LET DIXIE" STAND AS IT'S
Atlanta Georgian.


Don't mUtilate Dixie" 1t means
much. II is part of our history
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
Purely Southern in its sentiment. Il
Is singular fact that the strongest
and most indignant pT tests against
the proposition to change the words
of Dixie" nave come from the north
eTn press. To the protest of the kO-
chester Democrat and Chronicle the
New York Herald adds its voice.
1T IS a very cOld-bloode,i nortberner
who does not Jingle at the sound %
the stirring southern melody. Already
it is as much the nations possession
as America Let il alone"
To these the Georgian adds its own
earnest protest against any change in
the song that is at once the war cry
and the paean of the South. It's NOV.
ing melody and inspiring strains have
Ifted men and women north and
south of that intangible line known as
Mason and Dixon to great heights of
enthusiasm.
A true test of the feeling of the
people on this subject was illustrated
In St Louis a few days ago when
the new version was given and re-
celved with chilling silence. But
when the old familiar words and air
tH-iS Gut a great GuQlence Cn6PTp0 for
many minutes. Dixie is more than
Southern. 1t is national in spirit and
tone.
In 1892 the Chicago convention had
toiied all night toward a nomination.
"A great crowd stood the night
through in the Palmer house lobby
watching bulletins from the conven.
ton hall At O'Clock the news
Mashed of Cleveland's nomination.
mere were some cheers A band
somewhere struck Up Dixie" Instant
ly the crowd forgot the nights weary
ing vigil and became a delirium OF
cheering men. 1t was marvellous
tribute TO the old song
Let Dixie" stand as Ii was written.

A Warning to
Willie'S Parents.

Danger turks in the barrel of every
toy pistol, and toy cannon. The lives
of small boys and big boys, too, must
be carefully guarded today. The toy
cannon and pistol is not the only
danger ALI explosives are danger
Gus in the extreme, when carelessly
handled.
The story of willie and the didn't
Observation-Disclosures firecracker," is
too real to be lightly passed over
Willie puts his piece of punk to the
fuse. He doesn't notice that it lights
instantly. He becomes impatient He
blows on it-then-bangi W4lhe has
his pretty, rosy cheeks spotted with
grains of burned powder, his long
,, childish eyelashes are burned away
and often, too often, Willie loses one
of his eyes. Willie may not die, so
this case doesn't come under the lead
of the seven hundred and something
who have lost their lives, from that
most dreaded disease so popular on
the Glorious FNourth-lockjaw.
Willie fires toy pistol The cheap
iron oe which it is constructed bursts
with the force of the discharge, and
Whites hand is sadly torn by the
flying bits of iron He runs to
mother and mother kisses it and puts
cold water on it to keep from hurting,
then a bit of vaseiine, ties up the
| hand, dries willie's tears, and he runs
of to fire. more frecrackers.
a few days later Willie shows
symptoms of tetanus. A physician Is
| hurriedy called who probes the
wound, that Willie's mother wrapped
in vaseIine, and draws out a bit o.
Cartridge wadding. The antitoxin is
applied, but it is too late. Willie dies,
suffering with most dreaded disease.
The Journal has published the
warnings of the state health depart
ment, also that issued by the u s,
Marine Hospital Corps, the latter Civ
ing the emergency treatment The
latter is reprinted herewith. The
journal hopes that the treatment will
not be necessary, in Pensacola today,
but, if so, that it be used promptly.
I
ut should be an invariable proce-
iure that all Fourth of July wounds
be laid fully open under local or, pref
erably. general anaetnesia. and all 1or-
eign material and necrotic or badly
injured tissue removed, as the pres
ence of blood clots and necrotic tissue
favor anaerobic conditions which are
essential for the development of the
tetanus organism. AFTER the wound
has been thoroughly cleaned out 1t
should be swabbed out with strong
carboiic acid, at least twenty-five per
cent. followed by a washing with
ninety-five per cent alcohol, TO pre-
vent further action of the acid. Some
surgeons use peroxide o. hydrogen in
stead of car'bolic acid.
after cauteTi7atiOn. by whatever
methods used, the wound should be
| thoroughly washed out with a 1000
! or 1:2, 900 solution of bichloride of
mercury and packed with Sauze soak
| ed in a saturated solution OF salycylic
or boric acid and large wet dressing
/ of the same solution applied. In no
case should the wound be closed. but
| ii should be allowed to heal by granu-
/ Iation. The dressing and packing
! should be renewed every day"
