 The band concert which was to have been given in the evening on North Main street was postponed to Friday ev- eniny according to an Announcement made Tuesday night by 0. ". Carpenter, general chairman in charge of the Greenevflle celebration It was raining hard at the time the bahd concert was to have been given Tuesday night.
 Many an argument for safe and sane Fourth was seen on locai streets Tuesday evening. and not few of the insane ideas were concocted by little boys whose ages ranged ffon 21 to 50 years.
 Near the corner of Broadway and Main streets group Of young men were enjoying themselves by throwing live Inch frecrackers beneath an automobile which was standing at the cnrSiEg. giv- ing the reason for the action as follows: the irecracker made more noise. Of course there was nothing else fo- them to worry about, but the person who avn ed the car was lucky that his car was intact when he drove off as slight leak near the gas tank would have spelled
 'F'ire''-and plenty of it in an instant. Another trick which was noticed t5ok place on Main street near the pos.ofiice when kids laid sky rockets in the street and started them on thei. tourney, no one knew where. One man passing In an auto saw one headed for his ma chine. It went under ths front and struck the rear wheel, houncei up un- derneath the car and expinded. This | m n e lY1rlr TtF e-1 f1S r
 present to send his car up in Smoke. A few of the other tricks reported were the throwing of big crackers ur 1 against buildings, especially trying tc 1 throw them into an open window, and the shooting of slzyrockets, low at that where there was constant danger of Ere
 or injury to s passerby.
 1 That the spirit of the Fourth does no, | rest with the young alone was demon. 1 strated Tuesday as most of the noise. making was by older men and bSys. Or l Franklin square the Connecticut, Com pany trolleys were rocked to and Sro q, big caps were exploded beneath thu | wheels.
 1 Numerous injuries were reported dNr l ing the day but mostly of a minor chaS
 acter. Herbert W. Lucas of the Centra ] building just missed losing two flngeri of his left hand when he needed shout ! ed warning to drop big fire crackei that was about to explode. He sustain | ed powder burns in the hand. l A boz named Sheridan sh0s himself ii ILttfie leg while giving an imitation of Ton Mix, the movie star.
