, ' FILTH IN THE PRESS.
President W. L. Poteat of Wake
' Torrest Collect in au address this
week before the Baptist General Asso
elation, of Virginia attacked modern
journalism. "Playing up the narties of
crime in type an inch high, giving
vicious details of court proceeding?
from which courts have excluded boys,
and carrying these details into the
-home." he declared, "the modern
newspaper drains the bewers of civi
Jization and poisons the fountains of
morality."
It i undoubtedly a fact that there
is much in almost every issue of the
average newspaper to read which doesn't
Jo anybody, young or old, any good.
"Let a homicide or murder growing out
of impurity occur anywhere in th
country and the press associations wil
carry full details day after day as the
trial proceeds. YYe have one in mind
flow, occurring at Columbus, Ohio,
which hus'been followed with amaziny
detail. "
Now this sort of stuff is wh.it t 'u
people want. At Columbus this week
women have stood on window sill-, in
order to witness the proceedings. The
jjrinted details are greedily absorbed
l.y a large proportion of the reading
public.
Newspapers are anxious to "be finan
cially successful. So they meet the
-demand for the salacious stuff to which
wr are referring. Hence it rather looks
as if Dr. Poteat ought to(attack the
reading public instead of the news
papers. However, we notice that the bulk
of the filthy details in newspapers
comes in the form of press dispatches.
"Thifi Are sent out by a few associations.
JkAcnho are interested in improving
the ttyie of the newspapers might go to
workii'on the managers of these asso
ciations and get them aroused to the
, necessity of sending out less obicction
f
:-ltb!e matter."
MAKES A SUGGESTION.
If that proposed bond issue is ever
roted and the improvement of roads
on a large scale is undertaken in Craven
county, said a Journal subscriber
yesterday, 1 hope that the roads in
this county will be straightened be
iore they are improved. This would
mean, the gentleman continued, a
saving ,in cost that would be well
"worth while besides . shortening the
distance between points.
There is some, considerable time in
which to think about the proposed
change in the routes of the county
.roads, but the idea advanced is well
"worth attention. A permanent road
system for the county, when it is under
lakPh, as it certainly will be sooner or
'3ater. should be very carefully planned,
"witH due regard for all the points in
. '"wolved.
MUNICIPAL OR PRIVATE OWNER

of the news that a private cor
ponition, the Carolina Power and

the -occasion' of . much comment and

FOR TWENTY YEARS'.
(Fairbrother's Everything)
For twenty years the Keeley In
stitute has been established in Greens
boro, and its twentieth year is going to
be its record breaking year. More
men are being treated at Keeley to
day than ever iu its history. Colonel
VV. H. Osborn who has been the presi
dent of the Institute for almost all
that tjme certainly has cause to con
gratulate himself, affd to be congrat
ulated on the good he has done.
The Keeley Cure has proven a
success, and tnousanas 01 men wno
have graduated at Keeley willingly
bear witness o the fact. - There are
in the State of North Carolina hun
dreds of men who feel that Keeley not
only saved their lives but prolonged
their lives. They are the most success
ful and influential of our citizens.
There is no town in North Carolina
but what has its Keeley graduates.
In some towns there are dozens of
them men who were permanently
and effectually cured five, ten, fifteen
and twenty years ago. This wonder
ful record is one to be proud of.
The man who feels that he wants to
quit drinking whiskey knows that the
Keeley treatment will cure' him. Men
-not addicted to the habit of whiskey
drinking wonder why other men con
tinuc to drink year after year and refuse
to take advantage of th(t Keeley Cure
It is because of a false pride; because
of the general belief of every man who
drinks to excess that he dosen t ned
the treatment that he can quit if, Tie
wants to. But he-knowb he can'tr
he knows he has tried it time and again
but a false pride keeps him away.
Those who have tried the Keeley
treatment will tell you that it is a
success. Some men have taken the
cure and returned to their cups but
every man returning will tell you that
he returned simply because the crowd
was with was drinking; just be'
cause he felt he could drink again
but no man will tflll you that he ever
had a desire for Vtrone drink after
taking the wonderful Cure.
This being the Twentieth Anniver
sary of the establishment of the Greens
boro Keeley Institute, the only one in
North Carolina, all the men who have
been cured there; who owe their
ife to quitting drink, should make it
a point in this year to induce at least
one unfortunate to take advantage of
he certain benefits offered .by the
Greensboro Keeley Insittute. It is
a' duty. you. owe your fellow brother, it
would be a really nice thing to do, and
certainly the man who has tried it Out
and knows what he is talking about is
the man to tell his wayward brother
about what ca n be done. - '
