NORTH C1KOLTSX's OBJECT TAX.
Some Delay in Receiving the Balance of 1t.
james Smith Drowned.

Another slight delay has been caused
in the payment Of tho direct taxes
by Governor Holt. which however
il is hoped will be arranged in a short while.
The original amount due North Carolina is
over four hundred thousand dollars. The
State has not yet received the full
there being still twenty-six thousand
dollars behind. This deficit arose from an
error discovered in the copying lists at Wash
ington. It was conceded by the auditor in
charge. and il is hOpeu that in short time
the amount will be forwarded. Governor
Holt does not feel justified in adopting any
scale of claims, which he would necessarily
have to do if he commenced paying them be-
fore the full amount is received. Due notice
viii be given when the warrants will be issued.

The Devils KlndIlng Wood.

This is what Rev. G. Ii. Southgate
Of dorchester calls cigarettes, and
the term is none to strong. In one OF
his admirable sermons, entitled "A
Plain Talk With the Boys, occurs this
passage in regard to smoking:
Do you want to know where a boy
usually begin to be fast? With Il
cigarette. 1t is the lads first step in
bravado, resistance of sober morality
and bold step in disObedience. Just
now take the matter on the scientific
side. Tobacco blights a boys finest
powers, wit. muscle. conscience, will.
Nations are legislating against 1t.
Germany, with all her smoke, says:
mo tobacco in the schools" 1t
spoiIs their brains and makes them
too small for soldiers. Knock at the
door Of the great military institu-
tions of France; mo tobacco" is the
response. Try West Point and AM
napolis; Drop that cigarette" is
the word. Indeed, smoking bows are
not likely to get 50 far as that. Major
Houston of the marine corps, who is
in charge OF the Washington navy
ward barracks, says that one-fifth of
all the boys examined are rejected
for heart disease, of which ninety
nine cases in one hundred come from
cigarettes. His first question is: do
YOU smOke!" mo, sir" is the in
variable reply. But the record is
stamped on the very body of the lad,
and out he goes, Apply for posi-
ton in bank. If you use tobacco,
beer, cards, the bank has no use for
you.
Business life demands fine brain,
steady nerve, firm conscience. Watch
the boys. See one sixteen years in
age, twelve in size, twenty in sin.
and he smokes, probably chews and
drinks. Babes of seven and eight
wears are at it. The vice increases.
1 could pile up statistics by the hour,
testimony from the highest medical
authority, of the misery preparing
and already come. The use OF
cigarettes increases enormously, but
only increases the use of stronger
tobacco. In August, 1889, 1000, 200
more cigars were made in this coun'
try thon in the year before, and the
| firm that made this statement credits
the increase to the cigarette, and the
fault to careless parents.
Tobacco is numbering many lad
Where they do not fairly kill, cigar
cites are the DEVILS kindling wood
They start craving for stimulants
that liquor is quickest to meet. And
why is it that "fancy" pictures &c
with them as prizes, unless licentiOus
ness comes next! But can't mar
smoke and be good, be a Christian!
| suppose so. But by the time
tobacco has killed few more gen
erals like Grant, and few more
emperors like Frederick the Noble
and a few more business men ant
bright boys, a smart boy may get i
through his head that it doesn't pay
And not till the smart boys quit will
the poor and dull let it alone, TIL

Will not submit to its slavery nor b
