Flood devastation continues. Rain
and destruction still follow in the
wake of the Mississippi flood. Drops
In temperature and rain have caused
added suffering to the homeless. Since
the levees have begun to break water
has spread over hundreds of miles of
territory inundating it, and causing
suffering to human beings and drown
ing live stock and wilI game. In the
refugee camps many stories of narrow
escapes are told by persons who had
remained until the last moment before
fleeing. In the flooded district one can
get into boat and travel for miles in
any direction, without seeing any
land. The depth of the water is from
one foot to 40 feet or more. The work
of rescuing marooned people has been
a great problem for the authorities to
handle. Boats are scarce and all are
being put to their utmost use. 1t is
no unusual scene to see a skiff or mo-
tor boat coming out of the woods load
ed to its capacity with rescued people,
and part of their belongings. Rats
are often used by the escaping farm
ers who load their families, live stock
and household goods upon them and
float them to some high place and
wait to be rescued from the flood.
The rescue work is well organized
and so far as known no fatalities
have occurred. The rescuers tell ma
ny tales of suffering and privation as
they have found people in trees who
had been there for days exposed to the
weather and without food or sufficient
clothing to keep them warm. The
number of refugees In the cities and
towns from Jonesboro down to Louisi-
ana has continued to increase Ye

High School Is, Sequachee 2.

The ice on the Sequachee baseball
season was broken Friday when team
composed of three regulars, one new
player and five of the second team
journeyed to Jasper to play the High
School team. They got defeated, as
everybody expected, losing out 1S to 2.
E. Curtis was to have pitched the
game, but failed to show up, and H.
Alder was secured at the last moment
to do the twirling. He did fairly we'll
for fielder, and would have done bet
ter had it not been for several bad err
rors in fielding, more through over
anxiety than inability, which present
The game started off nicely with
Sequachee at bat, and up to the last
half of fourth the game was errorless
and score 9 to 0 in 81. S. favor, then
came the first bunch of fireworks, and
there was another in the fifth inning,
and concluder in the seventh. s.
Martin scored for Sequachee in the
eighth on a base on balls, a steal and
a hit by W. Martin, and Alder got
another in 9th on his hit, and hits by
Barrett and Leland. With three on
base and two out, Alton tried hard to
get hit but couldn't make it, and
thus the nine spasms were over.
The High School put up good game
practically errorless. Thach pitched
good ball. Dunwody and W. Pope Of
the regular Jasper team played third
and second in good style. Two double
plays prevented Sequachee from scor-
ing, and theymade near attempt at
third.
Prof. Hackworth officiated as um-
pire, and called splendid game.

Cemetery and Ghurchyard
Cleaned Off.

The graveyard cleaning off, or to
put it in a more embellished phrase,
identifying, held Saturday last, was a
decided success. There we're few fam
lilies in town that were not represent
ed by some of it's members, at some
time in the day, and they worked with
a hearty good will. Work was COM
menced at an early hour, by quite
large delegation, which was augment
ed at intervals during the day as the
residents could spare time from their
other duties to go up and put in a few
licks. The front fence had been taken
down-it was in delapidated condi-
tion-by Rev. Hibbett, the pastor, the
day before, and all material that was
good was hauled to the parsonage to
be utilized in the construction of
fence, which is much needed. All
the leaves we're raked up into piles
and burned, and the incense floating
to the sky told people that there was
something dong. A gang of pretty
girls removed the big mass of shingles
taken from the recently Cortrighted
roof. Two or three trees that had
yielded up the ghost were removed,
and the others trimmed up slightly as
to the lower branches. The graveyard
proper, now enclosed by fence was
also cleaned up, leaves being raked in
piles and burned.
But work as they would everything
was not done, according to the desires
Of the workers, and to add the finish
ing touches another working will be
called for in June, and we trust il
will he reSnouded to as heartily and
with such good will as this one was.
It was wonderful showing against
large amount of work.

MORE RIOTING

Heads were bruised. noses blooodied and many persons less severely injured. Cris Gov ington, negro bodyguard to voiiva. and Daniel Williams, a leader of the inde- pendents. were injured the most serious ly. Covington was knocked unconscious.
 The independents aramped on the porch of Zion Home" and later lighted cigarettes. pipes and cigars. When the smoking and the noise attracted the att tention of Volivas followers mock re- ligious meeting was started by the ''inde- pendents." This was more than the Zionists could stand so they rushed on the enemy. The "lndependents were routed.

 Saint James declares that the tongue of the natural man is full of deadly poison.
 Ills illustration seems to be that of a serpent: Alas, that in our fallen condi- ton 1t should be so true that "the poison of asps is under their lipsn' It is when we become new creatures, with a new mo- tive power and incentive of love instead or selhshness that the poison fangs are draWn The new mind, the new creature, can then use the lips to show for the praises Of God and bless his fellow men, Praising God-Injuring Men But note that the apostle calls our at- tention to the fact that some who have become people of God, some who do Him reverence, fail to take note of the fact that the same tongue with which they sing Divine praises and tell of Divine mercy they use to backbite, slander de- fame. crush, mortify scathe. Hay their fel- low men. Alas. we realize the truth of the ohargei And to realize means to corrett on the part of those who are seeking to do the Divine will and to be true disciples of the Redeemer fountain cannot send forth at the same opening pure water and brackish. Hence we may know that if With our tongues we are doing injury to our fellow men we are deceiving our selves with respect to our real attitude toward God. We may know that God will reject the prayers and worship com ing from a heart full of bitterness. anger, malice. hatred, envy. strife and manifest ing itself in acrimonious speech.
 It was Carlye who described sarcasm as being the natural language of the Devil" It was Faber who wrote NO one was ever corrected by sarcasm: crushed, perhaps, if the sarcasm was ciev- CT enough. but drawn nearer to God never.' Robertson wrote, Love is the remedy for slander.' Surely the golden, rule needs to be applied to our speech as well as to our actions Truly Bishop Jack son wrote.
