The Glorious
 Fourth

A CCORDING to the ideas that ex
 sA isted when was a boy. the
 celebration of the Fourth of
 July without an inordinate mount of noise would not have been eemed proper observance of the !ay Of course as a byproduct of that nnuai display of patriotism a certain lumber of persons invariably lost their yes through their own carelessness or nat or somebody else. and a still lar eF number ef individuals sacrificed arluus portions Of their anatomy in leii efforts to show proper respect to he nation and the nations heroes pon this great national holiday
 Personally l am glad to see that the ny of the noisy and dangerous Fourth rapidly drawing to close, It Is rue that we still have fireworks and il sorts of explosive toys with which hildreu may blow out their lives or pellre an attack of lockjaw with the nallest possible difficulty. and yet at he same time the signs of the times ndicate very clearly that it will not ,p many years before all American municipalities will follow the example f Springfield. Mass~ and Detroit, Mich. by giving their children diff erent means of observing lndepend- nee day.
 In the smaller towns and cities this hange in the public sentiment is far more noticeable than in some of the aryer places. but when the tide has turned as conspicuously as it has to- lay there can be little doubt us to the nature of the final results.
 Fifteen or twenty years ago 1t would not have been possible for any body of city fathers to have undertaken to have suppressed the noise of the chil dren on the Fourth of July, The chil' dren would have been up In arms in no time. and even the parents would have declined to stand for such an in novatien. Gradually. however, the work of the daily newspapers in ex plotting the horrible chapters of aeci. dents has had it's effect. People be gan to see to what an extent the an nual sacrifice of life and limb had grown. and they commenced to be i'm pressed by the fact that 1t was sac rifce that was absolutely unnecessary The explosion of so many tons of pow der made great noise. but 1t did not rebound one iota to the honor of the brave men to whose patriotism we owe our national existence.
 The fact that we are actually begin ming to realize this truth after all these years indicates that-as l have said-the day of the noisy Fourth will soon be over. and l am certain that. with the possible exception of the fire. works manufacturers, nobody will be sorry. We shall still continue to ceie- brate the Fourth-there is no doubt as to that-and we will celebrate it more en1oyably if we make 1t, as several cities are doing this year. an occasion of innocent amusements rather than Q day of incalculable dangers

awoke. Grabbing the f1recracker from his sons hand, he arose and, holding 1t aloft. said:
 "Boys, there win be no explosion to- night I'm sorry to dlsappoint you was afeered that Mickey might do some harrum wid that big cracker. so whin he wasn't lookin' this afternoon took the powder out of 1t and filled 1t wid clay So you see that the show Is over, and ye may as well go home and go to bed. There'll be no more explosions cnly what I'll give Mickey wid q shingle afore l turn in. Good night to ye all. Come around some other night whin there is somethin doln'."- Washington Post

Governor ONeal has been written to this effect and it is probable that a number of citizens of Union Springs who are familiar with the facts will call upon the governor either today or tomorrow.
 Montgomery, April 4.-Sheriff P. w. Jinright of Bullock county has issued d statement in reply to the intimation of Governor ONeal that there existed collu- sion between the sheriff and mob in the lynching of Aberdeen Johnson, the ne- gro, near Union Springs early Sunday afternoon.
