JARVIS ON THE ETERNAL CONFLICT That is KaalDfl Between the Sch&nl- Room and tbe Bar-Eoon That is tbe Reason for Nay Election. There is an eternal conflict be tween the school-room and the bar room. The schcoi-room makes men. the bar-room destroys them. The school-room takes the child and trains him to a useful life. The bar-room takes the boy and trains him to a life of wrong-doing. The school room fills the home with bright, hap py boys and girls. The bar-rocm fills it with ignorant, aimless, law less inmates. The school-house fills the pulpit with educated, eloquent ministers of the gospel and pews with godly men and women. The still- house fills the jails and penitentiaries with criminals and murderers. The school-room sends men to the Legis lature, to the bench, and the execu tive office. The bar-room sends them to the scaffold and hell. The school room gives to the community an intel ligent, thrifty, enterprising, refined manhood and womanhood. The bar room gives to it a thriftless, lawless, ianorant, worthless citizenship. The school-room carries light and know ledge into the home and community. The bar-room carries darkness and sorrow and death into the home and the community. The school-room leads to higher and better things. The bar-room leads to lower and baser things.- The school-room stands for the good, the bar-room for the bad. The people that multiply and re plenish the school-roorr.s ziid destroy the bar-rooms a;e building for their posterity a future that v.-i!l gr&w brighter and crreater as they continue to multiply and replenish the school room and utterly desirov-the last trail of the bar-room. The pc&ple of North Carolina have made won derful strides in the last few years in multiplying the school-rooms and in destroying the bar-rooms, but the dnal conflict is just before them. .On the 26th of May, 1903, tha final bat tle is to be fought. Shall the school room or the bar-room triumph? On that day every citizen must stand with the school-room or the bar room. He must stand for the work of the school-room or the work of the bar-room. There 13 no middle ground. The election is to be a State elec tion, and the issue involved appeals to every citizen in every section. The cry comes from the friends of tbe school-room, from those who would give the State a strong, great, noble citizenship, for protection from the curse of drunkenness. This cry should be heard and answered by every lover of his fellow-men, no matter where his home may be. While North Carolina is divided into counties and towns and town ships, yet these make the State. The good of every section should be the aim of every citizen. If the people m any city or town have rid them selves of the curse of the whiskey traffic and have found peace and prof it in it, they should beat the bailot box on the day of the election and vote to confer a similar blessing up on their fellow-citizens in every oth or section. The time was when the different sections of the State were separated from each other by long distance and time. To go from one extreme to the other was a long, tiresome jour ney, and but "few attempted it. Now it is easy and enjoyable, and all the men of the East and men of the West often meet and shake hands. The time was when it took a longtime to get news from Currituck to Chero kee, from Wilmington to Asheville. Nov the citizens of these once re mote communities can converse with each other as if they lived by the side of each other. The railroad,telegraph and the telephone have annihilated space snd time, and made us one psople in all our aspirations, plans and purposes, to become a great people and a great State. The peo ple of one county can not be indiffer ent to the welfare of the people in another county. Hence, I can confi dently appeal to the friends of the school-room and the enemies of the bar-room in every section of the State to be at the ballot-box on the 26th day of May and vote against the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors in North Carolina. I use the term bar-room to represent every means for the sale and traffic in li quor, and I earnestly appeal to the people to put an end to the traffic. no matter tinder what name or guise it may be carried on. A favorite argument with those who want to stand with ihe bar room, but who try to give some ex cuse for so doing, is that prohibition dies not prohibit. Oh, they say, if prohibition really prohibited they would vote for it. This argument is not sincere. Those who use it do so because they are ashamed to stand for the bar-room with all its horrors and evils without some cloak to hide behind. If they are sincere, wiry do they not say the same thing about other prohibition laws? We have had a law against stealing which has been our statute books for ages, and yet some men steal. Our statute books are full of prohibition law? which are violated nearly every day. Do we hear those men say these do not prohibit, and therefore let them be repealed? Nay, verily. It is only when it is proposed to prohibit by law something of the wreck and ruin produced by the sale of whiskey that we hear the cry the probation does not prohibit. I now propose, very briefly, to show that prohibition does prohibit not absolutely, but largely and beneficially. In the first place I re mark that no human law is perfect in its construction or execution. We have to take all law with its limita tions, but the law -which prohibits the manufacture and sale of intoxi cating liquor CAN BE MADE as efficient as any other law if the peo ple will it. In the next place, I re mark that we are more or less crea tures of habit.' If we have the habit of going to bed at 9 o'clock, when 9 o'clock comes a sleepy feeling creeps upon ,us. If we get out when 6 o'clock comes, wo become wakeful. If 12 o'clock be cur dinner hour, when noon comes, hunger comes with it. J. even contract trie fiii ty. ill thy co, and when the habit gets a good hold upon them they arc never satis fied except when they have a wad of the stuff in their mouth. So with drinking. It is largely a habit. The man who lias the habit wants his drink at the usual hour. The man who is free from the habit doe3 not want it. Now, anything that tends to get men out of the habit is use ful. As you make it more and more difficult to get liquor you more and more get men out of the habit of using it. M men can't get it they can't use it, and if the get out of r.he habit of using it they soon cease to want it. And I submit that pro hibition makes it difficult, if not im possible, for that very class of men to get whiskey who can ill afford 1o waste their hard earnings and scanty means in somethiag that can do them no good. After all, the effective ness of prohibition, like all other prohibitory laws, depends upon the local authorities. If we have sheriffs and constables and police and magis trates who are in sympathy with blind tigers, the blind tigers will flourish. If these officers are in en mity with the blind tiger and in full sympathy with a rigid enforcement of the law, the blind tiger will soon seek other fields for his develish op erations. Hence the necessity for a great big majority for prohibition. Let us make it so large that the officers of the law will know that the people are in earnest and that they mean to see the law enforced. Let us make it so big that the wretch who would engage in the illicit man ufacture or sale of liquor will know that there is no hiding place for him in North Carolina, and that, if he would engage in his wicked business he must go beyond her borders. Asheville Has Awfui Tragedy. (Anhevflle Dispttch to Raletgh News and Obser ver 15ih) While gaily playing a jig at a pia no in the reception room of the Nor mal and Collegiate Institute this af ternoon about 5 o'clock, Miss Nell Swinney, a student at that institution, was shot and seriously if not fatally injured by her father, Dr. O.C. Swin ney, who, after firing three shots at the girl, turned the weapon on him self and sent a bullet crashing into his brain, falling dead at the feet of the daughter he had attempted to murder. The tragedy created intense excitement at the scnool,where prob ably four hundred young women are in attendance. Dr. Swinney, it is said, .became enraged at some school girl prank of his daughter. Dr. Swinney was a prominent phy sician in Pennsylvania a until he came to North Carolina a few years ago. It 13 thought that his mind was de ranged at tho time of the tragedy.

Fast Automobiles Destroying The World's Gcod Reads. INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS IN OCTOCER Called by France to Oiscnss This Seri ous Condition National Read Of fice Will Represented. The Office of Public Roads cf the United States Department of Agri culture has recently been conducting a series of very interesting experi ments to learn the amount of dam age done to the rock surface thoroughfares by automobiles. The results prove that the modern fast moving motor car is the greatest menace to macadam roads that has ever made its appearance. On some stretches of thorough fare, especially in New England, where many broad and smooth roads have been constructed, the retro gression is not less than 40 per cent and it has been forced upon the Di rector of the Office of Public Roads and upon many highway engineers that if some plan is not speedily de vised for overcoming the bad effects of men's latest and most sensational mode of land transportation, the monetary loss will be stupendous and the gocd work of many years will go for naught. It is not only in America that thi? j condition prevails. ' The men of Eng- i land, France, Germany, Holland,' Belgium and other countries of the old woild where hard surfaced high ways are appreciated have also learned that the big soft rubber tires of the automobile are doing an almost incredible amount of harm . France has officially taken cogni zance of the condition and has called an International Congress to meet at Paris on October il to discuss plans for saving the roads, while in no way interfering with the develop ment of the automobile, for no scientist will cordemn one worthy civilizing influence because it tem porally conflicts with another. He will merely admit that a new condi tion has arisen anJ then set on foot an investigation with the idea of mastering it. To many it may seem beyond be lief that a pneumatic rubber tire can work any injury to a road corn- nosed of bits of crushed flint rock, but it becomes plain when the theory of such roads is explained. The macadam road, named after John Louden Macadam of Ayr, Scotland, who was for years highway surveyor of Bristol, was first laid down by the eminent French road engineer Tresauget of Limoges, who wisely figured that slowly moving iron tired waeons would crush dust particles from the stone3 of the roads's sur face; that those particles would be constantly sifted between the inter stices of the large stones; that every passing wagon would crush them firmer into all ruts and inequalities; that rains would aid and the ulti mate result would be a smooth sur face, water-shedding highway. Tresaught planned wisely; Mac Adam came two decades later and made a slight change in the laying of the road foundation and gave to such thoroughfares his name. For a century and a quarter the wisdom of the road engineers of Limoges and Ayr was justified. Then arose a condition tney naa never ngurea on; a fast moving vehicle running on. broad soft tires. . The roads be gan to suffer at once for the follow ing reasons: The rubber tire, being soft, creates no rock dust itself as does the iron tire of a wagon, and the very life of these roads demands a constant supply of that material. It is the surface binder that keeps the road smooth; cracks filled in; that maintains the evenness and binds the rubble stones into one im-' pervious mass, ivery iron ureu wheel doe3 its own small quota of good by acting as a rock dust maker and a miniature road roller. The auto whirring along at dizzy speed simply flattened its tires against the ground as it sped and the tractive force so exerted hurled the precious rock dust into the air and f rdm there it wa3 swept it to the adjacent "farms and lawns in blinding clouds. So pronounced was the dust nuisance created in many portions of the country that real es tate decreased in value to an appre ciable extent and farmers complain ed that the ever-increasing dust on their fields, vines and trees made it impossible for them to sell their har vests at a3 good prices as formerly. When these conditions had been established by scientifically gatherd data the Director of the Office of Public Roads set on foot numerous investigations and ordered many ex periments; the results of which il: i' i believed will ultimately prove thej automobile to be a great benefactor, j for in the struggle to overcome the conditions created highway engi neers must do one or two th!r.;; find a road surfacing materia! wH;vi makes no dust and need3 no dust to maintain it3 integrity, or discover a -.A r ii : iu. .1 . the roads already laid. When that is done one of the greatest problems of the centuries will have been i solved and humanity will have cain - ed one of the greatest blessings im- donate review of the objections agineable.

To the time of present writing no dust-proof road surface material cheap enough for use in country dis tricts has been found, and the ex periments now proceeding are there fere along the second line; the con trolling of the dust by various melh-! ods of spraying and by the-use o irj t j . umuer materials, in seme sections, especially through the great frr.it, belts of California, splendid succ-:,: in dust suppression baa been att: ir. ed by spraying the dirt roads v.ith oils possessing asphalt?.' bails.
