REPORTS COMING BACK
Experience of Two Southern Negroes ’
in New York.
Monroe Journal.
George Johnson, colored, heard about j
fh(> wonders of New York. where white
people called a colored man "Mister" j
ami where there was no diserimina-1
Him on account of race, color, or pre- I
\ions conditions of servitude. It!
Sounded good to his ears, and lie re- j
solved to lose no time in making New ,
York his oyster. He conveyed the in-!
formation to another colored man. Jut- !
ins Brooks, and made New York also j
look good lo Julius. went._
| But that is not all of the story. The j
remainder is gleaned from The New j
| York Herald. And The Herald gain
ed its information partly from the po- j
lice and partly from George’s own]
| statement. The Herald says that ]
j George admitted his change of view j
openly in the' court.’ right ir front of |
[all tin' New Yorkers who happened to
.lip standing around. And George add- 1
jed that he wish some of; the white
j folks would take the news I wick down I
south to the darkies who felt that]
I they were being underpaid and undev
! few and that New York would make
a great pleasure resort for them, and
; tell .them not to act hastily in coming
! Up.
| George told how he and Julius had j
] arrived in New York and sought work
ami never were able to find any.
i 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 lo regard it
as a joke, hence George was ted tot
make his confession in open court he- |
fore being sent, along witli Julius, up I
.to Elmira's prison for an indefinite j
length of time. And it is no three
months’ affair at that. An Indefinite
length of time means that they tuny re-1
main in the New York hoosegow a .
long, long time. And when they put
them in up there they don’t make any
provision t'fir conversation out of the
window with passershy.
