GENERAL ATTACK ON
WOMEN OF RALEIGH
BY REV. J. W. HAM
Tabernacle Man Says This
City is Infested With
Dope Fiends
SENSATIONAL TALK
TO SUNDAY CROWDS
Minister in Farewell Sermon Says
That Beyond Capitol Nests for
lions An' Made, of Laudanum
Boxes .Many of Congregation in
fer (hat lie Meant West Raleigh.
Tills of Kush for Dope Supply.
Smashes the Cigarette Fiends ami
Says that Habitual Smokers Will
Commit Any Criiric The Cist of
His Remarks.
Rev. J. W. Ham, lit Tabernacle
Baptist Chinch last night, declared,
in the course of a remarkable sermon
on "The Trinity of Man and the
Trinity of Dope," that one whole sec
tion of the city of Raleigh is per
vaded" by the dope habit," the use
of laudanum as a dope being so com
mon that hens' nests ;ue made in
boxes that contained this drug, and
that the use of cigarettes for ten
years would so undermine a man's
nature that he would steal, lie, com
mit murder if it served his purpose,
The preacher used the term "beyond
the capilol" to indicate the section of
the city hi which the dope habit is
so prevalent. In this way many, in
the congregation inferred that he
m "::t!t West Raleigh, one of the best
suctions of the city.
His Farewell Shot.
The remarkable discourse was real
ly Rev, Mr. Ham's farewell sermon
as assistant pastor of the Tabernacle
church, ii being his purpose to de
vote his time in future to evangelis
tic work entirely. His text was that
portion of Genesis in which the devil
was represented as tempting man
through Eve to sin and be like God.
lie declared that the devil still pur
sues litis same policy towards man,
the only difference being in the means
used in efforts to attain the end.
The Town Laudanum Struck.
Tiie trinity of man was represented
to be bis mental, physical and moral
natures, and the trinity of dope was
cocaine, morphine and cigarettes.
The devil on the mountain top urged
Christ to lay aside his human limita
tions and assume the functions of
God on earth. Mr. Ham indulged in
a psychological and metaphysical dis
cussion of man in his relation to the
Creator, and developed the point of
the trinity of man. Then he took up
the trinity of dope as it existed at the
present time. It was at this point
in the sormon that ho referred to his
conviction that much morphine is be
ing used in the city of Raleigh, and
declared that one whole section of
thp city was "laudanum struck," so
much so that even hens' nests were
made of laudanum boxes that had
contained the drug. This section of
the city to which ho referred he de
clared to he "beyond the capitol."
Crowds Kngcr for Dope.
Rev. Mr. Ham said that cocaine
litis come to be used generally by men
and women in their efforts to keep
up in the fast life in social anil busi
ness circles. He charged that ho had
often seen men hurrying down town
mornings to get their dope, and that
women were in many instances simi
larly addicted to it.
Evils of Cigarettes.
When the preacher came to com
ment on the use of cigarettes ho de
clared that they contain arsenic, and
other poisons. He treated the sub
ject from the standpoint of a student
of the physiological effects of the use
of cigarettes on the mental and moral
systems of man. In this connection
be said that the use of cigarettes for
ten years will so undermine a man
as to cause him to commit crime;
thill be would steal, Me, commit adul
tery or murder if it served his pur
pose, lb' said he did not mean to
Bay that every man who smoked
cigarettes did these things, hut a man
who indulged in the habit ten years'
would reach a point where he would
commit these crimes if it served his
purpose.
Mr. Ham Once a Fiend.
Speaking in this connection, he
said that he bad himself been ad
dicted to the evils of cigarettes and
dope, but had for years been com
pletely released from both and had
bpen "going up the hill ever since."
He added that the Lord is fully able
to save victims, who must simply rely
on God for the desire for these things
to be taken away.
Smoking litiincd the Turks.
The speaker said that some years
ago the Turks were a brave, fearless
people, but that the increased indul
gence in cigarettes the highest class
of cigarettes at that had robbed
them of power and strength, until to
day they are a listless, slothful, un
trustworthy people, exercising no in
fluence among the nations.
Ho argued that this example of
what the cigarette will do for a na
tion is typical of the effect on indi
viduals. In conclusion, Rev. Mr. Ham de
clared that North Carolina should
grapple boldly with these dope and
cigarette evils, and follow the exam
ple of Georgia and other states in
prohibiting their sale.

enable the southern producer to hold
their produce, we will work out a plan
whereby the price of farm products
will naturally work higher."

ALL CAPITAL IS TIMID
Officer of Company Says That Noth

nally Decides About Municipal
Ownership of People.
When asked how soon the proposed
.street car line and extension of the
street car and electric light systems
would be completed, one of the officers
of tiie company said today:
"I cannot tell. In making our plans
for the extension of the system, we did
not calculate upon having; to meat the
municipal ownership question. Of
course it would be folly for us to go on
and spend a lot of money on the sys
tem if the city is to force us to sell out
at a ruinous price, or force such a re
duction of rates as to make its opera
tion a losln- business. Matters are in
such shape at present that I cannot
now say what or when extension will
b,. made, if at all. We are able to put
these things through if till' attitude of
the people of ttalelgh is such as to jus

TAFT SEEKS BETTER
TARIFF RELATIONS
(By the Assoc ated Press.)
Berlin, Oct. 22. The announce
ment that Secretary Root has decided
to appoint two tariff experts to visit
Germany and consult with German
customs officials and boards of trade
for the purpose of obtaining material
for possible modifications of admin
istrative features of the American
tariff law which have been the sub
ject of much complaint on the part
of the German exporting interests,
was received in the foreign office here
in the most favorable spirit. The
fact has been that the group of-offl-cials
at the foreign office, dealing
with the subject of the proposed new
commercial arrangement between
Germany and the United States, did
not know precisely what step to take
next in reopening the question,
which, in its normal course, must be
settled by June :;0 next. It is be
lieved here that Secretary Root's de
cision is likely to contribute greatly
to an ultimate understanding on the
subject.
