I Ihs DIC Mlssy
The Federal law regulating the
1An Of narcotics went into effect
March i. The effects Of the dc
pfivation resulting are Just now
coming into evidence. This is
because Of the fact that many
ueers Of drugs supplied them
sslveG long aperiod as pos
sibls before the law went into op-
Grafton. These stored up sup
plies have been about exhausted,
and the misery Of human wrecks
is coming to public notice. Mrs.
William X. Vanderbilt, who has
for . long time been engaged in
9 fight for the suppression OF the
drug evil in New York City, makes
report through her agent, MIR.
Ernest X. Coulter, OF charming
conditions now prevailing in the
big city. In The Sun Mr.. Coulter
gives account Of many people,
crased through deprivation OF
cocaine, heroin and other mar.
cotics, committing acts of vic.
lence and filing the city's 'sprisons
and hospitals to the crippling.
point" Mr.. Coulter does not be-
lieve the people Of New York rea-
lize the seriousness of the situa-
ton. ut must be understood, ;"
hs says, "that these men who
rob, assault and kill to get NOR
phins or some similar drug are
insane. They are the most dan
gerous kind Of lunatics when the
craving comes over them. The
drug means more to them than
lie; and they will never hesitate
tosacriHce lives Others and their
own-to gst the stuff" The city
is up against tagreatproblem. It
is estimated thatin order to deal
with the drug cases New York
VIII have to spend 100000 on
its inebriety farm at Warwick
and &175, coo on itscity prisons.
The trouble in New York, as per,
haps in other large cities; is that
no provision was made to care
for q situation bound to; result
from the enforcement Of the law. ]
Dependence was made solely on
the hospitals, but these institu- |
tons proved totally inadequate
to handle the vast numbers 81
drug habitues applying, or to
keep such cases asthey were able
to take q sufficient length Of time.
Meanwhile, q tremendous busi-
ness has sprung up ia selling fake !
drug cures and substitutes. The
rise in the price OF drugs is an in.
teresting incidental. The sun re:
ports an increase Of as much as
1000 per cent. Opium hasgone
from, IS and $40 for q six ounc
can to $35 and $55. Cocaine is
now bringing $22 an ounce where
it formerly cost 50. Heroin, or
morphine diacetyl, costs six times
its former price. The morphine
user pays IS for a supply that
usually cost 25 cents -Charlotte

weeks, | have sold 10 lots, two village
properties, and four farms, and four or
five houses and lots are under sale.

able to the trade They believe they
have just what the trade needs, and
the general condition of the cigar in
dustry, even in our own district, is
such that the tobacco here, the 1911 at
all events, ought to be selling freely.
1t is hard to make the trade at large
believe that there is merit in any of the
1909 packing, yet there is great deal
that would prove a desirable article.
Some of our own manufacturers are
using it. giving it treatment of the
proper kind, and the cigars turned out
are good.
Prices are low, some Of the 1909 hav-
ing been sold as low as nine cents. The
choice lots bring more of course, but
even so it is to be had cheap. Nobody
has anything to say against the 1911
packing, yet the sales of these goods
also hang fire, even at prices ranging
from fourteen to sixteen cents, with
fifteen cents as an average price. TAX
ing the packing as whole, compare
lively little of it has been sold yet.
