Texas, helpers on a crew of oil
Grillers on a Gulf Oil Company
well near Currie, Texas, were
instantly killed today when one
Of the boilers exploded from an
unexplained cause. Another
workman was slightly hurt.
When the sad news of the
untimely death of Ezra Davis,
oldest son of l.. w. Davis, a life
long residence of Virgins, was
received here Tuesday, the en-
tire community was shocked.
Mr.. Davis received a message
carly Tuesday and the news soon
spread throughout the commun-
ity.

was laid to rest in the Wiggins
Cemetery in the afternoon, Rev.

school children. The activities
Of the Red Cross include the
work of fifteen salaried eXecu-
tive secretaries, tn organization
Of the Junior Red Cross in the
schools, the part of entire sup
port of nine county nursing
services, and home service for
ex-soldiers. Also, the Red Cross
pays the salary of the state
director of nurses, and has two
social workers at the federal
veterans hospital at Gulfport.
Education
Since rural conditions predo-
inmate in Mississippi, the rapid
development of rural school con-
solidation in this state is especi-
ally significant. Consolidated
schools are organizing the So
cial resources Of the rural COM
munties. Also, the state de-
partment of education is doing
effective work in the supervision
Of negro schools and the devel-
opment of vocational training
Its vocational rehabilitation
work was begun in 1921. APP
plications have been received
from 922 persons, aid and been
given 1885, hospital treatment
has been provided for &C, there
are now in training 308 and 50
have been trained, placed on a
job, followed up, .and dismissed
as rehabilitated. The forty
eight county agricultural high
schools and the state agricul-
tural and mechanical college are
directing the attention of the
boys and girls to the agricultur-
al resources of the state and are
laying the foundation for bet
ter economic life, which is es-
sential to social progress. The
Y. M. C. A. and Z w. G.. A.
are doing valuable work in the
state. In a number of indus
trial communities the work of
the Y. M. C. A. is comprehen-
sive and remarkably effective.
Dependents
At Beauvior, the old home of
jefferson Davis, the state cares
for dependent Confederate vet
Grams, their wives, widows, and
war servants. About 275 are
there now, and the treatment
IS excellent. The state pays out
$800,000 annually in pensions,
practically all of which goes to
this class ofsdependents outside
the home.
The Old Ladies' Home Asso-
citation cares well for about 10C
old ladies in it's home at Jack
son. The state makes small
donations to this institution.
There are eight private or
phanages in the state, as fol

Just fifty years ago Mississ-
ippi ratified the thirteenth,
fourteenth, and fifteenth amend
rnents to the federal constitu-
ton, and formally effected the
political promotion of more than
one-half the states population
from a condition of slavery to
that of full citizenship. Three
years later, in 1876, negro rule
was overthroWn. Students of
southern history are familiar
with the conditions of this
period, and there is no need for
their rehearsal here. 1t should
be stated, however, that an in
telligent appraisal Of subse-
ouent developments, or the lack
of them, must be based upon
a thorough understanding of
the economic, biologic, and
psychologist assets and liabili-
ties with which the state enter
ed the last half century.
During the first half of this
period economic and political
problems almost monopolized
attention. About 1900 there
was some eXtention by the
churches of child-caring activi-
ties. Six years later the convict
lease system was abolished, and
the present penitentiary system
was established. The depart
ment of public health inaugural
ed comprehensive program in
1910, and soon afterward public
education made socially signifi-
cant departures. Doubtless a
present view of conditions in
Mississippi, which would inter
est the social worker, should in
clude information concerning
health work, certain phases of
education, and the treatment of
the dependent, defective, and
delinquent classes.
Health
Mississippi has we'll devil
oped department of public
health. It's own program is
extensive, and it co-operates
fully with the United States
public health system and with
counties and other local units
in campaigns against all epide-
mics and endemic diseases. AS
Il rule towns of 5000 or more
population have one or more
hospitals. The state has seven
general charity hospitals, and
grants subsidies to number of
private hospitals for the treat
ment of charity patients. The
Kings Daughters have hosp
itals in all sections of the state.
The state is now completing
probably the largest tuberculo-
sis sanitorium in America. The
department of education CO.
operates with health agencies
and the child welfare bureau of
the health department is doing
. splendid health work among

Much interest is being mani

CITY EXTENDED
Railroad Commission Inform
ed of Voluntary Action by
Express Company

The state railroad commission has
been informed by the American Rail
way Express Company that it will
voluntarily extend the free delivery
limits in the ecity of bismarck, as
suggested by the commission after
going over the ground upon complaint
by T. X. Atkinson and others.
The territory in which the free de-
livery will be given is nearly as large
again as at present The greatest
extension is IN the Riverview and
Northwest portions of the city. 1t is
extended in the north part of the
city from Avenue A to Avenue F, and
in the eastern part from Ninth street
to Tenth street.
The new service will be established
shortly after receipt of new trucks
and equipment for handling the
business, the railroad commission has
been informed.
The city had not been re-zoned for
free delivery for many years, and has
outgrown the former limits.
