WONDERFUL WORK
OF A BLIND GIRL


Jackson Miss, October 16.-(Special)
Three or four months ago several charit-
able ladies of jackson "chpped in at
the instance of Mrs. j. N. Powers, wife
of the state superintendent of educa-
ton, and purchased a loom, or weaving
outfit for Miss Zelda Myers, graduate
of the state institution for the blind. She
went to work at once, and after she
had made few yards of carpet and
rugs /, a short notice was made of her
factory in the Times Democrat. and
since that time orders have come from
every direction--in and out of the state.
Miss Myers, though perfectly blind, is
now making her own living and feeling
independent. She handles the shuttles
just as well as If she could see what
she is doing. the only assistance required
beng someone to tell her the different
colors of the balls of twine or rags she
is using. She has just finished a big
contract for a lady in Tennessee, having
made her a rag carpet containing Is
yards. 1t is claimed, and is doubtless
true that there is no wear-out to these
carpets and they may be taken up and
washed at will. The rugs are very ar
tistically colored and blended in a way
that makes them an ornament for any
home.
