reckoned over period of years."

Raleigh June 21.-For the first five

population increased more by reason
of excess of births over deaths, than
it did in the same five months of
1887. according to statistics furnished
by DR.. r. T. Simpson. head of the
State Board of Health's Vital Stats
lies Bureau.
This greatest increase was obtaine.:
in the face of declining number Of
-irths through the last three months
and was the result of a sharp de-
crease in deaths from the figure for
the first five months of 1887.

"Of course, we make miStakes-the

said Mr. Gill.
1T may be true that in some other
states the parole system has broken
down and it may be that clemency has
contributed to the making of public
enemies elsewhere; but our North
Carolina system has done no such
thing" he added.
In recent publication "Parole

Mr.. Gill made it plain he has no in

Without making an exhaustive re-

son at hand, it is timely to recall a
etter little known of Abraham Lin
coin that deserves to be among his
best known works.
Exactly 1902 years ago today, Lin
coin, candidate for reelection to II
linois House of Representatives,
wrote from his home in New Salem:
Dear Colonel:
1 am told that during my absence
last week you passed through this
place and stated publicly that you
were in possession of fact or facts
which, if known to the public would
entirely destroy the prospects of N.
w. Edwards and myself at the ensu-
ing election, but that through favor
to us you would forbear to divulge
them.
mo one has needed favors more
than 1, and generally, few have been
unwilling to accept them, but in this
case favor to me would be an injustice
to the public and therefore, I must
beg your pardon for declining it.
That 1 once had the confidence of
the people of Sangamon county is
sufficiently evident, and if I have
since done anything, either by design
or misadventure which, if known,
would subject me to a forfeiture of
the confidence, he that knows of that
thing and conceals it, is a traitor to
his countrys interests.

FORMER OFFICIAL THOS. LANE, DIES
Served as Republican As- sessOr, Alderman 40
 Years Ago

Death of Thomas Carl Lane, 30, at Standish, Maine, yesterday, re- called to many in Waterbury today that MT. Lane was for some years a resident of this city. He served as a Republican assessor about 35 to 40 years ago .when the assessors were elected, John H. Crary. secre- tary of the present board of asses sors, recalled today.
 MT. Lane was the son of Judge Marcus Lafayette Lane, ambassador to Mexico during the reign of the Grand Duke Macmillan. He was graduated in the class of 1879 from Bowdoin college, at Brunswick, Me, and thereafter was engaged in the jewelry business.
 He was married in Waterbury to Miss Jennie Carelton White, daugh- ter of LeRoy S. White, one of the pioneer manufacturers of silver, who was associated with Rogers & Brother many years ago. In 1895 MT. Lane served as vice-chancellor of Comstock lodge, Knights of Pythias here.
 In later years, he moved to Maine where he became interested in horse racing and operated a light harness horse racing stable. For some time before this, he was in the coal and wood business at Portland, Maine.
 MT. Lane was Well-knoWn in Maine through his racing activities and several of his horses won stakes races at the various harness meets during the last twenty years.

HARVARD MAY GET
 DRUNKARD CAGE

Woburn, Mass, April 27-(UP)- Mayor William E. Cage 'Em Kane is willing to rent his $500 wheeled lions cage to the Harvard Lampoon for the college humorous magazines party next week-but only if it is used for the confinement of drunks.
 Kane arranged to rent the cage for $56.5O. Then word reached him that the students planned to use it off a bar.
 "If they are going to use 1t as a bar, the deal is off," he stormed. But if they want to put the boys who get drunk in it, that's all right with me-"
 The cage was rejuected as roll- ing hoosegow for Woburn drunks in Americas first plebiscite Sunday. The voters did favor Kane's stream lined budget calling for pay reduc- tions and liquidation" of unneces- sayy employees, however, and last night the city council passed 1t after refusing for nearly two months to act on 1t.
