Mystery en velopes the discovery of the body of n unkuown man found Satur day evening, near Caraleigh Mill village, south of the city, with a bullet hole through the heart and another through the left thigh.

The man appears to have been about 40 years old. Lives Jeopardized. A lecturer recently called at tention to the first cost of a : hu- mau life, the jeopardizing of the life ofv another human being. North Carclina does not think en: ugh of the lives bought at such a price to register the birth of her cit z ns. More than 2,000,000 lives are jeopardized to give the Ptate its present population, and the government passes it by without a record I Darine the Civil War 125 000 North Carolinians jeopar dized their lives through patriot ism, and the literature regarding the conflict would fill more vol umes than the average man may ever hope to own. Is it not time for our State to consider record ing the births of . her citizens? Having been born at such a rish, is it too much .to ask that the State make a record of every such event ana help, in that way, the child for whom the mother risked her iifel State Bulletin.

Seifert, Accused Union Officii! Admits Ef forts Were If ade to Uuiooizs jobs. Indianapolis,. Ind., Deo 6.- Seven words ; embraQed. in the phrase "prstty he rd jto do 'any thing to it" were,produced by . the Gcverumont at thelrial of the ac cused "bomb'plotters" today, as its evidenos that Herman G. Sei fert, Milwaukee, : was implicated in the dynamite" conspiracy."": Seifert, as.one of the 41 accused union officials, had waited weeks to testify and he was on the stand less than 20 mioutes . explaining what he meant by that phrase. About a month before an explo sion in Milwaukee on March 16, 1911, when a j)b" was damaged by dynamite with 150,000 Joss, Seifert took the place of William E. Rddiu, business agent of the Irou Workers' Union, sick for four days. During that time Seifert wrote a letter to John J . McNamara at Indianapolis. Using that phrase, the . witness said he referred to the efforts . to unionize th9 job. 'Seifert asserted he first learned of the explosion from newspapers. MoManigal confessed to having actually plac ed the explosive. - Reddin, also a defendant, testi fied that in response . to demands from the Iudianapolis headquar ters he 89nt information about construction work at Clinton, Iowa, .which, afterwards was blown up. He said McNamara also required him to forward news paper aooounts of explosions at Milwaukee and Greene-Bay, Wis. Whether the defendants, helped raise a fund for the defense of, the McNamara brothers at Los Angeles and whether they attempted to to ascertain whether the McNa maras were guilty, - were made points of inquiry in .the Govern ment's cross-examination of Re4" di, Jfijfr 'yhirlflkleum Minneapolis, Daniel Buokley, Davenport, Iowa, and Murray L. Pennell, Springfield, 111. - All repl ed they had urged con tributions to the fund bu they did not make an investigation "believing the MoNamaras were innocent until they pleaded guil ty." j; This line of inquiry was per mitted by the oourt ou .jthe ground that The Los Angeles Times' ex plosion was part of the general conspiracy in which the present defendants are alleged to have been implicated.

Keep Tour Mouth Clean The mouth is the most neglect ed and ill kept organ of the hu man body. Some authorities as sert that our neglected and mis used mouths are responsible for more human ills and loss of work ing efficiency than any other one organ in the body. Care of the teeth can not be. taught too soon. Children in sohool should be taught the oare and proper use of the "human grinding machine " This is particularly true where ohil. dren are not taught a few simple, regular habits about cleaning and brushing the teeth at home, Tooth brush drills are a regular oourte in some of our city schools.
