ACTION IS NOT SPOILS SYSTEM PRESIDENT WILSON TELLS WHY DEPUTY COLLECTORS ARE BEING CHANGED. Washington, Oct. 30 By direction of President Wilson, Commissioner of Internal Revenue Osborn tonight in structed collectors throughout the coun try that the recent action of "Con gress in removing deputy collectors from the protection of the civil ser vice did not mean a return to the spoils system and was done only for the sake of efficiency. In a letter to collectors Mr. Osborn said: "Collectors are advised that the ob ject of this provision of law is effi ciency and only efficiency, and that any tendency to use this class of ap pointments merely for personal re ward, or for anything that savors of the spoils system, will be regarded as a yery serious disregard of public duty. ' "Hereafter when vacancies In this class of officers occur or changes are contemplated and before such vacan cies are filled or such changes are affected, collectors will forward to this office the names of the persons whom it is desired to appoint, togeth er with a statement of their qualifi cations and records. No appointment in this class of officers shall hereafter be made by collectors without the ap provabof the department.' ' DESTROYERS TO CHARLESTON Thra Torpedo Boat Destroyers to Do Reserve Duty.

KEEPING AN EYE MEXICO President Wilson Is Eating For The Atmosphere To Be Clarified. WON'T ACT JUST NOW Is Working On Plan Which He Hopes Will Solve The Trouble. Washington, Oct. 31. President Wil son let it be known today that he was waiting for affairs to take definite shape in Mexico as a result of the election last Sunday and that the United States gov ernment would not act until informed in detail of what took place at the polls. Recently the President, in a note to the Mexican foreign office, transmitted by Charge O'Shaughnessy, declared that the election of October 26 would not be considered constitutional by the United States. How long the United States will wait for the returns is not known. It is believed that several days, perhaps weeks, will elapse before the Huerta government, handicapped by difficulties of communication, will be able officially tq record the result, though November 10 was the day set for counting the ballots. No positive informatibn as to this government's future course was di vulged at the White House. The Presi dent informed those who discussed the situation with him that he had not decided whether the next step would be made by words or action. He is at work on a plan from which he hopes to solve the troubles of Mexico. One of its features is a formal statement of the aims and purposes of the United States its stand against the influence of material interests, in Latin-American affairs, its devotion to the cause of constitutional government of this hemisphere and its belief that a fair and free election with safeguards and guarantees must be held in order to establish a legal authority in the southern republic This statement of the government's attitude, already outlined in the Presi dent's speeches at Mobile and Swarth more, in all probability will be communi cated to Mexico and a copy of these views transmitted to foreign govern ments generally, as ah expression of policy by the Washington administra tion. Whether the statement of the gov ernment's policy will be addressed to John Lind or Charge O'Shaughnessy for presentation to the Huerta administra tion is not apparent. It has been suggest ed that future communications also may be addressed in some way to the constitutionalists, thereby recognising them as a factor in the problem of pacification. In official circles there was no definite information current on the administra tion's plans. Many conversant with the situation insisted that any new plan must have as Its fundamental basis some method of eliminating HuetJ be fore the constitutionalists would ever coaeeat to talking peace or elections. STATE AUDUBON SOCIETY SENDS OUT USEFUL INSTRUCTIONS. The following communication, with a request for publication, has been re receiyed by the Journal from J. W. Ches hire, secretary of the Audubon Society of North Carolina. On October 1st the President ap proved regulations drawn up by the United States Department of Agri culture at the direction of Congress, by the terms of which the Federal Govern men assumes control of all migratory game and insectivorous birds and fixes closed seasons for the species affected. Laws enacted by the several States can lengthen but cannot shorten these closed seasons fixed by Federal law. Following is a synopsis of the closed seasons set for "Zone 2," which includes North Carolina. Regulation 2. A daily closed season on all migratory game and insectivor ous birds shall extend from sunset to sunrise. Regulation 3. There shall be a per petual closed season on the following migratory insectivorous birds, and on all other perching -birds which feed entirely or chiefly on insects: Boblinks, catbirds, chickadees, cuckoos, flickers (yellow hammers), flycatchers, gros beaks, humming birds, kinglets, mar tins, meadowlarks, nighthawks or bull bats, nuthatches, brioles, robins, shrikes, swallows, swifts, tanagers, tit mice, thrushes., vireos, warblers, wax wings whippoorwills woodpeckers and wrens. . Regulation 4. A closed season shall continue until September 1 1918 on the following migratory game birds: Band-tailed pigeons little brown sand hill and whooping cranes swans, curlew and all shore birds except the black breasted and golden plover Wilson or jacksnipe woodcock and greater and lesser yellow legs. Regulation 9. (For the purpose of this regulation each period of time herein prescribed as a closed season shall be construed to include the first day and to exclude the last day thereof.) Closed seasons: Waterfowl February 1 November 1 Woodcock January 1 November f. Rails Coots Callinules December 1 September I, Shore birds: - . The closed season on black-breasted and golden plover, jacksnipe or Wilson snipe, and greater and lesser yellow legs shall be December 16 September 1. It will be noted that the regulations make it a violation of the Federal laws to kill at any time meadowlarks or robins, which are recognized by our State laws as game birds 'and have open seasons fixed in which they may be hunted and killed. Now that oor supreme government has undertaken to protect our birds, those of us who are thoughtless enough to disregard the provisions set forth above, had better look out for Uncle Sam's Federal Court. Congress has taken this step to pie serve to us and to future generations, ou insectivorous birds, because it has been conclusively proven that without the keeping down of pestiferous bug and insect life by the birds, this world would soon become uninhabitable; and because the rapid decrease of our mi gratory game birds makes it evident that uniform seasons, in which they may be killed, having regard for zones of "temperature, breeding habits and migration, are necessary to prevent their total extinction. Accordingly, it behooves ns to further our own interests and comfort by sup porting this wise measure and by en couraging our neighbors tb follow our example. J. W. CHESHIRE, Secretary, MAY NOT BE NAMED NORTH CAROLINA. Washington, Oct. 31. Battleship No. 39, which will be built at the New York navy yard, probably will be named for Arizona, and New Mexico, the two newest States, are the only ones which have no war vessel named for them. For some time it has been regarded as certain in naval circles that Mr. Daniels, the Secretary of the Navy, would name battleship No. 39 the North Carolina, after his native State. Acting on this assumption, residents of the cities of that State have en gaged in a bitter fight to have the name of the' present -armoured cruiser North Carolina, now in reserve at the Boston navy yard, changed Raleigh Charlotte and Winston-Salem have been the principal contenders. COLORED FAIR. This is the week of the colored Fair and we hope the negroes will have bet ter weather than that of last week. The negroes of the State are slowly, but surely, making progress and we wish them every success. The Newt and- Observer observes that the negro Fair held there last week was much better than it has ever been previously Everything connected with it showed that the negro was making progress In their dress they showed they were more prosperous than of old and alsoJ that they are acquiring a much-needed pride in such matters. We are glad to see the negroes making good. It is to the interest of the White people that they do. Malaria of Chills & Fever Prescription No MS h prepared pecisUly at MALARIA or CHILLS FCVIR.

" I feel it a duty I owe to all offering women to tell what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound did for me. One year ago I found myself a terrible suf ferer. I had pains in both sides and sush a soreness I could scarcely straighten up at times. Hy back ached, I had no ap petite and was so nervous I could not sleep, then I would be so tired mornings that I could scarcely get around. It seemed almost impossi ble to move or do a bit of work and I thought I never would be any better un til I submitted to an operation. I com menced taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg etable Compound and soon felt like a new woman. I had no pains, slept well, had good appetite and was fat and could do almost all my own work for a family of four. I shall always feel that I owe my good health to your med icine. "-Mrs. Haywaju) Sowers, Cary, Mains. If you are 111 do not drag along until an operation la necessary, out at once take Lydia E.
