DECLINE OF THE CIGARETTE.

The influence Of popular sentiment
is at last beginning to assert its pow
erful effect and the muchly maligned
cigarette is taking its departure in
manner so rapid as to astonish its
most rabid enemies. The change, it
might be we'll to observe, is not being
wrought by drastic legislation.
+ For reasons which need not DO can
vassed in full, the war against the
cigarette has been Of long and bitter
duration. The high tax, total prohi-
bition and other legislative weapons,
have been leveled in its direction and
efforts have even been made to have
Congress take measures looking to
its suppression. 1t survived all these
attacks, however, and when the
smoker wanted q "tack" it was not
hard to crafty his yearning, whether
he lived in an anti-cigarette State or
could buy his package free from legal
restraint. 1t was only when public
opinion against the little rolls began
TO assume 4 white heat that they lost
their popularity and that their sales
diminished with surprising swift
ness.
Young mon began to learn that the
cigarette habit handicapped them in
their search for profitable employ
ment; many corporations forbade their
use by employees, and lastly, the
cigarette fend discovered that his
social standing and prospects were
threatened by his love for that form
of tobacco, and that if he felt the
necessity of indulging he must do 80
in manner not tabooed by popular
convention. Thus has the popularity
of the cigarette wansd. We have tho
word of retail tobacco dealers, more
trustworthy in this instance than a
thousand government reports, that in
plcae of the cigarette they are selling
small cigars and pipes. The demand
for cigarettes has decreased At least
IS per cent. in tho last ten years and
daily their use is being abandoned.
Advocates of prohibition and other
reforms will do we'll to profit by this
revelation. In it they can see that
the only hope for the success of their
plans lies in the enlistment OF public
sympathy and support. What is not
wanted or not approved by the gen
eral public seldom survives any length
OF time. Popular disapproval is
more powerful than legislative enact
ment, and though it's operation may
be more gradual. it is q deal more
certain and final. Co,astt.u-
ton.

A Familiar Falsehood.

When a customer seeks to purchase
some well-known, widely advertised,
standard article, and the dealer tries to
sell him something else claiming the
offered substitute to be ''iust as good"
that dealer is guilty of fragrant false
hood.
Ii the substitute were just as good it
would sell on its own merits and would
be called for by customers instead OF hav-
ing to be unloaded upon them by means
of falsehood and deceit
The very fact of the comparison ''iuat
as good proves the claim to be untrue
We measure up, not down. We measure
the less by the greater, not the greater
by the less. When, therefore, some un-
known or little known article is ranged
up for measurement by well-known
standard article, the very fact of such
measurement and comparison, stamps
the substitute as a lesser thing than the
standard article with which it is COM
pared.
But this is only half the truth By
this we prove the claim lust as good"
to be a falsehood, but the extent OF that
falsehood i1 is impossible TO estimate,
Just as good" means. in general, adui-
teration in place of purity, an uncertain
quality instead Of q certain quality,
cheap material instead of good material.
And beyond all this the aduiterants NAV
be not simply making weights and cheats,
but IN some cases may be dangerous
poisons.
When the dealer says lust as good"
ask yourself lust as good" for whom?
You will find in the answer to that oues-
ton the motive of substitution, which ia
the extra profit paid the dealer by the
sale OF the substitutes and limitations of
| standard wares. Practically the dealer
says. when practieing the gentle art of
substitution, This is Just a good for
you, because it is a great deal more
profitable for me, and anything is good
enough for you which increases ny
profits

GROWTH OF THE SOUTH.

No one who compares the export
trade in cotton for the year 1900 with
former years can doubt its marked in
fuence upon the prosperity of the
South. The Treasury statistics show
that in 1900 the export OF unmanufac-
tured cotton reached a total of 6,671,-
SCI bales valued at 1914, 252, $50. In
1899 this trade amounted to 5,7S7 1858
bales valued at $l91, 167, 342; in 1898,
S,169, $50 bales valued at 1882. 76S, 2O4;
and in 1897 the value was 1912 ,523,-
500. In 1900 only about 60 per cent.
of the cotton crop was exported, and
for bv-products foreign countries paid
us $2,673,479 for waste; 81, 1875, Up
for cotton seed cake and meal; and
$15, 451 ,24O for cotton seed oil. 1t is
estimated at present that only about
so per cent. of the cotton seed is man
ufactured, the total crop of 1900 being
about 5.O00,O 900 tons, the manufac-
turcd product of onehalf of which
would he 92,50O,O00 gallons of oil,
937 800 tons Of meal, 1,125, 900 tons
of hulls and about 125, 900 bales of
linters or short cotton ginned from
the seed.
In quantity our exports Of cotton
seed products were: Oil, 44.536, o67
gallons; cake and meal, 100, 635 tons.
From these figures it can be seen that
the value of cotton seed oil manufac-
tured in 1900 was about $52, 900, 900:
of cake and meal ABOUT So, 900, 900;
the total manufactured product of
| cotton seed reaching an estimated
figure of $54,OOO,O00 The average
price of cotton seed is probably about
So a ton. which would make the cot
ton seed crop in its raw state worth
about $50, 100000, which added to
| 1928, 754,31O. the estimated value of
the lint, gives nearly $500, O00,O 900 as
| the value of the raw cotton crop OF
1900. This has made possible the
possession in the South today of more
surplus wealth than at any time in
it's history. Progress and prosperity
are everywhere in evidence. Cotton,
however, is not the only factor in the
situation. The South, and especially
that portion of it tributary to the
Southern Railway. is growing in man
| ufactures daily. Its furnaces, mines,
cotton and cotton seed oil mills,
| furniture factories, lumber and wood
working plants, tobacco factories and
other industries are showing the
world how cheaply the raw material
can be turned into finished products.
1t has also given employment to
thousands of people with all the adj
vantages which regular and profitable
wages bring to community. The
banks of the different States are re-
tlecting this progress, as is shown by
their recent satisfactory statement

THE SOUTHERN RAILWAY.

1t is matter of legitimate pride
that the growth and development OF
the South has been marked by the
success of the Southern Railway,
distinctively Southern enterprise de-
pendent for it's advancement upon
the prosperity of our section. Mr..
J. S. b. Thompson, who is so well
known to us, recently appeared be-
fore the Mississippi Railroad Com
mission, and put this fact SO clearly
that we will quote his words:
"The Southern Railway Company,
is in every sense a Southern road. 1t
has purposely adopted the name Of
Southern in order to all the more
identify it with the section it serves.
1t is Southern corporation, having
received its charter from Southern
State-Virginia 1t is otficered and
managed by Southern men. Its pres
ident, Mr.. Spencer, is a native of
Georgia, graduate of the Univer-
sity of Virginia, was a Confederate
soldier, serving in this territory, and
has been connected with the Southern
roads all his life.
''Its first vice-president, Colonel
Andrews, is a native of North Caro-
lima, Confederate soldier, who served
under General Lee, and whose whole
life since the war has been devoted
to operating railroads in Virginia and
the Carolinas, and other parts of tho
South, and who now resides in Raleigh,
N. G.
ats second vice-president, Mr.. Fin
ley, is native of this very State
Mississippi-his home having been
Pass Christian, and his early train
ing in the railroad service having
been on the old jackson road, rum
ming out of New Orleans, which is
now a part of the Illinois Central.
''Its Traffic Manager, Mr.. Culp, a
West Virginian, who has spent all OF
his life in the railroad service in the
South.
ats Assistant General Manager,
Captain Pegram, Virginian, lately
superintendent of the Memphis and
Charleston road.
Its Assistant to the General Man
| ager, Captain Green. a South Caro-
linian.
''Its Assistant Passenger Traffic
Manager, Mr.. Turk, Virginian.
''Its General Passenger Agent, Mr..
Hardwick, an Albanian.
'Its General Freight Agent, Mr..
| Nell, of Selma. Alabama.
''Its Auditor, Mr.. Plant, of Selma,
Alabama.
dts Treasurer, Mr.. Ansley, oil
Georgia.
''Its General Purchasing Agent,
Colonel Minetree, Virginian, who
served on General Mahone's staff dur
ing the Confederate war.
ats Assistant General Counsel,
Colonel Henderson, Tennesseean.
''Its Solicitor, Mr.. Fairfax Harrison,
son of Mr.. Burton Harrison, a Vir-
gilman, and the Secretary Of President
Jefferson Davis, and l am speaking
myself as Southern man, being a
Virginian."
Mr.. Thompson's modesty prevents
him from saying more about himself
but we may add that in addition to
his ability he displays an invariable
courtesy and tact that enables him
to do even an unpleasant thing in a
pleasant way, indeed we can testify
that genuine courtesy characterizes
all classes of Southern Railway Off
Gals and it is one Of the reasons the
Company has so many friends along
its line, Notwithstanding the clash OF

CANCER

Sufferers from this horrible malady
nearly always inherit it-not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant in the blood fol
years, or until you reach middle life, then
the first little sore or ulcer makes its ap-
pearance or a swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part of the body,
gives the first warning.

1t is not possible to lay down any gen
eral rules as to how far it is advisable to
go in all kinds of sporting exercises and
other amusements SO that no injury may
be done to the heart, or as to how much
bodily or mental exertion each individual
is able to support. One rule, however, is
applicable in all cases-whatever the
sport may be, in the beginning it should
be carried on slowly, with but a Slight
exertion Of strength. which should then
be increased very gradually. Should pal
pitation of the heart set in after any ex-
ertion it may be taken for granted that
the proper amount of exercise has been
surpassed. 1t is also advisable for those
who devote themselves to any sport that
requires unusual effort to have their heart
