Announcement.

| hereby announce myself as candi-
the Legislature from Barber county,
subject to the will and pleasure Of the
Barber County Democratic convention.
AS no man ought to ask the support of
the people until he has first declared
his position on questions interesting the
taxpayers. 1 will briefly state how 1
would vote if elected to the Legislature:
favor the strlctest economy in every
department OF the state, the same as is
usually practlced by our cities in their
government.
l favor the repeal of our present
county printer law.
l favor changing our election laws so
as to elect county commissioner and
township officers every two years and
at the same time our state and county
officers are elected.
l favor changing the present infa-
nous and unjust ballot law so as to
make it as easy as possible for one to
cast an honest ballot and not at the
same time open the doors to fraud.
favor making it a criminal offense
for member of the Legislature to &C.
cept pass from any railroad company
in the state while serving as such Of
ticer.
favor change in our present tax
laws so as to compel all classes to bear
their just share of the taxes necessary
to carry on the affairs of our state and
county government.
I favor the same kind of Legislation
and the same kind of treatment to-
ward the railroads and other corpora
tions as the farmers, stockmen, mer-
chants and all others receive, that all
may bear their share of the burden of
taxes and no more nor no less.
1 favor the reelection Of Senator
Harris to the u S. Senate, or some
other equally as able statesman outside
of the republican party.
favor special act enabling our
county commissioners to build good
substantial iron bridges where needed
in the county.
I have made this announcement at
the request of number of friends and
if nominated will, during the cam
paign, try and explain why / favor the
legislation above mentioned, but II not
nominated all explanations will be de-
clared out of order. Respectfully,
w. G. Afford.

women, with fangs as black as the tobacco
they bite, and some, we shudder to notice,
chew the betel at intervals during work.
The most Of the cigars are made by the
piece, the best women earning as much as
- per week. while the ordinary girl does
very we'll II she can make 20 cents a day.
In other rooms Of this factory the workers
are men and boys. The women are the most
skillful. and the best of the cigars are made
by them.
Tho Philippine cigars are Of six different
grades, ranging from light brown to almost
black. The tobacco is not so heavy as our
American article. 1t contains less nicotine
and is less stimulating. 1T compares
says an old American smoker, with our
leaf as beer does with whisky. When the
American wants a smoke he wants some
thing he can feel, and / doubt il our people
will ever care to use the mild cigars of the
Philippine Islands,"
The best Philippine tobacco comes from
the Island Of Luzon and the very choicest
from the valley Of the Rio Grande river In
the northeastern end OF that island. The
Rio Grande river is a large stream, navI-
gable for small boats for many miles. Its
valley north and south is over 100 miles
long. with a width Of from five to twenty
miles. TIL river Is subject to annual
Hoods, during which quantities OF rich silt
are brought down from the mountains and
spread over the valley. This fertiliZes II
as the Nile does Egypt and gives II a soil
which can be used for tobacco culture year
after year without other fertilization. There
are four large provinces in this valley, IN
which little else than tobacco and Indian
corn are grown.
In addition to this territory there is O
strip Of land In northwestern LuZon which
has many plantations. The tobacco there Is
not SO good nor is 1t raised in such quaint.

and Mindanao. outside Of Luzon the most o

door to he leading hotel. The building
is one OF three stories, with oyster-shell
windows and with floors which could be
used for making pianos, the wood is so
fine. The factory covers three or four
acres. 1t mas many large rooms, some Of
which are 300 feet long. These rooms are
filled with workmen. The factory employs
5000 hands and the most Of the 5000 are
OF the feminine gender.
We enter the building and walk up the
stairs. The rich smell of the tobacco floats
down, and a titilating dust comes into our
~nostrils. We pass through a wide door and
find ourselves right in the midst of an acre
OF women. About 1000 FilipinOs OF all ages
are sitting about us handling tobacco with
their long yellow fingers. They are dressed
in white and their dark faces shine out
over the snowy handkerchiefs they have
pinned around their shoulders. All wear
decollctte dresses, and those who have
thrown OF their neck covering on account
OF the heat look as II dressed for a ball.
Hero and there a dress has been pulled to
one side and a mahogany shoulder shines
out. III are in their bare feet and we can
see the shapely ankles and the upturned
soles and toes OF those who are working
about us. They are sitting at long tables
not quite a foot high. Some are on stools,
but most have their legs bent under them,
others so sit that their knees rise above
the tables, in what seems to us a most un-
comfortable way.
How "a Cigar IL Made.
They work rapidly. Notice this pretty
maid at the right. She picks up a leaf Of
tobacco from hat pile before her, Sh,
spreads II out upon the table and pound:
IL with a stone TO make II lie fiat. To thi:
leaf she adds another. then another. ant
so on until she has enough for = long blacl
cigar. She now rolls this rapidly aroun,
in her delicate fingers, and Their, putting
II between her pearly white teeth, she bite
OF it's end, kissing the cigar, as II were
before she lays 1t away, That should be
smoke for a king and that is how the girl
make cigars in Manila.

Washington, March 15,-Senator Berry
