The general committee of the Safe and Sane Fourth of July Celebration appeals earnestly to the general public to assist them in raising the funds necessary for the celebration planned for July 4th at Druid Hill Park. A considerable sum is needed to properly present the proposed program, and this money must be raised among our own people. The whites have already raised large sums for their celebrations. Let us work as well for ours. If every one will give a little to the committee can realize the sum needed
Last year a number of public-spirit-co citizens subscribed to the fund and we respectfully ask a continuance of their support. Some member of the committee may call on you. Please respond liberally. Contributions may be made through the general committee or sent directly to any member of the executive committee of which Mr. Harry T. Pratt is chairman ."
