The Mariana Times-Courier is
getting quite on the right tack when
it states: I'VE once thought Jack
son county entitled to more repre-
sentatiyes in the Legislature, but
since noting the census reports of
the several counties in the state find
the apportionment of senators and
representative is not so bad after all.
In nearly all the larger counties,
Jackson included in the number,
there is a larger negro than white
population, and we do not believe a
county is entitled to any increase in
matters legislative on account of her
negro population. We would, of
course, like to have a larger delega-
ton 10 our law-making body at ITALIA
hassee, but if we are to get it solely
on account of our colored population,
we do not want it. Our opinion ir
the matter may be adverse tor'
of our citizens, but we are hon
1t and believe we are right"

There are three ways used by tar
mers for curing and preparing their
tobacco for the market; namely, sun
cured, air cured and 1ue cured. The
old and cheap way is called air cured;
the later discovery and improved way
is called fue cured. In Hue-curing
the tobacco is taken from the field
and suspended over intensely hot
fues in houses especially built to re-
tain the heat, and there kept in the
proper temperature until this curing
process DEVELOPS in the tobacco the
stimulating taste and fragrant aroma
found in Schnapps tobacco, just as
green coffee is made fragrant and
Stimulating by the roasting process.
Only choice selections of this ripe,
juicy fue cured leaf, grown in the
famous Piedmont country, where the
best tobacco grows, are used in
Schnapps and other Reynolds brands
of high grade, hue cured tobaccos,

TURNED THE JOKE.
The Way a Bridegroom Got the Laugh
on His dummy" chum.

1
on His Funny" Chum.
Under the thin disguise of harmless
fun many an objectionable rude prank
Is played upon newly married couples.
1t is refreshing to hear Of an occasion
al instance in which the Joke" reacts
on the joker. A young man and his
bride, who had just been married in a
western town, were starting on their
wedding journey. They had managed
to reach the train in safety despite the
showers of rice and old shoes.
Just as they had taken their seats in
the car one of the bridegroom's chums
came hastily in to bid him goodby. As
the young husband extended his hand
the friend snapped a handcuff round
his wrist.
The groom had been suspeeting a
trick of some kind, and before the
practical joker could play similar
trick on the bride he found the other
handcuff snapped round his own wrist.
He was chained to the happy bride
groom himself.
That's a good one on me, Harry"
he said, with a sickly kind of smile,
"but I'll have to ask you to come to the
door with me and get the key to these
things from the fellow outside that's
got it. Hold on, conductor, just min
utep'
But the conductor, whose quick eye
had taken in the situation, refused to
wait. He gave the order for starting,
and the train pulled out. 1t was
through train and made no stop for
the next fifty miles. Before it stopped,
however, the brakeman, with the aid
of a sharp file and hammer, succeed
ed in releasing Harry. The practical
joker meanwhile had had to pay full
fare for the fifty miles and still had
his fare home to pay.

Fue Curing Develops the Stimulating Aroma and Taste
Found In schnapps that Satisfies tobacco Hunger

Hundreds of imitation brands are
on sale that look like Schnapps; the
outside of the imitation plugs of to-
bacco is fue cured, but the inside is
filled with cheap, fimsy, heavily
sweetened air cured tobacco; one
chew of Schnapps will satisfy tobacco
hunger longer than two chews of
such tobacco.
Expert tests prove that this Aue
cured tobacco, grown in the famous
Piedmont region, requires and takes
less sweetening than any other kind,
and has a wholesome, stimulating,
satisfying effect on chewers. If the
kind of tobacco you are chewing don't
satisfy, more than the mere habit of
expectorating, stop fooling yourself
and chew Schnapps tobacco.
Schnapps is like the tobacco chew
ers formerly bought costing from 75c.
to 81 90 per pound; Schnapps is sold
at soc. per pound in SC. cuts, strictly
10 and IS cent plugs.

In FLUCTUATIONS.
Attempt Of Some Energy WSs Made 10
Advance Prices But Met with
Poor Response and was
Abandoned.

New York, May s.--The indecisive tone of
the stock market was reflected today In the
irregular fluctuations of prices. An at
tempt of some energy was made to advance
prices but II met with poor response and
was abandoned The reaction showed some
addftional force from the fact Of the pre-
ceding advance Evidently the reports of
poor crop conditions weigh on the market
and leave small inducements TO enter on
large commitments until the actual condi-
lions OF the wheat crop are more clearly
understood.
Industrious efforts were made to soothe
apprehension Of crop damage In connection
with the early effort today to lift prices of
stocks, The likelihood of exaggeration in
statements made for speculative effect on
fidence professed that the monthly govern
ment report next Friday would prove a
much less discouraging document than cur
rent market reports indicate.
The effect of these statements was help
ed by the initial decline in the prices of
wheat, when trading began in that COM
wheat proved too much for the eQuanimity
of stock traders and they reversed their
earlier position.
Union Pacific was an important factor
on the course of the whole market as for
some time past. This stock was affected
by reports OF new steps in the government
activities against the Hartman combination
of railroads. News and rumors from Wash
ington were given a good deal of renewed
attention in the days market. Further
measures in the governments prosecution
OF the Standard Oil Company were report
ed to be at hand and 1t was rumored that

The keenness of the Paris competition for
