NEW
TREASURER MD
fflS POSITION A
FOR HIS R
In yesterday's Daily News over the t
signature of Mr. 8. F. Freeman he \
asked Mr. E. R. Mlxon what was his 1
position as to his candidacy for re- <
nomination as County Treasurer. <
The editor of this paper stated that 1
he had Interviewed Mr. Mlxon and I
that he stated that he would give i
his "auly later. Below will be found 1
Mr. Mlxon's reply to our inquiry and 'i
Mr. Freeman's letter: 1
Washington, N. C-, June 11, '14. t
Mr. 8. F. Freeman, 1
City.
Dear Sir:?1 have received your ]
letter and have also read a copy of ]
same In the Daily News, and comply- ]
lng with your request, 1 take this j
method of replying to same. 1
I am sorry that it has become nec- r
essary for me to have anything to i
say In the newspapers, but the de- 1
mand for the last few days that I 1
publicly state my position, has been
so urgent, that now, since you have 1
published your letter to me, I do not I
see how I can do otherwise. So, I i
will now try to state my position In j
this matter.
Four years ago, when I ran for i
the office of County Treasurer, I
.looked the situation over carefully, i
got all the Information I could, and
'was convinced from what I saw and ;
learned, that the prevailing sentiment
among the people at that time
in reference to uounty pontics, was
two terms In office, and that this policy
would be adopted that year, and
all iue county officers required to
abide strictly by this rule.
I therefore made my campaign
"on a two term policy, and personally
I am still willing to live up to this
rule If the people see fit to enforce
<t with respect to all the county officers.
Time and subsequent develActivities
Of Birds
Conservers
Washington, D. C.?New light la
'shed on the activities of birds as
ponservers of the public health in a
communication to the National Geographic
Society at Washington, D. C.
from Henry W. Henshaw, Chief of
the Biological Survey. The Survey
for a considerable period has been
studying the foods of birds by ex
amlnlng the stomachs of specimens
killed for scientific purposes,
"The value of birds to the farmer
Is plain enough, but we do not usually
think of birds as having any direct
relation to the public health."
writes Mr. Henshaw. "To prove
that they do. however. It Is only necessary
to state that 600 mosquitoes
have been .found In the stomach of a
single night-hawk; that In a killdeer's
stomach hundreds of the lar-1
vae of the salt-marsh mosquito have
been found, and that many more
shore birds greedily devour mosquito
larvae. As mosquitoes are known
to carry the germs of such serious
diseases qe typrotd, malaria, and
dengue fever it is evident that by
destroying such germs the birds are
conferring a distinct benefit on man.
It may be added that not infrequently
ticks are eaten by birds, and that
. the tick which is responsible for the
. spread of Texas fever among cat*
. tie has been frequently found in the
Btomach of bobwhite.
, "In considering the many kinds
I of birds in the United States from
the practical side, they may not Inaptly
be called a police force of the
j air, the chief duty of Which is to re5
strain within bounds the hordes of
insects that If unchecked would dct
Tour every green thing. To accomt
plish this task successfully, the mem

i As The
Of Public Health
hers of the force must be variously
equipped. As the bulk of Insect*
'spend more or less time on the
ground, we find mare birds are fit'ted
for terreatial service than for any other.
Our largest-bird family, the
sparrows, is chiefly terreatial. It
is ably aided in its search for Insects
by the thrushes, wrens certain
of the warblers and many other
birds. So many Insects burrow into
the trees that a highly specialized *
class of birds?the woodpeckers?
have been developed to dig them
out. The bills, tongues, feet and
even tallB have been sunnlngly adapt
. ed to tMs end. The bark of treeH
also forms a favorite shelter for numerous
iusects, and behold the wrens
nuthatches, warblers, creepers, with
sharpest of eyes and slenderest of
bills. The air is full of flytng in
sects, ana to taite care or meae mere
are the swallows, swifts, and nightrhawks,
whose wings and bodies areso
shaped a sto endow them with-ttoe>
speed and agility necessary to follow
all the tarns and windings of
their nimble Insect prey. The whip- A
poorwills attend to the night-flying
insects when most birds are asleep,
while the hawks by day and the owls
by night supplement the work of
other birds and have a special func- ,3
tlon of their own, the^ destruction
of noxious rodents. ,1
"Last but least important may
be mentioned the element of safety
from cats. Friendly overtures to
the birds from householders who regard
tabby as a necessary member
of the family are not likely to be sue
cessful, or if so the experiment is apt
to end in the death of the confiding
birds. Birds and cats do not thtive
i in the same neighborhood."
