McRAE WRITES TO
CHAMBER COMMERCE
Commissioner Agriculture
Asks Secretary Phillips
to Aid Enumeration.

That the county enumerators, who
are compiling the agricultural stats
ties for 1916. are meeting with much
opposition among the people of Es-
Gambia county, as we'll as in other
sections of the state, is shown in
letter to Secretary James F. Phillips,
of the Chamber of Commerce, from
w. A. McRae, state commissioner of
agriculture.
The letter says in part:
In your county the enumeration, w.
NJ. j. Scott, is now listing the agri-
cultural and industrial census. In
some sections OF the county he is
meeting with great deal of OPPOSE
tion from the manufacturers. He
makes no complaint from the agricul-
tural portion, but he says that many
refuse, for various reasons, to submit
any report whatever, and others SIM
ply say, 1t is none of the states -
business what we are doing We
just mention this to show the diff
Guilty in the way of getting the kind
of statistics most sought after by
business people from without the
state.
'The above is quotation from Mr..
SCOTS letter, who also quoted from
the party who made the remark. If
you can see Mr. Scott and help him
in any way to get this information,
you will do a service to the state as
well as your county. That you may
understand how these statistics are
taken we are inclosing to you a copy
of the law. 1t is apparent under the
circumstances that there should be a
penalty in the law, but as there is not
at present we have to do the best we
can. The next legislature viii be
asked to put a penalty in the law for
refusal to supply the information de-
! sired
"You will see by reading the law
that no persons private business IS
exposed, that only aggregates are
used, and that there should not be
any more objection to supplying the
state with this information than there
is in supplying the United States the
same information. The only differ
ence is that the people who refuse
these things to the state appear to
think that they can do what they
please with the state, while they are
afraid to refuse to supply the infor-
nation to the United States officials.
Instructions Command Secrecy.
The following sections of general
| instructions to enumerators are taken
from copy inclosed in the above
| letter:
In gathering the information re-
auired to fill out the blank forms sent
you herewith, it must be understood
between the people who are to fur
| nish it and yourself, that all matters
or questions pertaining to the busi-
ness are strictly confidential; that
| neither personal or family secrets
will be divulged or exposed to the
public.
You will, therefore, permit no one
to scrutinize or investigate your
work, for any purpose, while IN course
of preparation by you, but this does
not refer to persons in your employ.
No employe should be permitted to
make any statement whatever con-
corning it, for publication or other
wise, not even yourself"

He Had the Price,

Bill McCabe's Poughkeepsie team
was playing the Kingston team one
day years ago, in the Atlantic league
and guy named Fogarty was umpire.
In the ninth inning, with the score
tied, two of McCabe's men played out,
and as Billy had only one man extra,
he had to rush the bleacher seats to
find man to fill in. He drew a big
hick, who said he couldn't play, but for
the fun could fill in. There were two
out at the time and the fans were ex-
cited.
Our hero, the hick, came to bat. He
drew three balls and the next one
across he picked over the left field
fence for homer. Instead of running,
the fathead stood there while the
crowd howled itself mad. McCabe ran
out to him and yelled, Run. you boob,
rum"
The hick turned and faced Bill and
in a slow voice drawled: mo, sir,
won't run. I'm no coward. I'll admit
l lost your ball, but l got the money
right here In my pocket to pay for it."
