WEDNESDAY. MAY 1. 1929 Gratifying State of Bird Life in Florida While there ia no doubt tlml (•rent rlniniitfo was done to the bird life of die Everglades by hurricanes in Flor ida, it is encouraging to know, front a report made to the biological survey of the United States Department of Agriculture, that there are still num- of beautiful plume birds in this region. An otltciul recently made a trip through I lie I,alee Okeechobee re gion and hud an opportunity to wit ness a rare and beautiful sight, one that a Itird lover might expect to see but once in a lifetime. At a point about ten miles east and north of Itelle Glade, I'alin (tench county, and ns far as I'uhokee, In all a distance of about 25 miles, there were tlioit sands of American egrets and snowy egrets, stretching away as far as one could see. It was impossible to esti mate the number of these beautiful birds. Within 100 yards of Itelle Glade not less than 300 snowy egrets fed unmolested. While there seemed no reason for these birds gathering in such inst numbers In tins territory, the sight was positive proof that the plume birds of Florida have benefited by the protection afforded them un der the migratory bird treaty act. Cat Long Considered Emissary of Witches Cats have bulked large ia the thought of both the Old world and the New. During the first of tlie more notable witch trials at Chelmsford, England, In 1500, it was charged that a white-spotted cat named “Sntham," which sucked blood, had taken the form of a toad and caused tiie death of a man who happened to touch it. An injunction widely followed was that eats must be kept away front a corpse to prevent them from mutilat ing it nr from "taking the soul of the dead.” Increase Mather wrote: “There are some who, if a cat acci dentally comes into tlie room, though they may neither see it nor are told of it, will presently he in sweat and ready to die away.”- in eastern Kan sas a cat washing Iter fare before breakfast foretells rain; in western Maine a storm is assured if a cat scratches a fence; in Seilly Cove, Newfoundland, tradition asserts that when a cat drowns in salt water, show ers from the heavens may be expected British Monarch’s Title James I wished to use the title of "King of Great Britain” instead of “King of England and Scotland,” and even went so far as to have it placed on his coins, in 100-1 lie asked par liament to consent to the new title, but fears were expressed lest the laws and liberties of England might be jeopardized and the comjnons urged that some agreement as to tlie terms of union precede assumption of the title. James finally yielded to the advice of his minister, Robert Cecil, and Hie change was deferred. The title did not receive parliamen tary sanction until the Act of Union, 1707. Regiment’s Wooden Sword Whenever the Tenth infantry of the United States army appears on parade ei I her at iis home station, Fort Thomas, Ky., or in Cincinnati, near by, one noncommissioned officer always marches along, carrying a wooden sword. This sword was carved from a tree which still stands at Devil’s den, on the Gettysburg battlefield, where the forerunners of the present regimen! took part in the decisive struggle. The sergeant who has served longest in the regiment is accorded the honor of carrying the sword. The Verdict A prominent politician who has a grand oratorical style is generally known by tiis Christian name, which happens to be Charles. One day he rose before a crowded meeting and in a forceful and solemn tone began his speech as follows: “Heaven is nty witness, and you, my fellow countrymen, are the jury." Here came an oratorical pause, and then the silence was suddenly broken by a high-pitched voice ringing down front the gallery: “You’re guilty, Charlie!” —London Answers. Her Idea Little Mary, almost six years old, came home from kindergarten all thrilled, happily saying: “I modeled in clay today, mother.” “Well, Mary,” said mother, “What did you make?” “Olt, I made the Statue of Liberty." “Why, dear,” said mother, “you nev er saw the Statue of Liberty.” “I know that,” replied Mary. “1 just made It anyway and put a pipe in his mouth.” Green All Right A department store executive re lates: “We put a green boy in the shoe department yesterday. A lady came in and said she wanted to see misses’ mules. “1 don’t think Mrs. Mules works here,” said the boy.— Exchange. Banish Worry Worry is one of t lie grealest burdens we can carry through life. II saps more of our strength than any oilier one tiling. And it is so cowardly. Care seldom rides on the back of Ibe man who faces bis problems with courage. -Grit. ‘Marrying- Parson,” Rev. Thos. H. Marston Ordinary Thos. 11. Marston broke Hie record Saturday by marrying eight people in one afternoon—two of the young ladies being slaters In a double header ceremony with Miss Sara Wil son and Mr. R. E. Mann and Miss Ruby Wilson ami Mr. J. it. Howard. A tiling like that gets us all wrought ui* und excited somewhat like making a birdie or an eagle over tin Riverside golf course and we wonder why it doesn t happen oftener, not necessarily with us hut it makes us happy so lon,' as it happens with anybody. W’e wish these young people would come back up there and have their pictures made in a group with Tom holding the reins just as the race begins so we could run it in the Rockdale Rec ord. Others married on Saturday were Miss Bertha Williams and Mr. L. Thomas and Miss Lillian Seay and Mr. J. H. Oaks. In addition to these, Miss Goldie Ch,ewuiug and Mr. Dock Upchurch were married a day or so before and too, during the week Mr. Marston married eight colored people. Mighty fine Mr. Marston, you will have plenty of votes by and by, be cause you make friends in this way. Roaming Pastors Every time a congregation goes stale, it wants to change pastors. Two to five years is an average charge in these days of rapid progress —some- what like progressive Rook, therefore, it is refreshing to discover pastorates to the contrary as for instance that of Rev. Charles ,S. Henderson, who lias been pastor of the First Baptist church at Greenville, Miss., forty-nine years and lias just begun his fiftieth year. Now, can you imagine Conyers holding a pastor forty-nine years, ev en minus forty years, if you please. Hon. Frank Mann, one of the lead ing business men of Brunswick, Ga., spent several days of last week visit ing Mr. and Mrs. John F. Mann and Mr. and Mrs. W. o. Mann and other relatives in this section.
