asmuch as the new auditorium is
near completion, Raleigh make a bid
for some of the conventions at once.
He moved that Invitations be extend
ed the State Federation of Women's
Club in session at Asheville and the
North Carolina Funeral Directors
and Embalmers' Association in ses
sion at High Point to hold thoir next
conventions in Raleigh. The idea
met with hearty approval and Acting
Clerk Wilson was Instructed to send
telegrams to the meetings inviting
them to gather here next year. Dr,
Delia Dixon-Carroll and Mr. F. P.
Brown wil lpresent Raleigh's claims.
Hillsboro Street Bridge.
The clerk read a letter from Mr.
H. H. Carr, general manager of the
Carolina Power & Light Company,
with reference to the Hillsboro street
bridge. A copy of the letter will be
sent to the proper Seaboard Air Line
authorities. No motion was taken
on the matter at this time, but it
will probably come up Friday night.
The letter follows:
"An inspection of the Hillsboro
street bridge demonstrates the fact
that the stringers under the tracks
. of the Carolina Power & Light Com
pany are, to some extent, defective.
The upper surfaces of the stringers
have became decayed and, to some
extent at least, the strength of same
has been weakened.
"In view of the fact that cars of
this Company, containing passengers,
go over this bridge every few min
utes during the day and one-half
of the night, and the safety of the
passengers and employees of this
Company depends upon maintaining
the strength of these stringers un
impaired, I consider it my duty to
call upon you to replace these string
ers with new and sound timber; or,
if it is practicable to do so, to re
verse the present : stringers and
strengthen them so as to provide ab
solute safety to passengers and em
ployees of this Company in crossing
the Hillsboro street bridge.
"You are aware that the contract
between this Company and the city
of Raleigh provided that the city
ihall strengthen and ' maintain all
bridges etc., crossed by the cars of
this Company; and that this con
tract was entered into by this Com
pany and the city of Raleigh for
valuable consideration on both sides.
"Your immediate attention is call
ed to this matter, and you are urged
to replace the present worn stringers
with new timbers. The safety of the
citizens of Raleigh is involved; and
no chance should be taken when that
is the case. A ; small amount of
money expended now will make this
bridge safe for some years; and this
Company calls the attention of the
city to the unwisdom of being over
economical in a matter upon which
the lives of your citizens depend." ;
NEW TRIAL NOT GRANTED.
Judge Whedbee Declines to Hear Mo
tionHarden Suit Being Heard.
Alleging that the defendant did
not have a fair trial, attorneys for
the Carolina Light and Power Com
pany today made a motion in Wake
superior court to set aside the verdict
of $1,200 given Mr. T. L. Hall by a
jury at the February term of court.
The court declined to hear the action
of the defendant and an appeal was
taken.
The court is still hearing the case
of Mr. Geo. M. Harden vs. Southern
Railway and Chesapeake & Ohio
Railroad, wherein the plaintiff asks
for damages in the sum of $1,100 for
alleged injuries to a car of horses
shipped from Lexington, Ky., to
Greensboro.

Stone ia Bladder Removed
Without Surgical Operation
In the spring of 1904, I was confined
to my bed with kidney trouble and
thought that I would never recover. I
took a lot of medicine but did not
realize any benefit from anything. I
finally saw Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root
advertisement and sent for a sample
bottle and thought the sample helped
me, so I bought more of the medicine
from my Druggist; and after using a
few bottles discharged a very large
stone from my bladder.,
After passing this stone my neaitn
was very much improved and I have
been able to continue my business
without any serious' sickness.

The native white married women
of native parentage In the districts
from which the returns were taken
had borne in the aggregate one child
every 6.3 years, while the women of
foreign parentage had borne one
every 3.2 years.
The first generation of the white
of foreign parentage, representing
the Immigrant women, had one child
every 3 years and the second genera
tion had one every 3.6 years.
Comparing the different nationali
ties, the fecundity is shown to be
greatest in the first general of Polish
women, who had on the average one
child every 2.3 years; also, that the
fecundity is least in the second gen
eration of English women, who had
on the average one child every five
years.'
Among American white women of
native parentage who had been mar-
ried from 10 to 20 years the average
number of children in Cleveland "and
In Mineapolis is exactly the same
2.4 and hardly differs from the av
erage in Rhode Island 2.5. The
average in those areas is lower by
1, or. nearly 1, than it is in rural
Ohio and In rural Minnesota, where
it is 3.4. In other words, in the
rural districts of Ohio and Minne
sota the women of native American
parentage who were in the second
decade of their married life had
borne on the average one more child
than the same class of women in the
cities of Cleveland -and Minneapolis
or in the State of Rhode Island,
which is largely urban.
As regards the women of foreign
parentage, the difference between an
urban and a rural environment is
not usually so marked, nor is it uni
form. As a rule, the average num
ber of children In each nationality
is highest . in rural Minnesota and
lowest in Minneapolis or Cleveland
or else in, Rhode Island. But there
are some exceptions. For the first
generation of Canadian English the
average number of children is as
great in Rhode Island as it is in
rural Minnesota. For the first gen
eration of Bohemians it is as great in
Minneapolis as it is in rural Minne
sota. The figures for the first gen
eration of Irish indicate that en
vironment has little effect upon their
fecundity. On the other hand, the
first generations of English, German
and Scotch, like the native Ameri
can stock, appear to have fewer chil
dren in the cities than in the country.
The percentage of women bearing
no children is much higher among
the native white of native parentage
than among the white of foreign
parentage. The percentage bearing
no children is higher in the second
generation of the white of foreign
parentage than in the first.
In Rhode Island of the native
white women of native parentage,
who had been maried between 19
and 20 years, 17,5 per cent, or more
than one woman in six, had borne
no children. The proportion of
white women of foreign parentage
who had borne no children was 8
per cent, or les sthan one woman in
12. The smalest percentages were
those for the French-Canadian and
Italian women, of whom only one
in 20, or about 5 per cent, have had
no children. The largest percentage
was that for native negro women, of
whom 22.5 per cent have had no

first generation. 7 -
Childlessness among negro women
in the North is one of the notable
facts brought out in the returns. In
Minneapolis 10.1 per cent of the ne
gro women bear no children'. Prac
tically the same percentage. 19.6 Is
shown for the city of Cleveland,
while in Rhode Island the percentage
was 23.1. . , "
. Of the white women of native pa
rentage included in the Rhode Is
land tabulation 58.7 per cent had
not had more than two children,
while of the white women of foreign
parentage the percentage was 26.9
only 9.2 per cent of the white women
of native parentage had more than
five children, while of the white
women of foreign parentage 35.4 per
cent had more than that ' number,
and the parentage of French Canad
ians with more than that number of
children was 54.2.
The French-Canadian Immigrants
are bearing children two and one
half times as fast as the native
American women. The Italian worn
en closely approach, but do not quite
equal the French-Canadians.
Of the native white women of na
tive parentage, married 10 to 19
years, residing in Cleveland, 15.2
per cent had borne no children, and
of white women of foreign parentage
the percentage was : ti.u. In the 48
largely rural counties in Ohio the
difference between those two classes
is not great, 5.7 per cent of the white
women of native parentage having
borne no children, as compared with
5.1 per cent of th ewhite women of
foreign parentage. For nearly all
classes the percentage of married
women bearing no children was larg
er in the city of Cleveland than in
the rural counties, but in the case ol
native white women the percentage
for Cleveland was nearly three times
as great. The smallest percentages
of childlessness in Cleveland were
shown by the Polish women, 2.4 per
cent, and by the Bohemian and Rus
sian women, 2.6 per cent; and the
largest by the French women, 23.5
per cent. In the rural counties the
smallest percentage was 1.9 for the
Swedish women, and the largest, 6.5,
for English-Canadian and English
women. ': "
Of the native white women of na
tive parentage in Cleveland 59.7 per
cent have had only one Or two chil
dren or none at all. The parentage
bearing more than five children was
6.3. For the. white women of for
eign parentage the corresponding
percentages 6!re 25.3 and 31.4.

' MONEY GOES BEGGING.

government cannot give it away; yet
none of the rightful owners can be
Induced to take It. It represents un
claimed Interest on the public debt.
Somewhere, In nooks and crannies, and
out of the way places, are the gov
ernment's interest checks for the
money, which have been- cashed. Some
of them never will be presented, oth
ers may be brought around In time,
and some are being held by cautious
Investors.
From time to time the treasury at
tempts to call In the checks, and the
vagaries of human nature are shown.
One citizen has more than 60,000 wait
ing for him, and holds the checks for
It. He was Invited recently to cash
in, and he made a trip to Washing
ton to tell treasury officials the checks
were his property; he would cash them
when he pleased, or burn them up If
he wished. If he does the latter his
money will be held In the vaults un
til congress, perhaps might dispose of
it. The treasury can do nothing but
keep' It.
The contractor who laid the first
pavement upon Pennsylvania--. Avenue,
from the capitol to the white house,
has $21,000 ..waiting for him. It has
been there many years, but the treas
ury never has been able to find the
rightful payee, as the contractor fail
ed and his affairs became involved In
litigation, which never has been settled.
The amounts of this seemingly own
erless fund ranges from thousands
down to a few cents. The smaller
amounts are all held for those who
owned government securities at some
time or other, and probably have for
gotten to collect their latest interest.
