Five White Men, One Negro Burned
   Five white employees of the Southern Advance Bag and Paper
Company of Hodge, with one negro employee, are in the Ruston-Lincoln
Sanitarium at Ruston, suffering from severe burns sustaind early
Thursday morning when a tank containing hot liquified wood pulp
exploded, showering the six employees with the burning fluid. The
white men are Jack Meek, John Charles, C. E. Corley, Crawford
Rasberry and Gordy Williams.  The negro, Manuel Rogers. Meek,
Charles and Rasberry were formerly employees for many years of the
Hodge-Hunt Lumber Company of Hodge. Corley, Williams and Charles,
according to latest reports this morning were still waging a valient
fight for life, while Meek, Rasberry and the negro, though
dangerously injured, stand a better chance for recovery. Ambulances
from here rushed to Hodge immediately following the accident and
carried the injured men to the hospital, where Ruston doctors joined
Hodge and Jonesboro doctors in alleviating the suffering workmen.
