Creel, the aged white man who on Christina Eve stabbed to death on New South Front Street, will be placed on trial for his life time during next week. A one term of Craven county Superior Court for the trial of criminal cases cases will convene next Monday with Judge Connor Wilson and as Creel has not been nut, he will probably be placed on trial early in the week. The ma- does not deny the killing, but sticks like adamant to the story he first told, and which was to the effect that he did it in self defense It is said that this Is not the Ural murder which Creel has committed that once before coming to New Ber-i he slew a man. Whether this is is a matter of doubt. Laura Creel, who is doubtless the cause the whole affair, is yet living at No. New South Front Street, and will probably remain here until after her father's trial.

Death Rate Reported For This State Has Been Greatly Reduced Raleigh, Dec. the death rate in North Carolina has been re- 1.2 since 1911, It is still higher than the average in Hit Unit- ed Stales according to figures com- plied by the Vital Statistics Bureau and given out by the Slate Board Health yesterday. These figures are only for towns of or more. these it would seem that North Caro- total death rate was 18.3 par in 1911; 17.3 in 1912; and 17.1 in The need of more and bet- health work is indicated by fact that the average death rate in the registration area of the United States is only per 1.000 as against 17.1 in North Carolina. Upon examining the death rates for the various causes of deaths, the chief source of our high death is found to be due to preventable dis- such as typhoid, tuberculosis, diarrheal diseases among children measles and whooping cough, the old-age diseases, our death ls lower than the average in the United States. As an example of our death take typhoid fever which is over times the average. Three times a many people die from measles and four times as many from cough as are due to die. Our tuber- death rate is per cent high than the average in this To be more specific we have deaths every year from this disease than we should have, and what Is more significant every one of 5.300 deaths from this disease are as unnecessary as the useless deaths now- occurring on the European battle- fields. Pneumonia is responsible for needless deaths and diarrheal disease among children 3.000 and on down the list. Our death rate seems to he about seventeen per cent higher than the average for the United Sates,, but It is slowly decreasing thanks to our adoption of improved health methods. New Justice for Ohio.
