A BUSINESS VIEW OF THE CIGAR
ETTE.

The most effective blow that has
yet been directed against the cigar
cite evil, a blow more effective than
all the State Legislation that has
heretofore been enacted, is the order
which the officials Of the South Caro-
lima division of the Southern Railway
has passed, as related in the press
dispatches this morning. According
to this order, all employees of the
railroad company who smokes cigar
cites must quit, or lose their Jobs,
and no person who smoke cigarettes
will be taken into the employ Of the
company. At present, this order APP
plies to only one division of the
system, but it may be extended to
others.
This action of the Southern Rail
way Company is the most deadly
blow yet given the cigarette. 1t will
have more effective results than
could be hoped for by any State
Legislation for the reason that it
makes war upon the cigarette from a
business standpoint Men who
could not be prevented from drink
ing by any sort of legislation with
which they might be confronted,
have willingly and consistently
chosen life of sobricty when the
question was presented to them as Il
matter of business. Only sober men
can give railroad good service; no
railroad can afford to employ any
other kind. Those employees who at
one time thought differently have
either reformed or are out OF Job
The business of this requirement of
the railroad people for sober men to
handle their trains has never been
questioned - certainly not by the
travelling public-but there may be
some who will want to know what
understanding has to do with the
question of efficiency. TO these it
will be sufficient to say that railroad
officials hold drinker and cigar
ette-smoker in equal disfavor, whether
rightly or wrongly is not the question
in point. The very fact that great
railroad company has concluded that
the safety and efficiency Of its service
will be promoted by tie employment
Of men who do not smoke cigarettes
puts the matter beyond argument.
and will have more far-reaching
effect than any step yet taken in the
suppression of the cigarette evil.
Railroad employees will not To- the
only ones who will be put to think
ing in consequence of this anti-cigar
cite order.-Charlotte Obserrer.

BRYAN MAY DECIDE IT.
Place of Holding the Democratic Con-
vention to Be Settled.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-When Mr..
Bryan reaches Washington Saturday
the time and place OF holding the
Democratic National Convention will
probably be determined.
While the determination of these
questions is In the hands of the COM
mittee and, therefore, will not be
formally settled until the meeting Of
that body in February, there is dis
position on the part of the party
managers to take whatever action
that may accord with the wishes and
judgment of the man who, 1t is be-
lleved, Is certain to be the party's
nominee for the Presidency.
Active work is being done by rep
resentatives of Kansas City and Mil
waukee, and the committees of both
of these cities are bringing every
possible pressure to bear, but these
efforts are bringing no definite results
and q majority of the members will
be influenced by what Mr.. Bryan says.
The announcement has been made
be representatives Of Kansas City and
Milwaukee that each city stands ready
to cOntrIbute $1,000 to the expenses
of the convention.
While nothing has been formally
offered by New York City, IL is be-
lisved that she will contribute $780,
900 and perhaps more to the campaign
fund, in case the convention is held
there, and viii also bear the expenses
of the convention itself.

ABOUT HOG RAISING.
J. w. BOles, Of Auxvasse, Writes a
Good Article Upon the Subject.
From the Fulton Gazette.


AUxvAssE, Mo, Jan. 1s.-As you
requested me to write you q short ar
ticle on the bog will try to do 1t. 1
consider a good hog one of the most
profitable animals the farmer raises.
Every farmer can and should raise q
few hogs. can take one good SOW
and raise enough pigs from her TO
make all the meat and lard I need for
my use and sell enough to pay my
taxes besides. have made more and
quicker money from raising hogs than
from any other stock that ] have
raised on the farm.
Now, as 1t will soon be time for sows
to begin TO farrow it 10 necessary to
arrange to save the pigs. About two
weeks before farrowing time SOW
should have bed to herself In good,
dry, warm place with straw enough to
make comfortable bed. Wheat straw
is the best, cut up, Give her good
feed OF bran and shorts or oats and
bran at least once day and a little
corn at night, the other feed.
| have saved more and had better
pigs from sows that were almost fat,
but not corn fat. We should always
know when her time is up and keep
close watch on her, Stay with her
while farrowing. See that all the pigs
get around and suck milk from each
teat OF the SOW 80 that the milk will
flow freely.
II your SOW Is cross she will be quiet
when you begin to milk her. II she
seems chilly tuck the bedding closely
around her, spread a blanket over her
and stay with heruntil abe gets warm;
she will then get still; then you can
go to the house and 60 to bed; she will
lie there until morning. Two lanterns
hung in a tight house will keep II
warm. Feed her nothing except clear
well water little warm for the first
"a hours. For the first ten days feed
her mostly soft feed, bran with very
little ship and corn. After ten days
increase the feed until you give her
about what she will eat.
Exercise and sunshine are necessary
for the healthfulness of the pig. Don't
have pigs come later than October.
Early pigs are all right IL you have q
good, warm, dry place for them. Ar
range to have two litters year. The
fall litter will make your meat and
the spring litter will pay your taxes
and expenses.
II you can keep more than one, the
second and third SOW will help lift the
mortgage. Ten good sows will make
you more money than ten good mares.
The hogs are the farmers friends II
we breed the best and take care of
them we are sure to make money.
Yours truly,
