NORTH CAROLINA YOUTHFUL.

Increase Her Population Over
Forty Thousand During 1914.
Raleigh Feb. 10.
North Carolina will have little
room for Belgians if the present
rate of increase of births over
deaths keeps up. In 1914 there
were 1881 births registered in
North Carolina, while t re total num-
Der of deaths registered during the
year was only 31,484, which shows
an increase to the population of
over 10000. These reports are the
finding OF the Vital Sta istics De-
partnent Of the State Board of
Health and are as nearly correct as
the Vital Statistics Law can make
them.
The counties leading in births are
Wake, 21S6; Guilford, 2158; Neck
burg, 2036; Johnston, 1859; Forsyth
1883, and CASTOR 1923, The count
les leading in the number of deaths
are: Wake 1891; Mecklenburg, r.
rs; Guilford, 1925; and Forsyth l -
10. The leading in marriages are:
Wake, 807; Guilford, 802; Mecklen-
burg, 1877; Forsth, 772;; and Bun
combe 653. AS it appears, Wake
County leads not only in the num-
Der of births and marriages, but al
so in the number of deaths. though
her death rate is 20.4, which is the
fourth highest in the State. New
Hanover County has the highest,
2e.3 per thousand. while Forsyth
has the next of Els and Pasquo-
tank 20.7.
While at first thought these
death rates may appear rather high,
closer examination of the returns
indicate that these rates are due
largely to two causes; first, the
higher rate among the negroes, and
second, to excellent registration in
these cOuntioc
Neutrality-suspicious. fact revealed
by the figures compiled by the Vi
tai Statistics Department is that
the white death rate is lis pei
1000 population while the colored
death rate is Is 6 per 1000. On the
other hand the white birth rate is
1862 per 1000 and the colored rate
is only $50 per 1000.

Insurance Fiuures.

"Rich mems diseases" are no myth
A life insurance company has beer
classifying the death claims that il
paid last year. 1t finds that the mer
who died of cirrhosis of the liver were
insured on the average for little
more than $4,000. Appendicitis
topped $4,000, and diabetes was high
On the other hand, typhoid fever rep
resented only about $1,000, and tuber
culosis about the same figure. Pre-
mature explosion of blast is not
listed as a disease by the company
although a certain famous comedian
used to say that among his country
men it was the commonest ailment Of
all. Those who die of that are sci
dom insured at any figure.-Youth's

Excellent Notion,

There are now in existence so

old P. G. Poster, that it would be
good idea to inaugurate a few socie-
ties for the prevention of societies

could be carried on and elaborated UNI
til we had societies for the prevention

The WEEPING TREE
BY MARY GERTRUDE SHERIDAN.

of Bruce Martin, as they got off the
suburban train at Groveville.

with pose of self-importance, lis an

'Gift?" persevered the neighbor.

sapling. 1t certainly did not prepos-

typical bean pole.

Say, l think the old man will weep

Martin passed by the intimation
with light laugh, but the dart struck
home. Now Bruce Martin was very
important personage-to' his own way
of thinking. His self-assertive dignity
was easily ruffied. He had two faults
"a ready resentment for anyone dis

ROUSED JUDGE FROM SLEEP
Lawyers Remark Might Have Been
Considered in Contempt, but 1t
Did the Work.

An excellent story is told of Lord
Chief Justice Coleridge. For the ben
eft of transporting readers, it should
be explained that dog when exhibit
ed is said to be ION the bench or
"benched" At the trial of an action
for damages for running over sheep
dog, a winner of many prizes, counsel
for the defendant was anxious to
prove that the dog had had its day,
and that the damages should be nom
inal.
Unfortunately, Lord Coleridge, who
was trying the case, had dropped off
to sleep, and the evidence was being
wasted. Counsel's one chance was to
cause such a laugh in court as would
wake the Judge; so, gradually raising
his voice, he asked one of the plain
tiffs witnesses: SIS il not your expe-
rience as an exhibitor that when an
old dog has taken his place regularly
on the bench for many years, he gets
sleepy and past his work."
