Vermont Savings for Ver-
mont ENTERPRISES.


The Springfield (Mass.)
Republican, the leading news
paper of central New Eng
land, thus comments on the
policy of the Hyde Park
Savings Bank in keeping its
funds in Vermont:
Vermo nt's industrial development has been
hindeTed not only by emigration of people to
the West but by the westward emigration of
Vermont money for investment. When
therefore large growth is reported of YER
mont Bank like the Lamoille County savings
and trust institution at Hyce Park, which
haze made it rule to invest Vermont savings
in Vermont enterprise, the fact is worth re-
c3rding. Thi1 is in the way of standing by
ones own community and people fret of all,
i'd it is policy to be con mended every
where and particularly IN the bill regions of
New En- gland, so much of whose life has been
| given to the development Of other sections of
he country. The directing force of the La
mo lie Co@nty Bank is ex-Gov. Carroll S.
Page.
This Bank pays 4 per cent
compounded semi-annually on
deposits Of 800 or more re-
naming in the bank one full
year.

South Atlantic States, until they are
ready to act Independently, to give
South Carolina their hearty help.
This immigration question is one in
which there must be unity Of pur-
pose and action. The minute one Sec
tion begins antagonizing another,
then harm will have been done.
Charleston has a tentative line
to Bremen, and agents Of the society
are over there now at work. The
vessel Of the North German line that
brings the immigrants over must
have a cargo back. Now, we want ev-
cry state benefited by the. immigra-
tion to send to the Charleston port
part of that cargo. That need not
hurt the trade of any port of the
other states. On the contrary, it
would become an incentive of the
port towns of the state to work the
harder for state immigration law,
so that the vessels going back could
load at that state port. T say most
emphatically that Carolina is ready
to aid any state in any way it can to
handle its own immigration.

The engineer knew better, but he

Three ways are used by farmers
for curing and preparing their to-
bacco for the market; namely sun
cured, air cured and fue cured.
The old and cheap way is called air
cured; the later discovery and i'm
proved way is called fue cured.
In fue curing the tobacco is taken
from the fields and racked in barns
especially built to retain heat and
there subjected to a continuous high
temperature, produced by the direct
heat of fame heated fues, which
brings out in the tobacco that
stimulating taste and aroma that
expert roasting develops in green
coffee. These similar processes give
to both tobacco and coffee the cheer
ing and stimulating quality that pop
ularizes their use.
The quality Of tobacco depends
much on the curing process and the
kind Of soil that produces it, as ex-
pert tests prove that this hue cured

tobacco, grown in the famous Pied
mont region, requires and takes less
sweetening than tobacco grown in
any other section of the United States
and has a wholesome, stimulating,
juicy, full tobacco taste that satisfies
tobacco hunger. That's why chewers
prefer Schnapps, because Schnapps
cheers more than any other chewing
tobacco, and that's why chewers Of
Schnapps pass the good thing along
--one chewer makes other chewers,
until the fact is established that
there are more chewcrs and more
pounds Of tobacco chewed to the
population in states where Schnapps
tobacco is sold than there are in
those states where Schnapps has not
yet been offered to the trade.

No News i'm the Paper.

The Nevada Mail says frequently
you pick up one Of the local papers,
and after glancing at the headlines
YEARLY, thrust it aside, remarking,
Nothing in the paper today Did
you ever stop to think what the
phrase nothing in the paper to-
day--means? 1t means that in the
day or week just passed that no mis-
fortune has befallen any one in our
city, that no fire has wiped out a
neighbor's worldly goods; that the
grim angel Of death has crossed no
threshold Of a friend; that no man
driven by liquor, hatred or fear
has taken the life Of a fellow-human;
that no poor devil, haunted by the
past or the misdeeds of some other,
has crossed the great divide by his
own hand. So the next time you
pick up a paper that doesn't an
nounce a tragedy, give little thanks
instead Of grunting because there is
no news.

WILT RESISTING COTTON.

TiIIman on Roosevelt.

Senator Tillman was interviewed
recently at Clarksburg, Ohio. He
talked freely on the matter Of Re-
publican Presidential timber. Sena-
tor Tillman said: Il do not believe
that the fact that President Roose-
welt is, on the face Of it, backing
the effort to nominate Secretary
Taft for the Presidency will serve in
any degree to strengthen the chance
Of the Secretary's nomination. In my
opinion, Taft, will hurt his prospects
if he attempts to stand as a stool
pigeon and personal representative
of the President. # he stands as the
representative of Taft rather than of
Roosevelt he will be much stronger
before the people.
Really, however, think that the
President is after the nomination
himself and this present maneuver-
ing is for the purpose Of getting the
situation so tied up that deadlock
will result at the Republican nation
al convention and that the President
hopes and expects that it will STAN
pede to him, nominate him by acc la
nation and hand the nomination to
him on a silver platter with the as.
surance that he is the only man who
can lead the Republican party and
the country out of the wilderness.
The President did not tell me
this, for | never called on him you
know. but this is what think.
''Whom do ! think the Republicans
will nominate for the Presidency?''
"Well, Gov. Hughes will surely get
the New York delegation to the con-
vention. He seems to have made
himself popular in his State. and his
chances of securing the nomination
seem to be better than those Of any
other man now mentioned. With such
q State as New York back Of him, he
will be a power in the convention from
the start.
Senator Tillman declined to ex-
press himself on the Democratic
Presidential nomination further than
TO say that he knew of no Democrat
in South Carolina seeking it.
