Tobacco Prices and the Foreign
Outlook.

GA steadily growing home con-
sumption during the past four years
has increased prices for tobacco and
benefited both the grower and man
ufacturer, while diminishing eX-
ports and affecting the merchant in
juriously," says Tobacco Leaf. The
universal demand has increased sup
plies. and while no single country has
thus far threatened to become rival
to the United States in the production
Of tobacco, yet the aggregate lear
grown in other lands is thrice our
own output, and is increasing more
rapidly than ours. England, France,
Germany, Spain, Austro-Hungary,
italy. Bosnia Herzegovina, Greece,
India, Java, Sumatra, Borneo, Cochin
China, Japan, Canada, Mexico, Bra-
zil. British South Africa and Austria
liza are doing excellent experimental
work. Trade with new and growing
countries, such as Canada, British
South Africa and Australia is grow
ing. steadily, but with the other lands
lit is gradually declining. The chance
in Great Britain is due to fiscal and
economical causes, and is undoubteo
ly temporary But with Belgium,
Germany, Italy and Netherlands it IS
due to higher prices for our leaf and
larger supply of cheap leaf from
other countries. A strong movement
| is at work looking toward the restric-
ton of crops and consequent in
crease in prices. This means larger
profit to the farmer and a greater
cost to the domestic consumer; it also
means an increased cost Of export to-
| baceo and smaller exports from the
United States. The consumer is pow
erless. He must pay what the home
market demands. But the foreigner
is in no such position. He refuses ~
buy American leaf, and fills his ware
| house from other countries. This is
not the only evil. Smokers are crea
lures of habit, and when they are
weaned from one tobacco and in
duced to use another instead they sell
dom go back to their first love when
the opportunity again presents itself. y

Food Drunk.

Mr.. Thomas A. Edison, generally
admitted as penins,'' says that
Americans eat entirely too much. He
also says that we sleep too much. As
to being a genius all Of Us know
that being a "genius'' is the art Of
taking Infinite pains and capacity
for hard work. This Mr.. Edison
knows how to do and what be says is
very true, but the average workman
could hardly live on the few ounces
of food which MI. Edison says be
allows himself.
Intemperance in eating is great
evil no doubt. tPeople eat until they
become stupid.'' says Mr.. Edison
and again he tells the truth. Some
who do this seek relief by using pa
tent ncstrums and get themselves in
far worse shape than ever. The proper
amount of food is an individual pro-
blem, but the man or woman who
goes at the problem in conscientious
way, will bardlv err. 1t is not we'll
to dwell too much on the matter of
food. Too much thinking about ones
physical system is unwise and will
bring about disorders. This is fact
beyond dispute so the person who en-
Joys best health is the one who gives
his time and attention to outside and
better things. This rule, however,
does not mean that we are to eat and
sleep without rule or rote or thought
of what we take in our bodies. Good,
pure wholesome food must be eaten
and at regular intervals and not too
much of it. That seems about as near
the best advice as our best physicians
give us.-Spartanburg Herald,

Prehistoric Giants.

Gigantic skelton of prehistoric indl-
ans nearly eight feet tall, have been
discovered along the banks OF the
Chotank River, Maryland, by en-
plo5ees of the Maryland Academy OF
Science. The remains are at the Aca-
DENY s building, intFrankIin street,
where they are being articulated and
restored by the Academy expert John
Widgeon, colored. They Will be
placed on public exhibition early IN
the fall.
The collection comprises eight skele-
tons, of which some are women ana
children. They are not all complete,
but all the larger bones have been
found. and there is at least one com
plete specimen of an adult man. The
excavations we're in progress for
months, and the discovery is consider
ed one of the most important, from
the standpoint of authropology, in
MARYLAND in a number of years. The
remains are believed to b, at least J.
O3o years old. The formation OF the
ground above snd the location of the
graves give every evidence OF TINS
During the excavations the remains
of camps of later Indians were re-
yea,ed. These consisted of oyster
she'll heaps, charred and burned
earth and fragments of cooking uten-
sils These discoveries were made
fully ten feet above tie graves which
contained the gigantic skeletons.
There have been other discoveries
in MARYLAND of remains of men OF
tremendous stature. A skeleton was
discovered at Ocean-C City several years
ago which measured a fraction over
seven feet six inches. This skeleton
was inferred in a regular burylng
mound, and beads ma ufactured by
white men were founu upon it. This
dead Indian was probably cne Of the
tribe mentioned oy Capt. John
Smith, who, in July, 1868 made a
voyage of exploration OF the CEeas-
peake Bay.

bringing these people to Orangeburg
aud making the return trip IN the
afternoon.

as to the best schedule the railroad
could put on and after much talk the

upon for term of two months. If it
is demonstrated that the majority want

From The Daily Item November 8.
The story Of the exchange OF 5000
for $1ss has been told and retoM with
variations and additions time and

come excited beyond normal conditions
and many things are told as facts that
existed. if at all, in fancy only. Pick
pockets are to be hurried off and sub
iacted to the severest punishment that
the law allows, but the rights Of inno-
cent people are to be guarded most
zealously-
@ one J. NJ. Mathis was on the
ground occupied by the carnival
company this morning, and While
watching fakir plying his trade he
felt some one jostIe up against him.
"A pickpocket must have been the first
thought that entered his head; on
turning around he saw next to him
Mr.. w. P. DuBose, Of Shiloh, whom
he accused OF the crime, and caused
him to be arrested. A warrant was
sworn out. and the defendant was
taken into custody by officers Weeks
and McKagen.
At the preliminary investigation 1t
was brought to light that the pocket
alleged to have been attempted
to pick by Mr.. DuBose contained no
money at an: but on the testimony
of. Mathis and his two brothers, who
claim to have. seen DuBose run his
hand intoathe pocket, feel all around
in it, and lift up the coat Of the
prosecutor. Recorder Hurst stated
that he felt that he should send
the defendant up for trial to the cir
cult court, inasmuch as there was
some evidence to go to the jury.
Mr.. Hurst, however, showed clearly
his belief as to the guilt or innoncence,
of the accused when he fixed the bond
at $500, the smallest amount permit
ted by law. # he had believed the
defendant guilty or even a member
Of the light fingered gentry, the bond
would have undoubtedly been $1,000.
