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 y Miss Lewis who will spend a wee J or more with her at Parade. any-fir u - ?V ' 'S No. M (ON STATES S CANDIDATE E-NOMINATION jpinentB, however, have shown that he people do not believe In the two term policy In ita application to all county officers, and the last county invention, presumably expressing he sentiment of the people, absolute y disregarded the two term policy, ind returned all of the candidates lo offices who had been serving for more than two terms. 1 do not beleve therefore, that the majority of he people desire that I should alone le held to the two term policy. 1 made my promise to the people nowever. and I (eel that the people alone can free me from this promise. 1 cannot, therefore, in rood conscience make a personal ' j Ight for the office, but as a great nany are urging me, I will deeply ippreciate the support and assistance of all friends In their effort to give me the nomination. If a majority of the people aay the two term policy should apply Lo me alone, 1 am ready to step down and out, with assurance of sppreciatlon of the confidence heretofore reposed In me, and the honor conferred upon. If, however, my friends want me to have the office again, and do not feel it Is fair to hold the two term policy against me and not against all of the other county officers. 1 will greatly appreciate their support, will accept the nomination, and will continue to serve them to the very beat of my ability. I now leave the matter entirely in the handa of my friends. I know that they will do what is right and assuring them that I will be entirely satisfied with whatever d...'position they may see fit to make of same. Yours truly, E. R. MIXON 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.
