Charity aod Children, a paper we have of ten highly oommended. contained an -oditional on ."The Deadly Cig arette,'.' which we j reproduce In the feilowing paragraph: .v:; '-"For aomo reason the warfare against '-the " cigarette baa well nigh ceased, though the evil is generally -id ml tied to be constant ly increasing,-; a We t have ttyen heard it gravely hinted by those who : used 'to : assail the habit vi gorously that it is not so much of a curse afiei all, as we had been led Jo believe, : But the phyt vians still Insist that it is. ruinous to the health of boys,, audi the bloodshot eyes 4nd pale faces of young smokers confirm the opin ion of the doctors. We have no doubt in the world that cigarette destroy s five boy s where whiskey kills one'" One reason for this s that it is unpopular lor a youth to drink whiskey, but ; quite the thing . for him to smoke a.oi: garette. Recently we heard an old man imploring a young fellow to stop smoking . because k the deadly effect of the habit was plainly' written in the boy's face. The old gentleman told the youth that be would gladly get down on his knees in the street where they were standing and pray the Lord to give him trength to breakthe habit, iQhe woold allow bim. The boy replied that it waa of no use the habit bad such arbold upon him he could not quit it That was a sad picture. We shall not soon forget" the iook of pity on the' old man's face nor that of hopelessness on the face of the boy as they departed in silence. There ie big money in cigarettes, to be sure, millions have been made by their sale bat we know one woman, a loving mother .who wouleVgive aU-the"nnllii-'f Rockefeller, if she owned them, if she only had her dear boy back again. There are large numbers of bright boys io North Carolna who.; read these columns. ; Wo long to see them develop into no ble and nsefpl men. You cannot possibly become a noble or a use fui man, my boy, and smoke ci garettes at the same time. On.e of two things you must surren deryour, manhood or your ci garette. 'Which shall it be? The Greenville Reflector. Com ments on the above editorial as foliowsi. - - Charity and Children, the ex cellent organ of tbe Baptist Or - phanage at Tbomasville, has a grave editorial in its issue of this week upon the cigarette habit among boys and its effect upon tbom. It says no doubt that the cigarette destroys five boys where whiskey . kills one; - and urges its young readers to ab stain from tbem, telling tbemjthat they- must surrender their man bood or - their cigarettes. The advice is most -exellent, though we have doubt as to its effective ness, the better the advice in the most of cases the less likely it is to be . taken. In a majoiity of instances a boy begins smoking cigarettes because be tbinkslt.is manisb. Directly U becomes a habit ia i him, . and not being old enough to have developed r- a strength of character commensu- rate with the strength of the vice, he fancies tnar ne cannot grapple successfully with it and suiren- Jes to it without s struggle; or Ise--being. always very mucn smarter at tbawage than he ever is : afterwards he thinks be knows better than any one else what is good and what is bad lor him,' he sneers at bis advisers and will not stop because he does not want to.- ' A There has lately come to the writer's knowledre a: very im pressive story upon this subject. It ia from agentlemairWbobae reoently had . personal business with tbe chief officer In at lmpor tan I 8outbern city of one ot tbe best known (surety and' bonding companies Jin the country.- This officer- told our friend r that his company has bonded some thou sands of boys and youths of nine- Ujou years of age and under, , w were -in .positions pi trust; that out of. the whole number seven hundred have goue wrong, and careful Inquiry Into the history of each developed the fact that, with out a single exception, these seven hundred boys smoked cigarettes Now this company appends to the otber questions to which, Jt re quires answers, from applicants for bonds, Da you smoke cigar ewear This Is the' best possible proof of what . many persons have ob served, that .this habit : not only sap the physical constitution, but perverts the moral nature of its victim. The lesson here tausht is an awful one. 'We do not' suppose, this recital of facts trill have any Influence upon those whom it is designed to benefit, - but it goes for what it is worth. , .The Press. ' Every publicenterprise appeals to the press for support, and if deverving, seldom fails to secure it The newspaper of today is a pu blio institution, and the refore sympathizes with all others', Jt is not subjet ., to the narrow and rigid rules which apply. to merely private callings, but to the broad and enlightened principles spring ing out of its relation to the pub: lio and its" duty to the people in the' collection and publication of information "relating to their in terests. ' - The business of journrlism is no longer a mere incident to the printer's trade. It has become a great and leading professionwith honored - fraternal organizations similar to the medical societies and bar associations. ' " - v The newspaper is the great educator" of the great masses of tbe people' It induces them to read and com pels them to thiok.4 The man who reads the news paper is a citizen of the world. Be feels an InteresUn jLbepeop:e of all c'lands, for their doings are tfrdueht home to "his door. He fejolces' With thenf in thefV forb ones, and sympathizes with them in' their misfortunes. A good, clean, moral newspa per is next to the Bible in ennob-" ling mankind. ' It is also the great agent of progress and reform. -. Aouses do not reform themselevs. It brings them to the attention of. public, opinion as often as it pro- cfaimes the imperious decree. Our nation is blessed with a free press, and as long as it re mains 'free from official censor ship, the liberties of the people are safe. 1 General LeeV Way. Soon after" General Robert E. Lee went to Lexington, Vs., he was offered tbe presidency of an insurance company at a salary of $10,000. He was at that time re ceiving only $3,000 as president of the Washington and Lee Uni versity. We -do not' want you to die- charge any duties, General," said be agent; "we simply wish the' use of your name; that will abun dantly compensate us." " "Excuse me, sir," - was the prompt and decided rejoinder; "I cannot consent-to receive pay for' services I do not render. ' ; I Nearly every mail brought him similar- propositions, and just a ! short while before his death a large aod wealthy corporation in New York City oferedhim $50 000 per annum to become its prea IdbsU But he refused all such offers and quietly pursued hts chosen path of duty.

This is : the lawyers; Let it stand as good law. Then there is a power Io tax them and that pow er will be xesorted to. via Jnne last it was the diy of every prop erty owner to IisK for taxation all property owned p all Jtmda. Un der Judge Sknonjton'a deeision jit was the dutv of the' railroad own ers to Kst their property in each oonnty'rTheyliaTO failed to dd so and are of oodrse liable to the penalties inoluding double taxa tion. We take "it that there will be no escape from, taxation On the part of the railroads. The Coun ty Commissioners of each county should af once proceed to have the railroad ' -property put on the tax; list.? '-Under- Simonton the! Corporation, Commission - cannot tax, then the same way other prop erty i taled . will.be resorted ta fn-Bei tie tkranty the railroads will be taxed "and ft their full value.

From killing a cow to killing a human being, the rule has . been to resist payment. The citizen has to fighH out his rights from, start to .finish. If the railroads wocld cultivate a spirit of adjustment of difficulties with the people friotion would soon cease, i. here is one tiling the citizen can ' understand and and that he will insist on and that is the railroads most be taxed just as he is taxtd no more and no less. And if there is no way to do this then North Carolinians will find a way. Ou the .whole the railroads of this oounty . pay on a fair assessment, and most of them will not raise any - question as to the - power of the Commission to tax. Where Is My Boy? Theie are nearl-songs so in tensely and universally human and true that they will always nave their occasion and their sympathetic ministry! ' One ot these is the well- known hymn, 'Where is my Wandering Boy Tonight?" The following is con densed from a chapter of autobi 'ograpby in the Union Gospel News: A young civil engineer of wes tern Kentucky, whp assisted his father in his business .of railroad prospecting and surveying, had Contracted intemperate habits. Uis work from place to place threw him into the - society of loose men, much "more than his father seemed to .be, aware of, ani' being a generous, convivial fellow, he paid Jfor . his popularity by copying their icdulgencea. , His dangerous appetite and his occasioiial fits of dissipation wore so ' shrewdly , concealed that his parents were kept in ignorance of them for two years until he was' twenty' years old. They OctlAnd. . J. Q. Pab M'nfgCo. made to the finest Walnut ..

Once, while the young man was employed oo a section of road for ty miles from ; home,- it became necessary to -"lie over",' from Thursday noon till Monday. His father would be detained till Bat urday, reaching home ip time for the choir,, rebersal, but the son returned at once, and went to a liquor saloon to commence a three day'sspree.".,:. '.-v; y The saloon keeper understood his case too well, and kept bim hid den in his own apartments. When the father returned, expecting to nnd toe ooy at nome, a surprise awaited him. Trouble began when the question, "Where's Har ry?" informed the startled moth er that he was missing. For the Sunday evening ser vice she was to sing a solo, and by special request because she sang it so well her selection was to be the hymn, "Where is My Wandering boyf" fit seemed to her impossible to perform her promise under the circumstances; and when, on Sunday -morning, a policemen found Harry, tl.e certainty was no more comforting than-the sus pense had been; bat she was ad vised that he would be 'all right tomorrow mornicg, had better not see him until he 'sobered up." She controlled her grief as well as she could, . took her part that day in the choir as usual, and made no change for the evening. -Toward night Harry began to come to himself. His father had hired a man to stay with him and see to his recovery, and when he learned that his mother had been told of his plight, the information cut him to the heart and helped to sober him. When ; the .bella rang, he an nounced his determination to go to church. .He knew; nothing of the evening program.- He was still in his working clothes,- but no" reasoningul&rdYs'lusAenlnTfen commTBsfonsfcomplaine Roti, and his attendant, after; making htm : as- presentable as possible, went with him to the service.. , Entering early by a side door, they found seats in a secluded corner, but not far from tho pul pit and the organ. The house filled, aod after the usual succes siqn of prayer, anthem and ser mon, the time for the solo came. It was probably the first time in that church that a mother had ever sung out of her own soul's distress: - Oh, where ia m7 wandering boy tonight! The child ot my love and oaret'i What faith sustained her, when every word must nave oeen a cruel stab! The great audience caught the feeling of the song, but there was one heart as near to breaking as her own. That be was present she had no knowl edge She had sung the last stanza, .Go for my. wandering boy tonight, Go ibaroh for him where yon will, But bring him to me with all his blight, And tell him I love him itlll. Jh, where is my wandering boyt" When a young man in a woollen shirt and corduroy trousers and jacket made his way to the choir stairs with outstretched arms, and sobbing like a child, exclaim ed: . , - "Here I am mother!" Tbe weeping mother hastened down the steps and folded him in her arms. .The astonished organist, quick to take in tbe meaning of the scene, palled out ail bis stops and played 'Old Hun d red ""Praise God, from whom all blessings flow." The coDgre gation, with their hundreds of voices, joined in the gre-.it doxol- ogy, while the father, - the pastor and the friends of the returned prodigal stood by him with moist eyes and welcoming hands. The wayward ; boy ended his wauder'.ngs then and there. That moment was a consecration, and the beginning of a life of sobriety and Christian usefulness. , - Tou assume no risk when yo buy Chamberlain's colic, cholera and diarrhoea remedy.

Journal of Education. . ;- Everywhere in North Carolina the v sentiment tor good roads seem to be growing,aodin several coun'ics the work of grading and macadamizing has begun. Every teacher in tbe public schools of the state should encourage this movement and make special ef fort to help develop the senti ment. Occasional lessons on the value of good roads should be given to the whole school, and a 'good road day," with addresses by prominent citizens favoring tbe building of the roads, might do much good. - Of course the pe rents of the children should bf Invited to . hear the addresses and the " improvement - of the schools should not be passed over in silence. Teachers should take an interest in all questions oi this kind effecting the welfare of the community.: and inthisoiu, especially, since the welfare of the schools! Is so closely connected and thatsheffcith it - With good roads there will be little or no opposition to lessening' the number of schools and increasing the size of the district, a measure absolutely necessary to any great improve ment in the schools. , .. Skimming It, "If you're going Jo give a pan of mUk don't skim. it,, first," the old , grandmother, used to say, meaning: If you are goiiig to do a favor, don't spoil it by an un gracious word or ' manner. Haven't we noticed how much Jof this ""skimming":' goes on inor dinary family interoourseT -: ' "Another errand? - -I never can oo down town without half a doz- when his . sister asked bim to bring a book from the library. He never refuses . to oblige her; he does not really count it an incon venience; he only takes the cream off his kindness. - ' "Those gloves ripped again!" exclaimed Mary when John wants her to take a few stitches ."It seems to me - ther always need mending when I am in a hurry with 'something else, " She would be shocked at his going shabby, and distressed if anyoue thought her unwilling to render such of fices, but she makes it a little unpleasant to ask the favor The children follow the fashion. Tom my shuts tbedooratBridget's request; but be grumbles athav ing to leave his top. Susie goes to the door when she is sent, but she departs with- a protest that Vltis Tommy's turn." Thus all day long people who love one an other, and who at heart ace glad to serve one another, skim the sweetness from every service they render. Christian Look. Companion Stories tor 1900.
