Another independence day finds the American
people more numerous, more powerful and more pros
porous than ever before in their history. They have
abundant occasion for rejoicing and for doing honor

''That these united colonies are and of right ought
to be free and independent States.
The men who put forth this great declaration, as
well as those who fought uphold it, had great and
serious problems to confront and solve. They were
equal to the task and we to-day are enjoying the
fruits of their labor We of this generation also
have our problems to solve They are most weighty
ones and the manner of their solution will determine
whether we are worthy successors of the patriots of
20 1t is for to show that the words of the great
Declaration have to-day even a larger broader and
fuller meaning than they conveyed to the minds of
its signers. We make it clear that we believe
that all men entitled to equality Of
only before the law but in business and in all civic
relations.

tyrants striking the best life of the Nation
They take the form of uuscrupulous men intent upon
increasing their own power and wealth at the
pense of their fellows. They hesitate at nothing,
however evil, to encompass their ends Too often
the people place such high political stations or
permit them to acquire wealth by means which are
unjust and illegal. 1t is from the thradom of such
men that to-day must declare our independence
They are constantly scheming prevent the equal

These utterances of Governor Smith will doubt
be heartily approved by all good citizens of Georgia
and of the rest of the country They represent the
sentiment of the best citizenship, South we'll as
North. There has been notable decrease in lynch

Logan Special Kills a Man.
Macarthur Democrat.

James Middleton, aged about
forty five years and single, was
killed by the cars at the crossing
near the electric light plant last
Thursday night. Ned Peacock
was on his way home about half
past nine at night when he found
Middleton. He reported the
matter at once and the man was
carried up town, where an ex-
animation was made by DR., O. S.
Cox and it was found that his
skull was fractured and both legs
broken. He lived until about 2
O'Clock next morning.
An extra conveying party of Lo-
gan business men home from a
picnic at Lake Alma, struck him.
For the past year Middleton had
been working in the mines at
Orston, and was considered a very
qnlet, peaceable man. 1t was
thought by some that he came to
Oreton from Middleport, but no
relatives or friends of the dead
man could be found there,
Coroner l.. w, Thorp held an in

death by being struck by Hoek

Hurrah for Molly.

Lincoln Park, N j., July L.
Frank Hooper, farmer who lives
near here, led his gray bull, Molly
coddle, out of ite pasture on top
of hill this afternoon. Hooper
was going to lead him home. At
the same time Melvin G. Stebbins,
with two friends, Harry Hitchcock
and Percy Watson, of Newark, was
climbing the gentle hill in an
automobile.

Hooper an6 Mollycoddle noticed
that at the same time. Molly
coddle began to below gently
like narrow gauge engine get

dig his heels into the ground and
get two hand hold on the halter.
The chauffeur, a young man of
no wide experience, laughed gay
ly, gave his horn a merry hOnk
and ran the lever to its last notch.
BY this time Mollycoddle was
believing like broad gauge en-
gine hesitating at flag st4tion
and throwing clods of earth about
40 feet into the air with his feet.
OF course Hooper had led Molly
coddle to the eide of the road.
But before the machine had reach
ed the top Of the hill Mollycoddle
charged. He had downhlll run
from an angle. He hit the corner
of the machine. The bull and the
automobile went up in the air to-
gether, but what they all did up
there was obscured by the mixed
cloud OF smoke and dust
Ultimately the automobile reele d
over into a ditch, its occupants
preceding it in time to land with
no more injuries than bruises.
Mollycoddle trotted up the hill,

piece of the machines hood on
one of his horns. Hooper then
led him away, chiding him severe

CONE FOREVER.

Ten years ago farmer put his ini-
tials on dollar bill. The next day he
went to the nearest town and spent it
with a merchant Before the year was
out he got the dollar back. Four times
in six years the dollar came back to
him for produce and three times he
heard of it in the pocket of his neigh
bors.
The last time he got it back four
years ago. He sent it to mail order
house. He never has seen that dollar
since, and never will. That dollar bill
will never pay any more school or
road tax for him, will never build or
brighten any of the homes of the COM
muhity. He sent it entirely out of
the circle of usefulness to himself and
his neighbors.
