KING MAKE8 STATEMENT TO THE COMMISSIONERS. Chairman of Highway Commission Makes Explanation of Sale- of Ma-terial for Public Road Work- Transaction Was Open and Above Board—Manv Petitions for Now Roads—Six Highways Granted and Other Business Transacted. By far the most Interesting matter to come before the September meet-ing of the board of county commis-sioners, held Monday and yesterday, was he request of Mr. John L. King, chairman of the Guilford county high-way commission, for an investigation into his official conduct. The board will grant the request and have an in-vestigation made in regular order. The request for an investigation was made as the result of various rumors that have been in circulation recently. The rumors had to do with the reputed sale by Mr. King to the highway commission of material used In the construction of a public road in violation of the law prohibiting public officials from selling goods or materials to be utilized in work over which they have jurisdiction. The transaction was discussed by the county commissioners and the high-way commission in a joint meeting Monday. Yesterday afternoon Attor-ney R. R. King appeared before the board of commissioners and made a request for an investigation, present-ing the following signed statement from his brother, Mr. John L. King: "To the Honorable, the Board of Commissioners for Guilford County: "Referring to the interview which took place between your honorable body and the highway commission of Guilford county on yesterday, both acting in their official capacity, with reference to the purchase by the high way commission of certain material from the undersigned and used in the construction of a highway lead-ing north from Greensboro, same be-ing 'he extension of Church street, beg to say that I shall be glad for your body, or any member thereof, acting in hla'official capacity, to make a full investigation of this matter, and I shall be glad to give you every fact within my knowledge and afford you every facility with reference to the matters involved. "The facts are, in short, as stated to youf board on yesterday: That when it was decided to construct this highway, Capt. Fousbee, superintend-ent, alone or possibly in conjunction with another or others, made investi-gation as to the possibility of get-ting stone in that locality. As a re-sult of his investigation, he reported to the undersigned that he was un-able- to. get conveniently the neces-sary material, and applied to the un-dersigned to buy the slag, stone, bricks and other material of like char-acter at the old furnace site of the Empire Steel and Iron Company, which was in dose proximity to the road to be constructed. That he rep-resented that the material was suit-able for the uses designed, where-upon the undersigned stated to him that he doubted whether, under the law. he could sell this material to the highway commission, and declined to negotiate further with reference to the matter. "Thereafter, at a meeting of the board of highway commission. Capt. Foushee took up this matter with the board as a whole, and stated to them that he was unable to find the nec> essary material in close proximity to the road to be constructed, and stated in that connection that the un-dersigned owned at the site above mentioned a considerable quantity of material well adapted for the purpose and that he hoped that the under-signed could be prevailed upon to let the highway commission have it. The undersigned stated to the board that he feared some legal impediments and did not care to in any way em-barrass himself by such a transac-tion. That the board Insisted that it would be a large saving to the coun-ty to let the highway commission have this material; and after full con-sultation; between the undersigned ana the other members of the highway commission, and at its request, it was decided to let the commission have the material at 50 cents per cubic yard; that his predecessor in ownership and he himself had sold like material for 75 cents per cubic yard. That Capt. Foushee represent-ed to the commission, before the ma-terial was contracted for and since that there was a saving of at toasts oer cent in the cost of the construc-tion rt that portion of said road wherein this material was used. "This matter has never been re-garded as a secret, as the negotia-tions were conducted in an open and business-like manner. The undersign ed has heard recently that the matter has been whispered around as a great secret, and for this rea8onthe undersigned and any and every mem-ber of the highway 2"">££_*S afford you every possible facility to a full Investigation.

County May Sail Present Court House and Jail and Erect New Buildings on Kcoley Institute! Property— Proposition Submitted by J. F. Jor-dan and What It Means—Matter to Coma Up for Final Action at December Meeting of Board. One of the most Interesting matters that has come before the people of Guilford county in many years is In-volved in a proposition looking to the removal of the court house and jail to a new location. The question has been under advisement for some time, and at the meeting of the coun-ty commissioners Monday Mr. J. F. Jordan submitted a tentative propo-sition to buy the property at present occupied by the court house and the jail and offering to sell the county property upon which to erect new structures. If it should be decided to move the court house and jail, the new build-ings, in all probability, will be locat-ed on the property now occupied by the Keeley Institute, on West Wash-ington street, formerly the home place of the late Governor John M. Morehead. Mr. Jordan has taken an option on this property, with the un-derstanding that, in the event of a sale, it is to be used for county pur-poses only, and has made the county a bona fide offer for the court house and iail property. While nothing official has been given out. It Is understood that Mr. Jordan has an option on the Keeley Institute property for a price approx-imating $66,000 and that he offers the county about $126,000 for the court house and jail property, he to deliv-er the Keeley property in the trade. This would leave the county about $60,000-for the construction and equip-ment of new buildings. The matter will come up for final action at the December meeting of the county commissioners. The de-lay of 90 days was made necessary by a section of the Revisal of 1905 which provides that the public shall be notified this far in advance of any proposed action looking to the removal of a court house or jail. The law gives the commissioners author-ity In the matter where the proposed removal Is for a d'stance not exceed-ing one mile, but it is provided that action can be taken only at the De-cember meetlna of the board. The present'court house occupies the northwest corner of North Elm and West Market streets, with a frontage of a fraction over 172 feet on North Elm and a fraction over 125 feet on West Market. The build-ing was enlarged and remodeled about five years ago, but its location on a small lot in the heart of the business district of the city operates against it. Notwithstanding the fact that It was enlarged only a few years ago. it is contended that the build-ing is now inadequate to the demands, while the noise of public traffic makes the transaction of business difficult and inconvenient. Especial-ly is this noticeable during the trial of cases, when It is often impossible to hear distinctly the evidence of witnesses, the questions of lawyers or remarks from the judge on the bench. It has been apparent for some time that the removal of the court house will be necessary sooner or later, and while they have made no public expression. It is not improb-able that those charged with the ad-ministration of the county's affairs will look with favor upon the prop-osition submitted by Mr. Jordan. Should the trade be consummated, it is understood that arrangements will be made whereby the county will retain the furniture and fixtures of the court house and jail, thereby saving a snug sum in the cost of the new buildings. It is believed that the difference in the purchase prices of the county property and the Keeley property would provide a new court house, while the material and equip-ment from the present jail would re-duce the cost of a new prison to a minimum. In other words, the build-ing of a new court house and jail, on modern and enlarged plans, would not saddle a heavy debt upon the county. But all these details will be worked out later, ar.d it is presumed the public will be thoroughly Inform-ed as to the matter before final ac-tion Is taken by the commissioners at the December meeting. In the event the trade Is consum-mated, the stockholders of the Keeley Institute will erect a magnificent structure on a new location. This property occupies an entire block, 300 by 400 feet, admirably situated near the center of the city. There Is not a prettier spot in Greensboro, and it would afford an ideal location for a court bouse. Colonel Osborn and his directors refused positively to ■dve an option on the property until they learned that It was wanted for a court house that would be com-mensurate with the growth and standing of GulltOrd county. Mr. Jordan declines to say what he purposes to do with the Present court house property, should the deal go through, but the fact that he has entered into s trade of such magnitude is accented as sufficient evidence that he has some big scheme In view. There Is a rumcr to the ef-fect that the present court house is to be replaced by a modern office building of eight or ten stories in height. I Get a sub-soiler plow.

But If you ever expect to be Independent financially through your own efforts you must make a start. Money saved and put awes' safely will protect you from misfortune and prepare you to take advantage of opportunities that will surely come to you.

The quarterly meeting of the Cham-ber of Commerce was held last night. when a number of matters looking to the welfare of Greensboro were dis-cussed. The question of the proposed removal ol the state capital from Ral-eigh to Greensboro was brought ap by Capt. J. W. Fry, who made an In-teresting speech showing the feasibil-ity and practicability of the proposi-tion. The following were appointed members of a committee to look in-to the matter further and report at the next meeting of the Chamber at Commerce: Capt. J. W. Fry. Judge R. M. Douglas, A. W. McAlister, D. P. Stern, R. C. Strudwlck and E. J. Justice. Messrs. R. C. Hood, J. I. Foust and C. H.
