a Way to Observe Fourth oil
JulV

II il a common expectation In this
country that somebody will get seriously
hurt or maybe killed outright In Cd
servins the Fourth in the usual Amerl-
can way.
RtAes, shotguns, pistols, frecrackers
and toy-guns figure most prominently,
ana Il is exceedingly common to find
a how with a finger blown off or an eye
nut out as a result Of such promiscu
Gus handling of firearms and explosives.
Sometimes a cannon bursts and then
we can count in larger figures as TO
results.
never saw any good sense or mean
ing in such dangerous festivities. Ger
tainlv there can be no good in burning
powder simply to see powder burn.
Unless there was something to be gain
ed by continuous shooting, popping and
blazing away with explosives such GUS
tom is obliged to appear unmeaning and
silly to sane minds. The weather is usu-
ally hot enough to make cool breezes
and shady resting places desirable, so
II behooves me to put in a word for
the coming Fourth, which is about three
weeks away, with an eye single to the
good of the youth of our country.
1 think the Fourth of July should be
a season of public congratulation and
thankfulness. We have only to go back
to Independence Day in the good year
1776 to acquaint ourselves with the con-
ditions which have immortalized the
Fourth of July in the calendar of time.

who determined to make serfs and de-

had sought a new world TO escape his
tyranny in England. They had but little
money to begin the revolt, but they had
abundant courage to carry on the fight
The hardships of pioneer life had made
them strong in muscle as well as mo-
tives and they made up their minds to
resist King George. even unto death.
They knew that concert of action was

The White Slave Traffic

1 have heard of a young woman who
went to a large city to find work among
milIiners and dressmakers, as her east
est way to support her aged parents. She
does not work for such people because
she could find no situation-not even as
a servant-but the people at home do not
for a moment mistrust her, and they
do not understand what the monthly
check she sends has cost her. She was
decoyed and betrayed into the hands of
vile people and who dragged her into
life of shame.
Another woman wrote to friends in a
big city to meet her at q station, and
they failed to get her letter. Maybe it
was misdirected.- There was no one to
meet her and she asked a policeman 10
get her cab, after she made known TO
him her unhappy situation.
Like some other policemen that we
hear OF he cast an eye on her fresh
young form and provided a cab in which
she was dragged to her fate. For weeks
she was at the mercy of bawdy house
fiends, before her friends traced her and
rescued her from worse than death.
With dope drugs so plentiful this white
slave traffic is assuming alarming pro-
portions. A young woman who risks city
life, unprotected, and Is scarce or money,
is fair game for those who lie In wait
for just such victims.
II was Judge on the Dencn anu d.
lowed to sentence a beast, who would
thus decoy and destroy virtuous women
I'd make hanging the minimum sentence
slow torture at the stake would be none
too hard for him as righteous sentence
for the crime he had committed
In my opinion the age of consent
should be raised high enough to protect
girls in the state of Georgia. 1t 10 a
hideous fact that a child of ten years, in
the sovereign state of Georgia, was for
many many years constituted quite old
enough to safeguard her virtue from the
debauchee and hbertine.
It is also a hideous fact. that plea
was made to overlook some of these dis
NAL matters, because of the vile relations
that prevailed between white men and
young negro girls-and of the possibility
that public complaints might be entered
and exposure result, If too much prom
inence was given to such occurrences,
and penalties would be consequently dis
graceful.
There is going TO be a reform on such
lines and that before many years.
This white slave traffic is a cancerous
sore on the body polite.
Because our laws were so lax and the
enforcement of such as we had so dilato-
ry-the public resorted to lynching as .
stay process, and while the remedy was
a terrible one IL had the effect of OPEN
ing the eyes of our law makers TO the
enormity of the crime of rape.
Just so will il be with the white slave
traffic. Something will drop one of these
days, unless there is due attention given
to the matter.

OF all unlucky princes who have haI
to go without their kingdom Bonnie
Prince Charlie Stuart of Scotland was
one of the best loved. He was a
happy youth. fair to look upon and fond
of adventure, of which he had a great
deal
Scottish people were angry because
their parliament had been united with
that of England Now, when the
English and French were fighting, It
seemed a good time to gain their lib
erty. Accordingly this brave prince
set out to overthrow powerful King
George II.
He landed in Scotland with Few fol-
lowers, but soon won the Highland
chiefs for his friends. For while
he lived in his ancestral palace OF Holy
rood. But, as the English were al
vancing. he had to call his army to-
gether. Then came a great battle at
Culloden moor, when Prince c--arl1e
was defeated.
The English Offered a large reward
for his capture and he had great trou-
BILE in concealing himself. Poor as
many Highlanders were they loved
him and would not tell his hiding
places. Many times he had to sleep
out doors wrapped in his plaid. AT
one time even a band of robbers MD
him for several days.
At last the English soldiers almost
caught him, when a brave girl, Flora
Macdonald by name, aided him to es-
cape by dressing him in some of her
clothes. The soldiers thought Prince
Charlie was a girl friend visiting Flora
and went away. Then when able TO
get away safely Flora rowed him in a
boat to Skye.
A short time later a French boat
rescued him and he left Scotland be-
cause he could not gain the throne tor
the Stuarts.

demio in England n II was traced to an

found to be directly IN the path Of the
sewage from a large town. oysters. as
you are doubtless aware, are planted In
braclsish water and the flow of fresh water
from the river often contains a lot OF sew
age. The bed above referred TO had been
planted only a few years and as soon as
the oysters were old enough to sell were
distributed to different parts Of the coun-
try and the epidemic broke out coincident
and it disappeared as soon as the bed was
