The semi-weekly messenger. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1897-1908, 1901-02-05

That excellent weekly, h Monroe
Enquirer, considering the anti-cigarette
law does not seem to believe that the
cigarette is hurtfuI or deadly in its
effects. It says:
Some boys seem to be born to be no
good, and you nay keep whiskey, ci-
garettes and all such stuff away from
them and still they will be absolutely
worthless. If a boy Ia no grit, no
will power. no genuine backbone and
lacks manhood enough to quit an evil
when he finds that it is getting the
better of him, you canno make such
a boy worth anything by legislative
enactments. We would not be under
stood as opposing an anti-cigarette
law, for we are in favor of such a law
but we are simply stating some facts
about weak, wavering minds which
are ruined by indulgence in h evil"
