pany should advertise a special rate OF
two and One-third fare. on the Fourth
instead Of one and Uue-thlrd, doubtless
great many Of our ColOrod citizens
would be patriotic enough TO pay 1t and
thus keep up the tiue-uUu0red custom
of loyalty celebrating the Fourth.
No, eOerythiHq doesn't stop work.
The hot weather gets not or ana hotter
and the flies get thicker and more

creditor continues his unremitting en-

While the HERALD is making war on
the vice and corruption of the young
men in Columbia, would it not be well
for the people out in the country to
open their eyes little? 1t is true that
they are protected from the saloon by
the tour mile law, and there is very
little temptation to gambling, but still
the cigarette is with us. In the midst
OF the wholesale denunciatlOn that il,
or was, heaped upon the last General
Assembly, let us stop and greatly re-
turn thanks to them for declining to
repeal the law prohibiting the sale of
cigarettes to minors. Let us rather say
that it is not the boys we want to save
from the cigarette, but that they ought
to be saved from the man who willfully
violates the law by selling them
cigarettes. What is law tor anyway?
Respectfully,
SINBAD THE SAILOR.
