Gov. Fleming, a quiet, modest
and unassuming man, has with his
busy pen, done more perhaps to at
tract the attention of capital to the
undeveloped resources of this State
than any man in it. His excellent
articles in the Manufacturers Record
have advertised the State all over
the country and in Europe. In his
quiet, transformations way he has
been of as much, perhaps more,
service to the State than any man
who ever held the Executive office.

imported or domestic cigarettes sold
in this country. The bill will not
benefit the 1900 young men and

but it will keep others from going
the same route by making the
deadly cigarette too costly to be in
