the senator started his machine to whir-

CHANGE IN PENSION LAW.
Examination of Applicants Should he
Carefully Made.

state Auditor p. F Dixon yesterday
mailed the following letter to every
county pension board in the State. The
boards are warned to be extremely
careful in making their examinations
of the applicants. The letter is rs
follows;
Il enclose you herewith copies of
the pension law together with the list
of pensioners in your county. The
present law was amended by the last
legislature as follows
Sec Provided, that the county
board of pensions may place upon the
pension roll. in the classes to which he
or she would otherwise belong, any
Confederate soldier, sailor or widow
disqualified by the provisions of this
section. who may appear to be unable
to earn living from property valued
at as much as five hundred dollars or
more for taxation. and who may APP
pear to the board, from special cir
cumstances worthy to be placed upon
the pension roll.
"Of course this matter is left en-
tirely with the county pension board.
and it is earnestly desired that the
board will be extremely careful in
making thorough examination of each
applicant who has property of over
$500 i'm value because every one Of
this class that is placed upon the pen
sion roll will take money from those
who possibly need it worse. and I'M

partment has published advanced

and the statistical tables showing the
condition and financial standing as
we'll as the business transacted during
the year ending December 81, 1904
according TO the reports filed with the
department.
The total number of companies adj
mitted to do business in the State
under the general insurance law
where they had not been already ad-
mitted and were licensed for the year
ending April /, 1905, is 23S. of these
4 were life companies; IL were as
sessment life companies; 104 were fire
and fire and marine companies; 81
were accident and surety companies;
and so were fraternal orders.
1t is notable that about one-sixth
of the total business done in the State

the past year was done by North Car
Dina companies. In 1899 the amount
done by home companies was about
one-tenth.

OLD SUMMER TIME.
The Blazing Sun Up to
His BIistering Tricks
Again.

The sun did its utmost yesterday
to make the day uncomfortable for
everybody everywhere: but the de-
lightful breezes tempered the Excess
siye warmth with a relief hat for the
time permitted one to forget the cruel
words of Wizard Won Herman, the
weather prophet, and the memory of
the instruments in his tower that bear
such frightful names-that to mem
ton them would make one over
heated. Warm weather has only be-
gun. There is hot time a-coming.
and all the folks viii know 1t, but
Chief Won Herman who holds close
communion with the spirits of the air
and atmosphere, just to jag their
memory and make them appreciate
IL more fully, will tell them every day
how much hotter 1t will be the day to
come
Very little really hot weather has
been experienced in Raleigh to date
during the present year. In May the
thermometer reached 81 degrees OH
three dates. the 10th, 18th and goth
instants but did not exceed that fig
ure. In June, the temperature has
exceeded 80 degrees only on the 5th,
9Th. 18th. 18th, Goth and 21st. with ali
absolute maximum of 81 degrees on
June 2Utn. AS compared Win pTeNl-
Gus years these figures show very
mild degree of heat indeed Tenn
peratures above 90 occurred in April,
in Raleigh, from the 10th, in 1896, to
April 21st, when the temperature
ranged from 80 to 95 degrees In
May the thermometer runs up high,
but seldom remains long above 80
The highest temperatures recorded for
number of years were: May, 1889,
- degrees: 1895, 80 degrees; 1896, 50
degrees: 1898, "a degrees; 1903, SO
degrees. The really hot weather be-
gins in June and sometimes continues
far into September. In June there
are such records as 95 degrees In
1899: 100 degrees in 1895; 101 de-
grees in 1888. and 102 degrees in
1887.
In June, 1888, the maximum tenn
perature was above 80 degrees no less
than 13 times: in June. 1894, IL times.
and I'm 1890, 1895, 1897, 1898, 1899,
l times.
AS for possible duration of the hot
periods in June said Prophet Won
Herman, compare the records for
this year with June 1883, and be ex-
ceedingly thankful
