"A LESSON FROrl NORTH CAR
~ OI.lNA.

on Thursday night a negro OF sixteen
wears OF age entered the house Oh an oiu
- citizen Of Rockingham county, N. o., ana
without h word Of warming, and Whlle
speakinE pleasantly TO the couple, are"
a pistol and shot to death the OLD man,
after which he turned the weapon upon
he woman and tried to kill her. she,
with great nerve and presence Of MIND
managed to put tho negro out before ne
could reload his weapon. and then, Sip
ping out Of the house, told the story 10
/ some neighbors The negro was subse-
uuentIy captured III the house While
prowling around looking for plumber.
AS already stated, this negro IS only
Is sixteen years Of age, and while we would
Z not say that he is fair representative
of his race, he IS undoubtedly n type.
There are many other young negroes ike
him throughout the South and when the
4 present training Of tho negro is consid-
erred we do not see how 1t could well be
otherwise. Coming OF savage race,
with the instincts and passions and appe-
tites Of the savage still in him. brought
up as is top often the case, without any
sort Of moral instruction at home and
without any moral restraints except such
as the law throws around mankind In
general. it is no wonder that ne IS tho
roughly brutallzed and fit for treason,
& .stratagem and spoils,'
Here is whore the negro problem begins
4 and it is to this phase of the question
that those who arc honestly endcavorlng
4 TO find ii solution of tho problem must
nddress tlc--1sclves. In the days Of slav-
.ery the negro was well trained He was
taught the principles of the Ten Com
mandments, and he was taught not only
10 observe them, but tho greater lesson
OF obedience, which the Commandments
were designed to teach, and which obe-
@ dIcnce lies at the foundation Of all char
acter. Tn the days Of slavery the young
negro was thoroughly drilled in morals
Z and manners. Each plantation had Its
own code Of morals and laws and It's
b own discipline. AS a result, crime among
negroes was rare, and some Of tile worst
crimes which they now commit were UNI
sgtknown. 1t was most unusual for q me-
gro to commit murder. and as for the
other and more atrocious crime upon
women, in our young days we never
heard of such q case, although negroes
in that community were numerous-more
numerous, perhaps. than the whites.
Under our present system young negroes
are brought up without these restraints
and without this training. They are
brought UP too often by lewd parents,
and very early in life they are turned
loose TO shift for themselves, to indulge
their appetites''and passions according as
opportunity offers and there is practi-
cally no instruction in the great virtue
of self-control.
What are we going to do about It?
What are we going TO do with such young
bucks as this Rockingham negro, who
armed himself and attempted to murder
two white people In order that he might
81 put little money Into his pocket? What
are we doing and what are we going to
do to train the negro in morals and man
ners? That, we Insist is where the nc.
gro problem begins.

Murder.

American visitors to Paris are ter
rorized by the misdeeds of the numer-
Gus gangs of rowdies, called Apaches,
infesting the boulevards, says a recent
report. The official police reports as
follows on their latest outrage:
Six young Apaches, finding them
selves without money to stake at cards,
decided that the loser should stake HIS
life and-some one else's. A 16-year-old
rowdy lost the game, and walking out
from the cafe, about II o'clock on Sun
day night. jumped at the throat of the
first person coming his way, driving his
long knife In between his shoulders
and killing him instantly. As it hap
pened a number of policemen were in
the neighborhood and the whole gang
were arrested. The state will move
that all six be guillotined as a warning.
The victim was bookkeeper, "a years

NEW ENGLAND THRIFT.
Careful management IL . Part Of the
Temperament of the Maasa-
ehusefts People.

The proportion of men and women
who retire on small completeness Is
doubtless greater in Massachusetts,
than In any other state In the union,
unless 1t be Pennsylvania. which Is
the other state of DIR. Benjamin
Franklin's residence. But a man who
has even the most robust respect for
the thrift Of the people of Massa-
chusetts must be surprised to learn
from the report of the states bureau
of labor statistics that there are more
than $4,000 such persons-2s.0O0 men
and 1900 women. Two-thirds OF
them are native-born, too. The max
ing OF such an investigation was char
acteristic of Massachusetts,. says
Worlds Work.
But II tells volumes about the care
full management that is part OF the
New England temperament. The New
Highlander studiously saves and he IN
vests prudently. and when old age
comes, or he has wish to rest, he IS
willing to stop work and to adjust
his life TO his income; and he gem
orally leaves a legacy also to MS
children. Anyone who has lived In
different parts Of the United States
has had many occasions to observe
what this official report confirms
that the native New Highlander has
learned the art of living considerably
below his income better than any
other man among us.
