LEASTS MENACE
LIFE IN AFRICA
Former German Territory Over
run With Lions? Mission
aries Clash.
London.- -All Is not !<?> In the life
of British olllciale lu Tanganyika ter
ritory, formerly (ioimun Ka?t Africa.
Uons, leopards uiul elephant* menace
the population ; mianiouary Jealouuy
bewilders the pugan natives, and.
witchcraft, practiced by the wild Wa
pare of the Moshl district, cause* utany
helpless lnfunts to be put to death
annually.#
Aspect* of life la thla new British
territory are described in the 1022
report of the country, Big game
multiplied rupldly la Tanganyika dur
ing the war. I^lona frequently satisfy
their taste for human flesh at the ex
pense of life. Their boldness la In
credible, und whole villages have been
terrorised by their preaence. In the
flrst half of tits year rewards were
paid for the destruction of 800 lions
and 800 leopards. In Tubora district
alone 07 people were killed by lions.
Natlvsa Are Helpless.
Elephant* do great damage to crops,
often ruining a whole ^plantation In a
single night, or, entering the vlllagea,
they strip the roofs of grain storea
and scatter or consume the contents.
The nntlve too often assumes a fatal
istic attitude In the presence of dis
aster, and becomoa unwilling or un
able to help himself.
In Tanganyika witchcraft has ub
fatal effects on Infanta as wild beasts
have on adult nntlves. To the Influ
ence of the medicine men, says the
report, may be attributed the bar
barous practice of Infanticide which
prevails among the Wapare In the
Moshl district. Children born .with
HOlim HhnnrmolMy, "?? m" -
parents who have failed to undergo
Initiation into certain tribal cere
monies, are done to death by delib
erate starvation and. jieglect, or .by
exposure to the unhealthy climate of
the low country. Often parents would
not of their own accord abandon such
children, and In many cases have pre
ferred to give them away to strangers.
Rivalry Among Missionaries.
.When the elder# ?f the tribe were
addressed on this matter, there was
a decided tendency to recognize Its
evils and to adopt more enlightened
kleas, but a few were against the ab
olition of the custom on the ground
that the destruction of the tribes cer
tainly would follow. According to
these sages, life is altogether too pre
carious, and the number of acts or
omissions which they can cite as be
ing fatal is amazing; even to plant
? tree was pronounced to be equiva
lent to dooming one'# self to death.
Another difficulty confronting Brit
ish administrators in the territory Is
that of rivalry among missionaries. "It
!s greatly to be regretted that k spirit
of jealous rivalry has manifested Itself
In rprfnin between Chrlst'iHu
missions of different denominations,"
the report declares. "It arises from a
very natural and sincere belief In the
superiority of that branch of the com
mon faith which it la their pride and
their duty to preach to the heathen,
but it has often resulted In an undig
nified competition to extend the scope
of the mission beyond limits which a
proper degree of influence and control
would demand, and in attempts to
sot up schools in Juxtaposition of those
of another denomination. This open
display to the pagan of reltgtous dif
ferences cannot but react to the dam
age of the Christian faith.
. Natives Bewildered.
"Christian missionaries, by offering
one doctrine here, another close by,
and still another a few miles away,
must achieve little more than the com
plete bewilderment of the pagan na
tive, and It would be well If Christian
societies would recognize that the
principle of spheres of Influence la
ultimately to the clear advantage of
Christ lanlty as a whole, no less than
to that of pagan populations."

Army Ants Clean House.
The Indians of Guiana respect the
"army" ants because of their house
cleaning propensities. Every house,
from the rude thatched benub of the
Indian, to t lie solid wooden ones of civ
ilization, are more or less Infested with,
very large roaches and other insects,
nnd also huge tarantulas, which come
only to obtain the roaches. The "army'*
ants come not Infrequently In tremen
dous armies nnd in rtie course of a
few hours leave the homes cleaner
than they, have ever been before.
In tbesp great tribes there is but
a single queen. Her sole duty, after
the colony is once started, Is egK-lay
Ing. Periodically a brood of young
queens and males are hatched. These
little ants are winged and as so6n as
they are mature all of them leave the
tribe in what Is called the marriage
(light. Bach queen finds a mate. They
pair and the males soon die, but each
young queen founds her own new tribe
and, after bringing un the rverw
ers, herself, this little crowd sets about
to rear about themselves another great
band of "army" ants. ? Detroit News.
' "Indelible Allegiance."
The doctrine, known as "Indelible
allegiance," was formally abandoned
by act of parliament In 1870, Previous
ly the English law held that every
person born witihln the British domin
ions, though he should be removed to
another country in his Infancy, owed
allegiance to the' British crown, and
that this allegiance could never be re
signed or lost except by permission of
parliament.
The enforcement of the "Indelible al
legiance" doctrine of expatriation was
one of the chief causes of the War of
1812.
The same doctrine was originally in
force In the United States. It was not
until 1808 that the question was legally
settled. Congress then passed a law
asserting that expatriation or volun
tary renunciation of allegiance to the
I'nlted States by one of its citizens "Is
a natural and Inherent right of all peo
ple." ? Detroit News.

"Colored Elks Organize.
(Contributed)
On Thursday evening, January 17th,
between the hours of 9:30 P. M. and
1:00 A. M., a new Colored secret or
der was created in Camden, in the
person of I. B. P. O. of W.., or in
other words the Improved Benevolent
Protective Order of Elks ot the World.
The initiation was conducted by Dr.
Roscoe J. Wilson, State Deputy and
Exalted Ruler of the Atlas Chapter
of Elorence, S. C., and his crack ini
tiating team from Elorence. There
were fifty-three candidates initiated
and applications are now pending
from at least twenty more. The cere
mony will not be forgotten by those
who received the degrees on that eve
ning for many new and mysterious
tasks were imposed upon the candid
dates as they made their way through
the realm pf Elkdom.
The officers elected for the first ad
ministration were: H. E. McGirt, Ex
alted Ruler; Dr. C. C. Brevard, Es
teemed Leading Knight; S. J. English,
Esteemed Lecturing Knight; James
Alexander, Esteemed Loyal Knight;
Dr. T. J. Williams, Jr., Treasurer; J.
W. Williams, Einancial Secretary;
Paul B. McGirt, Recording Secretary;
John S. Myers, Esquire; R. H. Haile,
Chaplain; T. L. Collins, Inner Guard;
James Young, Tiler. The Trustees
elected were: A. R. Collins, E. C. Mc
Girt, and I. B. Alexander. The degree
of Past Exalted Ruler was conferred
upon Dr. J. H. Thomas who with H. F.
McGirt was instrumental in bringing
til*: organization io our city. The
organization promises to be probably
the strongest of its kind in the city,
judging from the number of candi
dates in the first initiation, the num
ber of applications pending and the
type of men who constitute the per
sonnel. The organization will be
known as the "Haiglar" Chapter of
I. B. P. O. E. of W., of Camden, S. C.
Then and Now.
Two of the older boys of Monroa
were discussing the tendency of the
time?. "When I was a youngster, a
dime for a couple of sodas was show
ing one'8 gallantry for bin girl at the
soda fountain," said the older, man.
"Yes," remarked the other, "and
your best girl in the good old days
would think you extravagant in pay
ing 20 cents for a couple of helpings
to ice cream. She would be thinking
of buying a cottage in which to live ?
and maybe canton flannel for ? ? "
"Uh-huh! And most of them sam?
girls have nice homes of their own
now/' said the first man, with a side
long glance at a youth nearby who
was pilffing away at a cigarette.
The youpg man then opined: "Your
girl nowadays knows you for a cheap
skate if you don't carry her at least
a Ave pound box of candy once a week,
and the best grades cost about a dol
lar and a half a pound. You're right.
This cost of high living is making a j

RUSSIAN LEADER DEAD,

termed a disgraceful peace!, Lenine
pushed through his plan. The alrqady
existing fraternization between Rus
sian and German soldiers at the front
was urged on to tremendous propor
tions. and after a ffrw montfraof the
Soviet regime, Russia had signed the
treaty of Brest-Litovsk and was def
initely out of the world conflict.
Internally-, Russian life was turned
upside down. Factories were taken
over by the workers. Great estates
were confiscated by the peasants, who
divided them among themselves. The
aristocracy sought any kind of safety
it could find,, and the middle class or
bourgeoise, became special objects foi*
the hatred of the masses. Free trade
was abolished and in its stead was es
tablished a system of gbvernment con
trol that rationed food, placing the
workingmen in preferred classes, arid
doling out little or none at all to the
othdrs. The use of money was con
demned, and grain, manufactured pro
ducts and labor became the chief me
dia of exchange.
Four, long dismal years passed du
ring whicji internal counter revolution,
in many cases assisted by allied in
tervention, kept Russia in a constant
turmoil. Enemies of the communists
assassinated some ^Bolshevik leaders,
and in September, 1918, Lenine, him
self was shot and severely wbundecl.

turned hia handa to the task ol]

aUuction, limine, with the darijte
characterized all of his major i
began what he called a. atrsgctw

of the civil war had never btd

a partial re-establishment of
