Last night, after getting my copy
in shape for the printers, thought
! would take a short stroll and get
a breath of fresh air before retiring
for the night. But no sooner had
put my head outside the house than
my nostrils we're greeted by a
stencil like unto nothing on earth
or in the heavens above or the
waters beneath, or sort of triple
compound of sewer, slaughter house
and glue factory.
Looking around discovered that
it came from a cigarette in the
hands of a calIow youth who, with
his hair parted in the middle and
legs incased in trousers that looked
like moulds, was parading up aud
down with young lady on his arm
and befouling the air as he went
with the fumes from this mind
wrecking, strengthening concoc-
ton of opium, arsenic and alleged
tobacco.
Why any self-respecting young
lady will allow these things smoked
in her presence is amystery, and II
sisters and sweethearts would for
bid it, we would see no more of the
narrow-chested, pale-faced young
men and boys, who walk like a
knee-sprung turkey on a stony road
and look like a frog that has indi-
gestion, that have come ID the train

LITTLE TESTS AND JINGLES.
To My Pipe.

Here's to you, my pretty, precious peti
Your slender graceful figure don't forget
Is lovelier by far to me y0u bet,
Than maiden eyes, blonde or brunette.
Your amber lips meet mine, and ali
Sweet -ins piration then draw.
And lovely. languid smoke you know
Which carries my tired soul out far.
Beyond this rotten realm Of life,
Beyond this horrid, dreadful strife
For breath to breathe; you are my wife,
Therefore I'm not with trouble rife.
I breathe your breath into my soul,
let your smoke waves through me roll.
You have of me the sole control,
Whether sit, run, ride or stroll.
The world condemns you, pretty pet.
And says that we are both well met,
But perfumed darling, pray don't fret,
Nor cherish one poor, weak regret
! am your friend, wen die together,
We are strung az with a string ofleather;
Wen take no note of man nor weather,
Butsmoke and burn and drop together.

Ezekiel Burbanks. of Lexington,
Va, was born in 1887, and is still
with us at the age of 113 years.
He has drank whiskey and smoked
since he was Is years old. Wheth-
err the secret of long life lies in
either or both habits the chronicler
Of the above facts fails to state,
but about week ago Mr.. Bur
banks quit smoking and got sick.
Now he is likely to die. The moral
seems to be that it is dangerous to
quit smoking Pause minute till
/ fill my pipe. Many great men
have been smokers. Ben Jonson
was smoker. Napoleon once said
that tobacco smoking was a habit
only fit to amuse sluggards. This
remark was in the nature of ..sour
grapes, however, as the first man
was unable to forget the effect of
his first cigar. John Milton was a
regular smoker. Talleyrand took
snuff, and said all diplomats should
do likewise. Guizot, the French
said that smoking had
bis life ten years. Chas.
Lamb smoked the strongest tobac-
co, and once expressed wish that
his last breath might be drawn
a pipe and exhaled in a
pun. Other famous men who used
tobacco are Victor Hugo, Bis
mark, Tennyaon. Carlyle. Emmer-
son, Bulwer, Lytton, Dickens,

Gardner while in the city. By

him pretty well, and the honor

The Commercial Appeal claims
an interview with William Jen-
nings Bryan, in which be states
that silver has lost much of its i'm
portance; that the increased sup
ply Of gold has in a measure met
the demands Of the bimetallists.
This comes little late. There is
one Hill who would like to have
had this opinion sooner. 1t might
have given him boost for the
campaign of 1904.

SEEKING INDUSTRIAL FIELDS


Mr.. HilIedge, employed as Indus
trial Agent with the Southern Rail
way Company, whose official duty
aud sole occupation is to inyesti-
gate and report suitable and profit
able locations for Industrial enter
prises along the line of the Southern
system, was here last week, taking
a eursory view Of the city and not
ing the chief inducements and adj
vantages offered for various manu-
featuring enterprises. The results
of bis Investigations haye not been
disclosed, but we hope will be ia
vorably presented, as they should
be, to some substantial concerns
seeking a good field.
Onion City is the best agricul-
tural center in the State, and
there is no reason why it should
not be, as it has been in the past,
10 the front with manufactures.
We are now located on the South
ern Railway and Louisville and
Neutrality-suspicious., two of the great
est In the country and destined to
take the lead Of all other Southern
roads. Our citizens can not over
look the improvements in the towns
all along the line of the Illinois
Central Railway, which has recently
developed into a rich trunk line.
Some of these points are near us
and reaching for our territory. In
view of these facts, we would like
to suggest what seems to us spleu
did opportunity to prepare plans
to secure some of the rich manu-
factories which are gradually NOV
ing and locating South. New in
dustries are sure to follow the de-
velopment of these roads, and as
the Mobile & Ohio is now part of
the Southern Railway, a new sys-
tenn is in operation and plans are
already inaugurated for the com
plete transformation of the road
and the reconstruction and estab-
lishment of modern and thrifty en-
terprises 10 the towns on its line.
The Southern has purpose in
employing industrial agents, and it
is no less apparent that they have
accomplished the preliminary work
indicated for the increase of com
merce and manufacture in their
territory, and that the new man
agement with its vast resources
will move the earth to make it the
richest and greatest system in the
world.
Then it occurs to us that the
of the Commercial Club
should reorganize, correspond with
Mr.. Hilledge and other officials of
the Southern Railway Company,
inviting them to visit us again and
discuss IN full the inducements we
have to offer and the enterprises
we could probably secure. We do
not know how this will strike the
business men here, but it seems to
US an opportunity worth considera-
tion and immediate attention.

REDUCTION OF 100000
Senate Committees Bill to Reduce the
War Taxation.

Washington, Jan. -. - AIdrich,
chairman of the senate committee on
finance, yesterday reported the war
revenue reduction bill back TO the SEN
ate. The committee reports a COM
plete substitute for the bill as it
passed the house. Aldrich made 4
statement. explaining the changes
which are as follows: stamp taxes
repealed--promisory notes. mortgages,
bills of lading for export, powers of
attorney. protest, charter party, GER
tificates of all kinds. leases. ware
house receipts telegraphic dispatches,
telephone messages. passage tickets
costing less than $50. express receipts,
freight receipts. bonds Except bonds of
indemnity. legacies to religious. char
liable. literary or educational instltu-
tions. Special taxes repealed-com-
mercial brokers. Taxes reduced-con-
veyances. insurance. bankers. capital.
proprietary medicines, cigars, tobacco
and beer"
The statement says that having al
ways in view the revenue require
ments OF the government the purpose
of the committee has been to repeal
such of the taxes imposed by the war
revenue act of 1898 as are most an
noying and burdensome: to retain such
as would be kept as Il permanent
part of our revenue system or at least
retained until all war taxes can be re-
pealed. and to reduce others as fairly
and equitably as possible by some gen
eral plan of reduction. Pursuing this
general PLAN it has been possible to
reduce the taxes affected approximate
~ one-half. Taking the estimates OF
the treasury department as basis
the reduction of revenue effected by
the bill will be nearly $4,000. 900. n
reduction somewhat less than was
produced by the bill as It passed the
house of representatives.
The committees substitute provis-
ions in regard TO cigars, tobacco. beer
etc. are as follows: ''That on and
after July 1. 1901. the internal revenue
tax on cigars weighing more than
three pounds per thousand shall be
$3.50 per thousand. That on and
after July /. 1901, there shall be al
lowed discount of % per centum on
all sales by collectors to brewers. and
manufacturers of tobacco and snuff,
upon the stamps provided for the pay
ment of internal revenue taxes upon
beer and manufactured tobacco and
snuff: provided, that the discount al
lowed TO brewers upon beer stamps
shall be in lieu of the discount of 715
per centum allowed by the act of
June 13, 1885," The effect is to re-
duce the beer tax to S1.5O per barref
and that on snuff and tobacco to Q
cents a pound.
