TIE NEW MUNICIPAL ECONOMY.
Tho L~vnchourE Advance says:

Our future idea OF economy VIII be
the kind that our more progressive
business men have already realized
that real economy is in SO LOOKING
after the cost sheet as to do away with
every item of expense possible for the
purpose of spending largely on I'M
provements that Will greatly increase
the service 10 the people"
Our present ideh of municipal econ
only is 10 do things on a small scale
or not do them at all-not to spend
money for any other purposes or in
any other ways than have existed here
tofore.
The .Advance is right about II. The
new cconom demands satisfaction for
ali OF the people. and not for a few
Observation-Disclosures that the luxury
and comfort OF the occupant of the
snug oFic.al berth be sacrificed for the
better estate of the plain citizens.
.Abolition OF the fec system is an es-
scntial part of the scheme for NUM-
cipal economy. We cannot economize
until we have ceased to be spendthrift
in the ordering OF our city offices.

SIT have never heard of such

recently written by a North Carolina

When there is such an inequality in
charges in two adjoining States buyers
of Virginia lands are amazed at what
we call recording and they term regis
tration fees.
According to Virginia laws, the
above charges appear to be correct,
but should not the next Legislature
make them more In accordance with
the reasonable charges of the enlight-
cned State of North Carolina and give
in our State?
Hundreds of North Carolina farmers
have located in this county, Mccklcn-

they place their deeds on record arc
astonished at the fees demanded. some

WOMEN SMOKERS.

How many women In the United
States smoke? a New York cigarette
manufactures Is of opinion that no
less thar 100000 American women
smoke cigarettes, hasing his estimate
on the consumption of special brands.
The "lady siac.'' anyway, was consumed
10 the amount OF 500. 100000 last year.
II 10000 women smoked that many
they used $50 cigarettes each in the
course Of = gear or less than one
tack the day.
Ii is apparent, OF course, that any
ora who averages less thar ono cigar
cite me nay IL not a Very enthusiastic
Ten a daY Is a reasonable
amour, for the average cigarette
User. TWO million women smoking at
nat ra,e would consume 7~.3oo,Qoo,ooo
cirzret;es in q year, or practically
a:;4su times the quantity on which the
manufacturer based his estimate.
The total consumption of manufac-
tu!ed cigarettes in the United States
IL. 1919 was only 7,s75,OOo. 900. and If
:. we're doubled by those who make
the!E own cigarettes. we should have
on!y 100000 cigarette smokers, men
and women. on the average of ten a
d.: consumption.
Oni:' ordinary observation is needed
to retute the 10000 oo estimate. There
are not more than 10000, 900 women in
the country above sixteen years OF
age. Does one in ten smoke? Common
sense tells US tina the proportion Is
10 hing like that. and that only a very
small per cent. of women use tobacco
