Nailed the Lie.
Gov ernor Hooper SO
Brands a Statement to
William Stanton of
Memphis.

Governor b. w. Hooper re-
Gently granted a conditional par.
don, to Charles Waddell, of Fay
etteville, who had been sentenc.
ed to Imprisonment for kill
ing a policeman. Following this
action BY the Chief Executive
criticism Of the Governors &C.
tion was made by William Stan
ton Of Memphis, Speaker Of the
House of the 58th General As
sembly, who was elected under
the false claim that he was q
man who could be depended up.
on to do the fair thing, and af-
terward signed bis name to the
House Journal claiming a quor
present, when, as a matter of
fact, several Of the members nee.
essary to make the required six
ty.six were in another state.
We state this well-known fact,
in order to remind the people
anew Of the manner of.man who
makes the charge that Governor
Hooper pardoned Waddell in
consi deration for his service as a
"gunman" on a certain occasion
But listen to the Governors 3 way
of branding the statement and
giving the facts to the public:
II have never deemed it ad.
visable or necessary" said the
governor. TIA take notice of every
political Misrepresentation con-
cerning me or my administra-
tion. In this instan nee, however,
feel that the gravity Of the
charge and the circumstantiality
with which it is stated, make it
necessary for the public to know
the facts.
II therefore desire ito state
that the story about the pardon
OF Charles Waddell ia absolutely
and unqualifiedly false in every
particular.
"Oharles Waddell was serving
. sentence which would have ex.
pired in November, 1915. After
the thorough investigation Of
every phase of his case, which !
habitually give to all pardon cas-
es, extended to him a condi-
tional pardon. The statement
that he was at the capitol during
the session Of the iegislstpre
mentioned, or at any other \
sion,. for the purpose eHege N
for any other purpose, is fMse,
To stew the whole matter ddwn
into a nutshell, in order that my
meaning may be clear, the
charge IS a lie outaof the whole

Vital Statistics.

All County Papers Should
Follow the Example OF
the Savannah Courier
in Calling Attention to
the Law which Requires
Registration of Births
and Deaths.
The Lexington progress. (Lexington, Tenn.) 1884-current, 1914-01-16

~--s4S
This new law requires tha
each Birth and Death be regis
teredimmediately with the Lo
cal Registrar of the district il
which the Birth or Death occurr
ed.
HOW BIRTHS ARE REGISTERED.
The Doctor or Midwife who at
tends a Birth is required to flt
a certificate of said Birth will
the Local Registrar of the dis
trict in which the Birth occurred
within ten days. In case Meth,
er Doctor nor Midwifeis in at
tendance parents are srequiredtC
file such certificate.
HOW DEATHS ARE REGISTERED.
The Undertaken, or person act.
ing as such, is required to file
with the Local Registrar q Death
certificate, properly signed by
an Informant, and bys thesphysi-
clan last in attendance on the
deceased. The physicians will as
sign the cause of the death.
The law requires that this GER
tificate be filed with the Local
Registrar of a District, and that
Burial Permit be procured
from him before disposing of a
dead body.
Why BIRTHs ANE DEATHS SHNULD
BE REGISTERED.
The chief purpose Of the regis.
|tration of vital statistics may he
summarized as affording Q) le-
gal records for the protection of
the rights of individuals and es-
pecially of the more helpless
|class, infants and women, and
for court purposes; (2) sanitary
records Of the prevalence Of dis
case absolutely necessary for the
effective work of all public
health services, city, state and
national; (3) knowledge of the
character and movement Of pop
ulation, essential for enlighten-
ed legislation and study of the
growth of the United States.
1t is not our desire to hold be-
fore the people in glaring letters
the penalties for the violation Of
this Act, but rather to hold be-
fore you the Importance of these
records, both to- the individual
and to the State, and thereby Sc
cure the hearty cooperation of
every person in the State in the
carrying out Of the provisions Of
the law.
