manufactures supplies for 100,000,000
consumers are being turned out, while
there are only 60000,000 to take the

Twenty years ago the number OF
widows on the pension-roll was 1885,

a noticeable incident of the occasion

the Holy lnnocents, in Henderson. Evil
IDENTIFY there are no anti-tObaccO fanatics
among the ladies of the church society rep
resented by the donors of the basket of
flowers.
The above is from the L. S. TobaccO
J0urn0Es account of the Durham excursion
party to Henderson. We are glad to in
form our contemporary that it has said the
right thing when it mentions the fact that
there are no anti-tObaccO fanatics among
the ladies of Henderson, And it might
have gone further and said that the same. is
true of both Virginia and North Carolina
as States. Here is the home of the yellow
leaf, the purest that grows anywhere on
the globe. And as this is true of tobacco,
it is equally true of our women, that they
are the freest from prejudice and fanacti-
cism of all their sisters. With them the
tobacco leaf is as emblematic of useful
ness and purity as the sheaf OF corn or
wheat. To them the tobacco industry
means prosperity. 1t means luxurious
homes, money and all the comfort which
money and wealth can bring. In the di-
rectiOns of Providence it means as much
Tor the good of the race as other things
that are Landed in other sections. TO the
innocent maiden heart, the young leaf
dealer, or manufacturer of plug, or cigar
cites, OF smoking is always a hero OF the
highest type in her every day life
And in this respect how far away she is
from her New England Puritan Sister or
others of her sex in other sections These
would scorn to touch the hand of man
who had ever committed the sin of manu-
featuring or handling tobacco They look
upon him with as much dread as the man
who stands behind the bar and sells whis-
key from day to day. Our Southern sister
knows no such prejudIce-bless her heart
but blooms into womanhood that rises far
above that narrow hearted fanacticism
that sees evil and evil only in the innocent
