TOBACCO WORSHIP.
For the popularity of the tobacco
habit women are considerably to
blame. They tacitly consent, and in
many cases openly encourage its use.
Books by women novelists often throw
such a halo around the fragrant cigar
that young men are inclined to think
themselves heroes of romance if only
they can , "blow a cloud" bravely.
But there is nothing r'omantic or heroic
about stale tobacco smoke or the
chewed end of a cigar or spittoons.
These latter just as surely attend the
tobacco habit in any of its forms, as
death follows disease. There are wo
men who have become so accustomed
to the smoker's breath, , to the sicken
ing odor of his clothing that they don't
mind it, or say they don't, but it is
simply because their sense of smell, is
blunted in that particular direction.
To contend that ; the smell of cold
tobacco smoke is agreeable or even
inoffensive would be about like ' trying
to promote the pole cat to a place on
the hearth rug. We've said nothing
about the habit of chewing, because
there is no glimmer of romance about
t . -.- r-r. ..
that; 'it is so hopelessly dirty a practice
that we think it will never secure a
defender among women. Neither
have we said anything about the
cigarette. The smoking of cigarettes
is a dude disease and we would not cry
out against any instrumentality that
is making the number of these tailor-
made things less, but it is against the
insidious cigar that we would enter a
protest. It , parades as a thing of
grace, beauty and delight, but in the
end it comes to nothing but dirt.
disgust and disease. If a man" is to
become more attractive by possessing
a foul breath and an unsteady hand,
why your blear-eyed, shaking, reeking
whiskey guzzler should be a very
king. Bah ! If men will use tobacco,
let us call it a bad habit and have
done with it; not pretend that there is
anything' lovely about it.
It is hard to tell what will be the
result of the settlement of affairs at
the State National Bank There are
many rumors afloat, but nothing defi
nite can be told for several days to
come. Meanwhile it is best for de
positors and others who have claims
against the bank to be as cheerful as
if they were sure of 100 cents on the
dollar, and as resigned as if they were
sure not to get anything. The latest
reports go to show that forgery is to
be added to the list of crimes that the
defaulters have committed. If this is
so, they can be brought back from
Canada and made to suffer the penalty
of their misdeeds.

. EASTER SERVICES AT SALEM.
- : I I
According to' the custom of the
Moravians, Easter will be observed in
Salem this year as usual. The graves
of the dead in the lovely old grave
yard will be decorated' with flowers,
and the Salem band will play grand
old German Easter hymns, and the
service on Easter morning just as thv
sun begins to rise, will be, as it always
is, interesting and impressive. .Theru
are always many visitors from all
parts of the country to witness these
services, which are of a sort not to be
seen anywhere else in the South.

THE V. I. SOCIETY-
The Improvement Society met, at A.
M. Clarke's Tuesday evening s March
27th, and on account of the rain only
a few members were present. Tin;
sociable next Tuesday evening will bo
at the same place, and it is hoped there
will be a large attendance. In accord
ance with a vote, previously taken ,
next Thursday is to be observed as
day of general labor on the high-way s.
Everybody, whether a member of ' tin
Society or not, is requested to lay
aside his usual occupation and co
operate in this enterprise. It is a
matter in which all are equally inter
ested and every prejudice should b;
laid aside, to advance as far and as
fast as possible this good work of
home-making. Enough has already
been accomplished by the Society to
prove that they are in earnest and
mean business. It is no temporary
alliance, but a permanent organiza
tion that has been formed, and evriv
one who has the good of the place at
heart should . be represented next
Thursday.
Come early and bring tools, axrs,
spades and grubbing hoes. If wt
can not make "the wilderness to
bloom and blossom as the rose" all at.
once we will at least ''east up th;
high-ways and gather out the stones"'
in anticipation of the time when tlx?
i 'waste places" shall be comforted,
as was Zion of old.
A body of very rich gold ore was
struck a day or two ago in the 850
foot shaft at the Rudisill mine, located
in the western suburbs of the city.
The ore will assay 180 per ton. The
vein is broad. Charlotte Chronicle.
