In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, April 19.-Electric COOP
eratives, sponsored and aided by the
Federal Rural Electrification Admin
istraton, have at least doubled their
total of authorized customers in
North Carolina since the first of this
year, according to tentative and ap-
proXimate figures obtained at the
office of the State REA.
The total increase of customers on
authorized lines of all sorts Coop,
private utility and municipaD since
January l has been greater than the
increase for the entire year 1888, j.
M. Granger, State REA engineer
said.
A conservative estimate of the in
crease in customers on lines of all
sorts this year is $4,000, he said, a.
gainst an actual increase of 1926
for the entire year 1888. The cOOps
have accounted for the lions share
oe this years increase, their CUSTOM
er total having jumped from some
thing over 5000 to approximately
10000 in three months. The absolute
minimum of all increases, Granger
has definite, accurate reports. Other
reports not yet in the office will car
ry this to the minimum of $4,000 al
ready mentioned.
With the quarters increase, rural
line sauthoriZed (not all of them
constructed or even under cOnStruc-
tion, it was emphasized) will serve
total of approximately 10000 Gus
tomers-68,391 are the totals for
which accurate reports have been
made. These are divided, according
to the lines by which they will be
served about like this: Private power
companies $4,000, municipal lines =
900 cooperativeS 10000.
Principal cooperatiYes which have
been organized and for which funds
have been authorized by the Federal
REA this year are: Union, Bruins
wick, Harker's Island, Davie, Pied

BY MISS KATE FURMAN.

On Friday and Saturday Of last
week during the tour of the Hender-.
son gardens, the Henderson Bird
Club had its display of bird houses,
old nests, feeding stations, and pos
ters on the porches and in the gar
den of Mrs. A. ]. Davis on Clark
street.
Visitors were impressed with the
quiet serenity of the outdoor living
room with its stone fireplace, color
full borders, and grass. Hanging from
the trees and trellises were bird
houses and feeding stations. 1t was
enhancing to see the bluebirdS fly
ing back and forth to their house, to
hear the liquid notes of the thrasher,
to watch the robins, white -throated
sparrows, myrtle warblers, purple
finches, mockingbirds, chickadees
and numerous others and to hear
their songs in the distance. One
visitor identified for the first time
with a field glass -white-eyed vireo,
another learned the calls of two birds
as she sat in the garden.
Food and shelter are afforded the
birds in and around Mrs. Davis gar
den by wild cherries, wild plums,
elms, hollies, red cedars, mulberries,
dogwoods, blackberries, the trumpet
vine and many other berry-bearing
trees and shrubs.
On one porch South Henderson
school exhibited an excellent collec-
ton of last years bird nests; Aycock
school contributed good posters,
nests, feeding stations and houses;
West End school displayed martin

ment of Conservation and Develop

ciety; and by the manufactures of

literature and one of the Henderson
Bird Clubs own recently published
folder, Henderson, A Municipal Bird
Sanctuary, were given to each of the
200 interested visitors. There was
also an excellent poster made by a
student of the Henderson Business
School listing the trees and shrubs
that attract birds and two scrap
books of clippings of the Henderson
Bird Club activities during the two
years Of its existence.
Henderson should indeed be proud
of the display of the Henderson Bird

of ours. Let us teach our boys and
girls to befriend the birds.

Raleigh Vote Shows
Little for Reforms
CONTINUED From Page One)

is complicated by the fact that sud-
den Monday afternoon squall may
have had as much to do with cutting
the Raleigh vote as did the laws.
So far as the Raleigh voting is con-
cerned, it can also be justifiably de-
duced that the reforms will have
little or no effect on results of the
normal, ordinary election.
For Monday a vote Of more than
10000 had been anticipated. In fact
only 1884 ballots were cast for
mayor. The absence of markers
slowed up voting in several precincts
where the Negro vote predominates,
because it required more time for the
voters to figure out that valid ticket
as compared with the sample
ticket previously given Them. than
it would have taken for marker to
do the figuring.
Raleigh has three precincts in
which the Negro vote far outnum-
bers the white. Ordinarily it is pos
sible to predict the vote in these pre-
cincts by the very simple method OF
determining which candidate or FAC
ton has lined up comparatively few
Influential workers. Mondays voting
ran true to this form chart-the ef-
fective workers were for Andrews
for mayor and Andrews got the vote
but inasmuch as he got majority
in every precinct of the city that
can't be taken as any too good sign
of a goose egg. The only difference
noticeable was that he got fewer
votes than he would have polled with
the assistance of markers.
In precincts 10 and 16, perhaps
the two largest Negro precincts IN
the state, the election was orderly
|, but slow. Elimination OF absentees
cut down the vote by elimination
of "repeaters," m
If it showed anything, the Raleigh
election showed that Organization
and money will win elections just
as they have always done-absentees
or no absentees, markers or no
markers.

were listed at So as compared with
81 for March, 1898: though there
was decline of two (from four to
tWo) in deaths caused by auto-t train
collisions.
Births for the first quarter of this
year totalled 1871 as compared
with 19,466 in the first three months
of 1888. For deaths, the CORES
ponding figures are 8,401 for 1889
against 1894 for 1888.
The "big five" of death causes
were the same in each of the first
months of the year, and they rated
in the same order except during
March, when influenza deaths climo
ed from fourth to third. In all
other months the causes of death
ranked Cd pneumonia, (2) c1ncer,
(3) pulmonary tuberculosis, (4) in
fluenza and (5) automobile acci-
dents
Tar Heels so far this year have
found life more worth living, as
there have been only 81 suicides, a
very marked reduction over the 90
recorded in -the first three months
of 1888.
Homicides, likewise, have shown
a decrease, though not so imposing
as in the case of suicides. Figures
show rs killings in three months
this year against "a in 1938's open
ing quarter.
