EVIL Results of Smoking.


My debut as smoker was like
everybody's. My first pipe made
me very i'll, and it was only by de-
grees that managed to become a
thirdrate smoker-that is, disposed
of eight or ten pipes a day without
Inconvenience. But whenever 1 ex-
ceeded that average l suffered from
violent sick-headaches, ushered in
by indistinctness of vision, and
numbness on one side of the face, the
tongue and one arm, most often on
the left side. These preliminary
symptoms lasted about ten minutes,
after which the headache came on in
full force. The most refractory
organ, however, was my stomach.
After having smoked too much l
used to experience the symptom
known as pyrosis, or heartburn, to
a very trying extent, though as any
alkaline water speedily caused the
phenomena to vanish / did not care
to give up my tobacco.
About a year ago, having smoked
for some months more than usual, l
suddenly found myself affected by a
peculiar and terrific pain over the re-
gion of the heart in short, had a
violent attack of angina pectOris. 1t
put stop to my smoking, as, though
[ have since tried once or twice, L
have always found my cigar or pipe
detestable, and, to sum up, am rad
ically converted. [ do not wish to
discuss scientifically the NICOTINE
origin of my sufferings, but am sure
that they all sprang from the same
cause-excessive use of tobacco.
Degeneration of the cadillac muscle is
often caused by tobacco. So long
as the rest of his organism remains
IN good WORKING order the smoker
only experiences intermittent palpl-
tation, and the grave injury done
the heart remains unperceived until
SOME trifling cause brings into re-
lief the irremidiable disorders pro-
duced by the prolonged use of to-
baccO

THE. committee on ways and
means has introduced bill in the
house authorizing the issuance of
$2O0,O00,0O0 two per cent bonds,
with which to take up the three and
half per cent, bonds. 1t is said
these two per cent bonds may be
placed at par, and yet two years ago
the Republican papers and leaders
held that it was folly to talk about
selling bonds bearing less
than three and half per
cent interest. The New York
bankers came to Washington, and in
league with Secretary Sherman,
they forced Hayes even to veto the
bill proposing to refund at three
per cent. The bull that was passed
was a Democratic measure, and had
1t not been for u tainted secretary
and an imbecile president, the cOun-
try would in this time have made
millions of dollars by the measure
proposed.

Voters and Voting In the several
States.

The males of voting age in the
United states in 1880, according to
recent official bulletin, numbered
1851, 437. The presidential vote OF
that year, however, amounted to
only 800, 42s. The disposition to
vote is. not equally strong in all
parts OF the country. Indeed, the
vote IN proportion to the voters
varied very widely. This is not
strange in view of the fact that in
many states the contest is not suffi.
GENTLY close to call forth the interest
and excite the effort always awak-
ened in doubtful localities. But the
figures show that apart from this
explanation there is a great des-
parity in the voting propensity. The
following figures, showing the
voting population and the actual
vote polled in 1880, illustrates the
subject more fully:

1t will be observed that the
highest percentage of voting was
done in Indiana, where the astonish-
ing number of "a per cent OF all
the votes in the state were polled.
That was the place the genius of
Star-Route Dorsey was brought to
bear. That is the ground on which
Kilpatrick had said the bloody shirt,
with money, would be effective.
Comparing the vote of that state
with the average and with the vote
in any other state aud il seems in
the highest degree improbable that
Indiana properly polled any such
number of ballots. The ratio "a
that state exceeded by 10 per cent
that of any other state. The lowest
percentage of voting is shown in
Rhode Island, only 3S per cent
of whose voters went to the polls.
The average in the New England
states is so low as to excite surprise
that in q section which claims so
much intelligence and political ca
pacity so large a number do not
even care to take part in the selec-
ton of the president and other Off
GERS, Texas did not come up to the

The CENSUS shows that between
1870 and 1880 the number of farms
in the United States increased from
2,669,eS5 to 4,00S, 1907. or at the rate
of fifty per cent. Of course, much
OF this increase was because of set
Element In the west, but while in the
non-slaveholding states the increase
did not exceed twenty-five per cent,
in the old slaveholding states
the increase reached one hun
bred per cent. This fact indi-
Gates q moro wholesome condition
in the south. Smaller farms and di-
versity of crops are what we mostly
need to add to the prosperity of the
south. But another general feature
of the country is not, under adverse
crop conditions, very encouraging.
There are in the United States
S,955,8l2 dwellings. Comparing this
number with the number OF farms it
shows conclusively where the ma
jority of the people live and what
their occupation is. 1t is not
strange, therefore, that when the
crops fail, in whole or in part, the
effect is felt in all business and is
discernible in the prices of all COM
modities. AS the classes which live
on their accommodations, and who,
from any cause, have ceased produc-
tion, do not remain on the farms the
whole rural population may be set
down as producers, and therefore
constitute much the largest part of
the productive force of the country.
The st. Louis Republican wisely
says that whatever concerns or con-
tributes to the well-being and pro-
ductiye energies of the farmers of
the United States demands the very
highest consideration.

The true secret OF happiness is perfect
health, which enables the individual to
enjoy life, and attain competency and
contentment. The martyr to dyspepsia,
in continual misery, is without hope in
the pursuit of business or pleasure, and
realizes that existence yields only failure.
But a new era has come, and good health
is assured, with positive relief from the
ills of indigestion and torpid liver, by the
use of DR.. Acker's Dyspepsia Tablets.
They are very nice-try them. Only %

THE cotton seed crushers held a
convention in New York few days
ago. Thirty-six oil mills were rep
resented, all of which, excepting one,
are la the southern states. Investi-
CATION of the facts elected show how
important this industry becomes in
the development of the south.
Not long ago cotton seed
returned no profit to the
producer, except what was OBJ
tanned in a limited degree through
consumption by live stock. In 1877
the mills then established turned out
$4,000 barrels of oil in 1873, $4,000
barrels; in 1879, "a, 900 barrels, and
In 1880, $4,000 barrels. For a time
large quantities of the oil were ex-
ported to Italy and Spain, to be re-
exported from those countries under
fhe brand of olive oil; but the
Italian and Spanish governments
imposed on il heavy duty which
discourages its importation, yet
the home demand is rapidly
increasing and the mills have
no difficulty in disposing of all
they produce at paying prices. The
cake and cake meal, which are the
residuum of the pressed seed, form
an excellent feed for animals, espe-
cially mich cows, and the meal is
also a valuable fertilizer. Hereto
fore the bulk of the cake and meal
has been sent to Europe-chiefly
England and Germany-where they
are held IN high estimation as cattle
feed; but they are growing in favor
ia the eastern states. and the time is
not far distant when ali the products
of the southern oil mills will find a
ready market at home.
