IL alleged connection of DR.. Edwin De-
barr, vice president of the university.
with the ku Kiux kian, and declared
that activity on the part of any Off.
cial or employe OF the university with
such an organization was "in direct
violation Of the policy Of the unver.
sity."
Mr.. Muldrows statement follows:
Act Was Violation.
The alleged connection of DIR. Ed.
win DeBarr, vice president of the state
university with the Ku Klux Klan was
in direct violation of the policy of the
university as set forth in the following K
resolution. which resolution was unani-
mously passed at a meeting OF the
board Of regents held in Oklahoma City
on April 20.
Owing TO the controversy that exists
throughout the state in connection vita
the Ku Klux klan and the anti-ku
Klux klan, and the dependency OF the
university on retaining the good will
of all factions and all parties. we believe
it unwise for members OF the faculty
or employees Of the university Of Okla.
homa to place themselves in a position
where they will need to take active
part In such controversy"
Without Brooks Consent.
DR.. DeBarr's alleged activity in the
recent democratic primary in connec-
tion with the Ku Klux Klan occurred
during the absence and without the
consent of Stratton d. Brooks, presi.
dent Of the university. No member of
the board of regents had any knowledge
that DR.. DeBarr had continued active
connection with the ku lIlux Khan until
few days ago, the board having as
sumed that its policy as set forth in
the above resolution would be and had
been followed.
Insofar as his actions have been
political, they were in violation Of the
instructions Of the president Of the
university TO the effect that the faculty
and employees should refrain from active
participation in politics.
Keep Clear Of Faction.
THE policy OF the University OF Ok.
lahoma has at all times kept clear on
factions and parties and to render all
citizens OF the state. irrespective OF
creed or party. fair, loyal and efficient
service"
DR. DeBarr is the oldest member of
the university faculty in point OF years
of service. having been there IS years.

CAN'T DO THE WORK.

It's too much to try to work every
day against a constant, dull back
ache, or sudden darting pain in the
small of the back. Be rid of it. Try
Doan's Kidney Pills. Your neighbors
recommend them.
j. C. Hughes, Engineer on S. R. R.,
Edgefield, says: 81 used Doan's Kid
ney Pills several times and always
found them good. My back gave me a
great deal of bother. The jolting of
the engine shook me up a great deal
and this irritated my back and kid
neys. It was hard to climb into my
cab because of the stiffness in my
back and sharp pains stabbed into
my kidneys. I didn't rest well nights
and was compelled to get up and walk
around in order to relieve the pain
across MY back. My kidneys acted too
freely but Doan's kidney Pills re-
lieved the trouble. I am glad to rec
ommend them"

Large Still Destroyed.

Friday Sheriff W. R. Sweraingen,
accompanied by Mr.. Wallace w.
Wise and Mr.. Warren Paul, destroyed
a large still about 500 yards from the
Plank road just below the farm of
Mr.. E. M. Padgett. 1t was a large
steam outfit that had been in opera
ton a short time before. Several
hundred gallons of mash we're de-
stroyed. There was no one at the
still at the time the raid was made.
After destroying the still the raiding
party learned that two negroes from
that neighborhood had carried some
whiskey to Johnston in an automobile
Friday morning, so they left for
Johnston. About midway between
Trenton and Johnston they met the
two negroes, Robert Gaines and Bill
Terry, returning and upon searching
their car found a quart and a half of
liquor in fruit jars. They then went
to Johnston and searced the place of
William Bryant, another negro, find
ing something over a gallon Of whis-
key which was sold to him by the two
negroes in custody. They were all
three brought to Jail but William
Bryant was released on bond. The
other two, Robert Gaines and Bill
Terry, are now in Jail awaiting trial.

have confidence in each other restor-
ed. 1t was, viewed from every stand
point, an ideal occasion, given by
ideal hosts at an ideal place. By the
way, it is worth travelling many miles
to see this stately old Southern home,
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Sanders,
which was erected 125 years ago but
is as well preserved today as if it
were only erected a decade ago. OF
course, Mr.. Sanders made many i'm
provements upon it after purchasing
it several years ago, including re-
painting inside and out. It is said that
a former owner of this rare old home
was offered $500 for one Of the hand
carved mantels which is a real work
of art.
Edgefeld people realized and ap-
preciated the worth of Mr.. and Mrs.
Sanders when they lived here, giving
them up with reluctance, and we are
pleased to know that the good peo-
pie Of Antioch also appreciate their
unselfshness and real worth to the
community. Would that our town
and county had more Of their kind.

Power of Sight in Animals.

The two familiar expressions, IAN
eaele's eye" and "Blind as a bat"
lust about sum up the average per-
sons knowledge of the sense Of sight
in animals. The popular impression
is that all large, dangerous animals
of the jungle have powerful eyes;
but, in fact, many are decidedly weak
in sight.
The elephant has poor eyes, and re-
lies on his other senses, mostly on
smell, to compensate for this. Also
the rhinoceros sees but a short dis
lance, md depends on his sense OF
smell, evo~ in charging an enemy.
The buffalo has good eyes, but those
of the bear are so poor that when a
little confused he will run directly
over the hunter he is trying to avoid.
Bears eyes are dramatically describ-
ed as "red, trimmed and savage" but
bears, ordinarily, are not quarrel
some, and prefer to use their eyes IN
retreat.
! Power of the eagles eyes is pro-
verbal, but the hawks are nearly as
remarkable. All birds that are speedy
travellers have fine sight-a provision
of ,.+,,re to prevent their collision
With
as thrushes, Warblers, vireos, etc.,
see well, as is proved by their going
to any place they choose. The fact
that they often fly against l%ighthous-
es and are killed is no proof that they
do not see, but indicates that the
light confuses them, and as they near
it, blinds them to the house itself.
You and I can see an automobile sew
eral yards away, even on a dark
might, but if the headlights are on and
extremely bright, we may see only
the light as the machine bears down
on us. Moths fly into a candle flame
because of confusion; their sight is
strong enough to avoid the collision,
but when the flame blinds them to
everything else, they become panic
stricken and dash straight for 1t.
Even game birds act as though blind;
a covey of cartridges, if flushed near
the sea, will sometimes fly out and
Hight on the waves. They can SWIM
but little and are generally drowned
by this act which ordinarily they
would assiduously avoid. The guns
report excites them beyond self
control.
think we would be safe in saying
that on an average, birds see n hun
bred times better than man. BY watch
ing each others actions birds will 60
a hundred miles to a carcass; ami IN
der favorable atmospheric conditions
la bird can see a worm on freshly
ploughed ground at a distance OF
three hundred feet.
The bee, though the strength OF
it's sight is not remarkable, has a won
derful ocular equipmnet-fve eyes,
a cluster of tree on top of its head,
and one on each side. BIOLOGISTS; say
that the compound eye on top is SO
made as to be specially adapted for
detecting moving objects; and this
seems reasonable, as the bee has
