Tate,; who w as, charged with being a typhoid carrier, last summer and responsible for the. epidemic In Greensboro, has received a clean bill of health from the state laboratory of hygiene, following a microscopical examination.

Birds are reported. as plentiful, and those who find: pleasure 1n tramping 1 the fields witb5 guns and dogs, are anticipating much ivire pleasure before - the season cl08es on the last daV of February; I -The indications are that a large number of Northern hunters will visit the county during the season. Al ready Clerk, of the Court Gant has is sued 26 licenses to non-resident hunt ers 'from New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland. Guilford is in a group of counties under the state Audubon law, and licenses issued here are good also in the following counties: Rockingham, Alamance, Alleghany, Anson, Ashe, Avery, Bla den, Buncombe, Durham, Brunswick, Burke, Caldwell, Columbus, Chatham, Cumberland, Davidson, Edgecombe, Greene, Haywood, Iredell, Lee, Le-; noir, McDowell, Mecklenburg, Moore, New Hanover, Northampton, Orange, Person, Rowan, Rutherford, Scot land, Surry, Wake, Wautauga and Y'ancey. The Jicense fee of the non-resident hunter is $10. Of this amount the county in which the. license is issued receives the insignificant sum of 25 cents, the State Audubon Society tak ing the balance. It is hot known why the money is divided so . un equally. Written Permission Necessary. ; The last session of the legislature passed a law for Guilford county that' has probably never been heard of by a majority of hunters. Thisenactment makes it necessary for each hunter-to have .written, not oral, - permission from the owner of any land before same can be hunted on. The enact-jnetr-. ijimpjcr'BfStq . jroteelahd owners and lessees of hunting privi leges in Guilford county, follows: "Section 1. That it shall be unlaw ful for any person or persons to hunt or trap upon the lands of another without the written permission of the owner of said lands. "Section 2. That if the hunting privilege on any lands is leased to another person ic shall be unlawful for any person or persons to hunt up on said lands without the written per mission of the lessee or the agent of the lessee. "Section 3. That any person oj per sons violating the provisions of this act shall, upon' conviction in a court having jurisdiction, be fined not less than $5 nor more than $50, or, in the discretion of the court.be imprisoned for not more than 30 days. "Section 4. That in case of convic tion for the violation of any provision of this act the sum of $2 shall be tax ed against the convicted person and said sum paid to the person or per sons furnishing sufficient evidence to convict. "Section 5. That all laws and parts of laws in conflict with the provisions of this act are hereby repealed. "Section 6. That this act shall ap ply to Guilford county only. "Section 7. That no part of this act shall apply to any person or per sons hunting opossums In the night time. "Section 8. That this act shall be in force from and after August 1. 1915." Blockade Stills Seized. -Reports received at the office of Revenue Agent Chapman show- -that during the month of October .there were 69 illicit distilleries seized in his dis trict. Of the total 35 were in the western district of North Carolina, 22 in the eastern district of North Carolina and two in South Carolina, It has been a good while since so few stills were seized in this district in a single month. The decrease is prob ably due to the numerous successful raids conducted by the revenue offi cers In recent, months. Not only have the, stills been pretty well thin ned out, but the blockaders. In many instances, have become more cau tious and harder to catch. Insane Prisoners.

BRAND WHITLOCK FOR WILSON'S RUNNING MATE, Washington, Nov. 17. With Min ister to Belgium Brand Whitiock now on his way home, friends of President Wilson are earnestly discussing today the po'ssi jblityV6f naming him as a runajng mate for Wilson. They pro fessed "to see in hinranideal "burden bearer" of the campaign. v The president has announced that he will not sanjpaigff. - He has, inti mated sthat the issue on which the party will go before the people is ?freparedness. If Whitiock. direct from the scene of devastation of a na tion not prepared, is a complete sup porter of the preparedness program, 4he president's advisers see in him an ideal man for the vice presidential nominee. He would do the campaign ing, they figure, and be a great as set. Moreover, they hold the party ought to capture the Progressive party voters if Wilson has as a run ning mate a Democrat of radically progressive views. Whitiock, they say, is such a man. He has the furth er distinction of being a nationally known figure through his energetic, forceful and diplomatic handling of affairs in Belgium. A further point which Whitlock's adherents are citing is that he is an Ohioan and could reasonably be ex pected, "because of his personal popu larity, to. swings the Buckeye state in- ion, df the latter,! chosen, the Re- 4 publican standard besjerj. . . ;i rr-, REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS-: RECORDED THIS WEEK.

What he said was not maae puDiic, out at tne con- elusion of the session Mr. Knox an- nounced that all Fay wanted to do now was to plead guilty to the gov- ernment's charges against him and go to jail. P. J. McDonald, a lawyer appoint ed by the court to represent Fay, sought to see his client in Mr. Knox's office, but, failing, served on Mr. Knox notice of his intent to demur to the indictment. Fay read the de-1 murrer while the lawyer waited out side. "I want to plead guilty and have this thing over with as soon as possi ble," Fay said wearily. "Further more, WaRer Scholz, my brother-in-law, feels the same way about it." Republican State Convention Called.
