SICNERS OF DECLARATION.
All Comparatively Young Men Who
Stood for American In
dependence.

They were all aware of the danger
that might result from their action,
but were proud to meet it, They de-
serve the great honor from each sue
ceeding generation, and the Fourth Of
July is a good time to express it, says
the Washington Star.
They were all young men-compara-
tively-their ages averaging 43 years
and months. Edward Rutledge, of
South Carolina, was the youngest, 81
years, while Benjamin Franklin was
the Oldest, 20 years. The occupations
they represented were: Doctors, 5;
lawyers, 30; farmers, Z; merchants
and mechanics, Q; surveyor, 1 shoe
maker, 1, and printer (Franklin), /.
Some one suggested to Charles Car
roll that as there were a great many
men of that name, if the cause should
fail, England would not know what
one to arrest. Yes, they WILL" and
Immediately wrote "Of Carrollton" af
ter his name.
AS the paper was being signed John
Hancock said: I'VE must all hang
together"
"Ay," answered Ben Franklin, I'VE
must all hang together, else we shall
all hang separately"
1t is a remarkable coincidence that
Jefferson, the author of the Declare
ton of independence, and John Ad-
ans, its great supporter, both after
wards presidents of the United States,
died on the same day, and that In
dependence day, 1926.
