CAR KILLS TWO HORSES
Franklin Morris, Jr.,Driver; Jesse
Dickson Receives Broken Wrist


A car driven by Franklin Morris,
Jr., of this town, struck and killed
two horses in group of eight
which ran across his path on the
Millington road, just over the
Maryland line last week. Riding
with Morris were Jesse Dickson,
who sustained a fractured wrist,
and Robert Adams, both employees
of the State Welfare Home here.
The horses belonged to M. Bramble
of Millington, and according to
Morris, they darted in front of his
car before he could apply the
brakes. The car is a total wreck,
it was stated. Both Morris and
Adams escaped injury.

Answer to Yesterdays Puzzle
UNCLE RAYS CORNER

In our homes we use boxes of
one kind or another to store food.
They may be kept cold with old
fashioned cakes of ice brought by
the iceman, or in an electric re-
frigerator.
Animals do not have cold boxes
In which to store food, but some OF
them know how to keep it safe. AS
one example we may speak of squir-
rels which bury acorns. hickory
nuts and so on in the ground; in the
winter, when they are hungry, they
dig up what they have buried.
Some woodpeckers on this conti-
nent (but not all of them drill
holes in the sides of trees, and place
acorns in the holes. From many
of the acorns, worms Matched from
insect eggs come forth at later
time; the woodpeckers like to eat
such worms.
Perhaps the StrangeSt way Of
storing food is followed by honey
ants" Many of these ants live in
Texas and New Mexico.
Honey ants go out at night to
oak trees, and climb up the trunks.
At length they find small, reddish
brown swellings about the bark or
on. the leaves. The swellings are
gals" which grow at places where
certain insects have laid eggs.

Ants Keep Honeypots Inside Nest

If you could follow honey ants
down those little tunnels, you would
find storage boxes" or honey
pots" and would learn that the
honeypots are alive! Yes. IN nests
of that kind there are ants with
the special business of storing
honey.
The ants which have been out
side 60 to the honeypots and feed
them the sweet Juice they have
brought back. The juice is swal-
lowed and is stored in the ball
like abdomen, the size of a small
grape.
In winter the worker ants be-
come hungry, so they go to the
honeypots for food. With their
feelers they tickle the head of a
honeypot, as if to beg for come
thing to eat. In a short time out
of the mouth of the honeypot ant
comes drop of honey!

HONEY AVIS uHu INPH I1O7IeypOlS.
Worms hatch from the eggs and
spend time inside the gals.
Often the side of an oak gall has
a bit of sweet juice outside it, and
this juice is obtained by the honey
ants. After taking as much as they
can, they go back to their nest.
The nest usually is a small heap
of gravel two or three inches high.
Under the gravel are tunnels which
lead into the ground to a depth of
several inches.

!. his Is The
Tragedy OF The
South
BY James c. Derieux

In every Southern state thousands Of
boys are growing up without enough
education to meet the minimum rejuire-
ments of the Selective Servire organi.
cation. In some of the Southern states
more than half the Negro boys, and
fourth or more of the white boys are
excluded from the armed services be-
cause they have not fourth grade COM
mon school education, or its equivalent
These tens of thousands of boys are
unfit for the tasks of modern war; and
they also are unfit for the tasks of mod
ern peace. Thus there is no condition
of life into whirh they fit satisfactorily
What is to become of these illiterates
and these semi-literates who have nc
place in war, and no satisfactory place
in peace?
A study of relief rolls shows what
saggng fences, tumble-down shanties
and other visible signs of ignorance and
of poverty show what the lliterate and
the ssmi-literate accomplished before the
national government rescued them from
the sinister suggestions of hunger. OF
course, every one can cite instances of
successful illiterates, and of happy lii
terates; but a few selected instances
mean little. 1t is the conduct of the
masses, of important groups, that deter
mines whether a state or region or
nation builds strength and happiness, or
whether it allows hope to fade, and dis
indignation to begin.
South Carolina is representative Of
other Southern states, and here is what
study of school figures in that state
reveals:
Approximately three-fourths of all
Negro boys drop out of school before
completing the fourth grade, and ap-
proximately third of the white boys
do the same thing. If this situation IS
not remedied, South Carolina will be
forced to continue indefinitely its DIFF
ficult struggles against the consequences
of Ignorance an dof poverty, those dis,
aster twins, each of which is cause and

and Members
This comes to inform the Presidents
and Members of the H. B. A. that we
have added two (2) other claims to the
other twenty-five (25) paid off in the
September Board.
One of the claims was a member of
Lodge No. 354, Rev. j. E. Grace, Presi
dent, Porterville, Miss. The name of the
deceased member was l. W. Howard. The
other was a member of Lodge No Dol
Brother Will Bradford, President Heidel-
berg, Miss The name of the deceased
member was G.. A. Houze.
Quite few of our Presidents mailed
in their reports and did not send their
Echo and Publication fee. Therefore, we
were forced to return their reports to
them. Since that time, most of them
have mailed their reports back, together
with their Echo and Publication fee.
This has enabled us to add two more
claims to the twenty-five paid off in the
Sentember Board, making a total of II.

A LIFE TRUE LIVED

Are you keeping today that highborn pledge
Which your noble true self made
When the year was new the best in you
The best in life essayed?
Are you scoring high in the field of faith
And of-hope and of charity?
And the torch your bear, is trimmed with care
That tn wayside fallen may see?

There are needfuf ones are trusting you
AS guide for longed fine strand,
Who are looking to you as a pilot true
With course that is-prayfully planned
There are weary ones who are needing you
With your strength whehEstorms are rife
Who are-Hatching your lead in the hour of need
And are shaping their souls by your life
Hyou've turned aside from the course you set
And are proving to pledge untrue
With newborn faith that scorns doubt wrath.
Straightway your pledge renew:
Fora life true lived is Of far more worth --- ~
Than the brightest hope within
Or the sainttiast creed that lips can speed
