Blood acts like a fuel Pumped

his bed room shortly after the report
of the gun came to their ears.
Mr.. Beckett was splendid citizen

the Orangeburg neighborhood. Because
of his continued illness, he sold the
farm and purchased home in the vii
lage of Orangeburg where he has been
living since that time.
He is survived by his wife, two
daughters, Mrs. Ira Hopper and Mrs.
John Hopper as well as three sons,
Messrs. Forest, Thomas and Henry
Beckett. The arrangements for the fu-
neral have not as yet been made.

Cigarettes Lead In Expansion Showing
Large Gain Over Last Years Pro-
ductlOn-Figures Encouraging.

The Tobacco manufacturing indus
try of the United States, judged by the
statistics representing the production
in the various lines. for the first month
of the current year, is in a fiourishing
condition at the present time. Every
branch of the industry shows an in
crease in output compared with the
corresponding month last year, with
the single exception of small cigars,
and the Governments collections from
the sale of revenue stamps were ex-
ceeded but twice previously last Octo-
ber and November respectively. Gig
arettes continue to lead the industry
in output and the January record in
dicates that production tends steadily
upward. The internal revenue coIlec-
tions during January from cigarette
sources constituted nearly half the to-
tai amount collected from all sources
and exceeded the revenue from large
cigars and manufactured tobacco. The
prediction is freely made in tobacco
circles that production in all lines Will
continue to mount during 1920, which
is confidently expected to be a banner

revenue from all sources on tobacco
products in the United States during
the month of January, 1920, was $24,-
