The ute of cigarettes is not merely the use of tobacco, it is a vice by it? self ID reformatories where the core of the opium, alcohol, and cigarette habita? a business, cigar? ette patienta are not restricted from smoking cigars or pipes, which are regarded as comparatively harmless The cigarette works aspecical evil of its own which tobacco in other forms does not effect. This evil re* suit may be doe to drugs, or to the fact that the smoke of cigarettes is almost always inhaled into the lungs, while cigar smoke is not As to that, let the experts decide, about the fact of the effect there is no doubt; and no dearth of evidence. Nb other form of tobacco eats into the will as cigarettes do. The adult nan can carry off a good deal of poison jf one kind or another without disaster, and his duties being fixed and his will formed, he is usually able to make his minor vices subser? vient to his more important obliga? tions. And so it happens that it is a matter of constant observation in clubs, and wherever there are intelli? gent men who allow themselves all the creature indulgences that they Jare, that these experienced persons are constantly "swearing off" cigar? ettes for longer or shorter periods, and smoking cigars instead. The cigarette fetter begins to gall, and they fling it off. But young boys do not do that. They have not dis? cretion enough, for one thing, and for another, cigars cost too much for them, and cannot be smoked surreptitiously in a spare moment. It is the cheapness of the cigarette and its adaptability for concealment that tempt this school-boy's callow intelligence.- j Harper's Weekly. The spoken word, next to the writ- ! ten word, is of all things on earth, j most vital. Once spoken, the word ! cannot be recalled If it be a rash word, an angry word, a word of untruth or of malice, an impure or j profane word, it has gone, as an j arrow from the bow, on its mission of evil, and all bad angels wait to speed j it on. Let us pause before we speak, j and let our words be words of loving kindness; Second causes are God's as much ; as fi -st. The roundabout, common ways of things are just as much His as the straight, miraculous ones-I incline to thins more His, in the sense they are plainly the way He prefers. In all things that are, He is-present even in the evil we bring into the world, to foil it and bring jood out of it.-George Macdonald. Mr. Moon's Manifesto. (Special to the State.) NEWBERRY, Aug. 30 -Mr. Frank Moon, who announced last week that be would he a candidate for Governor at the November election, even if he did not get bot one vote; waa in the city ye^erday. .He bas been Mooring^ upon bis address to the peo le of Sooth Caro lina, and the following is what be bas brought forth, lt is not as strong or as lively or as interesting as T expected it would be wheo he asked me last week to aonoonce hts candidacy, though I bad no idea theo what be in? tended to say to the voters of Soo tb Carolina, for op to that time I never had an idea that he contemplated milk? ing toe race. . fie says, however, that be means business and kerning to stay in to the bitter end. Here is bis manifesto: To the Voters of Sooth Carolin a : As people expect the reasons why one rons for Governor, I give mine: I am outdone at the way in which per? sons calling themselves Reformers have out-H eroded the same Herod whom I have been fighting, tooth aou nail, for twenty years, try tog to "refs wm7' themselves tb the highest bidder, with the most specious promises and least fulfillment. The one satisfaction re? sulting is to see oom ber one kicked oat into the cold, even though the kicker be no better. It seems likely to prove a repetition of the fable of the fox.: the fites sod the s wallow. The new swarm will take the last drop. They want the earth.' I enter my protest to the form of put? ting op my carcass to be shot at-that is ' 'cussed ' ? at. I have proved in the past my competency to tote more "cusaiog" than anybody, and still stand alone I consulted with no living mao about this move. I believe it the doty of some? body I can't mark oot a line pf action for orber people ; therefore. Foi io myself. I am little koowa, bot rt ia better taos than to be koowa a scoundrel. Most persons io our town know ute, among them plenty cf enemies. I am willing to leave the telling of the troth to soy or all of them I am what is known io Pierson's "as^et^* ss a "high kicker." Woco they get too bad, kick them oot. f ara a Reformer io the sense of trying : to get all the good we can, and the supposition is that under a Bern ocra tic form of government every noe will be the same way. The question. theo, ts. What is best tor os ali io tbe long roo. I don't kick at the measures of Reform? ers, so-called, so much as at their methods of self perpetuation Aa to tba questions of the day : Agricultural colleges-I am in favor of making these serf-supporting, or as oearly so as possible, sod if scientific tanning is not a delusion, wc should ooma very sear it If it be s delusion, the sooner the bobbi? bursts the batter for all hatds I would have it so. that every poor child can. by irs labor, earn a sufficiency of wholesome food aad comfortable clothing, and at the same time prosecute its stonies Io ease of war tba State furnishes goo, rations and clot biog. The nation prop? erly educated, I would hope to save the expense of the goo, so tbst swords might be tamed to plows and spears ?oro pruning knives. No well educated mao will deny that the ethics of the Christian religion woold, if carried oat, be tbe best thing to live by in all the world. As to the liquor question. I tbiuk the dispensary, nuder government control of that terribie moral explo? sive, alcohol, the best plan yet discov? ered. Of course, experience, under management devoted to the highest good of the people, will modify and I improve tbe carrying out of the law, j and it will not be on the line of money profit to the State I have a pet theory concerning a dog law in which our Reformers have sorely disappointed me. Certainly they will not allow that the subject is above their comprehension, and if they claim that it is beneath them I will boldly assert that it will take very little "screeching" for them to get down to it. My idea of the financial question, which is to-day agitating the country, is that inasmuch as the money of the State, yours and mine, has been loaned to the privileged class, virtually with? out interest, for about thirty years, by meao3 of which they have been able to pat their feet apon the necks of tbe producing classes, they depositing gov? ernment booda as security, that turn about being fair play, we the producers, by pledging land, and land being cer? tainly the most stable of all commodi? ties, should be entitled to at least equal privileges from government, especially as the tiller of the soil occupies the most important part in the social system of j any business whatever And now I come to something far j more important than anything else, be- j cause tbe sum of all things must be j greater than any part of it can be-thc j religion enunciated by Jesus. This is a so-called Christian nation, and quite j a large number of voters profess to-d?y j to follow the teachings of this great Exemplar. I am called by many per- j 8008 an infidel, bat I say to you in His words, "Unless you exceed the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees you shall all perish." Let us come together. Let us see what these doctrines say as to the treatment of our fellow man. Pat yourself in his place, is Bible doctrine, and it is Dickens, too. Certain it is that wc shall not be worsted by this philosophy in the loog run. FRANK MOON. Pay Your Minister. Upon the eve of going to press, in? telligence has reached me that three of the pari?hes in the Diocese of Alabama have notified their rectors that they are unable to make up the full amount of salary for the ensuing year. This intelligence rather con? tradicts a- statement made elsewhere tn these editorial columns to the effect that our people are, notwithstanding the financial depression, maintaining their offerings to all Church objects. 1 am sorry indeed to note this contra? diction. I was taking a genuine pride in the loyalty and fidelity of the people Nor will I allow these exceptions to weigh overmuch, 1 still believe that our people are loyal in meeting their obligations to the Church. Nor do I believe that in these pariahes there is. any valid, rea? son for this abridgement of salary. Think, Christians, that these ministers of God have surrendered all things for Christ. Tliey receive less than those laborers who are now striking for higher wages, and are creating such disturbances in our land. The aver age salary of a minister of the Gospel is less than the wages of a man who shovels coal in the mines, who opens tire throttle-vale of the engine, and scarcely more than the switch-opener and i he fireman on the locomotive. These latter strike if their vjages be reduced ; bot the minister cannot strike ; for him there is no redress, for he works for God. Think, Chris? tian. Think how much yon spend on self in selfish enjoyment, in luxuries, and remember that you must one day give account. How will you fare think you in the day of reckoning, when it shall be found that your re trench me n ts struck first at the obliga? tions you owe to God, to whom you owe ail things. Pay your minister He receives now far top little and much less than the most of you. It is a shame upoo you ; a stigma which cannot be re moved in this world, nor in the next, I think, if you abate one jot or tittle from the already inadequate amount you give to God and to Holy .('burch -Bishop Jackson, in Alabama Church Record. - i- I I mm Six Suicides.
