says she saw Wilson start towards the
school house, and Culp intercepted him,
threw his left arm around Wilson, and
the two shots followed, she says that
after Wilson was shot he ran or walked
toward the school house, and was as
sisted by some little boys to a neigh
boring house. After that Culp came up
to the school house. and said, 'thev
can't hurt me; l shot him in self de-
fense."
There was an attempt on the part of
the defense to hail that there was a
the Red Oak school; that liquor was
brought into the class rooms; that the
boys generally carried revolvers, etc,
but this attempt utterly failed, and the
conditions at that school were shown to
be as good as any other rural school,
with the exception that on some form
er occasion it was shown that two or
three of the boys, at different times,
had been seen with revolver, IN the
vicinity of the school house but not on
the grounds.
Payne Culp was the only boy that
was shown TO ever had revolver on
the school house grounds, and so far as
the evidence disclosed, he was never
seen with one until the day before the
shooting, but this fact was wholly IN
known to the teacher in charge.
The fact of the matter is that the
community in which this tragedy oc-
Cured has always been looked upon as
law abiding community, and has
figured very little in the criminal courts

There was an attack made upon Mr..
Hanft, the teacher, which was not
wanted by the evidence. His reputa-

NOW FOR A SANE FOURTH

There never has been any argument
for an insane Fourth; no one has ever
had the courage to argue for big cas-
ualty list and a huge fire loss for mann
ings to limbs or for the destruction of
eyesight or for death from that most
frightful of Affections, tetanus'or lock-
jaw. Only greed and puerility and the
blind folly ofithe mature have kept the
noisy and deadly Fourth going But this
year the President has sounded more
solemn call to conservation that makes
the old Fourth more than usually impos-
slble; and now the Governor, recognize
ing that the situation calls for definite
action, is out IN proclamation for an
orderly Fourth that all should heed.
The careless and easy-going officials
and the easier-going parents who SEEM
ingly have always assumed that in the
case of fatalities, it was always to be
the other peoples children who were to
be sacrificed, must look the new sit
uation in the face for in view of all the
circumstances now confronting us there
is no need of any further exhortations.
The Governor has called for an end of
the madness of the ''old-fashioned"
Fourth and for proper observance of
the day: so let US have the sane Fourth
and be done forever with the follies and
frivolties and noise of the fatal cele-
brations of the past.-Philadelphia
Ledger.
