' highway just a couple of mrlcs* west
<>f this city on Friday night. When
jlho ter.nanl. Bart McMillin, a color-,
[ e?l man arose on Saturday morning
I hi* found two of the mules dead. One
of the mules which was killed was
(found lying down but the other one
'had simply dropped to its knees and 1
I was reclining much in the manner of
a dog at rest.
F??ur mules were in t.ho ham duri
:ng the storm and they were stabled !

j end were killed and the two mules in
i the center were unhurt.

a ten per cent divident by the

bank has declared."?Bishopville Messenger.
Tennessee is to have Sunday moving

vote of the municipal governing
body.
The Evidence That Sadden*
An intelligent reader has kindly
sent in some cumulative fig-urea
along the lines that have been suggested
from time to time in these
columns. For instance, the United
States Public Realth service surveyed
8,OIK) urban families,, in 10 localities.
Results proved tliat in 11)32 there
were 48 per cent more births in families
without employment than in
those with one or more full time
workers. Also that family on relief
rolls had u birth rate 64 per cent
higher than those not on relief. The
Federal Unemployment Relief Census
furlner shows that between October
1082 and October 1033, there were
233,822 children born to families receiving
public relief. A little over
three millions of these families, had
all told nearly two million children
under six years of age. They are
styled "depression babies."
For a long time the Roman Catholic
church was said to be aggressively
opposed to birth control. Investigations
now show that the church is
rapidly modifying its position. The
names of books of this nature are
given, written by Catholics and with
ecclesiastical sanction. Father O'Brien
says there is "unemployment, lack
of sufficient means to provide food
and clothing for the children already
born."
Needless to say that the ignorance
which puts the responsibility upon
a go<xl and all-wise God for flooding
the country with a surplus, hungry,
ragged, ami unemployed population,
is beyond all argument or correction.
