hosts of the first magnitude at the big
dance given by them at Mason last
Saturday.
Among the 24O guests were visit

present at the affair. The Shriners
were arrayed in their distinctive head
gear, overalls and hospitality, while
few OF the drawer spirits among the
guests appeared i'll full dress suits.
The perfection OF detail of the ar

DELAYED MAIL

A petition is being circulated and
generally signed, asking the chief
clerk OF the railway mail service to
change the time OF the arrival of the
mail now reaching this place at $40
so as to have it arrive here at lao.
1t seems that after the third Of this
month the mail coming into Wabuska
for points on the Copper Belt road
was not taken on the Wabuska and
Ludwig train No. 8, as previously,
but was placed on train No. 4, thus
delaying the mail at Wabuska two
hours and consequently delaying the
delivery in Yerington.

inconvenience to the patrons of the

hoped the department will remedy

FEEBLE MINDED AND
DEAF CHILDREN

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 2.--The picture
If a group of five feebleminded chill
dren, which is being published in the
report of the National Committee for
Mental Hygiene to the Mississippi
Mental Commission, calls attention to
the waste of money in some of our
state institutions. DR.. Haines, scien-
tific advisor to the Mental Hygiene
Commission, with the superintendent
If the institute for the deaf and
dumb, picked out these children one
morning in December. 1913. from the
two rooms which aie devoted to-
handicapped children. In the popu-
lation of the institute for the deaf
there are probably twenty children
who have no right or title to be re-
ceiving the expensive training advan-
tages which are provided for deaf
children. Some of them are deaf
many of them can hear well-but they
are all eminently defective in their
nervous systems. They are feeble
minded children, whom no trainin
process can make into citizens. They
have so little ability, they can pro.
fit so little by experience, that they
can never learn to be able to make
their own livings. Several idiots and
imbeciles, formerly pupils at the insti-
tute for the deaf, are now inmates OF
the hospitals for the insane.
The institute for the blind has eight
IL ten children of the same class. One
family is represented by two boys who
have a brother in the group above al
luded to at the institute for the deaf
and dumb. Many of these children at
the two institutions have ancestors
through two, and thre generations
who were deaf or blind, or both ,as
well as mentally defective.
1t is important that these children
be taken out of these schools, where
such special facilities are provided for
those deprived Of sight or hearing. 1t
is equally important that they be de-
prived of the privilege of multiplying
their kind. If the state had an in
stitution for the feebleminded, such as
is provided for by the Mississippi
Mental Deficiency Bill, the present
expensive educational procedure
would be saved, these children would
be getting the kind of training for
which nature has endowed them; they
would be happier than they are under
lpresent circumstances ;and by the
|custody provided they would be pre-
vented from multiplying. The Mis-
Isissippi Colony for the feebleminded
Twill save money of taxpayers and il
will improve the citizenship of the

MAN LOSES TOOTH
Was knocked Down But Was as Quick
as Cat to His Feet and Shoots
Fleeing Negro in Leg

The following from the Greenwood
Commonwealth of Dec. 20, gives an
account of the Quickness and shooting
ability of former Oxford man, Paul
White:
Mr.. Paul White, policeman OH the
city force, was struck in the mouth
by Tonic Salter, negro whom he
arrested today at noon at the instiga-
ton of the Memphis officers, where
the man is wanted on charge of
burglary.
Mr.. White had just arrested the ne
gro On Johnson street near the South
ern Depot. He searched him and had
started the negro ahead of him toward
the city Jail. The prisoner wheeled
suddenly and struck Mr.. White in
he mouth with his fist, knocking
me tooth out. The negro then ran
west on Johnson street and was fired
lpon by the officer. One of the bull
cts took effect in the negro's leg and
he fell to the ground after running
two blocks. He was taken to the city
iail. He will recover.
The city officers here were notified
by the Memphis officials to look out
for the negro as he was a bad char
acter having the reputation of being
a gunman.
