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.
The United shipping board has decided
to dispose of the government's
passenger ship operating business, including
29 ships. ' The govrenmont
will still own 230 cargo vessels after
the sale of the passenger ships.
