Bowie had a chance But Bowie made a strong speech and did much to offset what Bloch and the governor had said. Johnston seems to be taking Bloch around with him to vindicate him in the Montevallo land deal, and Bloch does t the best he knows how: He is full of praise for the governor, but tells nothing great he has done. but that he is as good a governor as the state ever had. This is a Morgan beat. and the crowd was against the governor today. Stallings. Tomlinson.

him to be careful. The man could not
get inside the car. however, and was
knocked of, and subsequently died at

on the part Of Tulley.

LETTER CARRIERS
TAKING CENSUS
Hundreds Of Homes That Have

Men Interested on Account
Of Salary

BY direction Of the local Letter Car
riers Association all letter carriers in
the city are making deligent inquiry re-
garding the work OF the census enum-
orators.
This work is done by the carriers,
not out OF mere curiosity but from the
fact that should the census returns
show that the population OF Whining
ton has fallen below $4,000 their salar-
les viii be materially affected
Wilmington Is now rated I'm the post
Office department at Washington as a
first class city and as such all letter
carriers receive a salary OF $1,000 per
annum. To be rated as a city OF the
first class II IFS necessary that the CEN
sus returns show tkat the population
Is 10000 or over. Any decrease In that
number means a decrease I'm the salary
Of carriers from $1,000 to 5000. the
amount paid in cities of the second
class.
AS each carrier delivers letters To
the various houses on his district he
makes the inquiry:
Has the census man been hcre?"
The result Of the Inquiries up to the
present time shows that many resi-
dences have been neglected by the
enumerators from various causes.
Several persons OF whom the inquiry
Was made were surprised to learn that
there was such a person as census
enumerator.
When the canvas Is completed IL is
probable that many more families will
be added 10 the list OF those who have
not seen the census man."
