WHITE MEN IN COl RT.
Auyone attending the sessions of
Cabarrus County Sti])erior court last ,
week must have been impressed by
'the fact that a great majority of the
prisoners were white men. many of
whom were charged with larceny, store
breaking or receiving stolen goods,
if In sentencing several alleged store
breakers Friday afternoon Judge H.
I’. Lane commented on the change
that has come about in the color of
defeifttrmts in court. Not many years
| ago, His Honor said, it was unusual
to see many white men in court and
it was a rare thing to see u white man
, in court for stealing.
Note there is nothing rare about
such an occurrence. Not only are
. fewer negroes brought into court
charged with stealing, bat the num
ber of white men tried on such charges
is rapidly increasing.
% ■ The' grand jury winch 'served for
Ihc'-October term of court reported
.that 19 persons wi re found in the
S ’.county jail, eighteen of them being
‘white men.
There are too many white men try
ing to live without working. They
arc content to take a chance with tin
law. and rather than live by their lab
r, *>r they seek to live by their wits.
I They do not hesitate to enter a place
‘ of business and carry off hundreds of
f dollars worth of goods. They care
nothing for the man who has worked
to secure the goods they steal.
Lawyers who'have been practicing
for a number of years are the ones
j[ most struck by tin- change hi the color
-of the prisoners they defend. Negroes
are respecting the law better than
white people now. Take the bnoKleg
“ gers, the robbers, the thieves and inur
fe, derers —most of them are white men.

“Tile social demands upper in the
minds of the negro masses of Ameri
ca are that of abolition of “jim crow
ism,’ that is racial separation; politi
cal enfranchisement; equal opportuni
ties of employment for white and
black, measures on the part of the
federal government against the prac
tice of lynching; larger appropria
tions for educational facilities for ne
gro children in the Southland; the
abolition of the lines of residential
'Segregation, etc. The congress will
take up these social problems for de
liberation and action.” , |
President Green, of the American
Federation of Labor, reefuses to have
anything to do with the communists,
declaring that “communism in Amer
ica is comparable to the boll weevil in
the cotton fields."
Os course the federation is to op
pose anything the "reds” do toward
agitating negroes, but the negroes
are not going to allow themselves to
be deceived by the communists. The
Southern negroes are not opposed to
"Jim Crowism" for they realize full
well that they are better off when al
lowed to live separate from the
whites. There is no real oppression
against the negroes in the South and
it will take more than communism to
convince the Southern negro that the
Southern white man is not his best
friend.
UNION COUNTY FARMERS
SELLING OUT AND LEAVING
How Will They Bitter Their Condi
tions By Going Elsewhere?
Monroe Enquirer.
-V surprisingly and also distress
ingly large number of Union county
farmers are "selling out" just at t
this season of the year. Some are j
going to other sections of the cotin- 1
try to engage hi agricultural pur
suits while many are going to "pub
lic works" in order to secure jobs.
While there ' have been no crop
failure for the past two years, con
ditions on the farms have .not been
conducive to make or save money.
However, one cannot but wonder if
these good people will be cnao.ed to
better their condition by going else
where:
It should be remembered, too, that
when live stock at this season ot
the year is sold at auction it
brings only about one-third actual
value. Farming tools and household
goods likewise are sacrificed, and
cannot be rep.aced at anything like
the prices obtained at the average
sale.
So many citizens leaving the farm
tends also to depress land values.
There are few farms in Union , ,un
tj that should not. sell well above
SSO an acre. A tract of 200 or more
acres was bid off at the court house
only recently at less than S2O an
acre. And this same lan(i will read- \
Ly produce hale-to-the acre cotton.
But the fait remains that many
farmers are leaving the * county.
None are coming in to take their
place. Is it possible that the busi- !
ness men of the county—the bank
ers, the merchants and others— I
might do something to make living
conditions of these immigrants more
tolerable? Evidently something ts
radically wrong anil should be rem
edied if it can be done.
Still, on the other hand, the great
majority of Union couney farmers
are happy and content with their lot
and making good at, the business of
farming and allied pursuits, wnich
include stock raising, dairying,
poultry growing, and so forth.
It is true that oftentimes families
going to a new community get out
of a rut long traveled. They like the
ways of new neighbors and "chime
in” better than at the old home.
We have no quarrel to make with
any one desiring to move. Have
moved a number of times myself, but
not always to advantage.

CHAPTER XIX
Every new and prosperous mining
camp has an Arabiatf Nights atmos
phere, characteristic, - peculim, inde
scribable. Especially noticeable was
this atmosphere in the early Arctic
camps, made up as they were of
men who knew little about mining,
rather less about frontier ways, and
next to nothing about the country
in which they found themselves
These men had built fabulous hopes,
they dwelt in illusion, they put faith
in the thinnest of shadows. Now
the most practical miner is not a
conservative person; is erratic,
credulous, and extravagant; reason
less optimism is at once his blessing
and his curse. Nevertheless, the
“old-timers” of the Yukon were
moderate indeed as compared with
the adventurous holidav-seekers who
swarmed in upon their tracks. Being,
none too well balanced themselves,
it was only natural that the exuber
ance of these new arrivals should
prove infectious and that a sort of
general auto-intoxication should re
sult. That is precisely what hap
pened at Dawson. Men lost all cau
tion, all common sense; they lived in
a land of rosy imaginings; hard
bought lessons of experience were
forgotten; realitv disappeared; fancy
took wing and left fact behind; ex
pectations were capitalized and no
exaggeration was too wild to chal-.
lenge acceptance. It became a City
of Frenzy.
It was all very fine for an ardent
youth like Pierce Phillips; it set 1
him ablaze, stirring a fever in his
blood. Having won thus far, he
made the natural mistake of believ
ing that the race was his; so he
wasted little time in the town, but
very soon took to the hills, there to
make his fortune and be done with
Here came the awakening. Away
from the delirium of the camp, in
contact with cold realitv, he began
to learn something of the serious,
practical business of gold-mining.
Before he had been long on the
creeks he found that it was no child’s
play to wrest treasure from the froz
en bosom of a hostile wilderness,
and that, no matter how rich or how
plentiful the treasure. Mother Eprth
guarded her secrets jealously, lie
began to realize that the obstacles,
he had so blithely overcopie in get
ting to the Klondike were as noth
ing to those in the w>ay of his fur
ther success. Os a sudden his tri
umphal progress slowed down and he
jeame to a pause: he began to mark
. time.
There was work in plenty to be
had, but, like most of the new-com
ers, he was not satisfied to take fixed
wages. They seemed oaltry indeed
compared with the drunken figures
that were on every lip. In the pres
ence of the uncertain he could not
[content himself with a sure thing.
Nevertheless, he was soon forcetj to
the necessity of resorting to it, for
through the fog of his misapprehen
,sions. beneath the obscurity of his
ignorance, he began to discover the
True outline of things and to under
stand that his ideas were imprac
tical.
To begin with, every foot of
ground in the proven districts was
taken, and even when he pushed out
far afield he found that the whole
country was plastered with locations;
rivers, creeks and tributaries, Ttench
and hillsides, had been staked.
For many miles :n every direction
blazed trees and pencil notices greet
ed him—he found them in places
where it seemed no foot but his had
ever trod._ In Dawson the Gold Com
| mtssioner s office was besieged bv
daily crowds of claimants; it would
have taken years of work on the part
1 of a hundred thousand men to even
prospect the ground already record
ed on the books.
( Back and forth Phillips came and
went, he made trips with pack and
hand-sled, he slept out in spruce for
ests, in prospectors’ tent’s, in new
cabins the sweaty green logs of which
were still dripping, and when he had
finished he was poorer by a good
i many dollars and richer only in the
possession of a few recorder’s re
ceipts. the value of which he had al
ready begun to doubt.
Disappointed he was, but not dis
couraged. It was all too new and
exciting for that. Every visit to
Bonanza or El Dorado inspired him.

When he encountered his two trail
friends, Tom Linton and Jerry Quirk.
Pierce had seen them last at Lin
derman, engaged in prosecuting a
stampeders’ divorce. he was sur
prised to find them reilMited.
“I never dreamed vou’d_ get
through.” he told them, when greet
ings had passed. “Did you come
in one boat or in two?”
Jerry grinned. “We sawed up that
outlaw f*ur times. We’d have split
her end to end finally, only we ruth
out of pitch to cork her up.”>
“That boat was about woVn out
with our bickerings.” Tom declared.
“She ain’t over half the length she
was—ali the rest is sawdust. If the
nail-holes in her was laid end to
end they'd reach to Forty Mile. We
were the last outfit in, as it was, and
we’d of missed a landing if a< feller
hadn't run out on tho shore ice and
roped us. First town I ever entered
or. the end of a lariat. Hqpe'l don’t

“Guess who drug us in,” Jerry
urged.
“I’ye no idea.” said Pierce.
“Big Lars Andersrm ’’

’em fried. He’s a prince with
his money.” ~
“He owns more property than any
body, ’ “said Pierce.
“Right! And he gave us a ‘lay.’”
Phillips’ eyes opened. “A lay?
On El Dorado?” he queried,' in frank,
amazement. 1
“No. Hunker. He says it’s a
good creek. We’re lookin’ for i
pardner.”
“What kind of a partner?”
It was Linton who answered.
"Well, some nice, easy-going, hard
working young feller. Jerry and V
are pretty old to wind a windlass,
but we can work underground where
it’s warm.”
“ ‘Easy-goin’,’ that’s the word,”
Jerry nodded. “Tom and me get
along with each other like an order
of buckwheat cakes, but we’re set
our ways and we don’t want any
body to come between us.”
“How would I do?” Pierce in
quired, with a smile.
Tbm answered promptly. “If*
your name was put to a vote know
one of us that wouldn't blackball
you.” *
“Sure!” cried his partner. “The
ballot-box would look like a settin'
of pigeon eggs. Think it over and
let us know. We're leavin’ to
morrow.’*
A lease on Hunker Creek sounded
good to Phillips. Big Lars Ander
son had been one of the first arriv
als from Circle City; already he was
rated a millionaire, for luck had
smiled upon him; his name was one
to conjure with. Pierce was about
to acept the offer made when Jerry
said:
“Who d’you s’pose got the lay be
low ours? That feller McCaskey
and his brother.”
"McCaskey 1”
“He’s an old pal of Anderson’s.”
“Does Big Lars know he’s a
thief?”
Jerry shrugged. “Lars ain’t the
kind that listens to scandal and we
ain’t the kind that carries it”
■ Pierce meditated briefly; then he
said, slowly,, “If your lay turns out
good so will McCaskey’s.” His frown
deepened. “Well, if there’s a law
of compensation, if there’s such a
thing as retributive justice—you have
a bad piece of ground.”
“But tfiere ain’t any such thing,”
Torn quickly asserted. “Anyhow, it
don’t work in mining-camps. If it
did the saloons would be reading
rooms and the gamblers would take
in washing. Look at the lucky men
in this camp—bums, most of ’em.
George Carmack was a squaw-man,
and he made the strike.”
Pierce felt no fear of Joe Mc-
Caskey, only dislike and a desire to
avoid further contact with him. The
prospect of a long winter in close
proximity to a proven scoundrel was
repugnant. Balanced against this
was the magic of Big Lars’ name.
It was a problem; again indecision
rose to trouble him.
“I’ll thifik it over,” he said, finally.
Farther down the street Phillip’s’
attention was arrested by an an
nouncement of the opening of the.

The. front room was crowded,
, through an archway leading to the
. gambling-hall came the noise of
many voices, and over all tile strain*
of an orchestra at the rear. Ben
: Miller, a famous sporting character,
was busy weighing gold dust at tin*

Pierce entered. '
The theater, too, was packed. Her*
a second bar was doing a thriving
business, and every chair on the floor,
; every box in the balcony overhang
ing three sides of it, was occupied.
Waiters were scurrying up and down
the wide stairwgy; the general hub

J exploding corks as the Klondik*
spendthrifts advertised their pros

prodigality.
All Dawson had turned out for tha
opening, and Pierce recognized sev
eral ofthe Ed Dorado kings, among
then Big Lars Anderson.
These new-bop magnates were a*
thriftless as locdsts, and in the midst
of their bacchanalian revels Pierce
felt very poor, very obscure. Here
was the roisterous spirit of the
Northland at full play; it irked the
young man intensely to feel that he
could afford no part in it. Laure
was not long in discovering him. She
sped to him with the swiftness of a

Why didn’t you let me know you

“I just got in. I’ve been every*

and she. clutched the lapel of hi*

crowd. "I dropped in to see how you
were getting along.”
“Well, what do you think of tht
place ?”
t “Why, it looks as if you’d all get
rich in a night.”
. “And you? Have you done any-
Jhinp for yourself?”
Pierce shook his head; in a few
yrords he recounted his goings and
his comings, his effort and his fail:
ures. Laure , followed the recital
with swift, bfrdlike nbds of unde*'
standing; her dark eyes were warm
with sympathy.
“You’re going at it the wrong
way,” she asserted when he had fin
ished. "You have brains; make them

she declared. “He says Hunker is

Movement to Put School Teachers in
I'iiiform.
Raleigh News and Observer.
From what source came the sug
gestion of putting school teachers in
uniform? The Kinston Free Press
furnishes the answer, saying: "It
came from a desire to curb the ten
dency of the more flgpiierish young
school ma'ams to parade fashion's
extreme decrees before the class
room.” It adds: "While resorting
to a uniform would be perhaps too
much in the other extreme, it ia |not
amiss to call attention jo the fact
that for teachers to make of them
selves fashion piates and models is not
tile most wholesome and beneficial ex
ample that they can set for their
classes."
