvertised.
The county is at the present time
constructing an asphalt pavement
from the Normal College to Lindley
park. The property owners, in ask-ing
for this paving, gave $1,500 and
the Pomona Terra Cotta Company
gave the equivalent of about $500
more in crushed terra cotta for the
concrete. It was stated this week
that the owners of property have
pledged between $3,000 and $4,000
additional for a mile and a half more
paving of this kind out to Muir's
chapel at any time the commission-ers
see fit to extend the road.

for the two-weeks term of Superior
court to convene" August 16: C. L.

SAYS MAKER*) OF ARMS ARE
PARTICIPANTS IN WAR.
Mr. and Mrs. W: P. Turner and
children, of Wlnaton-Salem, were In
the city yesterday afternoon on their
return home from a visit to^latlTasltattjef of
Pittsburgh, July 7.—"Men who
make arms and ammunition to ship
to Europe are as guilty of murder as
the man who fires the shot," said
Congressman Stephen G. Porter,
member of the house foreign rela-tions
committee, in a Fourth of July
oration on the North Side here today.
"These men who are engaged in
the manufacture of munitions of war
are accessories to the crime *iiat is
causing the awful bloodshed through-out
Europe today," said thecongress-man.
"They are profiting by the
blood of those who are falling on the
battlefields and they are helping to
increase the awful destruction In the
warring lands. /
'I have said much about this and
think that this traffic we are indulg-ing
In, the shipment of
ammunition abroad, shorfld *e
ped. We are helping to prolong the
war, and, doing this, ttjo Wood of
these soldiers is on our
Congressman Porter paid a high
tribute to President Wilson tor the
manner in which he had conducted
the Corsica relalons off the govern-ment
during the confhet. He —-\
that though he did noi agree with
many of the details in the president's
attitude, he was In full accord with
his policy in general.
Faasralo*
Paris, Jujy 6.—Th« funeral of
Gen. Porfirto Diaz, the former pres-ident
of Mexico, was/held at 10.3.0
this morning in the Catholic church
of St. Honors d'Eylau. The large fu-neral
assemblage laflnded represea-of
been re-elected at each reciurring
biennial election without question or
opposition. Guilford's schools have
made wonderful progress under Su-perintendent
Foust's administration
and stand today in the very forefront
of the state's public schools.
Yesterday the board had under
consideration the farm life schools
of the county, which seem to afford
one of the biggest problems confront-ing
those in charge of the county's
school affairs. No definite conclu-sion
has been reached and probably
will not be until the board of edu-cation
can have a conference with
State Superintendent Joyner. Dr.
Joyner has been asked to come to
Greensboro at his earliest conveni-ence
and meet with the board.

TIPTON FINED AND
BOUND OVER TO COURT.
F. E. Tipton was tried Tuesday
morning before Squire W. C. Eng-land
on the charge of assault and
battery, the offense being committed
Saturday at Guilford Battle Ground
upon Solicitor Michael Schenck. of
Hendersonville, who is a native of
Greensboro. Both the state and the
defendant were represented by coun-sel
and the trial, consumed several
hours and was attended by a large
crowd. Squire England fined Tipton
$25 and taxed him with the costs for
the assault upon Solicitor Schenck.
Another warant charged the defend-ant
with an assault upon Mrs.
Schenck, and in this case the de-fendant
was held for the September
term of criminal court.
The assault, according to the evi-dence,
was wholly a surprise to Mr.
Schenck. The defendant formerly
lived in Hendersonville and while
there was bound over to court in
some cases by Mr. Schenck when he
was mayor. Later, when Mr. Schenck
was solicitor, he prosecuted the de-fendant
in other cases. When the
two men met at the Battle Ground
about the time the parade was form-ing
Saturday morning, they spoke;
then Mr. Schenck was suddenly
struck by the defendant. Friends
nearby prevented Tipton from con-tinuing
the assault. Mr. Tipton Is In
the marble and granite business here
and was formerly engaged in a simi-lar
business at Hendersonville.
COUNTY HEALTH OFFICER
SUBMITS MONTHLY REPORT.
Following is the monthly report ot
Dr. W. M. Jones, county superintend-ent
of health, filed with the commis-sioners|
Monday:
County Home.—Here the report
does not vary from previous months.
For the last few months there has
been little work at the home calling
for medical attention. Some insane1
have been placed In the wards, tem-porarily
only, or so I hope. Some
have been admitted to the state hos-pital
and some are yet at the home.
County Work House.—Here there
has been but one call during the
month and that for a case of malaria.
County Jail.—Here there have
been ten calls during the month.
There have been a couple of very sick
negroes in jail, both having been
sent from the camps. One Is doing
fairly well and the other does not
seem to be making much gam. Troy
Fitagerald is in jail and applica-tion
has been made for him to go to
Morgar.ton. One negro man now iu
jail is crary and application has
been made for admission at the hos-pital
at Goldsboro.
Camps.—,Eight visits have been
made to the camps during the
month, some as before mentioned
have been sent from the camps to
jail. John Proctor has a cancer on
his eye; has been operated on, the
cancerous tissue being burnt out. I
cannot say how much benefit he is
going to receive, however.
