'".il, a bunch of mad Americans "tv into a Greek cafe up there and "led it up just about like the i iinfornians did those of the Japs in ; .m Francisco. I have thought about these two In cldenta and have come to the conclu ion that the, American, who makea his money and spends it blows it In or throws it to the birds, as It were does not like the thrift of the swarthy foreigner. The Greeks in this and oth er Southern cities, where I go, are industrious. Dollte. agreeable and tirosoerous. Thev seem T; to obey the laws of the land, but do not tum loose their cash. The hoarding of mon ey is their greatest ; sin. Our people as a rule, make money, but they let it ko as -fast as they get it. I do not believe the bad feeling arises from To - cal antipathy.. -;,'..-.,. THE WHITE MANS MISTAKE . The case of the would-be-negro ra pfst in Paw Creek has attracted con siderable attention at home and .abroad, 'The concensus of opinion ia to the effect that Mr. McCall made serious mistake in nermitting a young t buck of a negro to sleep m nia weu- ' Ing, where he could look through the door, or doors, into the sleeping room of the family, A white woman was outraged at Aiken, a C, last year by . a nerro man who slept In her house. The average negro, only two , hundred yeara removed from the aav age, la a dangerous man to have in the , home under such circumstances. Thore have been negro men who cared for white women and children for montli at a time in the absence of the head jf the family, but It Is a dangerous jro; ;,, ositlon. It is as dangerous as playing with a snake, , WHITE CRIMINALS INCREASIN-1 ""White criminals are on the in crease," said an officer of the law yes terday to an Observer man. "I read about them in the papers . and see them about the railway sta tions and in the courts and prison of the land. When we hear of a. thei'i. a highway robbery, or any other Mm crime we cannot say'or. certain iht - negro did it,, for the chances are about six of one and a half-dosen of the other that a white man did it. The - criminal class of whites has moved o . the towns and cities of the South and children of men of bad character may v follow in the footsteps of their fa thers. When auch people were scatter ed over the rural districts they were afraid to commit crime. There is : danger la numbers in this instance." OFFENDERS OF A DAY. 1 Recorder Confronted with an Old- i TUne Docket and DUpo of It in ' . an Old-Time Manner .Several , Bound Over Ctmrged With Retail ing and Gambling homo Cases of " ; Interest. From till nearly noon Justice was dealt out yesterday in the domain wherein Recorder W. M. Smith doth rule. Not quality but quantity was the distinguishing feature of the docket. None . of the cases were of extraor dinary importance in themselves, but "many a mtckle makes muckle" and ll told the indictments made up a good morning's work and furnished divers Ion for the tremendous throng whl.;h filled the court room to overflowing. . The old-fashioned fine of $10 and costs was meted out to each unfortu- nat found guilty of having been drunk, while in the case of retailers, crap-shooters and other law-breakers, the penalties varied, many being held for court in varying; sums. When the court machinery got fair ly In motion Martha Watt, an angular daughter of Ham, rose and came for. ward to Occupy the favored position, where the glare of the limelight beat mercilessly upon her. Martha utood charged with the crime of high lar- rDV in U ( f k muliinn.An.1,.11 "... .... ma ,),M ti i lull, without the consent of the owner, un ' der falso pretenses and several other similar things of evil, of 120 worth of clothes belonging to Mm, Maggie Mui 11s. The colrd woman In question had presented herself at the residence of jsrs. Mums last Monday morning rep resenting herself to be a regular mem ber of the profewlon of waHherwo irten. She was handed a respectable bundle of clothes and departed, to re turn no more. In vain did the inhabi tants of the household w ait and look. " Martha came not; likewise the appar el. Then it was that search was inntl- luieu, locating tne woman but not i the clothe. Col. T. L. Klrkpatrlck rep resented the woman, who waived ex amination and gave bond in the sum Of 150. Will and James Ayers, two brothers, It seemed harl met In iluui ,nn.ho Will was the worse for liquor and got the worse of the encounter. He was fined, along with his brother. 115 for the affray, and paid In addition a $10 fine for having been drunk. The fun they had proved rather costly In the final summing up of thlngn. The case of lvcy Kerr and A. E. Whitaker wan rather peculiar In that : ene case originated in the prlHon cell. The two were incarcerated In the same palatial apartment, being drunk. Soon after VVhltaker got his ycs open yesterday morning he felt about his person and found hitrwelt lacking the sum of $5, which he wis sure he possessed when he entered the lockup. He preferred against hi mate the charge of the theft of the "lver." Kerr was searched. At first the outlook was dark, but perserver ance conquered all things. The bill WU final v found t,, K.. ... , securely , tucked away in Kerr's right ahoe.He said' that Whitaker gave .the money to him. It was not heiievn that he had any Intention of taking the money and he wax aia ih. Attorneys for Henry Illrsh Proceed Ajrslnst J.

J. R. Lemmond, voluntarily withdrew the prosecution and had same dis missed and voluntarily paid all of the costs of the said prosecution. Section 8. That J. R.

Tompkins and a Number of Well, known Physic-Inns Interested Pres byterian Hospital Will he Asked to Join Movement. A number of Charlotte meu, most of whom aie prominent physicians and Burgeons, have inaugurated a move ment to build a new up-to-date and comprehensive general hospital. Sev eral meetings to this end have been held within the last few days and Sat urday afternoon an organization, with Mr. I). A. Tompkins as chairman, wa effected. i esterday afternoon a Joint meeting or the truatees of the Presbyterian Hospital and those in ti rcntcd in the new hospital was held in Mr. Tompkins' ofllte, where a prop, option was made to the trustees of the Presbyterian Hospital to Join the new movement, both as to uub scrlbers to stock and occu pants of the proposed building. The proposition will be communicat ed to the various churches for their confederation. The idea Is that the ors oi me niwpuai could be carried on in a new and modern building bet ter than with the present facilities. The amount of money required to build such a building, as those inter ested propose to erect, has not been determined, but It would not be lens than $75,000 and probably not more than $125,000 for the present. In any event the building will be so coriHtructed as to admit of proper and attractive additions, n the purpose of those concerned to obtain Just as good .facilities for Charlotte as can be nad In any city In the Union. There Is but little, if any doubt that a new commercial hospital will be built and it ls desired that all forces interested be combined in one compra-heiu-lve enterprise.
