And on admitting this, there is one
more point I wish to make, although
it be small. That is the cost. Now
some may say the cost is so small
that it wilt never amount to any
thing. This is not true. The young
man who begins by smoking Gig
arettes spends a small amount on
himself, but he has friends and they
must all be treated" Soon he is
smoking his ten-cent cigars, and a
"set-up" to his friends then costs
something more, and when the year
is ended a goodly amount is thrown
away on an unnecessary habit.
Some may try to get around this
point, but the sale of it has made
many people rich, and millions are
now making their living by working
at it, and the users are paying for it
all.

A Chatty Letter from Patience.

Dear Aunt Jennie Il have not
forgotten you, and I am still an in
terested reader of Our Social Chat,
but have been keeping quiet for the
past few months because there was
such a large circle of interesting and
entertaining writer's. But as there
were no letters last week (to my
great disappointment, I decided I
would write just to let you all know
I am still alive, and to keep my
name on your list, please.

my mother tell a great deal of the

Tobacco Using Again Condemned.
Sampson Co., N. G.

Dear Aunt Jennie Il was de-
lighted to notice some time ago
letter from Watchman about the use
of tobacco. And since he asks some
of the Chatterers for their opinion.
I wish to add few thoughts to his.
The tobacco habit in any form is
surely not a cleanly one. The spit
ting that follows the use of tobacco
certainly does not in any sense make
the homes hap ser, nor yet decrease
the labor Of keeping the house tidy.
How pleasant i. is to visit our neigh
Dor who has lean white hearth III
stead of one covered with dark brown
spots
Certainly every one will agree that
tobacco used for smoking, chewing,
or dipping is an unnecessary habit.

Aunt Jennie's Letter.

You remember that Sincere's let
ter last week treated of country chill
dren, the time they work, and the
hard time they have generally. Well,
she may be right, but it is dark
cloud that has no silver lining. In
dustry is the first essential to success
in any field of labor, and the lessons
learned in this branch by country
children make the main spring in
the machinery of State. This con-
tributes more largely to their future
welfare than any other one thing.
They learn to act, to persevere, to
overcome obstacles, and accomplish
things. Tyranny is not promotive
of industry. While it's effects may
appear to casual observers to induce
it, in the end it will prevent indus
try from becoming a habit; it's effects
are transient. There is no such
thing as an education without energy
and industry as a foundation on
which it is builded. The little girl
of whom our correspondent speaks
is indeed an exceptional child. There
are few children of nine years of age
capable of managing a dairy. While
the tasks allotted country children
oftentimes seem too hard for their
little hands to do, theirs is the cas-
lest life after all. They know no
such thing as restlessness and dis
comfort because of having too little
to do. City children are oftentimes
miserable because their little hands
have so few tasks to perform. The
place of all places to raise children
to be noble men and womanly women
is in Goods country, as one writer
aptly expresses it.
We have three excellent letters
this week. Mrs. s. E. M. returns af-
ter a long absence, and gives US a
glimpse of a beautiful river in East
ern Carolina. I hope that other mem
bers of the Circle will follow her ex-
ample and write US about the seem
cry and the historic spots in their
neighborhoods. Patience is one of
our most delightful takers, and her
letter this week is one of the best
that she has written. Search Word,
who has recently favored us with a
number of thoughtful letters, talks
this week about the tobacco habit.
Ny roll call thus far seems to have
accomplished little good. I ask that
all write as often as possible, with
out waiting to be called.

ments of the paper, but I think it is

Jennie Acton, | enjoyed your let
ter IN the issue of September 9th.

sentiments on the drink question (my
pet theme). I, too, think if anything
on earth will justify a woman in pro-
curing a divorce, it is drunkenness.
| have said so much against drinking
l guess you all know my sentiments
ere this, so I won't discuss it further
this time, but will thank Watchman
for his timely letter against the use
of tobacco. / hope none of the Chat
terers use the filthy stuff, but if they
do, let me advise them to quit, for
next to strong drink / think it the
greatest evil the human race has fall
len heir to. Besides dulling the in
tellect and generally impairing the
system, physicians who have studied
closely it's effect on the system, say
that excessive users of tobacco
shorten their lives on an average at
least five years" While | think it
wrong to use it, I think it equally
wrong to cultivate it for sale, not
withstanding the money there may
be in it. If those who have chill
dren to raise, will read the article,
Tobacco Using Condemned" in The
Progressive Farmer of October 7th,
it will, think, open their eyes to
a few of the evils of tobacco.
Well, Search Word, I thank you
for your noble defence of the girls
after all Of our young friend Hor-
toms eloquence against them. / guess
if he were banished from the socie-
ty of girls for awhile he would know
better how to appreciate them. And

your disposal, and I expect the waste

An Old Story of Editorial Difficulties.
Harnett Co., n. G.

The troubles of an editor are
many. Besides the difficulties inner
ent in making up his paper satisfac-
torily, he often has to live up to
reputation for limitless knowledge.
For many people he is an oracle, and
the column headed 'FNotes and Que
ries," or something similar, is his
mouthpiece. A Philadelphia paper
received a communication bearing
pertinently on this matter. It ran
as follows:
Dear Editor: Will you kindly in
form me by return mail what num-
Der of seeds are contained in a sew
enty-three- to seventy-fve-pound
pumpkin, as wish to settle an argu-
ment ?''
A Western parallel to this request
lies in an unhappy experience of an
editor who one morning received two
letters from subscribers. The first,
an anxious father, wrote to find out
the best way to bring up his twin
babies in health and happiness, while
the other, farmer, wanted to know
the quickest method of getting rid
of grasshoppers.
The editor hesitated; then, out of
the fulness of his knowledge, he
wrote two letters in reply. But in
the haste of business he put the let
ters into the wrong enevolpes.
The next morning the father of the
twins received this interesting an
swer:
"Cover them carefully with straw
and set fire to it.. After jumping In
the flames a few moments the little
pests will be speedily done for"
And the man who was troubled
with grasshoppers was bidden to
'fGive castor-oil regularly in moder-
ate doses and rub their gums with
bone e"-Youth's Companion.

/ suppose they will talk nonsense if
they find that nonsense is expected.
Sometime ago we were all request
ed to write of our various homes.
There is nothing very grand or beau
tiful near my home except the Chow
an River. / wish all the Chatterers
could see that. You can stand on
the beach at Coleraine and look down
the river until the rounding of earth
carries it out of sight. Across it is
said to be four miles. Imagine your
selves standing on the shore and
viewing this sheet of water, calm and
still, almost blue in color, with not
a ripple on its bosom. As you look
the surface changes. A delicate
culver is seen approaching from
down the river, and in few moments
it reaches the beach at your feet.
Then stronger and stronger come the
waves, and almost before you can
realize the change, the pillows are
breaking into foam and spray, and
lashing the shore in fury. A most
beautiful sight is a bevy of young
converts led out into it's waters, and
buried with Christ beneath its limpid
waves. / have seen several baptiz-
ings there and once the rain was
falling. Never did I behold fairer
scene.
/ see a long article in The Farmer,
by DR.. Alexander, on superstition.
But he leaves the subject about the
same as when he commenced ;
brought us to agnosticism and
stopped. Now a wise man should
not treat his readers thus. We are
not satisfied with saying "I do not
know" so he should have told us
whether, in his opinion, there are
such things as ghosts, and if he be-
ieves there is any efficacy in the left
hind foot of a graveyard rabbit. /
remember once having a small pu-
pill, vino brought a veritable rabbits
foot in her hand every time she came
to recite. However, the charm work
ed backward in her case, for she in
van iably missed her lesson.
What do the Chatterers think OF
ghosts, dreams, fortune-telling, hoo
dooism, and signs and charms, any
way?
Much success to Social Chat and
all it's contributors.
