December going to 781sc May was Off to

an hour the turn came and December
went back to 78Bc.

USE OF INTOxICANrs.

In sixty years the annual per capita con-
sumption of whiskey in the United States
has gradually decreased from two to one
and fourth gallons. In forty years the
consumption of beer has increased from
less than two to more than seventeen gal
Ions per capita.
The time was when the people of France
used little distilled spirits, combining their
use of intoxicants to light wines. The ex-
ample of France as nation comparatively
free from drunkenness was held up as an
object lesson in favor of the use OF wine.
Even then, when France had comparative
~ little drunkenness, there were those
who asserted that the drinking of wine
would cultivate taste for intoxlcants that
would make drunkards of future genera
TONS That prediction seems to have been
fulfilled. Today, according to writer In
the Journal de Debats, France holds the
first place among the nations as con-
sumner of alcoholic beverages per head of
population This is given as follows in
liters, the liter being about equal to our
quart: France, 1921; Switzerland, 1880;
Belgium, 1912; Italy, 1923; Denmark,
1921; Germany, 925; Holland, 500; Unit
ed States, SIS; Sweden, 497; Norway,
2.O6 Finland. 2, and Canada, 1.94. In
France the greater part of this is wine,
but in 1901 the consumption of spirits was
eight and one-half liters per head of popu-
lation The greatest increase in consump
ton has been in the class of distilled spr-
its.
There has been great change in pub
lie sentiment about the use of Intoxicating
drinks. There are many good men who
use alcoholic drinks in moderation and
who believe that such use is in no sense
injurious. But many are coming more
and more to believe in total abstinence as
the only safe cure. In the old times when
there was a decanter on every sideboard
and a morning dram was deemed the prop
err thing, many young men under such sur
roundings grew up without ever becoming
addicted to strong drink, but many more
than now contracted the habit of drinking
that made shipwreck of their lives.

CIRCUS TO LIVE HERE.
SauteIIe's Big Shows May
Winter in Raleigh.
Would Mean Thousands of Dollars EXPENDED
Here With The Merchants Of the

Sig. Sautelle, the manager of Sau-
erie, hippodrome and wild west, which
viii exhibit in Raleigh Wednesday after
noon and evening, October q, may rent,
buy or erect large barns and buildings in
this city, at the close of the present oed
son, and winter his shows here. 1t Is
stated by the press agent in advance that
Mr.. Sautelle has decided TO winter IN the
South when the fall season ends 1t Is
said that the manager and his trusted
agents have their eyes open for suitable
winter quarters.
AS no better location than Raj
eigh could be desired, it is highly
probable that this will be the city Sc
lected by the circus management. The
advance man says that should Mr. Sau-
telle fit up winter quarters in Raleigh,
by next spring many local merchants
would be much richer in purse, for he
expends several thousands of dollars every
winter for meat, hay, grain, provisions,
etc. The daily expense of maintaining the
shows during the cold season is almost
incredible. Besides the 800 horses, ponies
and donkeys, the several elephants, cameIs
and numerous cages of lions, tigers and
other wild animals, which must be cared
for, Mr.. Sautelle employs a veritable
army of fully $50 workmen all through
the winter. Then it costs him small for
tune to repair and repaint his entire
circus paraphernalia.
The local chamber of commerce should
use its very best endeayors to induce the
to winter the Sig SauteIe
show in Raleigh. 1t is to be sincerely
hoped that Mr.. Sautelle will find conGi-
lions favorable for wintering here.

Spirit of the Press.
SAME WAY IN RALEIGH.
Wadesboro Messenger and Intelligence

Wadesboro Messenger and Intelligencer.
Since we have had high taxes in
Wadesboro township, and in the town OF
Wadesboro, it is perfectly apparent to us
that the State Constitution should be
changed as to the manner of levying poll
tax. At present the Constitution pro
vides that the poll tax shall be three times
as much as the property tax on 800 worth
OF property. There is levied in this coun-
ty So 2-3 cents on the hundred dollars
worth of property for State, school and
county purposes. In Wadesboro township
we have tax of so cents on the hundred
dollars worth of property for road pur-
poses. The tax in Wadesboro is $125 on
property. The total property tax in the
town OF Wadesboro is 1921 2-3 which
makes the poll tax 1885, Besides the poll
tax there is road tax of $3.50, which
makes the total tax of persons of road age
living in the town 1896.
Now the point we make is that it is
nothing less than an outrage to compel a
poor man, that is man who makes his
living by daily manual labor, pay such a
tax as this. The truth is, a man of this
sort simply cannot do it and live and
support family. This class of labor does
not make more than $12 a month, the
year round, and to tax them almost one
twelfth of all they make is the refinement
of cruelty.
Two dollars is as large poll tax as any
man should pay, and the Messenger-Intel-
igencer is heartily in favor of a Consti-
tutional amendment that will remedy the
hardship now being endured in this mat
ter by the poor of the State.

He further advises that colleges should

THE VALUE OF ATHLETICS.

Many old people have grave doubts
about the practical value of athletics.
They do not see wherein they help their
sons and they feel that it detracts from
attention to athletics will cause students
to neglect their books, but proper time
spent in exercise in rational ways will
give clearer mind to master the pre-
scribed course.
DR.. Henry Louis Smith, president of
Davidson College, himself a splendid type
of the scholar and devotee of athletics,
thus gives his conclusions based upon ac-
tual measurements and observations of
the student under his care:
1.-The students taking desultory exer-
else, or none at all. gained pounds each,
those taking regular athletic training
nearly twice as much, though eating the
same fare, and living under the same
circumstances as the first class. The ath-
letes gained nearly an inch and half in
height in months, though averaging
over 21 years old; the others grew less
than half as fast. Each of these thirty
men, on the average, will remain through
life nearly an inch taller than if he had
failed to take this year of regular training.
The increase in lung capacity is equally
permanent and equally remarkable. To
meet pneumonia and consumption, the
Two deadliest enemies of the human or
ganism, these trained young men carry
into life an added lung capacity nearly
twice as great as that of the average stu
dent.

which there is no fog of argument, theory
or sentiment, is it not time for parents
