SOUND WARNING OF
ACCIDENTS ON 4TH
Many Serious, Some Fatal
Injuries from Independ-
ence Celebrations

(From N. G. State Board Of Healthy
A sad feature of every Fourth of
July celebration is the accidents. In
the North, where fireworks are used
extensively for celebrating the birth
day IF Americas Independence, the
accidents most frequently met are
burns and wounds, some of them
fatal, caused by the explosion of fire
crackers and other forms of prote-
Clinics t.
In the South, accidents from this
source are mirror compared with those
occurring, in connection with automo-
biles and possibly by drowning. But
with the increasing use of fireworks
at State and county fairs in the fall
and during the Christmas season,
rather than on July L. word of
warning against the careless and pro-
niicuous use of fireworks is perhaps
timely and appropriate. The number
OF accidents reported last Fourth of
July for the Southern States due to
the explosion of firecrackers, blank
cartridges and the like were Virginia
II, North Carolina 3, Georgia &c, Ala
bama 1. Florida 9. Mississippi 1, and
South Carolina and Tennessee none.
Last year, according to a study
made by the National Society for the
Prevention of Blindness, 7,73S persons
in this country were injured, and 80
killed from the explosion of fireworks
This study was based on accidents to
persons reported by the newspapers
as happening on July Fourth. A ques-
tionnoire survey of 5000 of these cases
in hi nh 4 70
first-hand information, revealed that
"a suffered such serious eye injuries
that one eye had to be removed, and
in IL others the total loss of sight of
one or both eyes was reported. In all
PA cases of eye injuries were reported
and 104 listed as serious. Hence the
interest of the Society for the Proven
ton Of Blindness in curbing this
cause of blindness. Tn its opinion
there should be ample state and fed
eral legislation for controlling the
manufacture and sale Of pyrotechnics
Blingness and teanus, or lockjaw
are two of the most serious effects
produced by the injuries received
from the explosion of fireworks. |
Blindness too often results from burn
ing of the face and eyes from the ex-
plosion of firecrackers usually held in :
the hands, or from STOPPING to pick up
what is thought to be "duds." Petanus
results from wounds or decorations in
which the teanus germ has been
ground into the mutilated flesh, and
where it has secured itself away from
air or oxygen. Tetanus germs are
found in dirt, rich soil, and in the
dust of the streets Once they eStab-
lish themselves in the body. they pro-
duce a powerful poison which causes
the disease known as lockjaw For
tunately, however, the disease can be
prevented by administering tetanus
antitoxin following the receiving of
injuries. Hence every accident where

| with trepidation upon a newborn
| party, one whose name even is barely
| known. Yet here is the Democratic
! party viewing with some fear the ar
! rival of this new babe. The babe is a
| giant-that is the trouble. Anything
| that has emotional appeal grows
| swiftly.
The Democratic platform-acclaim-
ed even by Republicans as a master
piece of stating considerable without
committing to too much-will not he
the magnet of appeal for the Demo
Gratis. Every one knows the appeal
will be based on President Roosevelt
himself. And the Democratic strategy
evidently will be to have one emo
tional appeal pitted against another
President Roosevelt against that of
the new party coalition.
And in that strange manner will the
campaign against Gov. Alfred M. Ian
don, the Republican nominee, be
fought.
At least, so it seems at the moment.
A STRONG DOCUMENT
The Democratic platform probably
is the strongest campaign document
since the Civil War. 1t has none of
the backing and filling of the Repub-
lican platform. It has tremendous
strength in it's simple statement of
facts.
Yet, as previously written here, it
is a disappointment among several
powerful groups. It sticks to the mid
die of the New Deal road. That may
seem far to the left to Republicans
&c Io,,+ -
many northwestern farmers and mid
die west and eastern workers it does
not seem enough.
Organized labor is greatly pleased
with the platform-but the largest
number of workers still are outside
the organized groups and are suscep-
tiDle to emotional appeal.
The President probably assumes he
cannot go faster than he believes the
majority of citizens desire. And he
evidently is of the opinion that he
must fight to the last ditch all fur
ther inflationary proposals.
He is willing to risk the loss of the
disaffected groups, believing perhaps
that his frank statements of policy,
as evidenced by the platform and his
Franklin Field speech, will convince
the disaffected that he is doing the
best he can.
NO STRONGHOLDS
1t is beginning to appear, too, that
no place is a stronghold for either
party, any more.
Pennsylvania definitely has become
debatable ground. Even Philadelphia,
strongest Republican metropolis in
the nation, is debatable territory.

announced by the State Utilities Com
mission is that the railroads operat-
ing within the state may no longer
charge the emergency rates but must
go back to the regular rates, effective
today, insofar as business within the
State is concerned. They will be per-
mitted to continue the emergency
rates on Interstate business until De-
cember 81, as a result of the order is
sued by the Interstate Commerce
Commission on June 9, 1886. The ex-
tension of the emergency rates by the
ICC was bitterly opposed by the
North Carolina Utilities Commission
and all other state rate regulatory
commissions on the grounds that the
higher rates were not justified.

and a fifth?-that would be ridicu-
1OuS.
Without implying a suspicion that
the New Dealers are glad Huey was
assassinated, the fact remains that
they are lucky that he was.
AN ANSWER?
The New Deal administration is re-
markedly successful at getting away
with a policy of "pooh-pooh!"
President Roosevelt long ago de-
clared it to be an improperly for a
party chairman to hold, also, a fed
eral office. In fact, he required Dem
ocratic state chairmanships to be re-
signed upon their incumbents' ap-
pointment to federal positions-to quit
one job or the other. Several of them
had to do it.
Yet Postmaster General James A.
Farley has continued as national
Democratic chairman.
The anomaly has been much talked
about.
"Pooh-pooh!" has been the admin
istration's answer.
1t seems to have been satisfactory.

Urgency charges until December 81,
1886, on intra-tate freight business, as
the Interstate Commerce Commission
has agreed to do on interstate bust
ness.
These emergency charges have been
in effect on certain commodities, es-
peciaJly coal, sand, gravel, crushed
stone and other heavy goods, since
1894 and were permitted by the In
terstate Commerce Commission as a
sort of "shot in the arm" to help the
railroads get back on their feet. The
charges averaged about 10 per cent
more than the regular rates On less
than carload lots and about seven per

The bus was approaching the span
of rock which carries the highway

The bus left Roanoke at 1920

cent more than the regular rates for
carload lots. The order issued by Com
missioner Stanley Winborne of the
State Utilities Commission, quotes
from ICC reports showing that the
higher rates have not materially help
ed the railroads financially and that
four large coal carrying roads have
reaped most of the profits from the
increased rates.
