THE DESTRUCTIVE MANIA.

lib UESIkttIlNE MANIA.
The esteemed News and Observer
deyotes two columns in the Thursday
issue 20 painting a picture of the mag
nificent city that Durham would be
and the immense prosperity that
would oyertake other North Carolina
cities if the American Tobacco CON-
pany was destroyed and the business
Of tobacco manufacturing would re-
vert TO the small factories conducted
by single individuals.
If the theories OF the News and OBJ
server were carried out Durham would
in short time be little more than the
wayside water tank that 1t was not 50
many years ago. The world business
that is conducted in products OF North
Carolina tobacco factories could no
more be conducted without the elfs~i
cient organization Of the American
Tobacco company than the Southern
railway could be conducted II private
individuals owned and attempted to
operate small stretches Of track
throughout the state. Large corpora
tons are as much necessity In mod
ern business as the telephones. tele-
graphs and a hundred other modern
inventions are 70 modern life. To
talk Of doing away with large corpora.
tons is the height Of folly. The best
that even the socialist can do Is 10
advocate government ownership OF
these corporations.
The American Tobacco company Is
not the business Of d. L. Duke or D.
\. Duke. or George W. Watts. as the
News and Observer implies. but It is
an association Of hundreds Of men
who manufacture a large part 81 The
tobacco consumed by the world. By
reason Of this association the BUSH
ness can be conducted in a manner
that results not only to the advantage
81 those engaged In the tobacco busI-
ness, but which results In an economic
saving to the entire country. Break

Colonel Dobson was making his
usual daily tour of his preserves, in
specting the gardens, both flower and
vegetable, and had now come to the
livestock. AS far as the eye could
see everything in the stables and the
barns was in ship-shape order, and
the colonel was somewhat inclined
to compliment Rastus on the general
condition of matters in his charge,
but decided to withhold final COM
mendation until the chicken-coop had
been inspected. And here 1t was that
the only noticeable shortcoming vas
to be found. careful count of The
spring broilers showed that there was
one missing. The brood had Matched
out some time before Just 13 little
chicks, and they had safely reached
the point where the colonels mouth
watered in anticipation of their i'm
mediate service upon his table Three
careful counts demonstrated beyond
all question that their number had
been reduced by one. Twelve broilers
and no more were there, and the COL

SWIFT PosTMEN OF VENICE
They Are Clever In Dodglne the
Canals and Know Every Street
In City.

Probably the letter carriers of Ven
ice are the most ingenious in the
world. They know how to dodge
every waterway, turning up on their
routes with precise regularity that
convinces you they have mapped
every scrap Of the damp citys dry
land on their brains. If you go to
your destination by gondola they can
beat you thereto by q good bit OF
time. What they know about canals
has been applied by them to naviga-
ton on land and they know every
tiny street in the city.

When Genius Becomes Insanity.

Where my eugenic friend goes
wrong is in failing to realize that a
great many of the maladies which he
calls degeneracy are Just too much Of
the highly developed nervous system
which is the special endowment OF the
gifted families, writes j. A. Spangler
In Westminster Gazette.
Overcharge the battery ever so lit
tie and genius becomes insanity; give
one member of the family volt too
much and the delicate balance of phys
lcal and mental qualities on which
sanity depends Is broken down. Ex-
tinguish the family and you will rid
the world of some degeneration. but
you will also and at the same time
rob 1t of some of it's most gifted
men.
The doctrine of heredity should
never be forgotten by parents or re-
membered by children. To the first
it is the assertion of their responsible.
ity; to the second reminder Of their
helplessness.

Two Sets Of Muscles.

You have two sets of muscles. the
outer ones. which you can feel and
the iner ones. which are your lungs.
heart. stomach and other internal or
gans. The outer ones are conveniences
for performing actions. The inner
ones are your life-the fate which
makes you happy or depressed, pow
erful or weak. useful or the contrary.
These inner muscles require training.
just like any other muscles. by intel
ligently directed exercise.--National
