CELEBRITY AND SECRECY
OBJECTS IN COMPILATION OF GIN-
 NERS' REPORT.
telegraph is Used by County Agents nnd Figures are Added in Room Guarded to Prevent
 Leak.

Washington, Oct 26.-Director of the Census North today issued the following statement regarding change in the methods of compilation and ex- petition of the cotton reports:
 Tn order to expedite the publication If the cotton ginning reports, the cen sus office has this year undertaken the experiment of compiling them from tel sgraphic reports from the County agents using the individual cards sub sequently received by mail to verify the telegraphic summaries. In this way 1t has been possible to expedite the publication of the semi-monthly reports at least one week.
 For instance last years report or cotton ginning to October IS, corres- bonding to the one issued yesterday was not made public until November 2. In order to present this earlier re- port, it has been found absolutely nec- essary to change the hour of publica- tion from 12 o'clock noon to p. m., which will hereafter be the uniform hour for making the report public. The bulk of the telegrams from our coun- ty agents are not received until the morning of the compilation, the agents being given until the night of the pre- ceding day to complete their canvasses and file their messages.
 Some of these agents are located so
 
 reports cannot be received in this in stance before noon or thereabouts of the day of publication. These tale- grams must be arranged by counties and the information listed on cards before the compilation by adding ma chimes can be done. It is. therefore, a physical impossibility to compile the complete report earlier than p. m. and I do not believe that any similar statistical compilation has ever been accomplished with greater celerity.
 The entire compilation is carried on in secluded room, constructed for the purpose, lighted only by skylight and guarded from the outside. No clerk is allowed to depart from this room and no one to enter 1t until the report has been placed upon the wires Upon the completion of the compilation, the re- port is sealed in this room and deliv- cred in person to the director at the door, who takes it directly to the tele- graph operators. While I have the ut most confidence in all of those engaged in this compilation, l believe these pre- cautions are necessary for their pro- lection, as well as my own. and that of the general public"

While no woman is entirely free from periodical suffering. it does not seem to be the plan of nature that women should suffer so severely. Menstrua- ton is . severe strain on . womAn'a c vitality. If it is painful or irregular something ia wrong which should be set right or it will lead to . serious de- engagement of the whole female organ ism.
 More than fifty thousand women have testified in grateful lettersto Mrs. pinkhnm that Lydia F. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound overcomes pain ful and irregular menstruAtion.
 It provides . safe and sure way of es- cape from distressing and dangerous weaknesses and diseases.
 The two following letters tell SO con- vincingly what Lydia E. Pinlxham's Vegetable Compound will do for women, they cannot fail to bring hope to thousands of sufferers.
 Miss Nellie Holmes of $40 N.. Davi- sion Street. Buffalo. N. Y., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:--

NEGRO FORGED ORDER.

Hooks Tried to Get Five Dollars on Spurious Order.
 In the opinion of the police, one Of the poorest attempts at forgery on re- cord was that yesterday afternoon of Daniel Hooks. young negro, arrested at 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon by Police Ofiicers Payne and Graham on a charge of forgery.
 In letter. crudely written and badly framed, Hooks tried to forge an order for $5 on John Day, money lender at IF 1-2 Monroe Street, from J. T. West, Superintendent of the plant of the Southern Cotton oil Company in North Montgomery. The negro was caught by H. L.. Bray, clerk in the employ of Mir Day. who suspected the negro and held him in the loan offce under lock and key until officers could arrive and take the negro to police headquarters.
 Hooks was employed at the plant of the oil company. Yesterday morning he went to the loan office and asked Mir. Bray to advance him $5 on a trunk. not give the money on such security The negro then asked Mir. Bray would he let him have the S5 if he would get an order from Mir. West. Mir. Bray told the negro that If he. would bring the order he would let him have the money.
 The negro went away and returned at o'clock with an order which. he said, Mir. West had given him. As soon ias the loan office clerk saw the order, he knew that 1t was forgery. He told the negro that he could probably let him have the money in few mir- utes and invited Hooks to remain In his office during the intervening time. Hooks stayed short time and after Inx xstr 1~iv, ,lx znF tnr tua Monroe Street. Hardly had the negro made his exit when MT. Bray telephoned to the oil company's superintendent and was informed that the order was spu rious. Bray tefcphoned fer n patrol- man and Hooks was arrested.
