ed valuation of real estate in Peters,

We had lot of self-governors left
there whom we had to take care Of in

whole truth and say that the was en-

The conclusion would be that we
had SO many criminals We had to en-
large the jail to take care Of them.
Let's see about that. In 1903. the
last year of the saloons, We had
ninety-Awe cases on the. docket and
thirty eight In jail In 1918 we had
forty-six cases and fourteen in Jail
1905 was the last year of local option.
There were four terms of court. AT
the first term we had EOS case and
forty in Jail. The next term 245 cases
and sixty-seven In Jail. The third
term, 265 cases and forty in Jail
The last term $50 cases and seventy
one in jail. total for the year OF

Now let's compare the first year

PARIS FEARING SPIES

Paris. Sept. 1s.-~The precautions be-

an order which went into effect today
forbidding automobiles TO leave Paris

Journalists between Paris and Bor-

The order Is believed TO have re-

which have been driven rapidly about
the outskirts OF Paris recently.
The occupants of the machines re-
fused to reply to the challenges OF

positive that the two machines con-

of his work while chairman. He also
impressed upon the members OF the
club that II had made good progress
during the past year, but things az
greater importance were soon to come
up before them. and that II was his
wish that the organization make even
better progress than heretofore win
even better results,
Chairman Anderson, of the trans
portation committee, told the cluo
about the street car service on the
Souhside He said hat while 1t was
improved a little, 1t could be mun1
better. Upon a motion made by Mr.,
Duval the club adopted a resolution
relative to a course of action as to
transportation matters. 1t decided
that the club would wait until tn,
completion Of the Fourteenth street
problem before making any movc
against the street car company In
the blanket franchise, whic',, 1t Is ex-
pected, will be agreed upon between
the company and the city, it is con-

ing the recommendation of a commit

request for a new graded and Junior

S19 cases and 127 in jail. Why.didnt
they tell the whole truth and show
that crime under prohibition was less
than under local option?
Crime Greatly Decreased.
The second charge they make
against Durham Is t.lat crime has an
increased. Here / speak again not
from what l believe, but from actual
facts. The record of the Durham
court show that In 1903, the last year
of their beautiful harrooms there
were 2.051 arrests and s27 DRINKS,
while In 1914 after the city had
doubled In population and the court
given enlarged jurisdiction. there
were only 1900 arrests and 30s
DRINKS. The average number OF
DRINKS in Durham for the last hve
years tlas been little over three hun
dred, while the average for the last
two years under open barrooms was
over 500. and the 800 now are the
same old ones over and over again.
We aren't raising a new record OF
drunkards from our boys, It Is just
those who have the habit.
They talk about our taxes. but the
heaviest increase In taxes came under
their beautiful barrooms. From

"a cents to s1.14, while in thirteen
years, from 1901 to 1914, under pro-

prohibition, the tax rate has increased
from s1.14 to $i.17, only three cents.
In thirteen years. as against twenty
