The HsOy-HAiIIcr.

This is startling name which IL
prominent New York physician gives
to tho cigarette. lie describes the
vile thing as made Of tobacco soaked
In nicotine, which has in It several
other deadly poisons. Even tie paper
in which is wrapped is whitcned with
arsenic. lie declares that the lists
Of deaths found daily in our papers,
caused byS,'hcart- faiiurc,' ought most
OF them to read, "causcd bv cigarette
smoking.' And he adds that It is the
duty OF every physician to explain to
parents how dangerous is this habit,
especially for growing boys. Yet in
spite of thi: and man other like warn
lnSs, one cannot walk the streets OF
any town or villcgc without having
cigarette smoke putlcd in ones face
from the lips OF mere boys. The

"A Classic SpllllcIarlIll.

There is Il classic sanhedrim in the
mountains. Mr.. Augustine Smythc, nf
Charleston, and hevv of lawyers are
| trying to get Judge SimOn!0n, OF FIat
| Rock, to issue an injunction preventing
the Scnboard Air Line from cutting rates.
1t is intimatcd that this movement is in
| the interest nf some rival road, which
does not want Tie rate lowered. The
| movement is 4 very rrnla, k;hlr one, and
1t is not believed that the coult has any
| buSircss with such Il case, If Judge
| Simnnl OH can issue an ruict at Flat Rock,
that the Scah"arl Air Line railroad can
| not charge lower rates than its comprtit
orS, then thc judy" could also cnioin the

Smythc believes h" has discovered Il con

unearthcd u conspiracy in Madison Square
Garden. The only question before the
! court in the language OF Mr.. Alex.
King, ''i tho po Nrr Of Il lniliOad to c.
duco it's rates subject to the regulation

in no sense Il conspiracy however much
II may damage such rival. but it is only
4 fair exercise Of power to conduct its

But there is ann'hcr remarkable side
OF this remarkable case. MIR. Augustine
Smrihr, in the vr<tihulc ui Il very rllbo-
rate argument took occasion ia make a
stump speech lie delivered an rulnrv
upon Judge Simonton, rumplmcmtcd his
war record, paid his RESPECTS to Ben
'Iillmah, and actually suggested that the
editor of the News and Courier III.
t" Flat Rock for cOntrmpt.
The Charl".ton News and Courier has
intimntcd in "dvancc Of the hearing that
his was daring and dangerous example
OF government bv mi juncti0n; that it was
M cncr"achmcn' upon the rights OF the
people, and that Judge s;imenion would
he playing into the hands Of 'rillman and
AhGrld by entertaining any such proposi.
tionS in court.
Mr. Augustine Smythc mtima,cS that
II might be necessary, to preserve the
dignity OF the court, to have these edit orS
summoned To explain their irrrvcrcut
remarks. The truth Of the matter Is that
this case has no bnSinr.s in court. The
News and Courier said so, and tLc News
and Courier WAS right. There ave domains
upon which the United States judiciary
has no more right to enter tlrn CoXcy's
army, ,;nd in spite of the Indignation Of Mr.
Augustine Smyihc we trust that the
learned and honorrd Judge will conclude
to keep of the grass.

Miss Jeanette Day Suicides.

The people Of our usually quiet
little city were greatly startled
last Sunday morning whom the
nows spread about that Il young
lady had committed suicide by |
taking strycEnine. Inquiry found
the rumor only too true. The su-
icide proved to be Miss Jeanette
Day, the pretty Is year old daugh-
tor of Mr.. Nj. V. Day, the owner
and manager of the Bowie Telo-
phone Exchange. The drug used
was strychnino, which had been
bought on tho previous evening
at the Bowie Drug Go. Mr.. George
Slaughter,tho we'll known prescrip-
ton clerk, was on duty when the
young lady called. She appeared
in excellent spirits, was smiling,
and asked for rough on rats, say
ing she wanted to poison rats. MIR.
Slaughter was about to wrap the
package up, when Jcannotto asked
him what it was worth. IIo told
her Is cents. She then said she
only wanted a nickol's worth.
These packages are not broken and
Jcannotto then asked for 5 cents
worth of strychninc which was
wrapped up for her and labeled
poison. Sho thon tripod lightly
out of tho store. Before 10 o'clock
the next morning the poor girl was
doad. Tho burial took place Mon
day at i 30 p. III. from tho Motho-
dist church. Rrv. W. \. Stuckoy
spoke consolation over the grave.
Deceased was 5 fect, 4 inches N
height, had dark hair and eyes,
and WAS plump of figure. The
young lady it seems was in love
with a former cmployc of the Tel
cphonc Exchange, Leon Caruth
now located in distant town.
lIcr parents objected to their keep
ing company, and also to any cor
rospoHdcncc passing betwcon
thrm. notwithstanding their OBJ
ioctions correspondence did pass
between tho young people.
The unfortunate young girl ls
described as having possessed an
amiablo disposition, and the
father says mover gave him or her
mother a short word. He also
says that he never. in her life, laid
his hand upon her by way of pun
ishmcnt. flo knows of no cause
for the rash act, unless it was the
modification that Jeanette felt at
meeting him after having broken
her promise to write to Curuth.
The blow has fallen heavily up.
on the bcrcuvod parents. 1t bows
thoir heads in grief. May God, in
his mercy, console them, as we'll
as the sisters and brothors, and
also accept the unfortunate one
into His heavenly kingdom.-

The Ewing Should be HscInclnb her
cI AS Well as the Dead Hon


1t is a growing custom to con-
tribute large sums of money to
the erection Of costly statues and
monuments in honor of the dead.
| belicvc that we should honor the
dead as wo are paying them our
last tributes of respect either here
or hereafter, because hereafter
thcro is to be no respect Of por-
son.
Nevertheless, all that We can do
will never change their condition
for their destiny is already sealed.
The dead are gone from us, and
care nothing for statues or monu-
ments. Those who arc at rcst do
not desire the honors Of mon, nor
mar cannot do anything that will
honor those who are bunishcd from
the face of the Almighty. But
.i!nrc is a class (too much neglect
od) to whom We may do honor
that will have its effect here and
hcrcalter-tho living, whom we ne
glect. We have thcm with us and
may, by pursuing the right course
effect some great changes with
them, the result OF which may
save them from the doom Of ctcr-
n:;l punishment.
Judging tho future from tho past !
we would have to acknowledge
that, if time should end now, most
of the human family would he
doomed to eternal punishment,
from which they could never be
rescued. This Is the class who
can appreciate tho honor bestowed
upon them and whom we may res
cuo from undcr the chains of ig-
norAnca and disgrace. Some men
may suggest that this means mis-
sionHry work. If it does, there Is
plenty of missionary work to be
done in cvory community and III
almost cvcry home. We should
cultivate tho moral and mental
faculties Of tho children and train
them up in the way thcv should
go and when they get old they will
not depart from it.
