According to bulletin of the
Bureau of the Census the death
rate of the registration area of the
United States for 1918 was AL
per thousand, estimated popula-
ton. In 1912 it was 1879, in 1911,
14.2. For the years from 1901 to
1905 the average was 1872; from
1905 to 1910 it was 15.1. We are
therefore continuing in improve
ment, the average for 1911, 1912
and 1918 being 14.06. These are
the exact figures as stated in the
report of the Census Bureau.
What they mean in actual lives is
not indicated except by closer
analysis. The decrease from 1872,
the average from 1901 to 1905, to
AL, the average for 1918, amounts
to Is per cent, or a reduction of
one death in every eight. If the
same rate had prevailed in 1918 as
in the period from 1901 to 1905,
there would have been 1925 ,446
deaths recorded instead of $50 1928
an excess of 134,623,

A very interesting and instruct.
i've meeting was held at the court
house last Wednesday night in
the interest of the farmers. The
meeting was addressed by Dr.. w.
H. Dalrymple, of the chair of Vet
Urinary Science of the Louisiana
State University at Baton Rouge;
DR., A. E. Wight of the Bureau of
Animal Industry, U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture. Mr.. Ken
driok, of New iberia, spoke on
modern dairying, while Mr..
Young, connected with the South
ern Pacific railroad, addressed the
meeting on topics pertaining to
immigration.
These gentlemen made eloquent
and forceful addresses and made
it clear that our section would
again attain agricultural prosperi-
ty, if the farmers would take their
advice and diversity their crops,
cultivate less sugar cane and raise
other needful produce which here.
tofore they purchased from other
states at ruinous prices.
It is to be hoped that our plant
ers will profit by this wise advice
and accommodate themselves to
the changed condition of things
They can no longer prosper on
the cultivation of sugar cane alone
Sugar cane Is in it's nature a forced
crop, and even with the protection
of the tariff it has always been an
expensive and uncertain crop, az
all forced crops must of necessity
be. Sugar caue does not mature
in this climate, and if the artificial
means used to force its maturity
fails before frost comes, as it otter
does, then disaster is the inevi'
table result. 1t is best not to de-
pend entirely on any one crop.
Success will surely come in
diversity of crops.

FUNERAL SERVICES
LARGELY ATTENDED
DIR. G. D. DICKERSON BURIED
AT OAK GROVE CEMETERY
WITH MASONIC HONORS.

Funeral services for the late DR..
George Douglass Dickerson, who died
at his home on Center street Friday
from heart failure, were held yester-
day afternoon from the Presbyterian
church, conducted by Rev. E. R. Steel,
pastor of the Methodist church. The
body was escorted from the residence
to the church by members of Green
Grove lodge No. 107, F. and A. M, of
which he was an honorary member.
The church was crowded with former
friends of DR.. Dickerson, who had
gathered to pay their last respects to
one of Conway's most prominent and
respected citizens.
A most beautiful tribute to DR..
Dickerson was paid by Rev. Steel. He
brought before the assemblage a vivid
picture of the life the deceased had
lived, stating that it was one well to
be emulated.
Following the services at the church
a large cortege of friends accompa-
MED the body to Oak Grove cemetery,
where the Masonic ceremony was
held. The pall-bearers were DR.. Geo.
S. Brown, Judge W. B. Wilson, D. 0.
Harton, Col. j. E. Little, J. Frank
Jones and w. n. Owen.
Among those from out of town who
were here to attend the funeral SER

COUNCIL WILL NOT
AMEND ORDINANCE
FOR LIGHT-WATER PLANT
BOTH AMENDMENTS TABLED
TUESDAY NIGHT-TO APPEAL
HOSE SUIT.

Finding themselves unable to agree
upon the manner Of choosing the
members of the commission, the city
council last night disposed of the mat
ter of amending the ordinance gov
erning the light and water systems by
voting to to lay both amendments
on the table.
The question has been before the
council for several weeks. About two
years ago the ordinance establishing
commission for the management OF
the two plants was passed and under
it members were elected for term of
one, two and three years. The pres
en- council at it's first meeting amend
ed the ordinance so as to provide that
only members of the council should be
eligible to serve on the commission
Several weeks ago another amenu-
ment to change the ordinance practic-
ally back to it's original form was in
troduced, but the members of the
council were unable to agree whether
the commission should be appointed by
the council or elected by the people.
Last nights action probably means
there will be no change in the ordi-
nance by the present council.
The council allowed accounts Tor
salaries and time checks amounting tp
|$174.65.
City Attorney r. G. Bruce was in
structed to appeal to the supreme
court from the judgment of the circuit
court in favor of the Eureka FIRE
Hose Company for $1,714 and two
years interest. In this suit the city
conceded liability for the principal
amount, but denied that any interest
on the claim was due.
