Horned Snake Dies.
Atlanta, Ga., June 19. —The
horn-tail or hoop snake, recently
captured on Marietta road by a
Cobb county farmer and brought
to the state capitol alive, has
died, and consequently legislators
will not have the opportunity of
seeing the promised wonder, but
the remains have already been
pickled in alcohol and will occupy
a permanent place on the shelf
in the state capitol museum.
This is the only snake of the kind
ever captured in Georgia. It has
a liorn like that of a cow on the
end of its tail, and popular tradi
tion is that in pursuing its enemy
it takes this liorn in its mouth 1
and rolls like a hoop.

STOP, LOOK, LISTEN PLAN
OF OSCAR UNDERWOOD.
Mr. Underwood Preaches the Doc
trine Of Political Uplift—
“ There Are Many Changes
Taking Place,” He Says,”And
The March Leads to Progress
of Mankind. ”
i
Charlottesville, Vn., June 17—
A plea for conservatism in poli
ties, a “stop, look listen,” poli
cy to guard against hasty adop
tion of ill-considered proposals,
was the keynote of an address on
*
“Tendency of Our Tames” deliv
ered at the University of Virgin
ia today by representative Oscar
W. Underwood, of Alabama, dem
ocratic leader of tin* house of
representatives. It was a nota
ble occasion at Charlottesville

past reassembled to pay tribute
to their alma mater. Mr. Ujtder

uates
Mr. Underwood preached the.
doctrine of the political uplift.
“There are many changes” he
said, “taking place today in the
political, economic and industrial
development, of the nation. To
tn.“ man lost in tlie maze of his
own business, who lias not the
time or desire to climb to ‘the
heights above bis own personal
desires and ambitions, the way
seems dangerous and the onward
march beset with perils. But
the man who is not tied down by
the personal equation is ale to
realize the line of march leads
to the progress of mankind and
uplift of society.
