The Cigarette Evil.

In a recent discourse on various
evils, Rev. J. t. Massee, pastor of the
Baptist Tabernacle in Raleigh, said
this about the cigarette evil:
OF the cigarette it may be truly said
that the youth Of the present generation
has no more dangerous foe, and the habit
is almost universal. Almost every boy
one meets is a smoker; and it's power
over its victim is almost absolute 1t is
almost incredible that so much harm can
be wrapped up in small roll OF paper
with taste OF arsenic upon it's edges
and filled with pinch of tobacco. But
its physical ear-marks upon the human
body are yellow fingers, bloated eyelids,
peculiar yellOw-green complexion. un-
steady nerves, and an ultimate cough af-
fecting the lungs and insuring a tobacco
heart The mental and moral results
are loss OF memory, loss Of willpower
loss OF resolution, the failure to make
proper moral Determinations, the con-
stant weakening OF moral character, loss
OF moral standing and ultimate complete
moral slavery.
What is needed is more education and
more agitation about the evils of the
characterization in our schools of a
scientific sort. and in our homes and
churches of a social and moral sort-agi-
tation everywhere-in the homes, at
school, at church, in social circles, i'm
every public institution and in every
legislative hall in our land Talk il
cheap, but the right kind of talk from the
right folks is effective And the mothers
wives and sisters are the right ones to
talk On these subjects and to demand
that their talk be heard.

State Pride.
Greensboro Industrial News.


We cannot commend too highly tLp
able plea for greater State pride
made by President Rubt. ". Winston
OF the State Literary and Historical
Association at its meeting in Raleinh
Tuesday night and produced in our
issue OF Yesterday.
AS Judge Winston SAYS, "Our State
Is long on patriotism and freedom
and short on methodicaI habits and
attention to details" and much in
formation has been lost forever.
which would today be considered
Priceless
TO rely solely on the elories of the
past and be forever recOuntinw what
we have done is entirel Y differeut from
giving to our local and State history
the Importance it deserves.
For generations we North Carolin-
ians have been doers rather than
writer's and have allowed the name
and fame of our old mother State to
take care OF themselves. content with
ourselves, knowing that we were do
Ing nothing to disgrace her.
Paul Revere won deathless name
and fame, and while We have no dis
position to do augEt but praise him,
we do say that Il thousand deeds as
brave as his have been done and for
gotten i'll North Carolina. simply be-
cause our LongFellows had no public
waiting for their deathless words.
1t is all well enough to talk of great
writer's finding an audience for them
selves, but country does not pro-
duce great writer's which has not
among its people II love for their
work
The State Literary and Historical
Association has Il great work before
it and it is almost with shame that
we repeat the fact stated bv Judge
Winston that it has only two hun
dred and forty active members. Ten
times that number would be all too
few and we urge all loyal North Car
olinians to give it their active sup
port.

Local Reciprocity, Business and
Social.
New Berne Journal.

New Berne Journal
Reciprocity between nations is very
often held to be the great panacea of
its commercial sides and unites cOun-
tries for peace and trade interests,
and proves bulwark against pos
sible International complications
which might lead to war and blood
shed.
If reciprocity is so important and
beneficial between nations, what
must be said in it's favor when given
local application in a community,
when neighbors join interest to as
sist each other and promote good
feelings, commercially and socially.
II there is one certain means to give
development and establish local
stability in trade, it is through recip-
rocal efforts of every citizen to trade
with the home merchant and for
merchant and citizen to work tOgeth-
er to promote and build up local
enterprises.
In no particular, usually is the
lack of reciprocity SO evident, as is
that shown towards the local news
paper. Here is an enterprise, an in
stitution, which stands for every
community's interest, gives free help
to local enterprises, bears the brunt
and fights every outside attack made
upon its people, and this without
any recompense. And yet in every
community there are citizens who
accept it's newspapers favors in way
OF local protection, and never adver-
tise in its columns, or subscribe for
its issues. But if one of the friends
OF such men die, or a relative gets in
the police court, or a social function
is given, there is the favor to be
asked of the loca! newspaper, to sup
press the evil, exalt the dead, glorify
the living. Such people are like the
citizen who pays no taxes, but is the
first to call out loudest for police
protection, and abuse the officer
who does not come to his help on the
run
1t is this mutual help from every
side that builds up every line of trade
in a community. 1t is the same in
religious matters, where the question
is not asked as to being a brothers
keeper. but going unsolicited when
the neighbor needs help. Society is
not given its true value unless there
be the joint effort OF the entire circle
to assist, and thus it is on every side
in community, the urgent need for
reciprocity, the kind which is unself-
ish, which is willing to give and
share, instead of standing aside wait
ing for the chance to get the better
OF some neighbor who may be in
trouble, and cannot protect himself
