health and largely reduced death
rate among the negroes. For this
reason the movement should appeal

CAUSE'OF.
MANY GRIMES
Grand Juries Should Investigate
Public Schools Says Judge

Wadesboro, Jan. 19-The January
term of the Arson superior court for
the trial Of criminal cases convened
Monday with Judge Oliver H, Allen
on the bench.
Judge Aliens charge to grand
jury was unique and forceful, en-
tirely out OF the ordinary. The
judge laid stress upon the impor-
lance of bringing yiolators Of the
law TO justice, in his charge he en-
phasized two causes OF crime. The
first causesmentioned was ignorance
and Judge Allen said that he found
a great deal OF ignorance among the
white citizens and while ignorance
is not always the cause OF crime, IL
is a dangerous thing for ignorant
men are easily led into crime. Ig-
norance and idleness are responsible
for a large measure OF the crimes
OF the present age. In this instance
Judge Allen suggested that 1t would
be good plan for the grand jury
10 investigate carefully the school
system OF the county and for this
purpose he advised them. TO call the
county superintendent before them
that he might explain 70 them the
educational conditions OF the county.
he also suggested that II might be
helpful II the grand jury would visit
the Wadesboro graded school. Stat
ing that In many sections of the state
he had found people opposing special
taxes for school districts and that II
these same people could go to the
towns and see the schools they would
learn Why II is that in many instances
people are moving from the country
TO town I'M order TO educate their
children, continueing in his remarks
the judge stated that intoxicating
liQ.or was another fruitful source OF
crime, Il believe that you can try the
criminal docket Of any court in
North Carolina and II you will take
the whiskey out Of the county IS per
cent. Of the crimes is caused by in
toxieating liquor. IL is one OF the
greatest crime producers and caused
more loss OF property than any other.
This is not the expressions Of fanatics
but OF all students Of crime and is
true not only In North Carolina but
In all sections Of the country. In
| fact Il Is almost the only real evil
that you will find in your county
Intoxicating liquor being such q
source OF crime there should be q
willingness on the part OF the grand
Jury to enforce the prohibition Law
