That Cigarette..Bill.

To the Editor: Our people are asking
What has become of that Cigarette bin
of Seantor Brown" No bill has been
introduced at the present session that so
commends it's reasonableness and good
sense to the people of North Carolina who
have been in n position to observe, as
this same bill. Teachers know the ter
ribly disastror~ effects of cigarette smok-
ing on the bouy. mind and morals of
boys, and this class of men is especially
interested in the passage of this bill If
the parents in North Carolina knew one
half the EVIL that is being wrought by
cigarettes, the frightful harvest OF ruin
and death being annually gathered in our
State, they would here, as in other places
in our country, boycott the stores which
sell them, even il they left one stone
upon another that was not thrown down
in the factories when they are made
Some one has foolishly compared the
cigarette evil to the whiskey evil Great
as is this latter curse, it is not to be
compared with the cigarette evil among
young men. Talk about crippliAg North
Carolina industries! The one industry
our statesmen should see Is not crippled
is raising men with strong bodies. clear
and educated brains, and pure morals
and cigarettes cripple this industry more
than any other one evil
Let the bill pass.

North Carolina schools for the deaf and
dumb and the blind 1t passed second
reading.
Senator Broughton then said he sup
posed the bill was based on reports
about the institution circulated by a
Republican who had been discharged
for his incompetency. Since the reso-
luton had been introduced he wanted
ii passed for he had absolute confidence
in the gentlemen in charge of the
school ana he thought this was due
them now.
Senator Lindsey said he had heard
these reports and therefore thought that
they ought TO be looked into. That was
why he had introduced it.
Senator Webb said if Mr.. Lindsey
had any reasonable ground for believing
them true then he would vote for it,
but he wanted more than mere idle
rumor to act on.
Senator Lindsey said he had heard re-
ports that the Management was eXtrava-
giant, and they were widely circulated.
Senator Gudger said that unless some
Senator will say that he believes there
is some mismanagement or fraud then
he could not vote for such resolutions
of investigation for any institution. 1t
is not right to start such unless some
one will say that there is just cause
for suspecting mismanagement These

! tee on EQucdIlOn,
| institutions were without suspicion in
| his mind.
| Senator Brown could see no reason
| for not investigating any State insti-
tuition. Ha had received private letters
asking for this investigation, and he
thought it unfortunate to force the
Senator'S to state their reasons for
wanting an investigation. There We're
no charges against the school except
reports of extravaganza and it was only
proper to investigate.
Senator Broughton said no one con-
| nected With the institution had seen
him about this matter. One gentleman
did tell him this mrning that he hoped
the bill would pasS-that the institu-
tion was ready for an inspection any
time. He knew the directors and Of
ficers were men above reproach.
Senator Woodard said that when a
Senator wanted to investigate a State
institution, had any reason for SO de-
string, then he should first go to the
regular committee in charge of the in
Stitution
Senator Gudger said mere floating ru-
mors would not justify having such
investigation.
Senator Lindsey said these rumors
had already gone out and an examfna-
ton should be had
Senator Webb moved to refer the
resolution to the committee on Deaf,
Dumb and Blind, and the motion was
carried.

CARNEGIE rs A MARK
Asked to Pay a Debt Contracted by
His Mother So Years Ago.
Nephew of Scotch Woman Who Lent
the Family Money to Emigrate
With Asks Reimbursement at
Compound Interest.

Andrew Carnegie's dollar-scattering
campaign in Great Britain has deyel-
oped the alleged existence of ro-
mantle debt the iron philanthropists
family left behind when it emigrated
to the American Land of plenty So years
ago.
Henry ID. Lennax, resident of Glas-
gov, asserts that his aunt loaned Mr..
Carnegie's mother IL shillings ($2.75)
to help defray the family's ocean pas
sage, receiving the promise of repay
ment when fortune should smile on the
Carnegies.
Mr.. Lennox calculates that at the
rate of five per cent. compound inter-
est the little obligation now amounts
to $44. He suggests that if Mr.. Carne-
gle can spare the change he might be
disposed to remember his old friends.
Mr.. Lennox says:
"When the Carnegies left Dunferm-
line they were so poor that the mother
had to borrow money to take them to
the United States. My aunt, though a
poor woman herself, helped them out
to the extent of II shillings, but the
promise to return the loan evidently
escaped the memory of the benefi-
ciaries, because they never repaid the
sum borrowed.
"My aunt is dead, but she left two
daughters. one of whom is the wife of
humble joiner in Dunfermline, while
the other is maiden lady engaged in
small drapery business in Edinburgh.
Don't you think that If Mr.. Carnegie
knew this he would be willing to do
handsomely by his mothers friends?"
Meavy Wellington Wack, general
manager of company whose services
as collection agency Mr.. Lennox has
enlisted, informed the Chicago Record
Herald correspondent the other night
that the matter has been seriously in.
sestigated by Mr.. Carnegie during his
present visit to his highland castle OF
bkibo, and that he has decided to settle
a very comfortable endowment on the
heirs OF the family of his benefactress
