OCTOBER 16, 17, 18, 19, AND 20 THE CONCORD TIMES. TRADES DAY The Day of Big Opportunity 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. !

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.
