CINE which demolished his buggy,
throwing Mr.. williams out upon the

THE SMOKE NUISANCE.
The deadly effects Of the poisonous
smelter smoke has manifested Itself
so plainly this season as to leave 10
doubt In the mind Of any reasonable
person that something should be Done
to take care OF the same and thereby
protect the interest of the whole cOun-
try, In the last two weeks of damp
weather the leaves on the trees have
changed their color as though they had
been sinRed by a flame. II is quite i'm
portant to note the vast extent OF the
district which Is affected this season,
compared to the previous years. In
past years III has only Objected those IN
the locality of the shelters, but this
year II extends as far north as Elev-
enth South and from there Il extends
over the whole of the county south
The smelters have been enlarging their
capacity OF late and every new rooster
which is operated Increases the volume
of poisonous smoke. In some places
the pears and apples hang on the trees
bare and alone, while the leaves have
been singed by the smoke until they
have fallen on. The farmers Of the
whole county demand that something
should be done to protect them from
this nuisance The shelters are well
come. but with their prosperity they
should look after the protection Of the
vegetation Of the country contiguous to
them. The farmers IN the district
which is affected most can hardly dis
pose of their produce, especially their
hay.
