There are in town eleven bar rooms. The law require them to make semi-annual returns, under the Register of Deed, of the amount of liquor purchased by them for the previous six months. We copy from the records of the Register of Deeds tho returns made to him for the six beginning July 1st, ending Jan. 1st, 1903, and for ins six months beginning Jan. 1st, 1903 and ending July 1st, 1903.

William C. Whitney, which occurred Tuesday in New York, removes one of the most prominent men of the country. The aldermen can do the people of the town a favor by reminding the lamp lighter that the moon does not shine in the early hours of the night now If the people could forget the ho price of cotton long enough to get interested in needed enter- prises for Greenville, the ties for making money would be increased. There is plenty of room for factories here and the for investment. As long as it is other people's money that is paid out, congress g at the appropriation business with a slack hand. The senate was about to dish out to the St. Louis exposition without even a of discussion, but almost at the las point Senator Bailey put in a protest. A few others of the took sides with him and the preposition a jolt. pass all the A few years ago only the lint was considered worth anything to men and the seed were thrown in the compost pile. But the seed have become a profitable product and add much to the value of the crop. Now another part of bark on the found to be worth a good value. Just let somebody find a use to make of the stalks, leaves and cast off blossoms, and the I thing will be worth money. It does not look like cotton can be downed any more. Now the farmers had better look before they leap. Cotton jumping up with such bounds since the mid- of December has led most of the Southern planters to the intention of putting for big crops of it the coming fact not a few have absorbed the idea of planting nothing but cotton. But they had better think again. The decline of two cents a pound in two days shows that the high price of cotton is not a fixture, and that the bottom is liable to drop out at any time. Just so sure as an unusually large crop of cotton is made next season, this writer believes there will be trouble ahead of those planters who place their entire dependence on that one crop. The price sf cotton is subject to too many whims, and experience that the worst whim usually strikes when there is e large lot of it in the hands of the farmers. the dispensary may be presented. We shall from time to time present two views of moral view and the money view. There is much that be said in rt of the moral view and and we invite others to help us present this great to the voters. We shall often be heard on it. It is our today to make a brief presentation of the money view. Section chapter laws of 1903 known as the Watts reads as follows said commissioners settlements with the governing body of said city or town, and that said governing body shall within ten days after settlement, pay half of the net profits of said dis- into the treasury of said city or town, and the other half into the treasury of the county in which said city or town is located, for the fit of the public schools of said If a dispensary is established in Greenville and its management is placed in the hands of practical bus- men who are favorable to it, think we can demonstrate that the net profits be less than a year. One half of this amount will go tho town treas- to run the government, to aid in the improvement of the streets and meet its other current expenses. That will wipe out entirely town taxation, for there has been collected from all sources, any one year, anything like We will the presentation of this view. 1903 For Year. J. A, E. It W. Dudley John H. Howard. V. Hooker L. Hooker W. E. F. R. A. M. L. Now remember these returns wore made under oath for the Dose of paying a tax to the State and C on the amount of the c There are many things about these returns to challenge the at. of the inquisitive, but shall only comment on one of them 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. v.
