Blacksnake Beaten By Sparrows Kingston, N. C., July 7.?John Anderson yesterday, watched two song sparrows, little larger than wrens, whip a blacksnake nearly five feet long in woods near Elm Grove. The snake crawled 12 feet up a tree to where the birds haci their nest. There were fledglings in the nest. Anderson surmised, from the tumult that the sparrows made. The excited birds attacked the snake at the same time. They pecked at its eyes. Taking a hitch around the trunk with its body, the snake struck at them repeatedly, but sparrows managed to keep out of the way. They returned t<> the attack each time the snake drew hack its head after lunging. After several minutes the rejHile gave up and slid down the tree. At the bottom Anderson met it with a club. Tom .Heflin, scheduled to make a speech to a Ku K,ux gathering at Jamaica, N. Y.. on July 4th, failed to meet the engagement, although there were several thousand people, including 1,500 kiansmen on hand for the address.
