Bar Rooms Produce Evil. Editor The question of the dispensary is Hie bin topic of the large mass of the citizenship of the town of Greenville, and it is one that is not fanatical or It is a matter of good or evil for the town and its future, the real citizenship that must be the men and women of the town who are to make its success or failure The records of the mayor's court as published are enough to satisfy any reasonable man or woman hat the town is in a bad state when of the cases tried before that tribunal are for drunk and down or disorderly. The of the criminal docket Of the Superior court show that over percent of the tried by that are the out- growth of intoxicants of some kind. This alone, it does seem, ought to cause the people of Greenville to think and act ac- feature that is the result of the saloon is the loafing and loitering around of a large number men and boys who gather soon in the morning and late at night, rainy days, in the bar and boys who t to he otherwise en- gaged. The assembling around billiard and pool rooms the rear of bar rooms of young men who engage in games and hading to drinks other vices numerous were they mentioned. The young men of today must be the middle aged and old men of the future of the country, and heads cultivated minds re becoming more essential to business success than ever before. I am not engaged in the fight for or against the It is a as above stated, to l e i Father, who have sons should seek to have conditions surrounding them as is not afforded in barrooms, billiard and pool rooms the associations they form there. This is not a fanaticism, but is in thorough keeping and accord with a higher better civilization, better government, better citizen- ship, greater law for that human- that needs and deserves to be lifted up and established in the good of all the people.

In Raleigh the month of January, 1904, a dispensary, arrests were made for drunkenness. During Jan- 1903, under tho saloon system, arrests drunkenness. None of the arrests in January last were young men. Arrests made for all in January 1903, were in January 1904, The same story with similar and like results comes from where the police, in under the dispensary, locked up five or six persons for Other place where the aver hat It la art pile farther statistics.

The town revenue which was from the bids fair to exceed the dispensary, judging the present outlook. In Raleigh also the savings banks are doing in- creased business, and the- revenue of the town is greatly increased. issues, of this paper the bearing of the dispensary upon business and upon town revenue in Greenville has been discussed. The progress and growth of the town does not depend on its whiskey shops. It will grow faster without them. With the saloons closed money that is usually deposited them will be spent for something to eat and to wear, and all business will be accordingly ex- the business of the barkeeper- himself. And in addition to in-r creased business the revenue from the dispensary will be many times the revenue from the opes bars, providing for better schools in- improvements, without any increase in taxation. If the dispensary increases town revenues to per increases business, as has de- and at the same time decreases and crime to per cent; can longer hesitate which to PROM KINSTON.

The rigid restrictions under is sold the take away the attractiveness of the saloon. The social feature is entirely absent, for a well eon- ducted dispensary is as as a prayer what financial profit that is derived from the sale of the beverage goes to the community at large. And that is right and just, fur the community has to foot the bills for all the deviltry caused by liquor. too, the removal of the as a factor in a community removes the saloon influence from politics this is a for good government. Not all men are corrupt, but that the saloon corrupt In us too the change has worked well. Liquor is Bold in community, but the arrest for have very decreased. Public is reduced to the minimum.
