have absorbed the idea of planting

that the high price of cotton is not a

to drop out at any time. Just so

cotton is made next season, this

for instance the return of W. C. Dudley Bro. They return they
bought only worth of liquor for a whole year from July 1st, 1902
to July, 1st, 1903. They did business in the two story brick store on the
East side of street nearly opposite the Bank of Greenville. We es
the rent, light and fuel for the bar room at We estimate
that they paid their clerk about per year. Dudley kept house
near Hotel Bertha and we suppose he paid as much as a year rent
f r his home. We estimate that his wood, lights, washing, table, servant
hire, ., cost him at least more. Tho state, county, town an fed-
tax was about Here we find a whiskey firm doing
w nth of business on worth of liquor. Either the profits of the
whiskey business are marvelous or there is something criminally wrong in
t returns made. The same criticism can be made of all the other son-
engaged in the business. Then it is manifest that neither their
returns nor their sworn statements give us any reliable data by which to
estimate the profits on the whiskey business in Greenville.
But this we know. There are eleven bar rooms now doing business
ii Greenville. There are two men in each owner and a clerk
in some of them there may be more. This makes at least men to he
s out of the business. It is a low estimate to put each man
per year including house rent for family, support of and
else. This makes It is well known that rents for bar
raw are very high, much higher than for any other purpose. It is not
a i over estimate to put the average for rents, lights, fuel and incidentals
at each. This will make for rents, light-;, fuel and
-i. The state, county, town and tax is for each bar room.
This gives us about t lies to come out of the business. So we
h fixed charges amounting over that must come out of the
sales of whiskey made by the eleven bar rooms before any profit can be
declared. There must be profit a business that can bear this burden.
If we want any further proof that there is profit in it we find it in the fact
that the eleven men who bear this burden are making a desperate fight to
hold on to their business.
If a dispensary is established nearly all of this expense can be saved
and it can go into profit. Instead of eleven places of business and high
rents there will be hut one. Instead of men, four will be
There is no tax except three per cent on gross sales t the state. Then
there are no bad debts as with the eleven bar rooms. It is all cash. Al-
though the returns of tho barkeepers do not show it, it is a well known
fact there is a large amount of whiskey sold in Greenville. Add a reason-
able profit on what is sold to the expense saved by a dispensary, and we
assert that the net profit cannot be lass than if the dispensary is
put under proper business management. One half of this goes into the
town treasury to meet the current expenses of the town. With this
amount paid into the town treasury from the dispensary all taxes can
be abolished if that shall be thought advisable. One year's receipts
will pay the town's subscription to the Raleigh and Pamlico Railroad. Or
the funds can be used to put the streets in order, and if wisely spent
will, in a few years, giro us good streets. The other half goes into the
school fund. With paid into the school fund from this source,
Pitt can soon have a school system of which every citizen can be
proud and which will ultimately give the county an educated citizen-
ship.
We have already said that the money view of the question is a low
view, but we repeat that it is one that must be taken into a full discussion
of the matter. It is well known that the sale and use of liquor is a fruit-
source of idleness, lawlessness and crime and that these add to the
burdens of the payer.
It is therefor wise that we so regulate the sale and use that
the evil produced aha- be -mall as possible and that the profit arising
from the tram a shall g the hardens the tax payers ad
errs geed.
