"""" ' IIHllf T mi 1 1 II Ceil; 8U Director Durand Establishes A Classification of The Compensation of Census Takers. Washington, D. c. January 22, 1910. The varying wage scales in different parts of the country and the differences in the nature and extent of the local difficulties confronting the enumerators in the larger geographical divisions of the United States have influ enced and guided United States Census Director Durancl in the adoption of a classification of enumerators' rates of compen sation, within the limits prescrib ed by the United States Census law enacted by Congress. The different classes of rates will be so applied that in general "ic ovciaKccilUliiciatyi vviii etui o.,u 4. ,7 . substantially tne same actual amount in one district as in an other, even though the popula tion may be much sparser in one than in the other, with other conditions also different. Re- gctiu is pam to me lac uihl pre- vailing wages and salaries are j try man in otneis, uui, asiue from this, the Director's aim is to adjust the rates so as to make the earnings of enumerators substantially uniform. Where the per capita rates would not give sufficient pay, the per diem rates are prescribed. The rates in general will be so adjusted as to give a slightly higher average j amount to the enumerators than they received in 1900. ! Per diem rates of pay will be i paid to the census enumerators in the sparsely settled rural dis- i rnVtc nf An' fUfnrmV, ! Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. The rate will range from $5 to $6 per day for the enumeration of the rural areas outside of cities and towns Six dollars is the highest rate authorized by law The Director realizes that in many districts of the far West it will be impossible to secure com petent men to act as enumerators at a rate of compensation less than that being paid for ordi nary classes of work in the same area. Were enumerators in such districts paid only on the per capita basis, their compensa tion would be unreasonably low. The enumerators in the thinly inhabited country sections of North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Kansas also will be compensated on a per diem basis. Certain diffiult or sparse- ltr QPf-.t.lpd pnnmp.ration districts w sfatp will hP included ! among those to which the per diem rates will apply, as the con-! f?nof thP fimimeration will I 111 uuww. ..... ' Vi ; be such that an enumerator could not make fair earnings at anyof the per capita rates estab - lished. This announcement was made bv Census Director Durand to- day, in order to counteract the , deterreni; enect upon applica tions for enumerators' places in the far West and Southwest states of the widely circulated and erroneous statement that per capita rates of pay were to be given in the sparsely populated regions named. THE CLASSIFICATION OF RATES. !

The per diem rates range from $3 to S3. 50, $4. $4.50, $5, $5,50. and 6, and are to be pad for a day of eight hours' work. For enumerators on the per capita basis, which will be that most widely used, the pay for each inhabitant is: Class A, 2 cents; class B, 2h cent-,; class C. 3 cents; class D, 3i cents; and class E, 4 cents. Such enumera tors will also be paid for each farm as follows: Class A, 20 cents; class B, 22h cents; class C, 25 cents; class D, 27h cents; and class E, 30 cents. These rates are in each case 5 cents or more higher than those paid in 1900, when the range was from 15 to 20 cents. For each estab lishment of productive industry the rate for each class is 30 cents.

Along all other lines of im provement, in North. Carolina nothing is more marked than I that of the newspapers, daily land weekly. A few year3 ago, speaking generally, they were a shiftless set, only half-readable, poorly printed, ekeing out a bare existence, run only for other folks and these "other folks," mostly ingrates. Now all is changed. The news paper business is respectable, the editor makes v a living and pays his debts, because his debtors pay him in money not in promises. The business folks know his space is "buyable" so they buy it and pay for it, they jn tUrn making the most out of tne trade. The paper is readable, ft is neatly printed, has lots of like guessing and it is a pleasure for the subscriber to be handed his home newspaper. Its all a good sign and we are heart and i , , . . , , . , . soui giaa at tne oraer oi tnmgs. And as to our dalies-they are taking their place side by side with the best in the rank. Hur- rah for North Carolina anyhow and everyhow! -Rockingham November was the coldest as well as the wettest month in the below that of any previous month on record. SHOULD STOP THE SUIT. An interstate question has arisen between Rhode Island and North Carolina that is likely ; i. - 1 - J . . 1 1 1 to create Daa ieenng ana naa better have been avoided. North i Carolina, in common with most' of the other Southern States, ! cnose to repuoiate more or less of her State debt created during the reconstruction period. The private holders of these repudiat ed bonds cannot sue upon them, but a portion were given as a free gift to the State of South Dakota, and that State brought suit against North Carolina, which the Superior Court sus tained. Another batch of these bends, to the amount of $484,000, has ' come into the possession of the State of Rhode Island. Its Leg islature accepted them and made legal action for their collection incumbent on the State Treasurer who has notified North Carolina o C Rhode Island's claim. Wheth er the bonds should have been repudiated or not is altogether independent of the question whether Rhode Island should sue or not. Should a state rnakej itself a collecting agency for bad j debts? Should it allow itself to be used by individuals to do what the latter are forbidden to do? We think that States should be suable for just claims, but where that is forbidden the several Commonwealths themselves should not go into the business of taking title to repudiated bonds and then bring suit against another State. South Dakota did not cut a very enviable figure in its suit, and Rhode Island has reason to be ashamed of its un- aerating. ine rawer orancn i j i mi -i l oi tne legislature nas, m lact, repented and passed a repealing bill intended to stop the suit, but the Senate has not thus far shown a disposition to co-operate. It was hoped that when the Gov ernor of Rhode Island met the Governor of North Carolina at the House of Governor's at Washington the little difficulty between the two States might be amicably adjusted. It is small business, and the Senate of Rhode Island had better fall in with the House proposition on1 nr lof f-haf Stjto'c nif I against North Carolina go any further. Philadelphia Press.

There is nothing new in say ing that woman is an enigma, a charming contradiction, an en trancing perplexity. If she were not all that, and if man knew all her moods and tenses, what would she amount to? Since the dawn of time much of her fasci nation, aside from external loveli ness, has lain in her hopelessly illogical inconsistency. Note this item from Lancaster: -At the annual convention of the Lancaster County School Directors' Association, a resolu tion was introduced forbidding the directors to employ teachers t thosa who refrained from wearing wings and breasts of birds on their hats, but the reso lution was unanimously defeated. Now the women of this land live been steadfastly opposed to gunning. They have seen some thing more than ruthlessly cruel against the sport enjoyed by their male kin. It is true, they have relented at times and even condescended to eat a baby squab not to mention canvas back, red bead, Or any winged fowl but in the main their ten der sensibilities are hurt by the male prowess with a gun. The birds of the air should be protect ed. They are the most delight ful of things. That is why the women have protested against their slaughter. And that, perhaps, is why they ! wear them on their hats. If it were not for this incon- j siste'rit feminine devotion to fine j feathers on fine hats there would j be a vastly diminished killing of j birds and ' beast.
