Of recent yeara tha record of the police court ahow. an lncreae In the number of namei of yeuthful of fenders. Most ot the . drunkard- or the city are boy under 20 years of age. The tenderloin dlatrlcte ' teem with youngsters Juat ; out of -short panta. These itateraenu may aeem rash, bat men who aee Charlotte by day and by night know that they are largely true. Within the last week several notorious case have . been tried before the recorder and a, ma jority of the witnesses aummoned art not 21 year of age. There is a num ber of small boy farmed out In the county, where they work for farmer, while they undergo a process of re-, formation. If the State had a well regulated . reformatory, - Recorder Bhannonhouse would know what to do with a certain class of youthful offenders. The number of young white men who appear before the city court Is growing apace. If every member of the present Legislature could attend the recorder's court of this city, he would be willing to strain a point to establish a home Tor these tender offenders. Readers of The Observer will recall the name of Cleveland Donaldson. At the age of 1 2 years this boy was charged with stealing. Later, it was highway robbery. At first he was turn ed a loose and told to go and offend no more, but finally the State had to take him In hand. He was sent to the chalngang with older and more ex perienced criminals. Tiring of the confinement of th convict camp life and the monotony ef convict stripes, he escaped, stealing a county mule to fly away on, and returned to his mean ness. Cleve Is not a bad looking boy. He has bright eyes, fair skin, curly hair and ready wIL A reformatory might have saved him. It Is said by his friends that he has reformed him self. This may be, true, but the day will never come that his enemies do not point to his ankles and say: "See the marks of the shackles!" He mav marry, raise a family and do well, but his children will be pointed at as the sons and daughters of a rogue. The sins of the fathers are visited upon the children even unto the third and fourth generation. It was true In the days of Moses and It Is true to-day. ChA'o la not the only hoy. There are othera who might be named. The Rood women of North Carolina are fighting for a worthy cause. Th(y expect to win. The representallvea of this county are Instructed for a reformatory. Mecklenburg led In declaring herseir free and independent from Kngland. In securing good roads. In establishing schools, in adopting the fence lnw, nnd now her people are anxious to try a reformatory in Home form or another. Therefore Charlotte citi zens are Interested In the reformatory talk at HalelKh.
