THIS YOUNG Mill IS HlfiH ROLLER Forged Checks and Did Other Naughty Tricks at Greens boro and The Police there Want Him NEGROES LEAVING CHARLOTTE. HIS STAY IN THIS CITY WAS A VERY SHORT ONE Registered at the Buford On Friday Night and took first Train for South Saturday Morning The police are on the look-out for one J. C. Harrington who is wanted in Greensboro for any amount of crook ed dealing. Harrington arrived in Charlotte last Friday night shortly after 10 o'clock aa.l went to the Buford where he was assigned a room. He remained at the Buford until Saturday about the noon hour when he left on a south bound train. For what point, he did not inti mate to any one at the hotel. The fol- h.wing story of the young mans crook- i ed dealings in Greensboro is from the Telegram of that city: i '"Last Monday a week ago a nice looking young man arrived in the city f and put up at the Ben bow hotel, regis- tering as J. C. Hcrrington, of New York. He soon looked up a member of j the Young Men's Business Association and nnrouneed himself as being trom New York and representing several ! capitalists who wished to locate a large ; knitting mill in this State, a mill that S would cost about $1. "0.000 and work t about six hundred hands. He produced ; letters from different prominent men ! and well known capitalists as to ht.-. j standing, etc. He was taken around and ; introduced to the different real estate ' men in the city, the Southern Loan and ; Trust Company showing him what ;. property tney baii on band that would be well suited for the mill he wished to locate. "He was well pleased with the place. and expressed himself as believing it very likely the mill would be located here. He said he had run a little shor of money and got the Southern Loan and Trust Company to cash a draft fo 50 drawn on his own account at thb Chirnical Bank, of New York. When the draft reached New York the Chem ical Bank at once telegraphed back here that the draft was worthless as the said J. C. Harrington had no money deposited there. Friday afternoon Har rington went to the Vanstory Clothing Co., and ordered two suits of clothes sent up to the Benbow for him to. try cn and see if he could get a fit. The suits were sent and that was the last seen of them. They were worth about .$.50. Harrington left Friday night for Charlotte and it is not known where he went from that place. He told the people here that he expected to go from here to Augusta, Ga., and in Charlotte he is said to have stated he was going to Birmingham, Ala. "Efforts are being made to locate him but thus far have proved unsuccessful. "Mr. Roland Harris, the clerk at the i Benbow, says Harrington got a large ' amount of mail while at the hotel, and he noticed the neads on the envelopes were from different banks and large j business firms." Col. A. L. Smith Writes to the Mayor Concerning the Exodus. ! For the past two months a large ! number of negro men have left Char i lotte to seek employment elsewhere. These have been lured away from this city through the startling stories told them by industrial agents representing i certain large landed interests in the South. For the most part the heads of fam ilies have gone South with the under standing that they are to send for their families later cn. In many instances and in fact, most all cases, the men have left their families in a destitute condition. The startling tales about Work and high wages have not materi alized, therefore the families left be hind are the sufferers. - In connection with the above Mayor I P. M. Biown received the following i letter this morning from Co!. A. L. i Smith. It is as follows: ! Hon. P. M. Brown, ! Mayor Charlotte. j Dear Sir: There is a matter which I ; think should be called to your attea- . lion, the wholesale exodus of the able bodied negro men from our city. Seve ral cars have left since the first of January, nearly all of those who work ed at the cotton press and around it. The point to be considered is they are leavinz all the women and i hi! lien ; behind, to depend on themselves for; support, which means the good people ; will have it to do. It is a rare case ' when they send anything back to their . lanuhes. I get it trom those vvno have ; been away and returned, that ! spend their wages in gamblitu s drinking. It looks as though they should be required to take their fami l lies with them, when they leave here ! to work elsewhere. Two women came in last week trom Atlanta, tneir nus bancis sending them back here to live, while they are working in Atlanta. I simply give you this information for your consideration. Yours verv trulv, A. L. SMITH. A large number of the best working i colored men have been tempted by the j offers of these industrial agents. Some i (have forsaken their families and have I gone, tne wives ana ennnren, no not j where. I The letter of Col. Smith is printed ; for the purpose of information to i other colored men who are contemplat- ing accepting the offers made by -these j i agents. I j It will be well :or the colored peopla ; to thoroughly investigate the offers j i and not. take the word of these agents ! (for, it is a known fact tnat their mea ! is to tempt the negroes and they are I not careful to explain the hardships ' that follow an excel us of people to new ! and untried fields. i .

FARMER RELIEVED EAOY MONEY Went to Spend the Night With Friend and when He Awoke His Available Cash Was Missing PARKER NOT TO OPPOSE HILL. Mr. J. F. McManus. a young farmer ' President. Politician Says Judge Will Not Run If the Ex-Governor Does. Buffalo. N. Y.. Feb. 27. Frank Campbell chairman of the Democratic State Committee, was in this city Mon day. . He was asked how he and the ? ff organization stood on Parker for of the Clear Creek section, was robbed of $40 in money last night. Mr. McManus came to Charlotte yes terday and disposed of a bale of cotton. He received fcr the same 10 cents a poiwid, the top price. Mr. McManus came to Charlotte for a double purpose. Not only did he wish to dispose of his cotton, but his other business was to move Mr. Harvey Cook's family to Clear Creek. Mr. Cook is in charge of a school at Hickory Grove and lives in the Belmont settle ment. He goes to Hickory Grove every school day to attend to his duties. Last night Mr. McManus went to Mr. Cook's house to spend the night. He took with him his money that he had received for his cotton. He had one $10 bill, six $5 bills and some small change. The room in which Mr. McManus slept was occupied by three other men. These were Mr. D. M. Clay and son, and Mr. Harvey Cook. Sometime during the night Mr. Cook awoke and found the door to the room was open. Thinking that it had net been securely latched he got up and closed it and he says he did not think anything more of the incident until Mr. McManus got up this morning and ascertained that his purse with the paper money in it, was missing. He immediately made his loss known to Mr. Cook who recalled the incident of the open door. Mr. D. M. Clay, anorhe- occupant of the room, had $3.15 in silver in his rocket when he retired last night. This, also, was missing. As soon as possible Messrs. McManus and Clay reported the matter to the ; police, 'officer Johnston went out to j Mr. Cook's home and investigated. Mr. j Ccok had gone to his school at Hickory j Grove and the officer could not see him. Mr. McManus is a hard working, in dustrious farmer and his loss is a seri ous one. Chief Irwin and his men will do all in their power to locate the lost money. 'If David B. Hill is a candidate Judge Parker will not be a candidate President," said Chairman Camp bell. "If Hill is a candidate everybody will be for Hill. Time will develop whether Mr. Hill is a candidate. It is too early new." "What if Hill and Parker both are candidates?" "That will not he," said Chairman Campbell. "As I just said, if Hill be comes a candidate Judge Parker will not be a candidate. That is certain." ACCUSED OF TAKING $2,000,000.
