Worlds Leading Tobacco Town

Following are extracts from an address
delivered by Col. A. D. Watts, collector
of internal revenue for the fifth district
of North Carolina at a smoker given by
the Twin City club. Winston-Salem. Feb.
4, 1916:
winston Salem is supplying one-fourth
Of all the chewing and smoking tobacco
consumed in the United States, besides ex-
porting vast quantities to foreign lands.
This statement is taken from the report
of the commissioner of internal revenue
for the first quarter of the present fiscal
year and from private advices from Wash
ington, as to the second quarter, which
ended Dec. 81, last.
"Your city is making one-seventh of all
tobacco Notwithstanding and smoking
tobacco, cigars, cigarettes, and snuff
manufactured in the United States. Your
manufacturers are paying on an average
about S37, 900 day revenue taxes to the
government and the amount is increasing
from month TO month. When your govern
ment building, much the handsomest in
the state, was completed last July at
cost of $3.50, 900 your newspapers made the
staten that the taxes paid in your city
to Uncle Sam for the first eight days of
its occupancy would pay for it. Since
September, it has taken only a fraction
over seven average days collections here
to equal its cost. So far this week, Mr..
Crawford has taken in 5000, 42S.5O. 1 pre-
dict that before 1916 shall have ended
your weekly average payments to the
government on tobacco will more than
pay for this magnificent building leaving
the collections for the other fifty-one
weeks as clear profit for the government.
"Winston-Salem is shipping on an av-
erage each week day TO all parts of this
country and to foreign lands at least
$4,000 of tobacco products.
"In conclusion, Winston-Salem manu-
features more tobacco, all tobacco prod
ucts are taken into this statement, than
any other city on earth, little or big.

Named After the Saint.

st. George is always turning up Oh
the Danube, from st. GeOrgen, in
Baden, which disputes with Donau-
eschingen the claim to possess the real
source of the river, to the st. Georges
branch, the southernmost mouth at the
delta. Giurgevo is one more of the
places named after the saint. 1t be-
gan as San Zorro or San Giorgio in
the fourteenth century, when it was
founded by the Genoese. In modern
times Giurgevo has twice made his
tory. 1t was the terminus of Rou-
manias first railway, the line from
Bucharest, opened in 1869, and in the
Crimean war it was defended with
stubborn fury by the Turks, costing
the Russians 10000 men to take it.

Counting a Score.

Twenty is called score because it
represents the whole man, ten fingers
and ten toes. Etymologically it means
a cut or mark. In very early times,
when men could not count beyond
twenty, or zone man. it was usual to
cut notch In a stick and begin again,
and so it went on, one man, two men,
and so on. This is why sheep are still
counted by the score. Now, a tally
French taille cut or nickeD means an
account kept by means of notched
stick, and until the end of the eight
zenith century such sticks were given
as exchequer receipts, accompanied by
written document. This was also the
usual way of keeping accounts in the
inns of the middle ages. The number
of drinks or meals customer had
were scored against him on what was
called a tally stick, and when it reach
ed twenty, or a whole man." he was
expected to pay.

it is the best and most healthful ingredient

Phosphate and alum, which are de-
rived from mineral sources, are used in
some baking powders, instead of cream of
tartar, because they are cheaper.
If you have been induced to use baking

use Royal Baking Powder instead. You

Weather and Crops

Harvest weather is what we are hav-
ing most of the time just at present.
There are showers enough and more
threatenings to keep the farmer anx-
ious, but the actual storms have not
amounted to enough to delay harvest
ing very much. 1t is well that it is so.
The wheat crop is large, it is of better
quality on the average than last year,
and it is ripe and ready for the harvest
faster than the limited number of
machines can care for it. There is
scarcely an acre of grain that is not
ready now for the stack, while there
are thousands of acres standing.
For corn, rain would be a very good
thing. In some cases, We have noticed
fields that needed rain badly, but in the
great majority cases corn will be able
to do without rain for some time yet.
