Criminal Cases In N. c., 1902

There are several counties that
rank near Stanly, with few crimi-
nal cases, and a large number
whose rates are not much above
the low record of Haywood. Why
one county should .have "a rate
nineteen times as high as anot!.:r
county, we do not profess to
know. We are only submitting the
facts as reported by the Attorney
General.
The negro criminal rate is higher
than the white rate, although there
were 3S,457 white and 1852 ne
gro cases disposed of during the
two-year period. There are more
than twice as many white people
as negroes in North Carolina.
For every female criminal case
there were thirteen male cases.
There were nearly forty-six
thousand convictions. Approx
mately three-fourths of all cases
tried resulted in convictions.
Superior courts did much more
business in l930-31 than in 1911
81. Courts below superior courts
did much more business in 1881
3 than in 193O-31. The total
number of cases was almost exact
ly the same for both court years,
1862 and 3O,776.
The leading crime for both years
and in both courts was in connec-
ton with violation of prohibition
laws. One-third of all criminal
cases tried during the two-year
period had to do with violation of
Larceny and receiving, assault with
deadly weapons, violation of motor
vehicle laws, assault and battery,
and passing worthless checks are
the other leading crimes that oc-
|cupy the attention of the courts of
the state.

under her door. 1t contained a note
from Neil, and she read

Joyce read this over several
times, almost uncomprehending.
At last, however, she knew what
she must do. She knew she must
go away-that it was the only
thing for her to do.
I've been wrong to stick it u
this long, she thought. NC
wonder I've gotten things into
such a mess!"
1t did her good to have some
definite work to do. In less than

Roxie met her at the foot of the
stairs. Excuse me, ma'am, but
Mr.. Neil he said you'd be waking
up after a time and we should
have your dinner ready"
Very well, Roxie, just serve it
quickly in the dining-room, please.

The recen Biennial Report of
the Attorney General of North
Carolina carries some interesting
data on criminal cases tried in the
superior courts and in courts below
the superior courts reporting to
the Attorney General for the two
year period from July l, 1880 to
July 1, 1882. The report covers
all criminal cases tried in the sup
erior courts, and reports from for
ty-four counties that had courts
below the superior courts. Alto
gether the report covers 61,4O4
criminal cases for the two-year
period, or a yearly average of 3d.
7O2 cases.
The state yearly average for the
two-year period was one criminal
cases disposed of for every one
hundred and three inhabitants.
Stanly county made the best re-
cord for the two-year period with
one criminal cese for every six
hundred and tighty-six inhabit-
ants. Haywood county looks worst
for the above years with one crimi-
nal cases disposed of for every thir-
ty-six inhabitants. Haywood and
Stanly are close together in total
population, yet the yearly average
was forty-four criminal cases in
Stanly and seven hundred and
seventy-nine case5 in Haywood.
These are the extremes. The other
counties range between these.
