sand people gathered on the beach to celebrate the Fourth of July, wit messed a thrilling spectacle not on the program when Jesse Wyman, aged ten, was caught in the rope of an as cending balloon and carried head downward 500 feet into the air, then a quarter of a mile over the ocean. Scores of women tainted.
 Morgil Moore, the aeronaut, imme- diately observed the lad and shouted to him, Hang on for life!" The boy managed to gain an upright position by grasping the rope above, while the aeronaut began to draw the lad up to him on the trapeZe bar, where he had him close by his side.
 Meantime the balloon drifted over the water 500 yards, where the extra weight of the boy and a gust of wind caused it to turn over on the side, allowing the gas to escape, and it slowly descended to the water
 Moore kept himself and the boy afloat until a launch from the train ing ship Alert dashed up and rescued both.

a Record Breaker,

It is said that the greatest and quick est permanent advertising success on record is that of Cascarets, Candy Ca thartics, which have been perisitentiy advertised in every way, but chiefly in the newspapers for about ten years. In that time the sale of Cascarets has grown from nothing to over one mil lion boxes q month. This wonderful record is the result of great merit sue cessfully made known. Those who tried Cascarets as a direct result of advertising, were pleased and recom- mended the article to their friends, un- til its fame was spread to become uni versal

A DAY OF DISORDER.

For some ten years the campaign for a saner Fourth has been appar- ently growing Yet in the meantime each year has produced fireworks of a deadlier and noiser variety and the Fourth of July death list has grown in length out of all proportion to the countrys increasing population. The list this year, beginning to be made up as early as last Friday, is appall- ing. and we dread the contemplation of it when all the returns are in.
 We are naturally inclined to pessi- mism on the subject of a saner Fourth just as we are regarding that time when swords shall be converted into pruning hooks. The Fourth of July might as well be. abolished but it never will be. It has ceased to be a period of revival of the patriotic spirit. It has become a day of slaugh- ter. a day of double-header baseball games, a day of prize fights, generally day of disorderly license.
 We would not object to the day with all its dangers and disorders if it contributed to red-b blooded American ism, to either the physical or mental well being of the youth of the country.

believe, that will either exonerate the Principal owner or damn him for ever and publicly as a traitor.
 The attitude of The Republican in this connection, we trust, has not been misunderstood. Whatever has been its course in this matter which it neg it had been given publicity, it has not been proceeding as against a private individual who it felt was guilty of a private offense against an indi- viduaL The offense charged is of a semi-public character and the alleged offender is a semi-public character.

A Happy Woman

Is she not the very sparkle and
sunshine of life? Awoman who is
happy because she can't help it,
whose smiles even the coolest sprink-
lie of misfortune cannot dampen.
Men make a terrible mistake when
they marry for beauty, for talents,
or for style. The sweetest wives are
those who possess the magic secret
of being contented under any cir
cumstances. Rich or poor, high or
low, makes no difference: the bright
little fountain of Joy bubbles up just
as musically in their hearts. Do
they live in a log cabin, the fire
that leaps upon its humble hearth
becomes. brighter than the >gilded
chandeliers in an Aladdin palace.
Where is the stream Of life so dark
and unpropitious that the sunshine
of h; " face falling on the tur-
bid tide will waken an answering
gleam? Why, these joyful, good
tempered people don't know hal.
the good they do Dallas New Eraf

Larger, Auditorium Needed.

Edgefe,d may appear to be at a
standstilI but there has been growth
and enlargement somewhere. Sew
eral years ago there was never an
assemblage or audience SO large
that comfortable seats could not be
provided, either in the opera house,
churches, or college auditorium,
while now there is no. hall, church
or auditorium sufficiently large.
The Baptist church. with the extra
chairs that have been provided for
special. occasions, can probably seat
more people than any other place
in town, and yet the congregation
that assembled Sunday morning to
hear DR.. Gwaltney filled this build
ing to- overfowing. After every
nook and corner was filled, possibly
fifty men could not be seated. There
must be an enlargement of the
churches to meet the increased de-
mand.

Tribute to Worthy colored Man
hy His Young "Mistiss."

Mr.. Editor: On the goth of April,
1909, there occurred the death of so
remarkable a negro man, that feel
he, deserves some notice. 1t was
Milledge Williams. He was an old
slave of my grandfather Bland. He
married first a girl who belonged to
Squire Dan Holland and moved
to this place (which was owned by
Holland in January 1865 and lived
here until his death. His first wife
and her two children died, and he
married second time, another good
woman. I have known Milledge all
of my life of 81 years and have lived
for 80 years on this place with him.
In all that time l have never heard
any one say the very slightest thing
against him. He never had diff
Guilty or difference with any one
that we have ever heard of. He was
always for the right in everything.
We trusted him so we'll, that jim
mie in all the 43 years that he lived
with him never had a written con-
tract with him. And he never failed
to fulfill any agreement that he
made. He was a Christian gentle
man, that we all could take a lesson
from. He was a devoted husband
and father and provided well for
his family and has accumulated a
good deal. He and his wife both are
examples that if the other negroes
would copy, there would be no need
of jails and chaingangs. Everybody
respects them both. Whenever we
could do anything for Mllledge we
were glad to do it, and he and bis
family feel the same toward us.
Even when Milledge was boy and
a slave he was never whipped.
To show how early in life he
commanded the respect of his white
friends, I will tell one instance /
know of. In 1865, when everything
was at the point where no one knew
what to do Squire Holland rented
the plantation to some of his own
old slaves and lent them corn and
provisions that were to be returned
in the fall with the rent, THAT year
Milledge moved here and worked
with them). Instead of Squire Hol-
land getting his rent and produce
returned, the slaves (then free men)
stole everything they made and sold
it and he got nothing. The next year
Squire Holland rented the place to
Mr.. w. W. Adams, but with the
express understanding, that he
would not allow single negro who
lived OIL it the year before TO remain
on it, except Milledge, and asked
Mr.. Adams to keep him, because he
knew he was honest and had moth
ing to do with the stealing. This is
to me a large subject, Mr.. Editor,
and for fear of the waste basket, |
will sign myself-His young mis-
tress, whom he loved,
Miss Leila.
