them regularly by officials. scholars and
all classes of people. They were said 10
possess cures for all diseases, saliva
tion for all troubles, and degrees for all
students. All that was necessary was
TO worship them.
A few months ago the subject Of
their efficiency, together with the idols,
etc, was discussed by the students
here, which resulted in a visit to the
temple and the killing of one of the
famous snakes.
The news got around later that the
student that had killed the snake had
died as a result Of his folly. because
had not the snakes power to bless and
to lnjure?
This rumor was kept up for long
time and so the face" of the temple
was restored
II Is said that these snakes were
over a hundred years old
Last Sunday a number Of students
went over again to the temple to have
a look at the idols, and no doubt the
sight brought back old scores. because
they proceeded to pull the idols down
from their places and to smash them
up; and. not content with this, they
proceeded to the place where the re.
naming two famous snakes were kept
and with stones killed them.

Willie in Hattiesburg last week, l

Sans care. 1t made me feel prouder
than ever that / am citizen of this
great country. No man, unless he has
a heart of steel, will condemn the gov
eminent for the help given these suf-
ferers. Their condition is pitiable. The
government is giving them the very
best. This is the most magnanimous
thing the federal government has done
in the south since the civil war. Uncle
Sam cares for his citizens when they
are in distress. Too much cannot be
said for these sacrificing devoted wo-
men who are wearing their lives away
for others. What the federal govern
ment is doing for the cyclone victims
is a sight you would have to see to
appreciate. 1t is strange to me that
some of the papers in the Southern
states are kicking about the state of
Mississippi accepting the help of the
general government 1t is positive
proof that you cannot please every
