 The census enumerators have com pleted their work in Westerly, taken under state direction, and the returns have been filed with Everett A. Kings ley, who has charge of the work in Westerly, and in about ten days official return will be made to the state di- rector of the census. The Rhode 1Sl- and state census is taken every five years after the taking of the federal census and therefore comparisons can be made in the state every five years. The officials are not making any ad- vance statements, but it is known that Westerly will show a material increase in population during the past five years, notwithstanding the fact that there will be 8 loss of over 100 in the government reservation at Fort Mans field. The new census will show a population for Westerly of between 10000 and II 1,000, an increase of con- siderable over 1000 in the past five years, which indicates a steady and a probably being in the Bradford section of the town.
 At the American rose show recently held in Boston, the S. J. Reuter- & Son company of Westerly, with branches in Norwich and New London, was awarded prizes for these roses: Sun burst, Prince B c. DeAvenberg and Mrs. Taft, first prizes; and Mrs. Aaron At the international flower show in New York the company received spe- cial prize for the best vase of Mrs. Taft roses. Louis J.

District of the M. F. w. c. was held
in the Confederate Memorial Building,

were led in prayer by Mrs. w. M.
Wilmington. Immediately following
came Mrs. J. C. Crowell, the president
of the Woman's Club in Greenwood,
who after welcoming the visitors most
heartily. spoke interestingly of wo-
mans work in the world, explaining in
part, why history held no more names
of famous women, and completing her
address with a reminder to those pres
ent that Women's Clubs were organs
of great usefulness. made necessary in
the course of the worlds evolution.
There being no reports ready from
the District, Mrs. Humphrey then in
troduced Mrs. James Houston Price. of
Magnolia, Miss, the president of the
nj. F. w. c.. Mrs. Prices address was
of such force and appropriateness as to
explain her deserved prominence among
Mississippi club women. After speak
ing of organization, reciprocity, CO.
operation and harmony, the four neces
sites for successful club work, she de-
scribed those types of women who
might be called '.live wires" of COM
munity. and told how such women were
ready with solutions for State and Ma
tional problems, including among the
most important of these, the improve
ment of rural home life and schools.
Those present were helped by her clear
explanation of the work of the Educa-
ton Committee with it's two subdi-
visions, Scholarship and Education, and
its sub committee, Peace and Political.
This led. naturally, to her figures on

Madam, if your husband is like most
men he expects you to look after the
health Of yourself and children. Coughs
and colds are the most common of the
minor ailments and are most likely to
contract diphtheria or scarlet fever
when it has cold. If you will inquire
into the merits of the various remedies
that are recommended for coughs and
colds, you will find that Chamberlain 3

nation Of people who use it. 1t is

clear understanding of these conditions.
and her faith in the means, direct and
indirect, for their elimination, kept the
interest Of her hearers until the close
of her talk on the necessity for pub

manse. and Miss Powel's appeal there
for, the spread of no economics and
the Smith Lever Bill, Four H brand of
canned goods and the "Cleanest Town"
contest. Her final and most emphatic
appeal was for State Endowment
Fund. No one listening to her exposition
of the object and uses of such fund
could doubt it's urgent necessity, and
the meeting az whole was ready to
be as liberal as possible under existing
conditions.
Mrs. Humphrey then read from the
report OF the chairman of the commit

interesting talk on the work of the

decision to begin an active campaign
for the establishment by the State of

objected to the name ''reformatory'
for an institution for children who are
in the formative period of life. She

PARD0NS man ONCE
SENTENCED TO DEATH
GOVERNOR LIBERATES FRANK
WALKER, MISSISSIPPI COUN-
TY SLAYER.

Little Rock, Dec. 21.-Frank j.
Walker, OF Ross, Mississippi county,
who stood within the shadow of the
gallows in the fall of 1911, is today
a free man. He was granted full
pardon Monday afternoon by Govern
or Hays, upon the petition of a large
number of citizens, endorsed by AS
sociate Justice Frank Smith, who was
the trial judge at the time of Wal
ker's conviction.
On May, 4, 1911, Walker shot and
killed one Sam Smith in a barber
shop at Dell, as the result of quar-
rel which arose over Walker having
been black balled in an Odd Fellows
lodge which he had made application
to join. He was sentenced to be
hanged on July 81, but his case was
appealed to the supreme court which
affirmed the judgment of the lower
court on October 2. There was great
interest in the case at the time, there
being five white men in the peniten-
tiary at the time under sentence of
death. Strong pressure was brought
to bear upon the governor to save
Walkers life, and on December Is,
1911, Governor Donaghey committed
his death sentence to Imprisonment in
the penitentiary for 80 years.
October IA, 1912, Frank Walker,
with Yates Standridge and three 9TH
er convicts, escaped from the peniten-
tiary camp at Arlberg, Searcy county,
and reward of $400 was offered for
the retur nof Walker He was APP
pretended after several months of
| liberty, and the penitentiary author
tiles paid a reward of 500 for him.
Since then he has been a model pris-
cner
Judge Smith, who recommended the
pardon, says that he did so on account
of the record he has made.a a pris-
oner, and the fact that he is in bad
health. Judge Smith says that since
Walkers conviction his wife has Sc
cured a divorce and remarked They
have one child, born soon after the
tragedy which deprived its father of
his liberty.
