Just as readily as the F.skimn accepts fur f<r wear ing apparel, the youth in the South accepts the firing of firecrackers as a part of the Christmas observance program This practice can be better understood by observ ing the activities cm July ? The national holiday marking the anniversary of the seguing of the Iteciar ation of Independence in l'h .adriph.a in 1770 >s no' generally observed in the strictly rural sectmos thru out the Southland. On that day the iarm youth is chopping cotton or busy at other la-ks in the fields.

Many 01 those jn the courtroom who heard a death sentence pronounced for the first time in their lives left the halt of justice uncrrta.n as the value of the end attained by the state in seeking revenge by snuffing out the lite of human beings Once the brutal crime is remembered -the Hollidav murder in this case?nothing short of the convicted man's life will pay his debt to an uncertain society, it is ruled. This life and death businrss is one oi the big proh ****** Twing'owieiy today 7W wrreit ti mutter of executions in the state so tar this year apparently has had little effect in the abatement of crime If the designed remedy fails, as apparently it has failed, then a remedy shou.'d be substituted in the tag of Watson, society remained indifferent too lung.
