TOBACCO AND WEATHER.
pampness Has Unfavorabie Eject an
the Weed In Its Various
Forms.

sDid YOU ever think aboIt the infiu-
ence the weather has on cigars and
| tobacco in its other forms?" asked a
man in cigar stand, relates the New
Orleans Times-Democrat "Aly atten-
tion was called to the matter but Few
minutes ago by customer who came
in to register complaint. lie was
wrathy because the cigars he has
bought for the past few days have not
smoked as well as usual, and he evil
dently thought ! had switched the
brand on him. 1t never occurred to
him that meteorological conditions
might have something to do with the
cigars. 1t happens that / smoked the
same brand the customer generally
buys, and could understand that his
complaint was well grounded.
II explained TO him that the damp
weather which we have experienced
for the past few days was responsible
for the condition of his cigars. You
see, we have had an unusually heavy
rainfall. During such time in this Sec
tion of the country it is impossible to
keep our stock of cigars and tobacco
dry enough. Because of the peculiar
conditvlns here in this respect the
walls of buildings sweat, as we are in
the habit of saying. That is, they be-
come wet and remain in this condition
until the weather breaks-until the
sun comes out to dry the dampness.
How does it affect cigars? They be-
come damp and soft, and have the ap-
pearance of being new, OF green, to
adopt the technique of the trade. They
do not burn well. smoke in an uneven
sort of way, and, as a rule, If / may
judge from my own experience, it is
necessary TO throw one-half of them
away. There is one thing which can
not explain, and that is the change
which takes place in the flavor Of the
cigars. But the flavor is unquestion-
ably changed. Cigars that have a de-
lghtful flavor under ordinary condi-
tions become strong and offensive to
the taste and frequently burn and bis
ter the tongue. That's why it is nee
essary to throw them away before they
are smoked TO the tip. This is what
| the weather does for cigars. To some
extent it has the same influence on
chewing tobacco. es,d not infreqnently
| we have to thzow tobacco away be-
! cause it sours. Customers do not stop
to think about these things as q rule,
and often they VIII quit place because
they think the cigar man is giving them
the worst of it,"

Columbia courier. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1902-1905, 1903-08-14

Chautauqua, N. Y, Aug. 13.-Unique
among all summer gatherings is the
mob conference" now in progress
here. The increase Of mob spirit shown
by feuds. lynchings, riots, assassina-
lions and other lawless happenings
gives great Importance to this confer
ence. Among the speakers was John
Temple Graves Of Atlanta, Ca, who
spoke on the mob spirit of the south"
He defended lynching as remedy for
the crime of rape, holding that though
lynching is crime, it is justified by
the crime which provokes it, and will
never be discontinued until that crime
is eliminated. The remedy for lynch
ing must be the elimination of the
crime of rape, and this, he maintained,
could be done only by the separation
of the two races in the United States.
