E. H. AULL, EDITOR. WHAT MAKES A TOWN PROSPER. An Atlanta man now residing in Charleston was talking of the -At lanta spirit* when a North Caro linian declared hi. talk only -nor Atlanta hot air." Then the tueo got down to business and iadc a wager on the strength of the "At ' lanta spirit." The Atlantan asserted that his city would build at the St. Louis expo 't'on a model of t-he new un ion statioi- to be erected in the Gate Ci'tv: that he,would wheel an At lanta made wheel-barrow from the present union depot to the model at the exposition and would make more than two and a half miles an hour on the trip. The Atlantan has already won $25 on his first propo sition. since the model depot has been authorized. and if he carries out his part in full he will be rich er by $500. To show their appre ciation of his defense of the city. Atlanta manufacturers have agreed to.fuinish him with every piece of clothing he shall wear on his jour ney. One house contributes coat, vest and trousers: another shirts. collars and cuffs: a third gives sus penders and garters: a fourth neck ties; a fifth socks: a sixth hats: a seventh underwear: and eighth shoes: a ninth traveling bag. and a tenth cigars. This exhibit not only exemplifies the "Atlanta spirit" but it illus trates Atlanta enterprise. A city which manufactures everything that a man wears can be sure of permanent prosperity-it keeps its money at home among its own peo ple. Diversified industries will make any town great. "hot air" or no "hot air." It won't do to put all your eggs in one basket, for the boy who carries the basket may stump his toe and then all your eggs are gone!-Exchange The Atlanta spirit is worth a great deal to any town. By that we mean the spirit which always has a good word for the town and the people who compose it. We are too prone to make unkind remarks, not only about our town but about our neighbors. We need the spiri1 which, pushes along and not that which pulls back and acts rather as a stumbling block to progress. The annual meeting of the board of trade of Newberry will be held next Thursday. There should be a full attendance of the members and also of all business men whc are interested in the city- and thus th'row more life in the organization. cIGARETTE SMOKERS. A miagistate in Harlem court. New York city, tittered a v-ery sig nificant statement the other day when he said: *Yesterday I had before me thir -tv-five boy prisoners. Thirty-three of them w~ere confirmed cigarette smokers. Today, from a reliable source. I have made the grue-some discovery that two of the largest *cigarette manufacturers in this *-country soak their product in a *weak solution of opium. * If the da- covered eight hours in business, the court w~as kept busy wvith this horde of y-oung boys all - the tiine. thirtv-three were con firmed cigarette smokers. * It has been understood for a considerable time that some cigar ettes and some b)randls of snuff had *dope" qualities. Doubtless this in sures their p)opularity with thost)5 w~ho enjoy the doped articles. Onium is like whisker. it creater a growing appetite, grows witl' what it feeds upon. The cigrarette smoker enjoys the (lope senatior and after a time he is as craving for the sensation as he is for the taste and smell of tobacco. Never a day passes that some murder, homicide or trouble with police is not chronicled. How much is due to doped tobacco which is used no one can tell, of course, but opium is a true ally of bad whiskey, and its victims are generally ad dicted to the other vice. The history of eigarette usin.g by young boys ':s ould be a startling Srevelation to mnany of their mothers if they understood the alarinn propotionsto wich i has gx in this country. It is a deadly hab it in the most of cases, and when the cigarettes are steeped in a dope drug to dro,-n the senses of the user the crime is diabolical.-At lanta Journal. \Vhat is true in New York is no doubt true vherever the cigarette is ised.

Pneamonia is too dangerous a dis ease for anyone to attempt to doctor himself, although h emay have the proper remedies at hand. A physician should always be called. It should be borne in mind, however, that pneu monia always results from an attack oi the grip, and that by giving Cham berlain's Cough Remedy the threat ened attack of pneumonia may be warded off. This remedy is also used by physicians in the treatment of pneumonia with the best results. Dr. WV. J. Smith, of Sanders. Ala., who is also a druggist. says of it: "I have been selling Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and prescribing it in my prac tice for the past six years.
