NEW FACTS ON AN OLD SUBJECT.

charity aad Children, the excellent
organ of the Baptist Orphanage at
brownsville, has grave editorial in
its issue of this week upon the
cigarette habit among boys and its
effects upon them. 1t has no doubt
that the cigarette destroys five boys
where whiskey kills one; and urges
its young readers to abstain from
them, telling them that they must
surrender their manhood or their
cigarettes. The advice is most eX-
cellcnt, though we have doubt as to
its effectiveness, the better the adj
vice in the most Of cases the less
likely it is to be taken. In ma
Ioritv of instances boy begins smok-
ing cigarettes because he thinks it is
mannish. Directly it becomes a
habit in him, and not being old
enough to have developed strength
of character commensurate with the
strength of the vice, he fancies that
he cannot grapple successfully with
it and surrenders to it without a
struggle; or else-being always very
much smarter at that age than he
ever is afterwards thinks he
knows better than any one else what
is good and what bad for him, he
sneers at his advisers and will not
stop because he does not want to.
There has lately cone to the
writer's knowledge very impressive
story upon this subject. 1t is from
4 gentleman who has recently had
personal business with the chief
officer in an important Southern city
of one of the best known surety and
bonding companies in the country.
This officer told our friend that his
company has bonded some thousands
of boys and youths of nineteen years
of age and under. who were in
positions of trust; that out of the
whole number seven hundred have
gone wrong, and careful inquiry into
the history of each developed the
fact that, without a single exception,
these seven hundred boys smoked
cigarettes. Now this company APP
ponds to the otherquestions to which
it requires answers from applicants
for bonds, ''Do you smoke cigarettes?'
This is the best possible proof of
what many persons have observed.
that this habit not only saps the
physical constitution, but perverts
the moral nature of its victim The
lesson here taught is an awful one
We do not suppose this recital of
facts will have any influence upon
those whom it is designed to benefit
but it goes for what it is worth

OPENING OF THE GRADED SCHOOL

Monday marked the beginning Of

1t was the opening Of the Graded

was no public demonstration, no
speech making.
But its importance is fully reaIized'
the occasion not lacking III enthu,I-
astic interest. Nor was this feeling
confined to school officials and the
public. alone The children too were
kecnly alive to the situation and man
ifestcd an carnestncss Of manner and
zealousness of spirit indicative of

study and rapid advancement we be

About 275 pupils were enrolled.
several of them being from the coun-
try. Many of the parents and inter
estcd visitors were present despite
the rain and mud.
1t was an interesting scene, an en-
spring occasion. The children were
clean faced, neatly dressed, bright,
happy, intelligent looking ranging
in age from the little tots of six years
to pretty maidens and manly boys
away up in their teens.
The building is well nigh model
one for the purpose, the faculty a
strong and well balanced corps, the
Superintendent a most capable and
efficient man. or these the GOLD

Miss Fannie Aston, teacher of

discipline, the assistance they have

THE DISrlAL SWAMP CANAL.

Few people realize the great
amount of traffic which is just now
utilizing that important commercial
artery the Dismal Swamp Canal,
which less than two weeks ago was
formally opened to navigation. An
evidence of the advantages of this
great inland waterway is shown by
the fact that the lumber manufac-
turers and dealers of North Carolina
are utilizing it for transporting their
product to the great markets of the
North. Yesterday three barges passed
through the canal lum Der laden. from
North Carolina to Philadelphia
