Heretofore such statistics have been kept only In towns of cer t ; i a sizes. As this U a movement in behalf of better health con diikr.s the people ought to render every old In their power to assist the work of the statisticians. The statisticians will receive twenty-five cent for earh birth and death rec ord, and as there will be much in formation to collect, the work will bo worth the money.

Huntley of Wadesboro and estab lished himself in Chesterfield, lie was an excellent business man. .Mr. . Gulkdge had travelled all over this section of the country, and, lit Ins affable, pleasant and straight-forward with nil, he had made hosis of friends who esteemed hla friendship highly.

Davis, State superintend ent of thp anti-saloon league, who was convicted la Wake- superior court In Jul of assaulting Wiley Straughan with a lltiuor bottle. .Mr Davis produced affidavits from re sponsible pirsons that Straughan told them a few days after he got a bad lick on the head that he had no Idea who hit him. letter Straughan testified that Mr. Davis struck hliu with a bottle. Senators Simmons and Overman and Secretary of the Navy Daniels were among the hundreds of prom inent North Carolinians writ! ig to Governor Craig to grant the pnr- don. Other hundreds of letters came from persons outsido the State, Judge C. .M. Cooke und Solicitor 11. E. Norrls. nfter reading the affida vits, recommended, a pardon. There was no opposition. Mr. Davis appealed from a fine of $20 and costs Imposed In the po lice and Superior courts, but later withdrew the appeal and presented the question of guilt or Innocense to Governor Craig with the result that a pardon was granted Immediately after hearing fully Into the caso. Houston's (treat Qualifications. Boston Herald. In common with most of the newspapers. The Herald haa had oc casion to criticise Mr. Bryan's con duct of the State department, and occasionally that of other members ef the cabinet. H U with peculiar pleasure, therefor, that we can any of David F. Houston, the present secretary of agriculture, that be Is, in the opinion of those who know, the best man ever assigned, to that place since it became a cabinet of fice. The executive committeemen of the association of college and experimental stations, having the welfare of scientific agriculture .at heart, recently had occasion to con fer with the new secreary. and on their return to the hotel, in the words of one of them, "we pinched ourselves to see if we were walking on earth, so queer was the seasa tlon of dealing with a secretary of agriculture who had a definite and intelligent policy, whose aims were scientific and whose grasp of the situation was comprehensive. Secreary Houston Is establishing many great reforms. He has dee-id ed to have the department attempt nothing which the experiment sa tions ami other State ugem-ies cm do to belter advantage. This will cut out an enormous duplication cf effort. The so-called "extension v.uk." like the teaching of farm era by praetieal demonstrations, will be turned over to those agencie local and commercial, which are ready to do It on the ground. The new secretary has no desire to cov er the earth, regardless of what other agencies are doing, merely for the sake of inflating the pay roll cr or aggrandizing the federal depart nielrt. Dr. Houston has also reorgan! ed the publishing system of the el. partnient, establishing a national Journal cf agricultural science, which will be nude the velik-lc of acquainting the world with the dis eoverits of his experimenters. lie has called to i's editorial service some of thet abksi experts in the country. He is cutting out certain sensational endeavors, originally ele sinned for popularizing the depart nient, but having no place in a gov eminent-maintained Institution. The right man is in the right place. Dr. Houston's training has been most, admirablp. At the head of agricultural experiment stations his meritorious work led to his se lection for the presidency of Wash Uigtou university at. St. Louis, which W Infie ld S. Chaplin, formerly or Harvard, was at un earlier period the head. And from that pest Dr Houston was last sprint, tru.isfer. red to Washington. The departincn Is a big scientific work shop, the irgest in the world. It needed just such a man, and the president to be given cre-elit of finding htm And Incidentally Houston saved us from Obadlali Gardner. MB. KLI, IUVKXS KILLED.

Long went to the Win chester family reunion near Mineral Spring last week and made a num ber of group pictures of Mr. G. It. Winchester and his family. All of the eight of Mr. and Mrs. Winches ter's children were present, except one, Mrs. T. C. Halgler, who lives In Goose Creek township and the weather was too bad for her to get there. Twenty - eight grand chil dren were present and there waa enough dinner for twice the hun dred people who were out. There would have been many more except for the bad weather. Music was furnished by the Winchester string band and the day was a most pleas ant occasion. Slunk From a Street I .a nip Took His Ufe Instantly LaM Wrdnv- lny Xkjlit. Hapiiened in the PreMBce .r His Wife and Little Children. No doubt everybody In the count v has heard before this of the fear ful tragedy In Monroe last We-dues- day night when the Ufe of Mr. E H. Blvens, manager of the Monroe Oil Mill, went out like a flicker and he dropped dead in the pres. ence of his wife and little children. with his hand on a chain which sus pended a street lamp. Though almost a week has elaps ed t"e horror and scock of the news is yet upon the community. The arc light situated In front of the mill eft ice had flickered out As he had often done before, Mr. Bivens caught the chain that sus pends U to give It a shake to start the even flow of light. Somehow that chain was at the moment charged with a powerful current of electricity, and no sooner had he touched it than he screamed, and fell dead. No doubt he realized what had happened In the awirt flash be fore consciousness had departed, but there was no time for suffering. Mrs. Bivens and the three little boys who were present, and their screams quickly brought the aid of Mr. T. C. Lee and other neighbors but alas! there was nothing left for them to do but to tenderly take up the body and bear It home. Hie fatal hour was about half past seven. During that day Mr. Bivens had been seeing to getting the mill ready to start up the next day for its first run of the season. With the attachment fcr his busi ness and the constant care which he always gave It, he had walked down to the mill after supper with his wife and children to take n final look to see that everything was all right. As they left the mill and started home the tragedy took place. Only a few minutes before the fatal touch of Mr. HI veils to the chain the night watchman had been along and given the chain a shake Just as Mr. Bivens did, though he had felt no shock. Mr. Bivens was one of the best known and most respecteel young men of the town. He was a son of Mr. E. J. Bivens and was reared at the old home seven miles from Monroe, and was 3tl years old. He had lived In Monroe twelve years and, hf.l been connected with the Oil Mill all that time, first as sec- re'ary, and Inter as general mana ger. Ten years ago last May he was m.trrird o Ylw -A!Vp ilari 'i. daughter of Mr. J. I). Marsh of Marshvllle township, and she with their three little hoys survives htm. The parents of Mr. Bivens live to mourn his death as the first one of their three sons nnd six daugh ters. The surviving brothers and sisters are Messrs. Blair Bivens of Monroe, and Curtis Livens of Bla me, und Mrs. T. C. Lee, Mrs. Lee Griffin. Mrs. J. A. Kldd and Miss Pat Bivens of Monroe nnd Mrs. J. Hamilton of Winston and Mrs. John Culp cf Remington, Vu.. and Mrs. W. T. Gregory of Guess, S. C. Mr. Bivens was an honest and .!r:ilshtforvtird man through and through, lip was quiet and unas sumiiig in his demeanor and he wculd not do a little or moan thing He had not only the confidence h!a employers but the este?m and respect of the public with which he did business. He was kind and gentle in till his ways and did his duty day by day with the care and precision of clock work. He was a member of the Methodist church 1 he funeral was held at the res idence on Thursday by Dr. Weaver, and the gloom of the cloudy and ainy rlny that wrapped the earth was nothing to that which shroud ed the hearts of the stricken fain lly, the friends and tho ncquulntan s generally who had known Kill son II.

It was not charged a few minutes before, be- causo another man had touched it It was not charged the next morn- Inr for Mr. Henry Crow, manager of the city light plant, touched It. Nay, It could have been charged only at the moment of contact wi'h Mr. BivTr.s hands for the reason that had there been a continuous current on he could not have turn- loos. As it was his hands drop ped liHtantly from the chiin. The only way that Mr. Crow can account for the current is on the supposi tion that when Mr. Bivens gave the chain a hard Jerk, as he did, the lamp Jumped so high that Ju?.t In tho moment of relaxation the insula tor at the end of the chain revolv ed und permitted the chain to hit the top of the lamp. A Model Dairy. Those who winh to see how niodera dairy is conducted can have that pleasure by visiting Lee Park Dairy, owned by the Fowler Iee lompany and managed by Mr. T W. Maness. The dairy U situated oa a beautiful, well drained, hill in the rear of Lee Park, and Is built of lumber that waa cut from large pine trees on the hill where the buildings s'and. The plant Is at present a thirty cow oue, to be In creased easily cs desired. A beauti ful six-room bungalow Is the man ager's home and running Iji a line to tne east on the crest of the hill are the buildings used in the busi ness. The cow barn contains thir ty latest patent steel stanchions where the milking and feedinit are done and Is white Inside with ce ment floor throughout, water flush ed and as clean as a floor. Noth ing whatever is kept fci this place except uie cows it u ring milking and reeeiing. The milk is handled in the best possible way. At one end of this Sfx-tlon is the dry feed houte and at tn other Is the silo, now full of high grade ensilage just cut. The separate milk house is ulso ce ment floored, eon iimed with hot and cold water and movable vats. There is plenty of water from bored wells, which is lifted by air pump, with furnace for heating. Power is se cured from the electric ulnnt In .Monroe. At present native grad- cows ore used and a pure Jersey nun u Kept. The capacity can be increased at will by using better ccwa when they are procurable and oy ttie simple addition of more stanchions. The whole ulant is modern and based upon the best ideas. Mr. G. S. Lee has civen the subject a great deal cf study and nns produced a creditable plant, de signed at present to take care of loe'a(l business In the most economi cal and labor saving way. Another thing that Mr. Lee is working on that will be very pretty and Interesting Is the creatlcn of a lake. Between (he ball park and the dairy is a ravine with a number of lasting cold, springs. This spot is being converted Into a lake which will be supplied by the springs with eleer lasting water, and will be sonit fifteen or more feet deep. It has already been partially stocked with tun. ed Come In and see the handsome I premiums the Journal gives you. Boy Fulls Front Balloon to Dentil a .Ct)l Watch. Woodstock. Conn., Sept. 16.
