Albermarle, March 14,
-The community aroundNew
London and the many ac
quanintances generally throu
ghout the county of J. E.
Crook are very much inter
ested in his wherebouts, aa he
mysteriously disappeared a
bout three weeks ago and no
trace whatever has been
learned of him since. It
seems that about three weeks
ago Jyf r. Crook, who i3 a dealer
in lumber and spends quite a
lot of his time away from
home, addressed a letter to his
wife from Lumberton stating
that he was on his way home
aud would spend that night
in Charlotte arriving home
about 10 o'clock the next day.
Several days passed and Mr.
Crook did not return and
some investigation was made
by Mrs. Crook and friends
priv itely to learn that he did
arrive in Charlotte on the
night specified and registered
at one of the hotels there. It
was learned that he left a
portion of his baggaga in the
room where he was not found.
Mr Crook ii a rather promi
nent citizen of this county,
being a prosperous farmer,
lumber dealer, and having
for a number of years served
as President of the Farmer's
Union of Stanly county.
There are many theories as to
his disappearance, but all of
them are mere speculations.
There are no indications that
he has commited suicide as hib
business seems to have been
in fair shap and no known
reason exists for an act of
that k-'nd.
It is said jtfjat .hdoc-othiife'
only carried with him $200,
and it would therefore appear
that he has hardly decided to
purposely make his disap
pearance and many think
that he has possibly been rob
bed and murdered.

HOPES TO SEE WORK-BOUSE CUTOUT.
Cirresitndint Hipes to See Commissioners
let Wisely in Reari to Discontinuing It.
Salisbury, R-&, .Fe 26. In
regard to the work house I think
the county commissioners will do
a great day's wtrk for the couutv
if they should see fit to discon
tinue that place .they call work
house, but better known in this
section as play house where the
people see. what is going on
there. This institution as it is
called is nothing more than a
recruiting place t feed and rest
-fi tn i'moIq tf-., small crlmai
such as low class of women from
the dirty holes of the city. Aa
the writer of an article in last
week's issue of the Herald said
in opposing the proposed closing
of the work house, I want tbe
public to know this does not
voice the sentiment of people in
St Paul's community,, for if it
were left to a vote of the citizens
in this community this institution
would not be left in this section
no longer than a snow ball would
last in a red hot fire. We think
it is a disgrace to this community
instead of being a credit to it.
We have a jail and a chain
gang in this connty and the
proper thing to do with such a
class of criminals is to put them
in jail and the boys on the gang.
Those that are too young have
their parents to give, them a good
whipping and they lill not borne
for another soon . instead of this
they are sent tathe rest up
house, on a pubw highway
where we can see njij well they
are cared for, and haying a good
time sitting around-:- This cer
tainly is not encoufjiging to our
young people for tfhey have got
to work much harder" for their
living than theserwttinals who
are placed Ihejre fo&,jBOne $ crime
A s- for this institution becom
ing self-su-itainiug is a question
which is not worth discussing,
for there is nothing to it. The
biggest thing-1 see to this insti
tution is the salary that the
superintendent and guard draw.
If it has ever been any benefit to
the county or community I have
not seen it. and I don't think
anybody else has, unless he was
drawing a salary from the coun
ty. I hope that the County Com
missioners will investigate this
place carefully and act according
ly, see what it is costing the
county to maintain three or four
degraded women and four or five
worthless boys, then see what
this small bunch of criminals is
producing for the county.
If we consider that we are supr
porting this bunch of dirty crim
inals out of our tax money, which
everybody helps to pay, and that
they are spending money that is
much needed at home by the
poorer class, many women and
children have worked hard for
money to help pay taxes which
at the same time is needed at
home for clothes, etci, jind I hope
and trust that this board of coun
ty commissioners will act as they
see best and not be led by a few.
