Cigarettes Affected His Heart.

A glassworker, who smokes a large
number OF cigarettes every day, caused
some excitement about noon Saturday by
falling apparently dead the sidewalk
near corner Of Main and Fifth streets.
A doctor was called and in a few min
utes the man was able to get into bus
and was taken to National Hotel.
Heart trouble was what caused the man
to drop on the street. The doctor said
the young mans heart was affected from
smoking too many cigarettes. 1t is
very likely the fellow will continue
smoking cigarettes until his life ends
suddenly from the effects OF the habit.

Warning to Boys.

The legislature passed bill, which
was signed by Coy. Pennypacker last
week, making 1t unlawful to shoot
hobert rifles, air and spring guns with
In the limits Of boroughs and cities OF
Pennsylvania. We call attention to
this law to warn the boys OF Reynolds
vile who own Aobert rifles and air guns
30 that they will know that they are
liable to be arrested II they shoot In
the borough, This Is good law and
will likely be enforced because shooting
fiobert rides and air guns on the streets
is very dangerous practice. It is sur
prising that more accidents do not oc-
cur from 1t. About the only pleasure
boys get out Of such guns Is shooting at
little birds, and boys should be taught
not " kill or iniure birds.

Benton McMillin Talks.

Former Governor Benton MoMillin tar. ried in Washington a day and half thii week on his way home from New York Governor McMiiin, during a dozen years membership of the House of Representa- tives, always a popular member of Con gress, Is a welcome visitor whenever he comes to the national capital, especially among Democrats who remember him as an uncompromising fighter Tor the prin- ciples of the party.
 The stafwart Tennesseean appears in excellent health and talks old-fashioned Democratic doctrine as one who has experience. He was much impressed with two political aspects that were strikingly plain among the business men of the great metropolis during the week he spent in New York. One was the absence of any note of commendatton of the Roosevelt administration and the gen. eral disposition to discuss men and meas- ures that would bring about change of administration.
 Mir McMillin interpreted what he saw and heard as a hamburger of Democratic victory in New York next year. contin- gent only upon the adoption of con- servatlve platform and the choice of a ticket to fit the declaration Of principles The New York Democrats and the inde- pendent element as well are looking ex- pectantly to the South to assume a lead ing and salutary share in the proceedlngs of the next national convention. They seem to De pIeaseo aireauy With nI. MnaI they have observed. Southerners visit ing the city have invariably expressed sentiments that commend themselves to the Gotham Democrats and the large ele- ment of independents who appear wholly to distrust the wisdom, if not the sin- cerity. of the Roosevelt administration. The New Workers are pleased to note among Southerners with whom they have come into contact a remarkable unani" mty of fixedness of conviction that the platform should be a declaration made for Democrats and not for any faction that would provoke discord now or that has been identified with creating party dlssension in the past.
 Determined opposition to a protective tr1 sts and monopolies and unsparing con demnation of extravaganza will, in the opinion of the New York Democrats, con stitute what should be declared as briefly and tersely az possible.

with cheese cloth as Sumatra tobacco is in the Connecticut Valley. Yet with all this opportunity the farmers stick to cot ton and see train loads of early vegeta- bles, and berries, start from far down in Texas, coming up by way of New Or leans and right past their doors on the Illinois Central destined for Louisville. Cincinnati and Chicago, while they live on corn bread nd raise cotton.
 Another crop which could, we believe. be profltably introduced in the Yazoo area, back in the Cane Hills and Flats Hills region, is alfalfa. This region Is adjacent to the delta and comprises .140,- 0e0 acres now devoted to the raising of cotton. Here an average of but one third of a bale per acre Is obtained, but the soil Is the same as Southern Mis- souri, Kansas and Nebraska, where such great crops of alfalfa are obtained and experiments at the New Orleans experi- ment station apparently justifies the be- lief that alfalfa can be raised here in equally large quantities.
 Even with ten cent cotton" concluded Mir. Whitney, "I believe the future of the delta and 'Yazoo area lies in alfalfa and stock raising on the poorest lands, truck farming and intensified ag-1culture on the lands of medium quality, leaving only tne two bales land for cotton, and the redemption of ths swamp land as q future possibility"
