Says Home Life Is To Blame For Crime HALIFAX, Aug. 11.?Improper home training, lack of education, popular indifference to law observance, judicial lenience, and increasing temptations in the way of young boys were blamed for the alarming shift or crime irom tne adult to the youthful element of society by Judge N. A. Sinclair in his charge to the grand jury, opening the August term of Halifax superior court here today. "Boys today grow up among blind tigers, poison liquor and slot machines," said the judge. "With such temptations in the way, the glamor of bravado that seems to surround the young criminal in the eyes of society, and the lenience of juries in dealing with youthful offenders, it is little wonder that the majority of offenses which years ago were dared only by mature and hardened criminals are committed now by boys as young as 15 years," he continued. Laws should be enforced whether they are liked or not, the judge declared, and only through a wholesome respect for the law as a sacred principle of democracy can we hope to reduce the mounting toll of crime. Such respect can best be inculcated in youth by proper education, and to this end, he asserted, the grand jury should seek to have every violation of the compulsory school law reported and dealt with. Slot machines and other forms of gambling came in for their share of denunciation in uie the jury being told that it could, by vigilant investigation, remove this evil from the county. Vagrancy, another incentive to law breaking, was called to the attention of the jury with recommendations that all such cases be looked into thoroughly. "The maudlin sentimentality which inclines juries and judges to deal lightly with adolescent criminals furnishes an irresistible invitation to the youthful offender to go out and repeat the offense, simply to see if he can get away with it," he continued. "All men are equal before the law, and all violators thereof should be dealt with alike, regardless of age. The boy who commits a crime deserves to take his medicine just as an older man would be required to do," Judge vicrnrnuslv. I tsuicuiii uuvm ? .Q m J How Could This Wife Love Her Husband?

I MOST OF THE NEWS ALL THE TIME I NUMBER 33 NEGRO TEACHER SUES J. E. ALLEN j Emma B. Williams Claims She Was Paid Less Than State Law Provided $200 JUDGMENT ASKED Claiming that she was paid $60 a month for a number of years when she was entitled to $70 under the state scheciule, Emma B. Williams, former negro teacher of Baltimore school near Warrenton, Monday afternoon sued Superin tendent J. Edward Allen for the sum of $200. The case was heard In the court room at Warrenton before less than half a dozen spectators. Superintendent Allen was represented by Frank H. Gibbs of Warrenton, Emma Williams by Will Yarborough of Louisburg. The local school man exhibited the contract signed by Emma Williams in which she agreed to teach for the sum of $60 a month. The plaintiff did not deny this, but sought to establish through her attorney mat the State school law was mandatory when It said that Class B elementary teachers should receive a minimum salary of $70 a month, that the $60 contract was therefore illegal and that she was entitled to collect the difference. This was denied by Mr. Allen who said that she was employed under the county scale and that the board of education was clearly in its right in setting this scale of pay for this class of teachers. Various sections of school law were quoted by the attorneys and records were brought upstairs from the office of the superintendent. Magistrate Ellington confessed that he did not feel competent to settle the question and with the remark that "I know that the case , wib be appealed, and I prefer that a higher court pass upon the matter," gave Emma B. Williams a judgment in the sum of $200. An , appeal to Superior court was noted v by Attorney Gibbs.
