JUDGE ROASTS CIGARETTES.
Says They Are Worse Than Whiskey And
Their Sale Should Be Prohibited.

Circuit Judge f, D. Fulkerson
of Batesville, who held Circuit
Court at Conway last week, on
exchange Of circuits with Judge
Lankford, gave the grand jury q
strict charge concerning the new
cigarette law. He said in part:
"Some people think they had
better smoke in this world than in
the next; but the cigarette is to
be eliminated, The cigarette is
worse than whiskey, because the
boys become addicted to the use
of it at such q tender age. When
you see a boy going along the
streets with his fingers and lips
yellow, that boy is on the road to-
ruin; al the starch is taken out
of his backbone, and there is not
enough left to make a good twine
string, and he is absolutely worse,
unless he perchance feforms-he
is worse than if he were dead.
The cigarette leads to the taking
of morphine and cocaine, and
sooner or later, unless it is stop
ped, it means death. Enforce
this law, and if they must smoke,
lot them go back to the time
honored corncob pipe of our
fathers, and the result will be q
better class Of boys in your COM
munity,"
