Cigarette Sales
Show Increase

Americas tobacco habit" is be-
coming more and more a Cigarette
habit" according to the trend
shown in a comparative statement
of internal revenue receipts from
the tax on tobacco manufacturers
during the calendar year 1934-35,
released by the Treasury Depart
ment.
While the total revenue from
the chewing and smoking tobacco
and snuff manufacturers during
1885 dropped below the 1884 total,
the cigar manufacturing tax little
more than held its own, the cigar
manufacturing tax receipts,
most Of which come from manu-
facturers in North Carolina, show
ed a tremendous increase over 1884.
Federal receipts from the Gig
arctic manufacturers in 1884 to-
tailed $377,47S,601 in 1884, and in
1885 it jumped to $405,S5S,259.
Of these sums, North Carolina
manufacturers paid in 1884, $2o4,-
and in the past year
$220,245,5o3.
At the same time this increase
was noted, the federal revenue
from chewing, smoking and snuff
manufacture dropped from $751;
in 1884, to $61,263,933 in
1885. North Carolina m~anufac-
turers contributions showed a SINH
lar drop, from $~22,z16,395 in 1884
to $21,1S7,S37 in 1885.
Total receipts from the tax on
cigar manufacturers were SILL
934,o74 in 1884 and $12, oo2,o
in 1885, a gain of but $4,000.
Cardinals share of this lax
was small, but showed an increase
in 1885, when it was 1881,
over 1884, when it was $64,747.

A DOLLAR GOES A LONG
WAY

Well, Walter Johnson did it.
There probably was more intere,,
in this years Washington's birth
day celebration than in any previ-
GUS February y in recent years
1t was a bright idea of Congress
man Sol Bloom, of New York, to
bet that Walter Johnson, famous
former baseball pitcher and now
a Maryland farmer, could not throw
a silver dollar across the Kappa
hammock River.
Mr.. Bloom had expressed doubt
that George Washington ever per-
formed that feat, which was related
by his first biographer, Parson
Weems. The good Parson only
wanted to prove that the Father OF
his Country was a powerful man.
There isn't any other evidence that
Washington ever threw a dollar
away, either across the Rappahan-
mock or anywhere else, but the story
has persisted. Now Walter John
son has proved that it could have
been done. That is, provided the
Rappahannock River wasn't any
wider when Washington was a
young man than it is now. 1t is
III feet wide now at Fredericks-
burg, Virginia but Mr.. Bloom
thinks he has evidence that it was
1920 feet wide in Washington's
youth.
Mr.. Bloom was also skeptical
about the dollar story because he
said that dollars weren't coined in
America until after Washington
became President. That is true
but he forgot that dollar" is not
an American word, but had been ir
use for centuries, and that the Span.
ish milled dollar, or peso, was :
standard coin all over the worle
long before the American Revolt.

had lost on all counts, and Walter
Johnson has proved that ever
though he has quit big league base.
ball to become a farmer, he is still
a mighty pitcher.
Some commentator once remark
ed that George Washington did al
even tougher job than throwing
dollar across the Rappahannock
when he threw a sovereign acros
the Atlantic Ocean. Even Waite
johnson couldn't do that.

OPPORTUNITY 80. today
One thing that makes me feel pa
triotic is the frequent instances I
encounter Of young folk who have
found opportunities to get ahead in
the world and make something of
themselves when all around them
folk were wailing that there were
no opportunities left for the young.
There are greater opportunities
than ever for young people of
character, who are willing to work.
Six young friends of my daughter,
all of them under thirty, were at
the house the other night. All of
them have had to make their own
way in the world, and all have made
good in spite Of these years Of de-
preston. One girl is breeding
dogs and making a good living at
it. One young man is getting
along by collecting and selling met
al from discarded automobiles.
Two of the girls started a laundry
three years ago, specializing in
washing baby clothes. They run
three delivery wagons now. An
other boy and his brother have
turned their taste for amateur
photography to account, and do a
good business in photographing
business men in their own offices.
Opportunity gone? Not a bit
of it.
HISTORY and us
At a dinner party in New York
the other evening one Of the guests,
"a Frenchman, asked me a question
about American history, which
was, fortunately, able to answer.
"I've been in your country two
years now," he eaid, "and the long r
1 stay, the more l am impressed
with the durability of your Ameri-
can institutions. You've been run
ming now for $50 years Or so under
a system of government which has
enabled you to become the greatest
people in the world. Over in
Europe we have changed every
principle of government many
times. I'm still a Frenchman, but
I like your system better than my
own country's.
"Since Washington became Presi-
dent of the United States, France
has had five different kinds of gov
eminent. Our present Republic is
only sixty years old. We throw out
our Cabinet and President every
little while. We think we know
a lot, but one thing which we
haven't learned and Americans have
is how to govern ourselves"

route to Chicago, on an unexpected
business trip.
According to Sharlee Farnsworsh,
daughter Of Luke Farnsworth's BROTH
er Lee, Robert Crocker, shocked at
learning the girl to whom he was
engaged was not the girl he had
thought her (namely, the real daugh-
ter Of the late Luke Farnsworth) =,
left the city on q short business trip,
asking her father to tell her of his
departure and to tell her that they
would discuss the advisability of going
on with their marriage, upon his re-
turn.
According to Yvonne Cuzzon, Miss
Farnsworth, overhearing the message,
decided to release him Immediately.
This is confirmed by letters received
by the girls who were to have acted
as Miss Farnsworth's bridesmaids, to
whom she wrote telling of her de-
cision.
Each Of the girls has tried to reach
their friend through Judge Kellogg,
offering their friendship and the shell
ter Of their respective homes until
such a time as she should decide
upon her future.
THE servants also, according to M1ss
Cuzzon, offered her their life savings
and their service, all Of which she
declined saying she was going into

1t seemed queer to sit here, miles
from the pictured home, and read of
the principals in that story. Familiar
faces, familiar names and yet it didn't
seem they belonged to her.
She read the story, went back and
read it over again. Kindness. under
standing and fairness in every line:
"Anne Farnsworth. popular debu-
tante daughter of the late Luke and
Lucinda Farnsworth, learned today
that she was not their real daughter,
that she had not been legally adopted,
and that the fortune believed left to
her had been disposed of In con-
trary manner.
"She also learned or decided, ac-
cording to Yvonne Cuzzon, her per-
sonal maid, that she would not marry
Robert Crocker, manager of the
Farnsworth Fisheries.
This knowledge, coming to her
within the span of few short hours,
was accepted without tears or re-
elimination, according to Judge Kel-
logg, and to the Farnsworth servants.
According to the judge, Luke Farrs-
worth. fatally injured in the auto
mobile wreck which claimed his wife,
lived long enough to write new will,
which instead of leaving the entire
estate to Anne Farnsworth, as did a

home to Lee Farnsworth and to a
sister, Mabel Farley, and leaves Anne
Farnsworth an allowance of $l00 a
