REPORTS COMING BACK
Experience of Two Southern Negroes
in New York.
Monroe Journal.
i George Johnson, colored, heard about
; tile wonders of New York, where white
people called a colored niaii ‘'Meter’’
and where there was no discrimina
tion on account of race, color, or pre
vious • conditions of servitude. It
.sounded good to his ears, and he ro
i solved to lose r.o'tlnie in making New
I York his oyster. I ie‘conveyed the in
! formation to another colored man, Jul
ius liropks. bind made New York also
j look good to Julius. They went.
Hut that is not all of the story. The
remainder is gleaned from The New
York Herald. And The Herald gain
ed its information partly from the po
lice and partly from George's own
statement.. Tin* Herald says that
George, admitted his change of view
optady in the court, right ir front of
all the New Yorkers who happened to
be stan ling around. And George add
led that lie wish some of the white
folks would take tin* news hack down
smith to the darkies who felt that
| they were being underpaid and under
few and that New York would make
a great pleasure resort for them, and
tell them not to act hastily in coining
i up. C
George told how he and Julius had
arrived in New York and sought work
and never were able to find any.
When their funds gave out and there
were no old neighbors to drop around
on and get a lift, they conceived the
idea of boring their way into a cloth
ing store. The police found them at
this business and refused to regard it
as a jok< . hence George was led to
make his confession in open court be
fore being sent, along with Julius, up
to Elmira's prison for an indefinite
length lof time. And it is no three
months’ affair at that. An indefinite
length of time means thud they may re
main in the New York hoosegow a
long, long time. And when they 'put
theni'in up there they don't make any
provision for conversation. out of the
window with passersb.v.
Obliging Grandmother.

grandmother. What’s / happened to
her?” Cashier—‘‘She wrote this morn
ing to say she expects to be back to
morrow, as her grandmother is dying
as fast as she can. '--Passing Show.

them'’ is “ten thousand times mure
menacing to the public than an the
bootleggers.’’ Judge N. A. Sinclair, in
charging tli grand jury Nat the open
ing of 1 lie criminal court of Superior
Tour! here this morning, also flayed
! the liquor traifi< . castigated officers of
tin* aw who violates :iie statues in
’enforcing the laws, condemned me
widespread disregard -and disrespect
for law and order and charged That
the law is being violated in many
I sections of tlie State by admitting
'prisoners to jail without the required
medical examination having been
given. * '
“The old idea of torture Is gone
with the dark ages.” Judge Sincla'r
reported, and said b hat he had noticed
reports of grand juries over the State
regarding their visiU to jails, the re
port'; simply stating that tne -jails
seemed al right.” In* criticizing such
reports, Judge Sinclair said that he
hoped no such report would be su’oy
mitted by the present grand jury, re
questing that the grand jury detail
its findings, whether they be good or
bad giving due credit to the officers
respcnsibl? for the good conditions,
and for th<* jury to criticize any had
conditions they find existing. He said
the State has the right to deprive a
prisoner of the liberty, and demand
h ; s services during penal service, but
other than this the State could de
mand nothing else.
REIGNING QUEEN OF

The strnwlierrv. from North Caro-
Mina, is tin* reigning queen of the
■ fruit family of IP‘2h. at least for the
• present week. North Gnrolin i is
j pouring into our markets bumper
; crops that delight not only the seller
| hut the consumer. Delaware and Yir
| ginia jwill come later. The uncertain
! conditions of the weather in all parts
j of the country delayed the strawher
irv season because as a matter of
fruit-fact the, North Carolina crop
should have been consumed h.v now.
But. it’s true, strawberries are here in
(2.00 a Year, Strictly in Advance.
‘Xtraorrtinnr.v quantities, luscious
md satisfying with or without the
embellishment of cream.
Some forty-five carloads arrived late
Saturday and that many more are ex
pected todiy. In more satisfying;
terms, fqrty.-five cars means approxi
mately .UK),OOP quarts, which, coming
in steadily and daily, means that there
art> ample supplies for domestic con
sumption in hotels and restaurants
and homes.
The wholesale price on Saturday
; ringed from lo to 20 cents a quart for
I choice to fancy grades. The rush to
| the milk-fund tight and Hit' rain made
tile street and store vendors rush to
I safety from a had loss and strawber
ries sold retail in a lot of places as low
as tht' actual wholesale cost, though
the average retail buyer probably paid
20 to ,‘tO cents the quart.

'Mr. Wait, although associated in
