Card Prom Browning
To The < /< n of lileekho County,
As your repiV'l'ntati.ve I made a
fight to gf 1 representation in the
General As-emhly for Bleckley
County tail after a unanimous ad
verse rep i't by a committee of nine
lawyers, the I lou-e decided that the
new counties could not have reprt*
floatation until a constitutional
•amendment is passed increasing the
number of representatives in the
House from 1M to 180, providing
one for Bleckley and one for
Wheeler. We had a fair hearing
and able lawyers to champion our
cause. The members of the House
regretted to take this action but felt
that the Constitution compelled
in to that course. .Several mem-
have promised to take care of
JHvlocal measures for us.
1 feel that the result was inevita
ble. No action on"our part could
have changed the result*. We ap
preciate your confidence and assure
your of our continued good will and
interest.
This amendment will have to he
passed in each House by a two-
vote, which will be easy to
get now, and then passed by the
people of the state in the next gen
eral election.
With Ik-st wishes for the success
of Bleckley county, I am
yours obediently,
Leo H. Browning.

More Drink ng Now
Than Ever Before
Cigarettes Are Becoming More
Popular Among Americans and
Even Snuff is Finding More
Devotees Than In Re
cent Years.
Washington, D. ('., July 10. —
The American people drank more
whisky and beer, smoked more
cigars, cigarette and tobacco dur
ing the fiscal year 15)13 than in any
other yearly pmiod of the nation’s
history, according to estimates
based today upon the record'l weak
ing internal revenue receipts of the
federal government of the twelve
months winch ended June ISO.
The drinkers of this country con
sumed the enormous total of 1 1-5,-
|()(),(MKI gallons of whisky and
brandy, an increase of 7,•’>00,000
gallons over the previous year, and
breaking the former high record of
the fiscal year 11107, by 7,000,000
gallons.
Sixty-four million, five hundred
thousand barrels of beer flowed
down the throats of the lovers >f
the umber brew, exceeding 1011 s
great record by more than 1,000,
000 barrels.
Smokers puffed into space 7,707,-
000,000 cigars and T! ,01 2,000,000
cigarettes during the year just
rinsed.
Thi- was 217,000,000 cigars and
2.71*0.00,000 cigarettes more than
| ever before has been consumed in a
. single year.
Patrons of the pipe used 403,-
200,000 pounds of tobacco, or 11,-
1400,000 pounds more than the con
] sumption of 11)12. Users of snuff
disposed of more than 33.200,000
pounds, an increase of more than
3,000,000 pounds over the previous
year.
Returns to the internal revenue
board show that the number of sa
loons in the conntry decreased by
18,000 during the year, the retail
liquor dealers numbering only
about 450,000. Assessments on
drinking and smoking luxuries, on
corporations, on olomargarine and
other articles taxed by the federal
government, brought in to the
