"Last Monday morning," aaya TV
Lexington Dispatch, “a young man
who gar* his homo at Knoxrilla,
T«nn., and hio ago as t». was arraign
ed in recorder's court on the charge
of loading in the Southern depot The
lad sebmitted, declaring that bo had
boon walking the track of the South
ern in aoaroh of work and wont in tha
depot to stoop when be became tired,
haring do money to hire a bed. He
said his father and mother were both
working in a cotton mill and that they
did not have the money to spare to
pay him oat. so bo will work oat tha
cost# in the case on the county
roads."
And out tbsra on the reads that boy
ia beating rock, doing hard labor and
for days and days ho must toil away,
and for what? Why, because he went
to sloop In the depot. Because the
poor, tired unfortunate son of cotton
mill operatives went to sloop in a de
pot, tha proparty of a groat corpora
tiOki a policeman arrests him—aad,
oh, glory and power! don* you know
it was great to see that policeman
march Up the street with that tried,
hungry scrap of humanity? Don* you
know ha stack out his cheat, walled
hie eyes te see whs was watching Um
as he marched down the street with
his prisoner? Aad don* yea knew the
court ferity strutted when the taw,

Why, that boy could have hired the
buu* rums is the Lexington hotel for
the aigkt for a dollar. Ha eoald have
slept to a fairly good bod all night
for twenty-gve caats—bat ho did aot
have the moaay—and because he dM
aot have a twenty-five cent piece with
which to hire a bed aad his tried eye
