The Blind Tiger Also Cures.
Without having any positive evi
dence of my own, there is no 'use t*
say that blind. tigeis are nki own
quantities in Raleigh. They are hero
somewhere and they sell tuff that
would make a man choke his grand
mother and fight a horse. A friend
of mine happened in here from a dry
town and the condition of his health
required a stimulant. He does not
remember where he got it; the fact is
he didn't remember anything for
forty-eight hours and he will )ot
drink any more corn. That is what
he got, and if it wasn't hog it was a
lower grade. The tigers, however,
are not as bold or as numerous as they
used to be in Charleston. Like the
ground hog they are frightened at
their shadow, but the wise ones know
where to drop the money.
In Greenville the other day a man
whose good breeding and political
faith madte him despise the dispen
sary, told me that lie had been con
verted, that lie was a dispensary man
now. "I can't keep my d---- niggers
at work,'' he said. ''They fill up on
the rottenest stuff on earth, which
coires from the blind tigers and they
are not worth killing. It was not so
bad as that when the state's institu
tions were in the field.''
Happiness on Wheels.
And it is that way here, in Greenls
boro and Charlotte and Raleigh, in
dIy towns and in towns wliere dispen
saries thrive. Outside of Asheville or
Wilmington or Salisbury, the only
place where a man can buy a decent
drink in North Carolina is on a Pull
man t rain. It conies high, but it's
worth it.
As I said it the beginiing, tilie local
dqispenlsarY is not so had as that ini
(1uity in Soutl Carolina, and by this
I do not mean to say that I have join
ed tihe enemy. Every man hates a
trust until ihe becomes a part of it.
If I Were a tax dodger (and I am not,
because I have notihing to dodge) I t
might write my arn off in defence of
the system. That is human nature the
world over. A fair verdict, however,
must give the greater share of praise
to the local grog shop, because it only 5
coiiics whienl i majority of the people
of any one community vote for it.
Tihey vote it in and they can vote it
out. Just why it should have the mor
al support of the God-fearing is be
yoid human understanding- t
It is worse inl any shape than the I
high license saloon, and% we have sa
loons here and they pay no license. I
They sell nothing, of course, but they ,
real) a harvest on the corkage and the
city (toes not object. They beat the
devil around the stump just as the dis
pensary beats him, for it is likewise
beyond human understanding why the
sale of liquor is moral when the bar
is operated by the city or the state
and not. by a foreigier whose great
ness depends upon his ability to mix
a gin fiz'z. And then thle children are lI
educated here as in South Carolina, g
on the fund which comes from the 2
wrecks ini the Potter's Field, and a
part of it goes to the roadls which are e
imnproved, all of them leading to the.
place of sale.
Sincere Shouter for Water Wagon ~
Brigade.t
Governor Glenn is the shouting i<
prohiibitioiiist of the Old North State. f
I believe lhe is sincere. He is much in
dlemandi~, and lie makes templerance s
lectures and when a town is p)rep)ariing t
for an election the water wagon bri- (
gadle sends for him. As a general rule 1
everybody gets on and the bars blink
amid stagger out. But lie will never I
change Wilmington and Salisbury I
and Asheville, and a dispeiisary law
(1oesn1't hurt there, because the peo
ple turn it down. . lecently, wh'len I
talking to the farmers o,f Wake couni
ty, he switched oni to prohibition andi
elhosedI by urging the salt of the earth
to keep away from the dispensary.
There w~as a big crowd in town that
day and liquor sales were heavy,
which was a good indication that the
farmers didn 't reduce the high ball
acreage.
If the Whiskey Trust should ask
an intelligent citizen of this town
how saloons could be brought back
there would b)e but one answeu-pro
hiibit.ion. That would take awvay the
revenue and increase the number of
tigers. A change of sentiment would
come over the people, they wvould hold
off for the required time and then
petition for an election. The bars
would wvin without drawing cards.
Charlotte and Greensboro and a fewv
* others are itching for a chance like
* that, but in Ralbigh the dispensary is
here for a good, long time. Raleigh
quences the thirst of Wake county
nnd the tigers drive the monkeys away
ofter sunset.
Graduates From Greensboro.
Meanwhile at Greensboro the Kee
ly Ilastitute is doing a wvorld of -good

tunt down its big roll of pupils. They
ldve commencemeit. exqlses up
there pvery fetir 'r lve AVoek, and

YQtqgut thq liq4or deippa., So long
as liquor is mad Jhe'pd iof North
Caroliha ghill nipi$grdless of
the laws andtthe effortsto suppress
its sale. But some bat-e'ared teachers
up here think that prohibition pro
hibits and acts like the gold cure.
Like tIhe court house lawyer I have
saved the evidence that this dispen
sary has reduced crime for the last.
Up here there are newspaper edi
tors who tell their readers from day
to day that Raleigh is infested with
hell holes, whatever they are, but this
is strictly and absolutely a moral
oininunity. There can be no doubt
.bout that. To some it is painfully
vident. Chief of Police Mullins fur
iished a list of arrests directly at
tributable to liquor drinking and it
;hows that there was less activity in
police circles during 1905 than in
l903, when the saloons were running.
1'or instance, in 1903, the last bar
oon year, there 633 arrests for
Irunkenness and disorderly conduct,
vhile in 1905, under the dispensary
'egime there were 588. This is all the
estinony, it would seem, that the ad
rocates of that system require to
ihout. While the record for the 12 4
nonths is in favor of the official li
lior shop, there were more arrests in
4epteinber, October, November and
)eeember of 1905 than for the cor- I
lespondig period of 1903, the figures
eing, 1903, 159; 1905, 262. The
tate fair is held in October, and last (
all the arrests for drunkenness were
louble the number for October, 1903.
still. the figures for the year as' a
Viole apparently iidieate that a good a
1nny have reformed.
Again; in January and February, t
904, the first year of the dispensary,
here were 57 arrests; ,in 1905, the
ecOnd year, there were 64 in those {
wo Imolnths, and in Jamtary an(d Feb
nary of the present year there were
15. Figires can be juggled to prove .
nything, and it is more likely that
his increased business for the police
s (ue to the fact that new people ares
om1ing here to live.
A Puzzle About Chasers.
But it must be remembered that the
lispensary is merely a liquor saloon
nder another name. The question,
herefore, is how the God-fearing can
ake it without a chaser. It is a
nighty poor compromise for prolh- It
>ition, but then at heart they doubt
ass adnit that prohibition is a joke.
