VAGRANCY. Severe SeuteuveN ??>" a t'ourl iu (.corjjIH. Augusta Herald. Hon. Clem K. Dunbar whh present at the city court this morulug to witness the flrst practical court testoi the new Calvin vagrancy law. though none of the other local representatives in the general assembly attended the short session of the elty court. The fact that the deteudauts, to the number of 23, charged with vagranoy would face Juage J!.ve iuih uiuruiiig WHO vvmciii.j advertised tojudge Irom the Hize ?if the audience. There were perhaps fllty witnesses ami fully twice that number of spectators present out of Idle curiosity. Of the St alleged vagrants. live of them were white, and of the total number 11 were unable to employ counsel and the court appointed as many members of the bar to represent them. STOLE YESTERDAY : CONVICTED TODAY. In the case of Mitchell the court work was unusually raoid. Yesterday he was arrested on the charge of stealing $1.00 worth of bag* irom Mr. Phlnzy's barn and on a plea of guilty this morning was sentenced to work ten months on the county gang. THE FIRST VAGRANCY CASE. But one of the 33 vagrancy cases was disposed of, and in that tbere was absolutely nothing worthy of comment. The accusation was read to James Morgan a white boy between iy and 21 years ol age, slightly crippled In one leg and he entered a plea of guilty. In cases ol this kind the law Is so constructed that the accused, after conviction, can give a bond of ?300 assuring eood behavior and Industry for the period of 12 montbs. If ] this is done the court will release him on approval of the bond and he is allowed to 1 ? U? lr?r?<r ub ho works gu uib na/ etuu "UIQ. w ? and leads a fair, honest life he is noi molested, but should be drift Into idleness again, the bond is collected, the prisoner is taken 1 up and made to work out the former sentence. When sentence was imposed on James Morgan, Judge Eve first asked him If he could give a bond of $300 for his character, and the prisoner replied that he could not, when a sentence of 22 months on the county gang was imposed as follows: "Ibe defendant, James Morgan, having plead guilty to the within charge of vagrancy at the present term of the city court, aud having failed on demand to give bond for his future industry and good conduct for one year, as required by law, it is ordered that he do work upon the public works of said county, or at such other place as the proper authorities may direct, for the term of twelve months from this date. WM. F. EVE, Judge City Court, Richmond County, Georgia." This September 3,1903. Following the sentence, Judge Eve directed on account of the boy being a cripple, thai he should be assigned to work with the gang at the county home. THE VAGRANCY INDICTMENT. The Indictments in vagrancy cases, or at least those to be tried Just now, differ conslderably from the ordlnery city court indictment, in that they each contain three /Counts. The paper is an interesting one, in view of the fact that the vagrancy oraze 1* spreading all over the state. It Is as follows : The '.form of Indictment under which the vagrancy cases will be tried and the one to which James Morgan pieaueu guuij 10 ?follows: "M. M.

Mr. George Pullman once said, ,vlien asked the secret of easy riding, hat the secrets are soinauy that no Hie chu keep them. That is true, Out lie easyihg of curves is one of them. Curves, no matter how slight, have ilways heeu laid as arcs of true cir rr?i. ? !les.

A mile-a-minute train on a >ne-depree curve needs an outer rail ive inches higher than the inner ail; a slower train a lower elevation, ft is clear from this explanation that i train going faster than the niaxinuni for which the track is prepared A'ould shoot oil'the rails. Conversely, i slower train than the other provided or would grind the llanges oil' its / wheels. \ Any road must strike a serviceable firir trains of varying speeds, ind engineers must iiur.se their Ioeo-| motives around fin* curves as close o : | it. as possible.
