Sad AffliCtiOn
TAKE NO SUBSTITUTE.

News has just reached Green
Vile, N. c., of the death of three
children of George Adams, just
across the line in Craven county.
Two boys, the eldest 8, were
killed by a rattlesnake bite, and
the baby, l year old, old, was
drowned in a washtub.
Mrs. Adams was washing
clothes in the yard, the children
nearby. Squawls were heard
from a setting hen on her nest,
and Mrs. Adams told the Swear
old boy to throw the hen off nest.
The boy put his hand in the
nest and withdrew it with a cry
that the hen had pecked him.
The second boy went after the
hen, but quickly screamed that
the hen had pecked him. Mrs.
Adams left the year old baby
near the washtub and hurried to
the boys.
In the nest to her horror she
found a rattlesnake, and recog-
nized that it was the snake that
had bitten the boys. In her
anxiety to do something for the
injured boys she forgot her baby,
and when she got back to the
washtub found the baby had
climbed into the water in the
tub and was drowned. The
two boys bitten by the rat.
tlesnake died the same day,
and the three children were
buried together.

MOST STRIKING PROPOSAL Is THAT
DEPARTMENT WORK BE PUT
IN CLASSIFIED
SERVICE.
SUGGESTS SAVING S

WASHINGTON. April 4.---President
Taft today sent to Congress his sec
ond message of the present year on
economy and efficiency in the gov
eminent service. He recommended the
passage of legislation designed to
save more than Sill, 100000 annually
to the people Of the United states.
Probably his two most striking pro-
posa4s We're that the local govern
ment Offices in the Treasury. Post
office. Justice. Interior and Commerce
and Labor departments be placed In
the classified service and that the
revenue cu.ser service be consolidat-
ed with the lighthouse service in the
department OF Commerce and Labor.
by the first change. the President
said. Congress could effect a saving
of at least $lo.0uJ,oe0 annually, and
although in this message he gave no
figures for the consolidation of the
Two services of the sea, in a previous
message on the same subject early
in the year he predicted economies
that would total about sl,0uV.0Oo
yearly.
The President closed his message
with an appeal to Congress to appro-
port the economy efficiency commits
sion for another year, with $4,000
additional for the publication of the
commissioners findings,
Chief accommodate ions.
The chief recommendations OF the
message are:
Consolidation of lighthouse and
tfe-saving services into bureau OF
lighthouses; estimated saving, 100000.
Transfer Of vessels and equipment
of revenue cutter service from Treas
ury to Commerce and Labor Depart
ment and its abolition as a separate
service; estimated In message on
economy January II that saving
would be about 100000 a year.
Placing Of pension agents in CLASSIC
fed service; estimated saving, $4,000
annually.
Abolition OF ONCE Of receiver OF dis
trict land offices and transfer Of duties
to register. assisted by bonded clerk;
estimated saving, 100000 annually.
Transfer Of political appointees' In
internal revenue and customs services
to classified service: estimate Of saw
ing not given.
Consolidation Of auditing Offices OF
the government under one auditor;
estimated saving. $4,000 annually
Discontinuance OF mileage allow
ances for government travel and 8
per diem allowance for officers and
employees In place OF subsistence
which includes lodging for those trav-
cling; no estimate Of saving given.
Improved method Of handling cor
responsiveness: estimate of saving not
given. but predicted that labor can
be reduced so per cent
Capitalization OF the distribution
OF government documents; estimated
saving. $4,000 a year.
Discontinuance Of publication OF
the official register; estimated saving
$4,000 annually.
Directly and indirectly" reads the
message. the changes proposed will
result in the saving Of many millions
of dollars OF public funds"
