manner
The Journal Of the American Medical
association is another publication that
has made investigation along this line.
It finds that during the celebration Of
five national birthdays, from 1903 to
1907, inclusive, 1853 persons were
killed and % 500 were injured. Of the
injured so suffered total and 3S9 par.
tial blindness, $50 persons lost arms,
legs or hands. and 1870 lost one Or
more fingers.
Impressive enough, to be sure are
such statistics, though they are by no
means complete. They cannot be based
on other than newspaper reports of ac-
cidents, and it Is unreasonable to sup.
pose that the newspapers report more
than large percentage, anyway, Of
these casualties. Not infrequently do
parents conceal mishaps from tthe
newspapers, especially in the large
cities, while in the country many ac.
cidents naturally escape all newsps-
per mention.
Reasoning and exhortation have
been SO long tried as a means Of
bringing about a safe and sane obser-
walton Of the Fourth that in view OF
these statistics which fail to show any
dimunition in the casualty records, il
is feared the country win never make
substantial progress until strictly re-
pressive laws reinforced by local ordi-
nances are adopted.

The Railroad Situation.

The Jackson correspondent Of the
New Orleans Times-Democrat, re-
ferring to railroad construction in
Mississippi, says,
The first movement Of import
ance recently reported was the ac-
tual beginning Of construction work
on the Aberdeen q TOmbigbee Val
ley line, practically the extension
of the A aberdeen branch of the Kan
sas City, Memphis & Birmingham
road from Aberdeen to Colum bus,
and thence down the valley Of the
Tom bigbee river into Alabama with
the ultimate extension to a gulf
coast terminal. Work was recent
ly begun on this project from Col
umbus southwark by an outfit num-
bering some hundred scraper teams
with labor and machinery for rap
idly completing the grading on this
part of the line. That the Frisco
is backing this shceme there is
now no doubt.
The Aberdeen & Tombigbee Val
ley Railway is not in any sense a
branch of the Kansas City, Mem
phis & Birmingham road from Alb
erdeen to Columbus, but is being
constructed on its own charter, by
capital secured independently of any
other railroad company, by its own
President and directors. The line
from Okolona, Mississippi, via Alb
erdeen and Columbus, Is under con-
tract to be completed to Pickens-
vile, Ala. by January /, 1909, and
construction work is in active pro-
gress at convenient intervals be
tween Okolona and Columbus.
President II. f. Reynolds is now
in New York perfecting financial ne
gotiations for the extension of the
line from Pickensville to Pensacola,
and before the IS miles now under
contract is completed, all arrange
ments for the extension will have
been effected SO that the work can
be continued without intermission.
The Frisco nor any other railroad
is behind this project. There is no
need for such backing

of their jaunts is obvious. They

12-section drawing room sleeper;

The Road Bond Issue.

As will be observed by reference
to the proceedings of the Board of
Supervisors in this issue, that court
has been formally:petitioned to issue
$500, 900 of bonds for the purpose
of building and repairing the pub
lie roads and bridges of the county.
The Board very properly contin-
ued consideration of the petition
until the July term. in order that
the people should have time and
opportunity to thoroughly investi-
gate the subject and give intelligent
views upon the proposition There
are many who favor such a move
ment and still many others who OPP
pose it. and the proper action can
not be arrived at without general
discussion.

The Republican, Convention.

The National Republican Commit
tee has been in session at Chicago
since last Friday, and has had the
most strenuous experience of any
committee in the history of that
party. The committee early in the
action disclosed a strong tendency to
effect the nomination Of Secretary
Taft, which was at once bitterly OPP
posed and fought at each step by
the allies or all of the other in
terests com bined,
The contests were principally
from the Southern States, all of
which were decided in favor of Taft
delegates, except in the case Of
Louisiana. in which both delegates
were seated with half vote each.
This was not acceptable to the Lii
~ white element and Ex-Governor
Yarmouth declared he would carry
the matter to the credentials COM
mittee of the convention. The four
delegates from Mississippi at large
and five congressional districts were
contested, but the Taft delegates
We're seated.
The Republicans have an invari-
able rule Of harmonizing and heal
ing political sores for the good Of
the party, but they will be SO bad
~ spit-up before the convention is
over that it seems impossible for
them ever to get together again.

Just beyond Matubba creek from

progress. This is the Okolona di-
vision, which is the lightest work
on the line and will be completed in
advance of the balance Of the road.
Messrs. Robinson, Lionbarger &

Not the least serious matter is the
