SAYS IT is A GOOD THING
SOMETHING ON THE OTHER SIDE
OF THE PROPOSITION TO
ABOLISH CITY COURT.

Editor of The Dawson News: |
have been reading with much inter-
est the various articles bearing on
the city court question, and as all
of them fail to give any particular
facts I was somewhat at a loss to
know whether or not we needed the
city court. In order to satisfy my
own mind an investigation was made
of the records of both the city court
and the superior court for the year
1908, and the facts disclosed by them
was somewhat astonishing. Believ-
ing that the publication of these
facts might throw some light on this
question I give them below:
An examination of the records
shows that the city court was in SEES
sion during 1908 II days with juries
and - days without juries, a total
of o days. One hundred and thirty
seven criminal and 80 civil cases
we're disposed of at a total cost of
$3,08S. Of the 1877 criminal cases
been no city court these would have
had to remain in jail an average of
three months each, or a total of 165
months, at a cost to the county of
$l2 per month, or a total cost of
$3.50. Our Jail expenses, which
are now already high, would certain
ly have been increased by that
amount if there had not been a city
court.
The city court keeps the jail prac-
ticalIy clear of misdemeanor cases,
and the greater amount of iail ex-
penses are for felony prisoners for
the superior court. The jail is now
clear of all prisoners for the city
court, and l am informed there are
twelve prisoners in Jail for the su-
perior court. In addition the city
court furnished 236 months of con-
Wet labor to work our public roads,
also paid into the country treasury
S2,017.33, as is shown by the GER
uHcate of w. B. Cheatham, Ordinary
This S2,01733, | am informed was
paid into the county treasury, and
can only be paid out as other funds
by order of the board of commits
II Will NC oCSu lIOlll Tie
above that the total net cost to the
county during the year 1908 for 80
days of the city court was $1,070.67,
or $35.68 per day. For this the dear
people had 1877 criminal and 80
civil cases disposed of, and saved
$3.50 in jail expenses and were
gwen 236 months of convict labor on
the public roads.
/ notice that it is contended that
Jne city court should be charged
with the support of the convicts
While working on the public roads
10 put it mildly this seems far
fetched. A man is charged with his
board and keep, but not given any
credit whatever for his services rem
uered. A farm hand, according to
ms would be charged with his
BOARD but given no credit for the
work done.
One argument often used is that
lne city court interferes with farm
IaOor. Observation borne out by
me record of the City Court of
lawson shows that a greater mis-
statement has never been made The
Guy court is in session but twice a
year, IN July and December, for the
UIaI OF bonded cases, and the farm
ers' as a rule, are never interested
III any cases except bonded cases.

have been but 81, 500, 600 whites
and about 1900, 600 Negroes.
The figures, however, were Co.,
300, 900 white and 1888, 600 Ne
groes.
While the Negroes as a whole
increased 1867 per cent in the
10 years, Director North, in an
other place, figures that if the
accessions to the black popula-
lion by reason of immigration
and by acquisitions of territory
excluded, the Negroes in the
United States in during the cen
tury between 1900 and 1900 in
creased at he rate of only 667
per cent as against 686 per cent
by the white people then in the
country. In other words, he
finds that the wild Negroes
brought in between 1890 and
1850 were much more prolific
than those brought in earlier.
The Director concludes that
while there is only 1,5 children
in the white family, the people
of the colonial stock have an az
erage of 1.8 children per family
indicating that the defendants Of
recent immigrants are not nearly
so poolific as the older stock
Americans, such as is found in
the southern states, in some part
of which 1000 children are shown
to HOO adults.

Census of Negro Population

In a study of census figures
covering a century of growth of
population in the United States
made public today, Director
North, without intending it,
shows that the native whites
and the Negroes are engaged in
a population race in which the
native white is Wofully outclass-
ed. From 1890 to 1900 the Ne
groes increased 1867 per cent.
During the century from 1900 to
1900, the native whites increased
686 per cent. immigration has
saved the white race. The in
crease in white population has
been 2011, as against 1867 for
the Negroes.
In 1890 the Negroes formed
1913 per cent of the population.
Now, however they have declined
to 11.6 per cent. In the first
mentioned year, for every one
hundred white persons the south
ern states had ffty-three slaves.
In 1850 the proportion had de-
clined to 40 per cent. In 1900
the proportion had decreased to
10, showing a decline of one per
cent of whites. The proportions
of blacks to whites in the south
ern states range from twenty
five in Maryland to fourteen in
South Carolina. The slaves in
1890, are estimated to have been
worth $1O5, OOO,O 900, of which the
South had $98, 900, 900. New
England (where it was not prof
liable to keep them) $685., 900,
and the middle states the rest.
How greatly immigration has
helped keep the proportion of
Negroes in the declining scale
may be inferred from the fact
that had the ratio of 1890 been
maintained in 1900 there would

Next week Miss Herman and
her associate players will offer
the much written and talked
about play of the past several
seasons, q" The Regeneration. ="
The play tells a graphic story OF
the underworld, andzit takes its
title from the attempt of Marie
bearing, a New York school
teacher, to uplift and regenerate
an ignorant bully, whom she con-
quers at first meeting by force
of her will power. With the ex-
ception of two or three charac-
tiers, the personelle of the play
is drawn entirely from the UNI
der world or the lower stratas OF
society. The play is sort of a
companion picture to Mrs. Fisk's
famous play of this season, Sal
walton Nell," but on entirely diff
ferent lines, though the atmos-
phere is the same. Miss Selma
Herman and her associate play
ers are changing the clientel of
the Seattle Theater, but the mel

ess, not an unclean or double
meaning word, and it is full of
refreshing comedy, mostly new
thus demonstrating that the
modern dramatist can, when call
ed upon, write something worth
while. There are two very
strong situations or climaxes in
the play, which enabled Miss
Selma Herman to do some of the
best natural emotional acting
that she has yet been called upon
to do. People Of intelligence
will enjoy " The Little Grey
Lady," but it will not appeal to
the gallery.

elaborate kind, and the octagonal form is
one Of the most popular. Religious super.

The centre Of the glove industry is at

kids there are tended with the greatest
care, the idea being to produce skins that
are strong and pliabIe and at the same
time free from blemishes The finest
quality of kid is obtained from animals
that are killed before they begin to eat
grass at all, because from that time the
skins have d tendency TO become hard
and coarse.
