Aim is ability; purpose is power.
Smoking Microbe Cigarettes.

1T is microbes that give your cigar
cite its flavor" said a chemist. THAT
delicate aroma which you attribute to
your Turkish tobacco is really aroma
of the roasting bodies of millions of
microbes.
Yes, microbes season tobacco" he
went on. when tobacco is harvested
the leaves are heaped up in great piles
and allowed to ferment, and the special
kinds of microbes that participate in
their fermentation determine the to-
baccos taste. Here is the proof:
"A German professor took some
fresh Cuban tobacco, some fresh TURK
ish, some fresh Virginia and some
| fresh Russian. He fermented the
leaves in the usual way, only to the
Russian leaves he applied Turkish mi
crobes that he had bred, to the Vir-
ginia leaves he applied Russian mi
crobes, and so on.
I'm the end, the tobacco being all
Thoroughly cured, the German gathered
some tobacco experts about him and
gave them certain sample cigarettes to
smoke. The result was what he had
expected. The Virginia tobacco cured
with Russian microbes they pro
nounced genuine Russian. and each OF
the other tobaccos was declared indu
tiably to belong to-not it's own land
but the land of it's microbe.
Eyes, microbes give your smoke its
flavor, and with tiny vial of them
can change a ton of mild Virginia intS
the most pungent and aromatic Turk
| ish."

A GroUing Newspaper.

With the revival of business in Hat
tiesburg and the Hattiesburg district,
the Daily News has been materially i'm
proved. New features have been ad-
ed from day to day and the. editorial
force has redoubled its efforts to give
the citizens of this community a pub
location second to none in the State.
The result has been most graft
flying.
In fact the circulation of the Daily
News has almost doubled in less than
six weeks, a record that is without a
parallel in the history of Mississippi
Journalism. Hundreds of these new
subscribers have come to us unsoli
cited, which is all the more crafty.
ing and the fact that numbers of volun
tary subscriptions have been received
from the smaller tomns tributary tc
the city indicates that the popularity
of the paper is not confined to Hat
tiesburg alone.
The Daily News can now assert with
out fear of contradiction that it goes
each afternoon into more homes in the
Hattiesburg district than any other
two newspapers combined.
This is of little interest to subscrib
ers, but it means much to advertisers
who desire to reach the buying public
in this territory. To these the books
of the office are open and we guaran
tee to them larger daily circulation
than any other publication in South
Mississippi, else we will carry theil
advertising without charge.

FINED FOR USING
WATER BY BUCKET
FROM TOWN PUMP

Brookport, April 29.-(Special.)
-Brookport is all agog over her new
water works system, and yesterday
morning John Whitehouse was fined
for carrying a bucket of water from
the public hydrant. When the sys-
TEN was installed one main only was
laid, and citizens living off the main
street have to run private pipes in
order to secure the water. This
caused the first dissatisfaction, but a
public hydrant was established near
the center of the town. Anyone may
drink as much of the water as his
thirst requires, but let him carry a
bucket of water away from the
.hydrant and the city marshal secures
a warrant. The city council passed
the ordinance several weeks ago fin
ing the fine from 50 to IS, but the
first conviction came yesterday, and
many citizens are up in arms.
The doctors have declared the
water In private wells was unfit for
use and a doctor advised Whitehouse
to get n bucket of water from the
public hydrant for a patient, but the
city Judge assessed a fine for the
violation of the ordinance. Some OF
the citizens threaten to carry II to a
higher court.

Big TOBACCO CROP
PRESENT OUTLOOK
In THIS SECTION

Tobacco plants are more plentiful
and farther advanced considering the
season than at any time in the history
of the "blaek patch" and prepara-
lions are being made for the biggest
crop of tobacco ever raised, according
to reports of farmers from all sec
lions who were at Murray Monday
and almost every section was repre-
scented. II is said that many OF the
plants are now ready to be trans
planted and the farmers are prepan.
ing their tobacco land before fallow-
ing their land for corn, which Is al
most an unheard of thing.
Those who understand the situa-
ton know that the question of plants
is most important to the tobacco
grower and although his crop is in
danger of disaster from the time 1t is
planted until the crop is housed and
sold it is usually conceded that when
lplants are plentiful early In the sea-
son a bi crop may be expected.
| so far but few cases of plant bed
scraping have been reported and a
majority of those are the outcome Of
personal spite.
