ITO cigarette smoking by boys is
attributed by high medical expert

Headaches, bad memory, slow
ness of thought, dyspepsia, poor
blood, short breath, pains in the
heart and bad temper are among the
pleasant consequences officially at
tributed to the cigarette habit. It
may be added unohcially from gen
eral experience that the paper burn

1t might with equal propriety be
referred to the thousands of young
men all over the country who are
addicted to the cigarette habit.
There is as much reason for making
war Oh cigarettes as there is for
fighting whiskey, if not more, for
whiskey has some good uses to

not heard even the cirgarette 1end

Under the new license ordinance
the horse and mule dealers no
come here from Kentucky and
other places have to pay a license
to do business just as our own citl-
zens have been doing all along.
Heretofore these traders, while they
NAV have done as much business as
our local men, paid no tax at
all. When you come to look at it
the ordinance is alright.

pay $1,000 for water and lights tor
the streets and besides the price TO
the Individual consumer Is higher
than most towns and cities OF similar
size. In Greenwood, the individual
consumer pays ~! cents per
Thousand gallons for water aud N
tie same proportion !or lights while
we pay 50 cents per thousand gal
ions for water. In Greenwood the
city does not have to pay Tor water
or lights. The plant is owned by
the city just as ours is, but the
water and lights to individual con
sumers pay running expenses and
at about half the rate we pay. and
yet the town here pays S5,o 900 per
year, and in addition it costs about
81, 900 for kerosene lights. We
suggest that this committee advise
the people of the cost of operating
the plant here and why it should
be SO much more than in other
places.
The Herald and News is glad
that something has happened which
has gotten the business men TO-
eether. We have heen trying ior
long time to get them together,
but with little result. When you
touch the pocket YOU touch the
main spring OF action. So we look
for good to come out of al. of this
and there is no necessity for any
one to lose his temper. The people
have right to assemble to petition
for a redress OF grievances. real or
imaginary, and to call upon their
servants, the officials, for a state,
ment of the financial condition Of
the city and this can be done with
out the slightest intimation Of re-
Election upon any one. A public
officer should at all times be ready
for the fullest investigation, and we
have no doubt this is true of the
officials of this city, so let US all
keep in a good humor, and call
down to see the city treasurer and
put up the coin for the amount ct
the license fixed in the ordinance.

dinance recently adopted by coun-
Gil. We did not know that council
was considering such action until
the ordinance was adopted. We
understand that nearly all the cities
and towns of this State have some
sort. of a license ordinance, and that
the city attorney, in the prepara-
ton of the ordinance adopted by
council had several Of the ordl-
nances of these other towns and
cities before him for comparison,
and that the license charges in the
Newberry ordinance are much
lower than in most towns.
When the ordinance was pub
lisbed q number of citizens lnne-
diately began to protest. Soon q
petition was circulated calling a
citizens meeting to consider the
ordinance. The constitution of the
State guarantees ''the right OF the
people peaceably to assemble and to
petition the government Or any de-
partment thereof for a redress OF
grievances" No one questions
that right
The citizens meeting was largely
attended. The action of this meet
ing is given in detail in another
column.
We do not see much need OF
these citizens meetings, for we are
sure chat council would be glad to
listen to any complaints or to make
any amendments to the ordinance
which may be just and proper.
That there are Inequalities in this
particular ordinance is true, and
there will be after the citizens are
heard, as there have been in all
systems ard plans of assessment and
taxation since government was or
eanized and taxes laid and will be
until human society reaches a much
higher plane than it is on at
present.
It looks to US, for instance, that
if the license is to be laid in pro-
portion to the business done or the
capital stock that it is not exactly
eouite',le that an institution with a
capital ofs5o, 900 shonld be charged
$50, while another institution with
$500, 900 capital should be charged
only 500. Then a real estate agent
who may sell only one piece OF
property in twelve months has to
pay as much as lawyers who may
do practice Of $4,000 a year and
sell all the real estate they please
and make transfers.
But these defects, if they are de-
fects, can be remedied from time to
time and we are now inclined to
think the license ordinance IS the
proper way to raise some revenue
rather than increase the levy which
would be necessary, because an IN
crease of the levy would fall on the
business men who had property
while it would let others who had
no property come in here and trans
act business and take money away
from the town and leave none here.
It is necessary to have more money
and a license tax is preferable to an
increase of the levy. In fact the
lew cannot be increased as 1t is
ND to the limit, though two years
ago it was fixed above the limit ana
no one protested.
There are those who think 1t will

An Afflicted Family.

Much interest has been felt nd SYM
pathy expressed by the community for
the family of Mr. G.. r. Moore, who
lives near this city, on the road leading
TO Spring Hill, on the opposite side of
the road from Mr.. e. G. Vfncent's.
Mr. Moore had a family of eight per-
SONS, himself, wife and six children.
There was also employed about the
Weeks ago one of the children, boy,
fell sick and soon developed typhoid
fever. The source was at once traced
to q well which is IN low ground and
which had been flooded by recent
heavy rain. One by one the family
was attacked, until the father, mother
and five of the children and the colored
girl were down with it. Mr.. Vincent
had kindly taken three of the children
to his house at the first appearance of
the disease, hoping they would escape,
but with one exception fever develop
ed in them and they had to be returned
to the house. The house was stripped
of carpets and hangings, trained nurses
were empl Dyed, kind neighbors came,
the best OF physicians procured and
all has been done that could be sug
gested. Oh Tuesday OF last week the
cOlOred girl died, and on Saturday last
hope had abOut been abandoned of the
father, mother and youngest child, but
on Sunday there was a slight change
for the better as to the three and at
this writing they are all reported better.
On Sunday evening Ernest Moore,
Esq, Sheriff Of PocahOntas Co., w.
Va, a brother, arrived, the next day
Judge &. L. Moore, prominent at
tOrney of New York, another brother,
arrived, and their presence seemed to
inspire fresh hopes in the older per-
SONS and renewed efforts on the part
of physicians apd nurses. Mr.. Moore
has lived at his present home about 10
years. Whilst he has had sickness in
| his family before, it, has not been the
result of any local cause, this being
! the first affection to arise from any
such source. 1t is now hoped the fam
lily may recover, and as sometimes
| happens in cases Of fever, that they
may be more strong and robust after
than before. The family moved here
from Pocah0ntas Co., W. Va, and are
widely and highly connected there.
