THE MONEY WE BURN.

Truly the people of the UnlteoSotateS
have money to burn. The oest eVl
denee of this is the amount OF none!
spent annually by them for tobacco te
saw nothing of the other means theI
have developed for burning the coin OF
the realm. They spend every year fof
tobacco alone a total of over 1884, OO,-
600. This certainly is an astonishing
sum.
Two-thirds of this enormous amount
of money goes out every year from the
rockets of the people for the consump-
tion of cigars alone. Smoking ana
chewing tobacco consume the greater
mart of the remainder, while cigarettes
burn no the smallest sum OF all. The
figures are furnished by the govern
ment in the latest official report on The
conditions of the tobacco trade, ano
they are very surprising.
In the first place. there were manu-
featured for home consumption In the
United States last year total OF 4'529,-
872.304 cigars. And this great hg-
nre does not represent the consunp-
tion. There were manufactured the
wear before over 100000 900 cigars IN
excess of the natural demand. This
was done to evade the anticipated war
tax on the manufacturer. Including
these millions of cigars the consump-
tion for the year shows an increase
over the previous twelve months Of
over 100000 900. This means that the
cigar smoking of the United States
during the year increased nearly per
cent.
Butwhile the cigar production shows
an increase there is a critical condltlon
presented in cigarettes. While there
were four billion of cigarettes smoked
in the country during the year 1899 the
consumption fell off oyer 10 per cent
last year, meaning a decrease OF over
4OO. 600. 900 cigarettes. Unless the anti
cigarette crusade is abandoned or the
tax on the commodity materially less
ened there is likely to be another
slump in this years output.
There is little, if any, decrease in
the amount of cut smoking tobacco
sold. Despite this there is big fall
ing off in the production of cut to-
baccos. This indicates that the chew
ing habit is materially decreasing.
An investigation proves that this is
true.
The chewing of tobacco is confined
very largely to districts. Missouri is
the great chewing state, with Ken
lucky ranking second and New Jersey
and New York third and fourth. Every
one of these states shows big de-
crease in the past year. Missouri has
fallen off over 100000 pounds, New
Jersey over 100000, Kentucky 1900
600 and New York 100000 pounds.
This means that the chewing of to-
bacco has fallen off nearly % per cent.
in one year. Such decreases would
wipe it out practically in no time.
Altogether, the consumption of to-
bacco is far beyond what it was in the
previous year.

itIes of the South.
At the gathering of real estate
men at Waterloo, Iowa, last week,
Prof. w. G. Stubbs delivered
lengthy address, of which the
following is an extract from the
Waterloo Courier: s
Prof. w. G. Stubbs, who con-
duets the governmental station
at New Orleans, is a southern
gentleman to the manor born.
His ancestors settled in Virginia
during the last half OF the 18th
century, and today while he lives
in Louisiana, he owns the old an

rich knowledge, of lore acq uired

deeply impressed with the dig
nifty and the joys of honest labor.
Prof. Stubbs was the representa-
tive of the United States govern

sources and possibilities for
agricultural pursuits in Hawaii

oughly in late public documents
ON that country.

What did he find? His home in

Team Have Exciting Experience.
Athens, Ca, Oct. S.-The University
football team came very near losing it's
coach, Mr. w. A. Reynolds. Reynolds,
together with E. Y. Hill, Jr.. of Wash
ington, Ga, and C. G.. Strickland of
Valdosta, both of whom are Univer-
sity men, went driving Sunday after
noon to Mitchell's Bridge. They were
driving leisurely along, when their
horse becoming suddenly frightened,
gave a bolt and began to run down
the road at break neck speed. Both
Reynolds and Hill swung to the reins
with might and main. The buggy struck
a large stone on the side of the road,
throwing Hill out violently. The horse
then left the road and tore down a
steep incline. At this juncture Coach
Reynolds jumped from the buggy.
Strickland, who was left and had no
control of the reins, swung to the seat,
ard awaited his fate. The buggy was
turned over. throwing him out. and
plunging the horse into ravine by the
river side. Strickland received several
gashes about the face, and it was
thought at first that his arm was
broken. The horse was killed. Coach
Reynolds and Hill did not receive any
serious injuries. Hill and Strickland
are both football men, one being CEN
ter rush and the other right guard. The
escape of the young men is considered
remarkable.
Miss Maggie May Pice, one Of Ath-
ems most beautiful society girls, was
run over yesterday morning by a boy
on bicycle. She was thrown with vio-
lence to the ground, and her face and
arm were terribly bruised and her leg
broken. The boy on the bicycle was
