CONCERNING A TOWN LAW The Bible tells us that man is made of dust, but the pedestrain of Greenville, after walking" down the principle business streets of the city would be constrained to believe that man, meaning" the male creatures, come nearer to being made of tobacco juice and spittle than anything else. Of course expectoration is the best sounding word to apply to this nauseating act,but spittle fits it bet ter. While walking down Evans street, especially, little groups of men, may be seen standing in con versation. Meanwhile they are decorating the sidewalks with their everlasting tobacco juice and saliva. Why in the name of "Old Scratch" do men have to go around eternally spitting over the face of this fair land of ours? There is a law on the statute books of Greenville to the effect that any person found guilty of spit ting on the sidewalk is subject to a fine of five dol lars. But nobody has ever been known to be in dicted for this offense, although the law is being violated almost every minute in the day. Of course the town officers are the authorities toj enforce the laws. But the citizens also have aj duty to perform, and it is up to them to report every person they see break the law in this or any other respect. This is the only way in which it! can be enforced and enforced it certainly should ' be. .j In this advanced age (or rather we think it is! advanced) when sanitation and health are being j preached on every hand, our streets are a verit- j able travesty on the word, sanitation? We pay a county health officer to .keep us in good physical trimr toinspect our school children and prevent the spread of contagious diseases. We do this and we do that, and think we. are mak ing" rapid strides toward becoming a perfectly cleansanitary people, while our women on their way to their clubs that urge sanitation and our children wending their way to the schools where it is taught, wade through a sea of tobacco juice and saliva left there by people who should certain ly know better. People of,Greenville will you ever have a clean sanitary, healthy city, while persons of the com munity are allowed to stand on your streetsand indulge in this filthy, germ-breeding habit? Officers of the law, put a stop to it by making! arrests ior tne violations oi tne law: Those of you who do not spit, urge your fellows to think twice before they expectorate and maybe they wont spit at all. And those who do spit: STOP IT! Report of the Condition of ( GREENVILLE BANKING & TRUST, COMPANY At Greenville in the State of North Carolina, at the close of business. September 11th, 1917.
