The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1903-01-29

1t is a great scheme-that of the
cigarette manufacturers-to give
presents to those who will bring to
them a certain number of wrappers
of cigarette packages. You can get
a piano for 900 wrappers. A
little calculation will show you that
it will be necessary to smoke 400,
900 cigarettes in order to get the
required number of wrappers. If
the "best" are used they will cost
IS cents for two packs, and you will
spe1d IS, 900 to get that piano, and
the chances are that you will need
harp more than piano when you
get through with those 400, ,ooc
cigarettes.

would have the same advantage under
the proposed arrangement that they
have now. Party lines are lost sight
of when home men are nominated,
and their large vote gives them de-
cded advantage and secures them
more than their just proportion Of the
Offices. In this county today the coal
regions have the sheriff, mine inspector
county treasurer, prothonotary, two
members of the legislature, two CON-
missioners and two auditors, about
equally divided politically. Shamokin
would gain the county seat and would
have to pay for it In the way of in
creased taxation"
The Mt. Carmel Item finds con.
stitutional objections, and thinks there
is not sufficient territory in the old
counties to make three counties of
proper size and proportion. The Item
says:
"Since the growth of the new
county idea there has been consider
able discussion concerning the project.
With view of getting a clear idea Of
the matter from all sides it has been
decided to look up the constitution
covering the case. The exact word
ing OF the constitution on the subject
of new counties is found IN Article
XIII, Section l, and is as follows:
"No new county shall be established
woich shall reduce any county to less
than four hundred square miles, or to
less than twenty thousand inhabitants;
nor shall any county be formed of less
area, or containing less population;
nor shall the line thereof pass within
ten miles Of the county seat of any
county proposed to be divided"
Northumberland and c o u m b a
counties have a combined area of
about $50 square miles. 1t is there
fore obvious that according to the ex-
press provision of the constitution no
new county having 400 square miles
could be formed out of these TWO,
leaving the original counties within
the constitutional limit. The only
way to get around this difficulty would
be to take a part of Schuylkill county,
but the citizens of that county don't
seem to enthuse over the proposition.
Another point has been made and
seems to be very we'll taken. The act
ual value of the land in Conyngham
township decreases every year. 1t is
valuable only for Its mineral wealth,
and the depletion of that wealth in
evitably reduces its value. This must
naturally continue until the coal is
exhausted. In the meantime there is
no guarantee that the townships ex-
penses will decrease, on the con-
trary, they are tolerably certain to go
the other way. When new territory
is taken on by county the expenses
from that section are compared with
its income, and this is where Conyng-
ham would fall short. 1t will blast
many fond hopes but the new county
project, viewed from all sides, looks
| like dead one"

PARKER.

A dastardly piece of hoodlumism was
perpetrated in our town last Tuesday
night. An old gentleman was severely
injured and the town was torn to pieces
in general and after doing all the devil
ment they could they took the big
path of the walk. The first person to
come along was Mr.. Jas. H. Mason an
old gentleman of about 20 years who
ran against the wheel and fell over it.
He was taken home by some of his
neighbOrs and it was feared ut first that
he had sustained serious injuries but he
is now better. However, it will be some
time before he will be able to get around
and possibly never. 1t is one of the
most disgraceful things that has ever
happened in this community.
The Bell Telephone company has been
at work here the last week taking down
the Teton line and putting the wire on
their line. Those who had their
instruments taken out expecting u
strike are having them put IN again.
Those who desired to start a strike have
learned that Parker is the wrong place
at which to begin. If they don't want
to pay the price of a phone let them pass
it up like they would a horse trade.
Stay at home and mind Our own bust
ness and don't try to create strife among
your neighbors.
We ave two steam threshers at work
and will have a horse power outfit in a
few days. 1t is impossible to get help
enough and had it not been for the Jap
labor we would have been in a fix for
laborers this year.
The county commissioners appro-
priated 800 for the road overseer to use
on the river road which the people here
appreciate very much.
The star route mail service between
here and Plano is a disgrace to the
service. They have no protection fol
the mail in wet weather. The mail:
come TO the post Office wet and muddy
i, and the p. m. has to get them dry before
them are fit to put the mail in again.
| The private mail sacks were lost OF
the road with important mail matter il
r them and for this reason some hav,
+ ceased to patronize the Star rout
delivery and it is also a loss tt the post
office.

through the summer and they had a
hole some thirty feet deep with two

into The mountain to show for their

lightning bolts seemed to be directed
at the shaft they. had so recently

cleared and they investigated they
saw that the wall of the shaft had
been scanned and shattered by the
electrical bolts. They descended to
ascertain the results of the bolts and
found the wall nf the shaft opposite
to the lateral tunnels had been riven

Value of French Titles.

The periodical efforts of this or that
Jealous legislator in France to do
something towards abolishing French
titles of nobility have been made to
langu!sh, temporarily, at least. by an
utterance of the Prince de Lucinge.
Faucigny, who says: What prestige
DO titles Of nobility confer in these
days? They are sold, bought, and
often taken. SO they are no longer of
much importance. The names of the
old French families can well dispense
with any handle" So he declares him
self in favor OF the complete suppress.
sion of titles, since. with the abolition
of the genuine ones, all the sham IT,
ties, which threw ridicule on the real
aristocracy, will disappear.
