BOYD Washington, July 7—Alexander Barnes, eastern vice-president of "the National Negro Puhlisibers’ associa tion, declared today that a broadcast by Gov. Olrn D. Johnston, of South Carolina, Wednesday night “will serve to aid in bringing negroes back to the republican fold.” Governor Johnston, speaking from Anderson, S. C., criticized Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, of New York, for attending what Johnston called “a negro drinking party.” Referring to magazine pictures taken at a gath ering of negro newspaper publishers and editors in New York a week "be fore the Republican national con vention, at which Dewey was nomi nated for president, Johnston said: “President Roosevelt has never been pictured at «, negro liquor par ty.” Barnes, who said he was at the cocktail party, announced he had sent the following telegram to John ston: “It might be true that President Roosevelt has never taken a drink with a negro. It is also true that neither the President nor Governor Dewey ever attended a lynching party. Both Hitler and Tojo have a record of officials of your state attending such a lynching party.” “The negro,” Barnes added in a abatement, “is tired of the leadership which the Democratic party is giv ing the country.” ^tWILD LIFE SOUTH CAROLINA IN I WITH PROF FBANKUN SHERMAN I HBAD'CLfrMSOM COLU!«*-D*PT OF ZOOLOGY FOR AUDITOR I hereby announce myself a can didate for re-election to the office of auditor of Newberry county, and pledge myself to continue to give my best efforts to the county and to abide the results of the Democratic primary election.

ANIMALS ON CIRCUS GROUNDS KNOW DEATH NEAR AND CRY Hartford, Conn., July 7—The ani mals on the circus grounds cried to day. There was no roaring from the lions’ cages. The big cats whined like most kittens. Circus folk wfare unable to ex plain the menagerie’s reaction to the holocaovst yesterday in which 139 persons were killed when flames swept through the big top. ^Gargantua’s screams turned into wailing that echoed across the Ringling Brothers Be mum and Bai ley circus grounds Where death scar red the ground. The animals cages were lined up in an oval around the ruins of the “greatest show on earth.” Their cages were blocked off so that they could not see the charred center (poles or the junk metal that was the cage for the animal act. One lion refused to eat. A tiger crouched on the floor of his cage and mewed mournfully during the night. A roustabout explained the strange quiet of the menagerie Which was broken only by the crying sounds. “The animals just know when death is near,” be said.

W. D. “BILL” HATTON MOSQUITOES The mosquitoes are a distinct group in our animal kingdom, and not only are they a nusiartce to us, but they transmit humaiU' disease, es pecially malaria. • For our purposlfcS^fy.'South Carolina we may consii mosquitoes are divided intOiii(^'’groups (1) the nan-malarial species known under the group name of Culex, and (2) the malarial species known as Anopheles. The female mosquito lays egjfs, the eggs hatch to “wigglers” which live in water, usually stagnant or quiet; the wiggler when grown changes to a pupa, and this hatches out into an adult mosquito. The Culex and Anopheles differ in all stages of life (egg, larva, pupa, and adult) but we will now consider only th? adults. The Culex (non-malarial) mosquito alights with body held parallel to the surface upon which it alights, wheth er on a person or on a wall; but the Anopheles (malarial) mosquito a- lights with body tilted at an angle to the surface, by this means with a little practice you can immediately recognize its group the moment you see an alighted mosquito. The Culex (non-malarial) mosqui to has the wings of even, uniform coloration, nearly clear or dusky, but, not spotted or mottled, but the Ano pheles (malarial) mosquito has sev eral spots or blotches or lighter or darker coloration on the wings. Thus, with a little (practice you can learn to know the group of a mosquito by a quick glance at its wings—even just one detached wing If the wing has been rubbed or worn these mark ings may be obliherated, but with a good unworn wing the distinction is easily recognized. We have several species (perhaps 4 or 5) of the malarial (Anopme- les) mosquitoes, and we have more than 30 species of the non-malarial (Culex) mosquitoes. Nearly every state health depart ment has at least one person on its staff who knows somewhat about mosquitoes. An important task of the Sanitary Corps in our Armed Services is mosquito-control, to as certain pools, ponds, etc., where they are developing and to supervise drainage or oiling to lessen their numbers. This is a brief glimpse of a large problem. LEGI.ESS LIZARD—“GLASS- SNAKE”, “JOINT-SNAKE” Of our six species of lizards in South Carolina this is the only one which is legless, and snake-like in appearance. How then may one dis tinguish it from a real snake? (Ans wer):—By the fact that all our jiz- ards have an ear-opening eacfh side at base of head, and they have mova ble eyelidiR (can wink); and this crea ture has ear-openings and eyelids,— hence it is truly a lizard and not a snake at all, notwithstanding that its size, appearance, wriggling motions and leglessness cause many persons to immediately declare it to be. a “snake.” This legless lizard is found from Virginia and Tennessee south into Mexico and northward in the Missis sippi valley to southern Wisconsin. It occurs throughout South Carolina ap parently more in the sandy sectitms and fewer in the mountains. It attains a length of about 3 feet, —about 1 foot or less from tip of snout to rectum, and about 2 feet or more from rectum to tip of tail,— thus about or more than two-thirds of the total length is tail. Color, vari able from brown to olive-green. .With all of our lizards the tail is brittle and easily broken off, and this is not fatal to the lizard, indeed, it may enable the creature itself to escape. A specimen of this legless lizard came to us which was 32 inches in length:—of this 10 inches was body and 22 mohes w<as tail; nine inches of the tail broke off in hand ling and was preserved but the crea ture lived on and did not seem to.be seriously inconvenienced. This brit tleness accounts for the “glass” in me of its names. Also when the tail >reaks it does so evenly, with pro jections which look as if it could be fitted back together again, hence the 'jointed” in one of its names, and this evidently gave rise to the idea that it can wrd does join itself "to- rethcr after having broken into pieces, but this idea is Wholly err on- x>us. It is this way;—if it merely breaks in two across the tail the tail- portion dies but tihe creature lives on; but if it be broken in two across the body (I E. across the alimentahy canal) the creature dies as the re sult. If end of tail be broken off the creatue wrill re-grow a new tip which is shorter than the original tail was, and of somewhat different color, whereupon the tail-tip is called a “horn” and the animal may then be called a “horn-snake.” Plenty of error and superstition about our in nocent legless lizard. It feds on insects, small reptiles, eggs, etc., and itself reproduces by the laying of eggs. As before stat ed it is not venomous.
