The plan dutalled Is 10 connect these three towns with electric rail ways, thin small Hystem serving as hut the 'nucleus of a ny?teni which will, in the near future, develop Into a system tupping the Beaboard Air Line, either at Calhoun Kalis, Abbe vlllo or Greenwood, and extending to Charlotte, N.

Introduces Resolution in House to Permit Inspection Census Returns. Kcpreaenlat ive Lever has Intro duced a joint resolution, the purpose of which in to permit an inspection of the original returns of the census enumerators, as such returns relate to the population. "This resolution," said Mr. Lever, "comes as the result of numerous complaints from towns and cities as to their population as shown by the census report. Of course, the "Census figures cannot now be changed, but the principle which permits the Di rector of tho Census to conceal from the public the enumerators' returns, a matter of such wide public Inter est. is wrong and calculated to he wrongfully used. These returns should be available for public inspec tion, and there is no reason which appeals to nte for regarding '.hem as secret. The Director of the Census Koes to the extent of refusing to al low a member of Congress permis sion to see these returns, and only such a resolution as I utn introducing and hope to pass will give the public the light to which it is entitled."

This action is In accord with j the decreased operation of New Kng land and other Southern operators and results, it was announced, from | the low prices which are paid for the finished product.

NURSE TELLS OF SKIN CURES "I have Been tho Cutlcura Kemedlen used with best results during the past twenty years In my work as a nurse, many wkiti dlseaso cases came under my observation, and In every in fctnnce, xl always recommended the Cutlcura Remedies as they always gave entire satisfaction. One ease in particular was that of a lady friend of mine who, when a child, was af flicted with eczema which covered her face and hands entirely, breaking out at intervals with severer torture. She could not go to school as the disfigure ment looked terrible. I told her to get at once a set of Cutlcura Remedies. After the use of only one Bet she was perfectly well, "A frown lady friend was afllicted with salt rheum In one of her thumbs, and she was cured by the Cutlcura Remedies. Still another lady had dry salt rheum In both palms of her hands every fall of the year. They used to be so painful she could scarcely wot her hands until hIih began to use tho Cutlcura Remedies .which curcd her, I have also Been them cure children of ringworm. Tho children's faccs would be all circles and rings around the cheeks, and the neck ,and after treatment with the Cutlcura Soap and Ointment they wero completely cured. My husband had rheumatism on his arm and I used the Cutlcura Oint ment. It made his arm as limber and nice, whereas it was quite stiff before I began to apply tho Ointment. "Last May I had an Ingrowing too nail which was very painful, as tho side of tho nail was edging right down in the side of my too. 1 cut the nail out of the cavity It made, and of course applied the Cutlcura Oint ment to the part affected. It soothed II and In less than ten nights it was all healed through constant use of the Olntmont. Ten days ago I had my left hand and wrist burned with boll, lng lard, and Cutlcura Ointment ha> completely cured them. I have Just recommended tho Cutloura Remedies to another friend, and she Is pleased with tho results and Is recovering nicely.

Through ml?unrt#?r standing of orders or by reckleus dl? recgard of tho necessary rules* ol operations, foreign-born workmen, without actually experience tu mining, who are enruployed In largo number* in this work, often imperil not only their own lives, but also tho lives ol trained and experienced workers, ac cording to a bulletin In "Fatal Acci dents in Coal Mluing, The figures citied are principally for th* decade eiyling for 1908, dur lng which period the number of fata) accidents In the coal mines of North America was 29,298, and the rate per 1,000 employes In'the industry wan 3.11. During the decade euded in 1906, the latest for which figures for other coal mining countriea were available, the average fatality rate in North Amerloa, says the report, wan 3.13 per 1,000. " This, it Is said, war decidedly higher than the fatality rate In othpr important cofcl flelda of the world. ? ? ? "The full extent of the risk In coal mining In North America," the recoprt continues, "Is, however, not clearly shown by these figures for the coal fluids us h whole, hut consideration must ho given to the rates for each geographical section. TheBe show that In the East Central section, which comprises Western Kentucky, Illinois and Indiana, the fatality rate for the 20 years ending with 1908 was only 2,20 per 1,000 employes, while In the Western section (Colo daro, New Mexico and Utah) It was 6.4 per 1,000, and in the Pacific Coast section (Washington and British Co lumbia) 7 per cent 1,000. 'it would appear that the variation in the fatality rates is due to dif ferent. mining methods and to dif ference j In the coal seams." While the fluctatlons In the rate from year to year have been con siderable, the bulletin continues since 1S99, it has never fallen as low as 3 per 1,000. An im]>ortant relation to the number of fatalities is the length of mine experience and the bulletin cites that of the 1,669 persons killed in West Virginia in the 10 year period ending with 1908, one-fifth had work ed less than one year in the mine. "Mining methods in the United States" says the report in concluding, "are often crude, and safety precau tions are either disregarded or not used. Child labor laws have been, and still are, indifferently complied with in many StateB and a number of fatalities o?cur each year among i-.'hlldren at an age when they should be in school. In 1908, 10 children of | 13 und 14, and 13 children of 15 years i were among those whose deaths in | the mines were recorded in the offl j clal reports."

FIGHTING THE WHITE PLAGUE Educational Posters by the Thousand to Be Displayed All Over United States. During the next three months, the Dill boards of the United States will display 20,000 educational posters on tuberculosis, according to an an nouncement made by the National As sociation for the Study and Preven tion of Tuberculosis. This will conclude the campaign be gun a year ago, when the National Bill Posters' association donated free space to the tuberculosis cause, the Poster Printers' association offered free printing, and nine papor manu facturers gave the paper for the post ers. The combined value of these sov oral donations for this three-month campaign Is nearly $100,000. The posters are In six different de signs and are all printed in three col ors. They are seven feet wide and nine feet high. Already nearly 2,500 of these posters have been hung on the bill boards 6f 40 different cities, and it Is planned to distribute 20,000 more before April 1 In over 400 towns and cities. Any anti-tuberculosis so- ? clely In the United States may re ceive free of charge, except for trans portation, as many of these posters as can be hung on the boards in Its ter ritory. The National association with the tuberculosis committee of the Na tional Billposters and Distributors are' conducting the campaign. The posters show in graphic form how fresh air, good food, and rest cure tuberculosis; how bad air, over work and closed windows lead to con sumption; and how the careless con sumptive menaces the health of his family by spiiting on the floor.
