ly homeless, simply because their
wages have regularly been gsmbled
away. 1t is stated that a working
man Of Dallas recently approached
Mr.. Clint and, with tears in his eyes,
thanked the attorney Of our sister city
for the successful crusade on gambling.
Gamblers are consumers, not pro.
ducers, and the proof is found in the
fact, familiar to every town in Texas,
viz That gamblers flock to where
business is lively, where there is rush
and activity, and avoid dead
towns as offering them no oppor-
tunlties. If gambling made business,
gamblers would not seek 30 strenuous
ly to intrench themselves in live,
bustling towns, but would also seek
dull places that, no doubt, would offer
bonus to any class who could mske
business for the people. Gamblers
know the disposition of men to take
chances, and they seek out those
localities where thriving business af-
fords the greatest means for a gratifi-
cation Of the propensity. Gamblers
do not make business; they consume
the business that is made by others.
The money spent by one successful
gambler Is more than counter balanced
by the unpaid bills, the unsupplied
necessaries and comforts, the depriva-
ton and the shiftlessness of the many.
The gliding and the glare that make
the gambling room scene of sttrac-
ton and splendor is FURNISHED with the
money that, else, might have made
humble, yet many comfortable homes.
Gambling is wrsng 1t is Injurious;
1t Is a violation oflaw. Let the law be
enforced.

county, has about 35 acres planted i'm
tobacco, and says that thus far il has
given him no more trouble than an
equal acreage of cotton. The time for
topping is, however, now at hand and
topping and picking off the worms is
perhaps the most troublesome part OF
its culture. 1t comes, however, in
August, when crops are laid by, and
labor ia plentiful. Colonel Moore says
that there is no crop IN the world
which will better dovctail with other
crops and thus afford constant employ
ment for farm laborcrs than tobacco.
1t is set out when the ground is too
wet to plough, or hee; 1t is worked
principally in the summer when there
is nothing else to be done, and it is
gathered and out of the way in time to
SOW the land in grains when they
should be sown. Tobacco is probably
not more profitable than cotton when
worked exclusively, but when worked
i'm connection with cotton and grain
the proceeds become almost net profits.
