The War on Cigarettes.

The House of Representatives
In Michigan recently passed a bill
prohibiting the manufacture, sale,
keeping for sale, or giving away
OF any cigarettes, or any inlita-
tion thereof, composed wholly or
in part OF tobacco, any paper de-
signed for cigarette wrappers.
Recently the New York Press
had a fourcoIumn articleon 1.-The
Perils OF Cigarette Smoking, "
which, however, stated all sides
Of the case fairly.
We have no desire to defend any
habit that can be shown TO bein,
furious. But just why the poor
little cigarette is pitched upon,
while the famous 7. ID. and the
well colored meerschaum is ex'
empt, - never stated by its mer'
CHESS accusers. IL Is probably
due to the fact that women who
are tempted to initiate the vices
OF men, use tobacco in these
homeopathic doses.
The tobacco habit is one oI
those forms Of satisfying thenar'
cotic craving which has been dis.
cusssd ever since Sir Walter Ra.
eigh lighted the first fatal pipe
Even its discussion seems endless
and futile.
But, whatever I've thcright view
II seems hard TO pitch upon thu

root and the stalwart pipe ar,
strong enough to take care o
themselves. The tender cigarette

Last week while we were somewhat at

EDrToRs bulletin hope a few lines
from this section of the Old North State
viii be admissible and while I am not
acquainted with you, your paper IS an
old and valued friend.
These North Caroiinians are not like
they used to be. They don't eat nigh as
much cornbread now as they used to.
When they raised wheat to sell. lots of ii
too. they lived on corn bread, but now,
since they have to buy their flour the last
one of them eat wheat bread three times
day exclusive of lunch. They now
claim that corn is fit only for stock. And
as for keeping their doors shut in the
wfntertime, just dare you to find one
that will do it; and they are bound to
have an opening of some sort on both
sides OF the fire place, so they can see
what is going on outside and let in the
festive wind to frolic over the room.
They are great on celebrations of every
sort. Last week there was an alleged
celebration of the battle of Guilford
Courthouse. I was there at a similar
celebration last year.

ErONOMY.

EDITORS Bulletin here use
the term economy in the sense of
frugality IN the use of money, time
and labor, and apply it principally
to household affairs. Many people
fail to get rich because they do not
know how to make money, others
because they do not know how to
save it, Many tail to make money,
and remain poor all their lives be-
cause they do not know how to use
their time and labor to advantage
so as to get the largest possible rec
turn for them, others because though
they have a large income they do
not know how to spend money to
the best advantage 50 as to get the
most tor it., many people work from
year to year for ole halt OF what
they, perhaps, could make, if they
would turn their attention to the
pursuits for which they are best
fitted by their talents, skill and ac>
qulremements, while others are out
of employment two or three months
every year just because they can
not get what they think their ser
vices are worth, though they would
have no difficulty in finding con-
slant employment at lower wages.
Now as 10 economy IN the house
hold, | desire to say that it does
not consist in denying yourself Of all
the comforts or any of the necessa-
ries of life, but IN purchasing The
proper things at the proper prices,
IN providing those thIngs which
best promote strength, health and
comfort at the least expense. Some
housekeepers buy in small quaint
ties when they might just as we'll
buy in larger quantities which would
cost them prOpOrti0nlv less, while
others Duy on credit and pay more
than they would if they bought
for cash. Others again, buy arti-
cles of inferior quality because they
can get them at low prices, Will {
articles Of better quality and high,
er prices would be cheaper in the
) end. Money spent for mere fashion
: ornament, pomp, or IN the Wav q
vain and gIddy amusements is q
course not spent economically.

ONE Of the best ways in the world
to advertise the advantages of a
town is to talk up tor it. Bolivar
possesses the best health, the best
climate. best churches, best schools,
hest neiehbors for society, and the
best surroundings for home, to say
nothing Of the facilities for bust
ness and numerous other adYan~
tages. When you 60 away from
home tell those whom you meet
about these facts and perhaps they
may he induced to come here.
Bolivar and the surrounding coun.
try are in better condition than they
have been for years. The merch-
ants nre we'll pleased with the bus
mess they have done, the people
all have money and things are on a
solid foundation. Talk about your
town, write about it, all pull togeth>
er for il, help to improve it, beau
tify the streets, be courteous to
strangers, remem Der that every dol
lar YOU invest in permanent i'm
nrovements is that much money! or
interest, don't kick against any
proposed Improvement because it Is
not near your doOr-and above all
be sure to support your home paper
and see that it has healthy, well
fed appearance in the way of ad
vertIsements, for there lis no other
one thing by which place is judg-
ed as much as by thei local paper.
