pFRS0NAI AND LOCAL ITEMS FOR PERFECT
''"'''"'' '''' '''" REGISTRATION
North Carolina Soon to be Reco-
gnized sa a Registration State

North Carolina will soon take
her rightful place among the
states of the Union as a registra
ton state This is all due to a
law Just passed perfecting our
registration Of births and deaths.
Hereafter, upon the death of any
person in the State, the under
takcr or person acting as such
will be obliged to file a death GER
titicate with the local registrar in
exchange for a burial permit
within seventy-two hours after
death or before the burial of the
body. Heretofore, in the country,
ten days were allowed for filing
such death certificates after the
burial of the body. AS a result
large portion Of the deaths in
the country were forgotten, over
looked and unrecorded, and our
vital statistics, particularly for
rural districts, are of very little
value and in many cases worth.
less and even misleading.
These conditions were so self.
evident that the federal authori.
ties refused, and rightly. to re-
cognize North Carolina as a regi.
tratlon state or to give our stats
tics a place beside the statistics
of other states with proper laws
1t is not known if North Caroline
will be recognized as a registra
ton state for 1915 or not, as al
most one fourth of the year vii
have passed before the law car
be put into action, but there is nj
doubt that our figures for 1911
will be accepted by fedora
authorities. After that Nortl

Seeress Predicted
Italy h ould Fight

Paris, May 25.-In her predictions
issued on December 15 last through
the United Press, Madame De
Thebes, Frances famous seeress,
forecasted Italy's early entrance
into the war. Her prediction con-
corning Italy was as follows:
"The hour soon will strike when
Italy will be compelled to draw her
sword She will be forced so to do.
Since it is already known that |
was once called to italy under
tragic circumstances to give my
humble opinion concerning the des-
tiny of a person high in the human
scale, | may say that | have addi
tional reasons for believing in the
magnificent future of the reigning
house.
However, danger menaces it.
Feminine hate, which nothing dis
arms, pursues it. There will be
abundant tears. There will be
great destruction of things-in
artistic southern Italy particularly
around the summer solstice.
For Franz JOsef-De Profundis.
This sinister old man is even now
dead. The world has called him
venerable; Vienna knows better of
his private life and it's scandals.
His wife hated him. He was cruel
to the point of torture, even with
his own son Rudolphe, whose death
was attributed to him.
1.-The dismemberment of Austria
is imminent. The Slavs will sepa-
rate from the German element, the
latter joining with Catholic Ger
many"
