The Norfolk and Western rail road has issued orders prohibit ing its employes from smoking cigarettes and they will have to rut out cigarettes or hunt them another job- The Brotherhood of Engineers and Firemen, it is reported, look upon the order as an infringement of personal lib erty and will oppose it for that reason. Let it be interference with personal liberty, if the rail road believes it is to the best interest of its business to employ teetotalers in every respect they should do so. If an employe does not want to cut 'em out he is at liberty to get another job. It is our opinion that he had bet ter be glad that some one is trying to break him of a habit he could not quit himself. There are differences of opin ion as to wnetner tne use 01 cig arettes hurts one's health or not. That depends on several things. The more he smokes the worse he is hurt and the less he smokes tin- less he is hurt. We often hoar a fellow say he has smoked fur years and years and doesn't believe cigarettes hurt him. Per haps before he gets through tolling yu he will cough a "cig arette cough." We believe thatl a man can smoke cigarettes and live a long time, but under as favorable ci rcu instances he would live longer without them. We have never been able to understand the inconsistency of the temperance forces in their . attacks. We never hear any of our tern perance societies speak out against the use of cigarettes. It is the evil of whiskey. Orison Marden, writing along this line in Success Magazine says: "I leave it to others to discuss the moral side of cigarette smok ing. I denounce it simply be cause of its blighting, blasting effect of one's success in life; because it draws off the energy, saps the vitality and force, which ought to be made to tell in one's career; because it blunts the sen sibilitierf and deadens the think ing faculties; because it kills the ambition and the finer instincts, and the more delicate aspirations and conceptions; because it de stroys the ability to concentrate the mind, which is the secret of all aohievement. The whole tendency of the cig arette nicotine poison in the youth is to arrest development. It is fatal to all normal functions. It blights and blasts both health and morals. It not only ruins the faculties, but it unbalances the mind, as well. Many of the most pitiable cases of insanity in our asylums are cigarette fiends. It creates abnormal appetites, strange undefined longings, dis con tent, uneasiness, nervousness, irritability, and in many, an al most irresistible inclination to crime. In fact, the moral de pravity which follows the cigar ette habit is something frightful. Lying, cheating, impurity, loss of moral courage and manhood, a. complete dropping of life's standards all along the line are its general results. A chemist, hot long since, took the tobacco used in the average cigarette and soaked it in several teaspoonfuls of water and then injected a portion of it under the skin of a cat. The cat almost immediately went into convul sions, and died in fifteen minutes. Dogs have been killed with a single drop of nicotine. Cigarette smoking is no longer simply a moral question. The grejit business world' has taken it up as a deadly enemy of ad vancement,of achievement. Lead ing business firms all over the on the prohibited list. In Detroit alone sixty nine merchants have agreed not to employ the cigar ette user. In Chicago Montgom ery, Ward and Company, Hib bard, Sjiencer and Bartlett, and some of the other large conecrns have prohibited cigarette smok ing among all employes under eighteen years of age- warsnan Field and Company and the Mor gan and Wright Tire Company have this rule:: No cigaretts can be smoked by our employes-" ( me of the questions on the appli cation b'nnks at Wanamaker's reads: "Do you use tobicco or cigarettes?" The superintendent of the Lin dell Street Railway, of St- Louis, says: "Under no circumstances will I hire a man who smokes cig arettes. He is of dangerous on the front of a motor as a man who drinks. In fact, he is more dan irerous: his nerves are apt to give wav at anv moment- If I find a car running badly. I immediately begin to investigate to find if the man smokes cicarettes. Nine times out of ten he does, and then he iroes. for good " E. II. Ilarriman, the head of the Union Pacific Railroad sys torn, says that they "might as well go to a lunatic asylum for their employes as to hire cigar ette smokers. " The New York, New Haven and Hartford, the Chica", Rock Island and Pacific, the Lehigh Valley, the Burlington and many others of the leading railroad companies of this country have issued orders positively forbid ding the use of cigarettes by employes while on duty. PLEDGING BEFOREHAND. The Red Springs Citizens says: "The county convention is yet a long way off, and there are seve ral reasons why people should not be too eager to pledge their support to any candidate. None of us know who will be before the convention. We take very little stock in the "dark horse" business, but there is yet time for others to announce them selves than these already before the poonlo. " In commending the above the Scottish Chief, Maxton, says: "We have known of people's making pledges that they regret ted. Like an honest juryman that you are, take the claims of each candidate and consider them carefully, withoutmakingan irre vocable promise, and then when time comes for nominations, vote for the man your best judgment says you should support, and the man who is honest, and capable of rendering his constituents the best service " Certainly a man ought not to pledge his vote so far ahead. It is plenty time when all entries to the race are made. If you pledge to soon you may want to change for good reason. It is all right to make up your mind at the be ginning who you will vote for but there's no reason to pledge your self. The Southern Bell Telephone Co. has announced that it will spend a considerable amount of money n erecting a building at Statesville and will install' a 'phone system there. The citi zens of Statesville have expressed in unmistakable terms their dis trust of the Bell people. They know when they once get a hold the usual thing will happen higher rates will be demanded for their 'phone service- A uni ted effort has been made to de feat the Bell people in their fight and knowing the people back of it we feel sure they will win out. Board ol Health Bulletin. The May bulletin of the North Carolina board of health sho-vs a death rate per l,000,on a tempo rary annual basis, of 16.1 white; '27y.-J. colored, and total of 19.6 per cent. The majority of 20 coun ties reiMirting to the board show trntnf a total of 265 deaths in the State a difference of only one in in white and colored, or 133 whites and 1,'j-J colored, of adults, whileunder five years and 'reck oning for still Ixirn cases, which wore five in number, there were 16 whites and 41 colored. Diar Hioeal diseases caused death in cases, consumption in 34 cases and heart disease in 23 cases, of the last two majority being among the colored people, and in diarrhoealtroubles the Whites: outriuihoenng' tlie colored raee: by 17.,. The president of the board is especially desirous to better in form the people in ireneralon the subject to tuljerculosis. This, he thinks could be best and most practically brought about, by the employment of the services of a regular corps, whose work should be so applied. Subscribe for The Robesonian LITTLE INCIDENTS. "I don't believe it is all togeth er the quantity a persou eats or what he "eats that hurts but oth er things are to be considered," remarked the observant man. "Take myself, for instance. I was a cuest of a hotel the other day where I know they have something good to eat, When dinner time came I had an appetite right and when I enter ed the dining room it came with greater force. The table I was assigned was served by the aor riest waiter I ever saw. This was the first blow at my appetite. I wondered if the head-waiter knew it when he put me there I felt an indignation that I did not dare express. About the time I did get something to eat, with my appetite already very much impaired, a little fellow sat down at the opposite end of the table. He was just starting out The first thing he did was to tip the waiter. Merit did not count but he had heard of tipping the waiter and thought it the thing to do. The waiter evidently had a conscience and took the tip about like he would a neighbor's sheep. He knew it did not be- lontrtohim. It is this kind that the waiters find easy-meat. This was disgust number two to my appetite. I hadn't recovered from that until another diner was seated next to me. He began snorting about there being noth ing fit to eat. I bet it was the first square meal he had ever set down to. This was more than my appetite could stand and I left the table. If I had eaten wind under such circumstances, would have suffered from indi gestion". And probably his conclusion is about rierht for a person of that disposition. Did you ever see a fellow with so much vanity that it was a source of apparent pain to him. I have. I was on the train the oth er day with Mr. Vanity himself. He was as proud as a peacock. He had to move his seat three times before he was the least bit con tented. At last he got where he thought he could work his scheme best. Even every casual glance of a lady passeger he took as meant for him. His idea was not to flirt but to make a mash on the ladies. Finally deciding on two pretty victims he went in to attract their attention. Every thing in the way of letters that were as old as the hills were tak en out and looked through- The time the ladies looked at him he was always busy with his papers and apparently did not see them. This growing old something else was tried. A new piece of gum would take the place of the old, which he would throw with some vim against the floor- An un lighted cigar would next do time in his mouth, chewing it from one corner of his mouth to the other but always careful not to let the ladies see him looking at them. Such vanity is cheap aud com mon, and the one who indulges therein impresses no one as much as himself. Season Items. Correspondence of The Bobeaonlan. We are having nice showers in this section. Crops are looking fine, though not as good as we thought they would be at this time. Mr. A. S. Allen killed a rattle snake with twelve rattles. The skidders are shut down on account of waler.

Correspondence of The lobesoman. At a meeting of the Cotton Growers of Robeson county, held at Lumberton Monday, it was agreed to devote a month to ' the development of the association. To this end a series of picnics has been decided upon as follows. Raft Swamp, Thursday, July 26th; Maxton, Thursday," August 2nd; , Antioch, Blue Springs township, Saturday, August 4th; Alfordsville, Saturday, August 11th; Lumber Bridge, Saturday, August 18th; Ten Mile Church, Friday, August 24th. Speakers will be secured for there occasions and the days are to be devoted to recreation and feasting. The people of each community are urged to bear the dates in mind and make such preparations as will make each occasion a memorable one. The ladies are especially urged to go out and add cheer.and learn what the success of the association means to them, their homes, land their children. Already the movement has ac complished much for the South, but the fight is only begun, and to win a permanent victory, it is absolutely necessary to push the campaign. Every cotton grower in the county should be a member, and not only should the growers, but the business men too. The suc cess of the association means the success of all True, Robe son county is only a small part of the cotton growing area, but there is no telling the extent of the influence of a really enthus iastic and efficient organization here. We must do well our part and, doing this, we may trust the South as a whole to seize the op portunity for financial indepen dence that is today within its grasp. J no. E. Carlyle, County Organizer.
