THE COMING OF THE FOURTH.


The coming of the Fourth of July
each year is accompanied with in
creased misgivings and dread, and
there is reason for tan explana-
ton of the general fear of the ap.
proach of the day for the expression
of the highest patriotism in this
country. The Milwaukee Sentinel
very nicely covers the ground as fol-
lows Ill
The great event of the summer is
rapidly approaching. Already spor-
adfc explosions of firecrackers, occa-
sional cracking of torpedoes or the
unexpected appearance after nightfall
or a modest Roman candle or fee
bic skyrocket inspires the adolescent
resident with glee and depresses and
renders aprehensive the nervous
mature person. $s Z
From now on the manifestations
VIII become more frequent, culmin-
atfng week from Thursday in the
saturnalia of noise, smoke and con-
fusion with which America celebrates
its natal day.
All OF this may be highly patriotic
and probably is considered commend
able by most children of all ages.
The immature mind, no matter what
the age of its possessor, is always
appealed to by noise. Which, by the
way may explain the tremendous
vogue Of some orators among GER
tain classes of the community. Any
nay, no one grudges the little folks
Their. enjoyment of the amusing fire.
cracker of the innocuous torpedo.
Neither does anyone, even the most
nervous, cofplain at the fireworks
display With which many people find
it necessary to vent their patriotism
at night. 8558s.
/. But there is a class Of citizens and
a kind OF celebration whose patriot
ism is open to question. The drunk
en- or half-witted grown man who
" "
goes charging up and down the pub
lie highway, armed with dynamite
cane, a bunch of cannon crackers or
any other continuance Of that sort,
indisecriminately exploding his trea-
sures; frightening horses; annoying
peaeeable citizens and generally max
ing a nuisance of himself, is not pat
riotic. Neither is he amusing. He
is simply nuisance and he should
be promptly suppressed.
Bad as he is, however he is not
SO thoroughly unbearable as the per
son who discharges firearms, espe-
cia1ly when those firearms, as FIRE.
quently happens, are loaded with ball
cartridges. This kind of fool should
be sternly and sumfarily dealt with,
and, to the credit of the police be it
said, he usually is so dealt with when
ever he is caught.
Each Fourth of July rolls up a
large list of casualties most of them
trifling, some serious and entirely
! too many fatal. Careful investigation
shows most of these serious and ia.
tai ones to lave been the result OF
grown up imbelciles engaged in oisy
I demonstrations with dangerous ap
pIfances.

ing case. He, pointed ont that if
panic should result from the lower
ing of passenger rates, the State Ct
North Carolina would have to share
the burden of responsibility.
Discussion Of this phase Of the com
2troyersy was brought about by ques.
lion asked Mr. Plant by Mr.. Justice,
Speaker of the North Carolina Legis-
slature, as to whether there was con:
gestion on the Southern Railway lines
in North Carolina.
Mf Plant replied that congestion
had been relieved to some extent
during the last six months by means
of Improvements to the Southern sys-
tenn: Asked if he attributed the con-
gestion to the recent act of the North
Carolina Legislature reducing passen-
ger rates, Mr.. Plant replied that the.
more the rate legislation the less con-
igestion there would be because legis-
.lation would lave a tendency to de-
crease business in the cotlltty as d
whole. 1tI mean to say,o added Mr.
Plant that the greater the agitation:
against the railroads of the country,
the greater the probability of q de-
crease in general trade.'
Tie reason why the Southern Rail
way does not increase its facilities
for moving traffic faster than now
Mr5Plant explained was that TIM
Southern has not the cash to pay for
such additional facilities. 70 get the

That the Southern railway has been

Ashville, N. c., special.-A Sad
tragedy occurred Saturday afternoon
about 4 O'Clock when Hugh Postell, .
former street car conductor and WELL
known young man Of Asheville, shot
and almost instantly killed Ed. Ed
wards his crstwhile good friend and
close companion, the killing occurring
in the rear Of the J. M. Hearn & co.
bievcle establishment where Edwards
was at work.
According to the best information
obtainable the killing was the result
of a slight quarrel started Friday
over trivial matter, q matter OF one
dollar. Postell fred but one shot,
the bullet taking effect in Edward 5
head. AS he fred the shot Posteil
dropped the pistol and ran out of the
bicycle establishment, going in the dl.:
rcction of the French Broad river. A
physician was summoned but Edwards
was dead in a few minutes.
Officers at once started after Post
ell and met him in the vicinity of the
river. The slayer at the time was
headed back to the city. He did not
know that Edwards was dead and the
first question he asked the officers
was elbow bad Is he htirt7u When
deputy Sheriff Poland informed POST
ell that Edwards was dead; the prisori-

declaring that lie "loved him as q

that the officers allow him to 60 home

home they found Postell's mother

The meeting was pathetic. Postell
