you hear a person talking
about more liquor now than ever
before" just put it down that he Is
either ignorant OF conditions or
that he wants to belittle the pro-
hibition laws and their enforce
ment. Wildcat liquor will kill any
person who continues to use it,
and tho drinking men are quitting
the stuff for good.

Murder and insanity
(Opelfka Newsl

(Opelika News)
Some exchange more than inti-
mates that our supreme court has
lately rendered practically null
and void the plea of insanity as a
defense for murder. We sincerely
hope our exchange is correct.
More red-handed killers of fellow
human beings have escaped the
gallows on that plea than almost
any other.

CIGARETTES INCREASE

More than four times as much to-
bacco was made up into cigarettes In
the United States in the calendar year
1921, as in 1912, according to figures
from the recently published report Of
the Commissioner Of Internal Revenue
The per capita contribution to the
Federal Treasury in internal revenue
taxes from the sale of cigarettes In
1921 was more than nine times that
of 1912, the report shows.
Another feature Of the report is that
while the apparent consumption Of
cigars was little more in 1921 than
nine year previous, the 1921 figures
show that there was considerably less
tobacco used for pipe smoking, chew
ing and snuffing than in 1912. In fact
since 1917, the peak year for tobacco,
snuff and cigars, there has been a
gradual decline in favor of cigarettes.
The total consumption of tobacco in
all forms in 1912, as indicated in taxes
paid, was 547,357,134 pounds; in 1921
it was 733,331 ,981 pounds.
Figures for the two years show that
in 1912, tobacco manufactured into
cigars totaled 14s,690,65O pounds;
1921, 156, 6,759,474 pounds. Cigarettes,
1912, 47,117,111 pounds; 1921, 191,-
145, ,529 pounds. Tobacco and snuff,
1912, 35O,549,373 pounds; 1921, 1885,
826,978 pounds.
