IT IS OUR DUTY
To
Give Youth An
other Chance.
N reporting a recent session of
r the Charlotte police court the
Observer has this concerning the
2 case of two young men who, it
appears, had failed to appreciate
the force of the argument set forth in
the general proposition that honesty
is the best policy:
"Because it was his first time in
trouble, Charlie Alexander, a young
white man, escaped a chain-gang sen
tence, and was only fined $15 and
costs when he was found guilty of lar
ceny in -police court yesterday morn
ing. His companion in distress, was
given a sentence of SO days on the
roads because he was an old offender."
The Charlotte judge is to be com
mended for giving the boy guilty o?. the
first offence a chance to get back on
the right track. If this were done oft
ener there would be fewer criminals
of mature years.
Referring to the perplexities of the
municipal judge. Judge Brown, of
Greensboro, who is always inclined to
the side of mercy, especially in cases
of the youthful offender, says that one
of the greatest difficulties which he
encounters is the indifference and
lack of sympathy orr the part of Chris
tian people to carry into practice the
fine theories which they advance in
regard to those who have erred and
who need a life line in the way of re
cognition and encouragement more
than at any other time in their en
tire lives. He has had, during his
strernl vpnrc PTr.pripnrp n tinrnhpr1
of young boys and a few young girls
who could have been saved by a
strong and sympathetic hand to guide
thpm hut whn fpplinsr that pverv
body was against them and that their
disgrace was irrevocaDie, nave ionow
ed the line of least resistance and
sought consolution with those lost
and forgotten ones catalogued as so
cial outcasts.
And this is something to think
about. If you know a boy who has
been led astray, who has. in an evil
hour, yielded to temptation and fal
len by the wayside, don't conclude
that hp is Tint worth nlrlrine' lin- don't
conclude that he is necessarily a bad
one and unworthy of your sympathy
and confidence. Give him another
chance. Speak to him when you meet
tim on the street and treat him with
the same consideration as though you
had never heard of his-indiscretion.
Accump 'that hp is hnnpst ani flpr-pnt
and -capable of attaining any standard
which is set for him.
In nine cases out of ten the youth
ful offender wisely handlel will make
a stronz man and useful citizen The
enterprise which characterizes the av
erage uaa dov ana sometimes lands
him in police court, is the same kind
of energy that will, in later years, de
velop the captain of industry and the
man of affairs. The boy who gets in
to trouble because he wants mnnpv
and understands that he cannot look
for it m a depleted family exchequer,
will, if eiven cmrjortunitv. hprnmp in
all probability a Napoleon of finance
in tne .business world, where he can
rob his neizhbors leeallv and wisp as
a philanthropist when he now and
tnen contriDutes to the conscience

The Traveling Men.
Burrell H. Marsh, of Winston Salem,
director for North Carolina of the

there for the annual convention Thurs
day and Friday, May 5 and 6.
Practically all arranesmpnts hn-c-P

They See Things.
"The eastern North Carolina folks
are 'seeinsr thinars.'
Berne, Morehead City and thereabouts
are positive that German - spies are
looking over the coast region, making
iai,, imormmg themselves as to
-oast and harbor defenses, etc. Con
frequently the nervous residents of
that region will doubtless lie awake
nights listening for the bombardment
"jr a uerman neet to begin on our un
protected coasts. That was to have
neen i expected. Next thing we know
uie merman Zeppelins will darken the
air as they fly about the country
dropping bombs." '
To Begin Work.
Work is to start at an early date on
Wilmington's new $500,000 customs
house, says a report from that sea
port. Wilmington got the new build
ing only after much wrangling, and
now that it has it some are so unkind
as to suggest that the boats are going
to stop coming there, which is raising
Wilmington's ire to such an extent
that it is showing many of the other
Atlantic seacoast towns just what it
can do the North Carolina spirit
seems still to be in Wilmington.
Flag Raising Drew Large Crowd.
Twenty-five hundred people was the
estimated crowd which attended the
Hag raising exercises at the StonewaU
Jackson school Monday, when a large
United States flag, given by the va
rious councils of the Punior Order
United American Mechanics, was pre
sented and unfurled over the new
school and a handsome Bible was do

New Men on the Job.
The Raleish News and Observer
recognize our right to be a colonel.
It say?:'
"There's a new Record being made
of the Greensboro Recor.i, for there's
a new man on the job. Not a new
man in the way of bein? known in
North Carolina, but a new one on the
Greensboro Record, though he's made
a record all his own in North Carolina.
"It's Al Fraibrother we're talking
about, Colonel Al Fairbrother. We
don't know why he is sometimes call
ed -Colonel' Fairbrother, but it looks
good in type, hence the 'colonel' here.
With Mr. George B. Crater in league
the two have bought the Greensboro
Record and they have already begun
making a new Record of it.
"Well, they are two good ones. Col
onel Fairbrother on the editorial and
general writing side and Crater on the

the early signs are that they are go

HE WANTED BLOOD.
Came All the Way From Alabama to
Kill His Girl.
Jim Eddins, a negro, has probably
set a new example for jealous young
men. It is alleged that Jim came all
the way from Alabama to kill his iri.
The Statesville Landmark reports the
ra cp an follows?
'Jim Eddins, colored, is in jail under
$200 bend for carrying concealed
weapons. It seems that Jim is enam
ored of one Louetta Owens, who lives
with her sister. Berta Hagan. a few
miles southeast of town. Jim came al
the way from Alabama last week. It Is
charged, for the purpose of killing
Louetta. He armed himself with pis
tol and gun and enough ammunition to
start an insurrection in Mexico. Fn-
dav night he was on hand at a fpstival
in Louetta's neighborhood, thinking
that she would be there, and that he
would have an opportunity of carrying
out his purpose. His presence there
was reported to Deputy Sheriff Gilbert
and he went down about 4 o'clock Sat
urday morning and brought Eddins in.
He was tried bv 'Sanirp Mnnrp and
was committed to jail in default of
bond.
STREETER'S WORK.
Reports Progress With Carolina Chtl
dren's Bureau.
Mr. W. B. Streeter, who is superin
tendent of the Carolina children's
bureau, was in Greensboro this week.
accompanied by Mrs. Streeter. This
Dureau operates m North and South
Carolina and looks esDeciallv after
children needing medical and surgical
attention. Mr. Streeter reports fine
success in his work. In South Caro
lina he looks after oruhans and home
less children.
THEY COME BACK.
The Oxford Ledger has the follow-
ing to say about a former North Caro
lina man who has since achieved famp
in the United States army:
Col. H. P. Kingsburv. a retired TT R
Army officer residing in Washington.
was the guest of Mr. R. W. Lassiter
mree days last week. He returns to
the scenes of his boyhood after an ab
sence of forty-two years.
Col. Kingsbury was born where Gen
eral Royster now ikes, the house in
which he saw the light of day now
stands on Front street near Gilliam.
He is the son of the late Russell H.
Kingsbury, who did a mercantile bus
iness for many years at the intersec
tion of Main and Littlejohn street
Col. Kingsbury was the first cadet
to enter West Point Military Acade
my after the war. He received the
appointment from the hands of Gen
eral Grant soon after Johnson's sur
render near Durham. The three big
merchants in Oxford during Col.
Kingsbury's childhood days were his
father, Russell Kingsbury, Herndon
and Kite.
The Cost of It.
The campaigns come high. What it
costs to run for governor has been dis
cussed. Lieutenant-Governor Daughtridge's
managers and himself declare that
they will stay within the $5,000. They
insist that the recent appearance of
representatives from his camp asking
the State board of elections to hear
them on an interpretation of the cor
rupt practices act which would date
the beginning of campaign expendi
tures from the formal entrance of the
race, should not be prejudicial to his
belief that he can get out on the $5,
000. Should it be necessary to spend such
a sum fcr an office of lionor?
