THE FIREWORKS NUISANCE.

For years it has been subject
eof wonderment to us why the
American public, usually intellig-
emit, should continue to tolerate the
barbarous way Of celebrating the
Fourth. 1t is true there has been
a great decrease in the use Of the
FIRE cracker, but it is in intolerable
evidence yet. We can understand
why boys want to make a great
noise, but why parents will violate
their sense of prudence to humor
and cultivate barbarous pro-
pensity in their children is diff
ficult problem to solve.
The danger to life and property
ought to be sufficient to arouse
them to sense of duty to their
children and to their neighbors.
But these things are passed up as
trivial, and children are allowed to
pepetrate a nuisance on our
national birth day that, on other
occasions, would be emphatically
denied them. r Hs :
Every Fourth. many lives are
lost, and hundreds of people are
wounded and SCARED for. life. II
is inexcusable on the part of any
parent to permit child's life to be
exposed to such danger. The
parent whose child becomes man.
gled realizes the truth of our claim.
Il is no more nor no less true be-
fore the accident than after it. 1t
is no more horrible for your child
to be destroyed than for the child
of another parent. Every claim
made against the fireworks NUS
ance is as valid before as after an
accident. Why stultify your in
telligence, and abrogate your sense
of right in obedience to a disgust
ing and dangerous fashion.
More than twelve million dollars
were spent in fireworks in one day
last week. That money was vast
ed. 1t will not do to say that the
manufacture of those fireworks
gave men employment, and there
fore the country is not the loser.
That is mistake. You must
prove that the wasteage of that
amount produces a good equivalent
to the sum expended before you
are entitled to that claim. The
money is wasted, barbarously vast.
ed. That is the whole story.
We are well pleased that in such
cities as Minneapolis, the habit is
discountenanced by the more in.
telligent class of citizens. Com.
paratively small sums are expended
In fire works. And the habit is los.
ing ats hold upon the people, as
they reflect more upon the
enormity Of the danger involved
May the time soon come when the
barbarian's method of showing
our patriotism will have passed
away from among us

CHATTANOOGA SOUTHERN Has
BEEN ACQUIRED.
Purchase Will Give Montgomery . Di
rect Train Service To Tennessee
City BY Way Of

Montgomery now has a direct railroad
line to Chattanooga.
The Louisville and Nashville Rail-
road Company has bought the Chatta-
nooga Southern. a road running from
Gadsden. Etowah County, to the Ten
nessee city. and 1t Is probable that the
Louisville and Nashville will, at an ear
ly date, operate trains direct from Bir-
mingham to Chattanooga. There is al
ready a direct line of the Louisville and
Nashville from Birmingham by way of
Oneonta and Alfalfa, to Gadsden, and
also line over the Alabama Mineral
from Calera to Gadsden.
The Chattanooga Southern Company
went into. the hands of receiver in
1892, and as 1t paralleled the line Of
the Alabama Great Southern, one Of
Railway, has not been a paying prop
erty Now. however. with the Nash
willie. Chattanooga and st. Louis. one OF
the controlled lines of the Louisville
and Nashville. 1t will be an important
link in that great system.
The Louisville and Nashville will get
traffic from the Alabama Mineral at
Gadsden, and from the Nashville, Chat
tanooga and st. Louis at Chattanooga.
1t will be the opening of very import
ant freight route and Montgomery mer-
chants will get q direct line to Chat
tanoogs by ethel Birmingham or Ca

The Seaboard Air Line Is the only
local railroad besides the Louisville and
Nashville to suffer any apreciable ef-
fects from the recent rains.
The Seaboard escaped Until yesterday

yesterday morning a local freight train
out of Montgomery was ditched at this

The result was that train No. II. due
from Savannah at p. M. had to leave
