THE FOURTH IN LEXINGTON
The Local Celebration Was Com
paratively Sane.

The Fourth of July has pass
ed and nobody in Lexington
was killed. There were, to be
sure, some narrow escapes and
several minor injuries; but the
Old-time excruciating carnage
was lacking.
Bright and early the kids
were out with their torpedoes,
firecrackers, nigger-chasers and
revolvers. AT ten clock the
Automobile Club pulled off the
much looked-for joy ride for the
benefit of the youngsters of
the town. The machines were
profusely decorated with flags
and bunting, and made a glad
noise with their whistles and
horns. At the court house,
which was the place of starting,
Paterson's band played for the
amusement of the youngsters who
were waiting for their turns,
This stunt of the benzine bug
gy brigade was the big event OF
the day and called for much com.
mendation from those of us who
are pedestrians except wher
picked up by some kind friend.
Those who mselfishly lem
their cars to the children were

looked for pleasure and rec

people began to gather down tow
to learn the news Of the big figh
at Reno. The crowd grew unit
shortly after six when it beeam
known that the "white man
hope" was a forlorn one. The

their homes.
At night there was goo
deal of noise and illumination
The fireworks were all set off b
private parties and there wa
no concerted attempt at a bi
display.
The colored population, elate
over the success of the idol {
