ANOTHER PEST.
fv
The New York papers tell us that
W* '
all the beggars in that great city are
leaving and are coming South for
^ i
the winter. The cause of the exodus1
jjkV- I
is police interference with their
-T ' , I
business.
Only a few days ago The New^
York Herald had the story of one
of these beggars. During the day he 1
Vf i I
rolled a small toy wagon along Fifth
Avenue where he plied his trade as a
beggar. He had been doing this for
many years and everything went a-'
long well until one day an automo-'
was pxeeedinsr the speed
limit. The driver was arrested, and
it turned out that the high-powered
and expensive automobile belonged
to the man who wheeled himself a?.
- long Fifth Avenue as a beggar and
the driver was in his employ. i
This discovery brought about an
investigation. It was finally brought
tojight that the beggar and his family
resided in one of the exclusive
residential sections of the city. Their
apartments were luxuriously furnishIV
ed, and there were servants galore.
The beggar when he reached home
became a gentleman of fashion. He
dressed in the latest style in tailormade
clothes, and was unable to go
to the dinner-table except when
1 ^ -x?-r J: ? ?
dressed in tne siyie 01 unmet jawv
xecommended by the editor of the
Spartanburg Journal.
Similar investigations of other
beggars revealed the fact that instead
of being really beggars they
belonged to the opulent. It is said
now -that they are coming South in
their "high-powered" cars and in
pullman cars to ply their trade here
nritil the police of New York forget
auout them, and until the war on
beggars is over, when they will
quietly go back and commence over
again.
Some of these beggars on street
corners in New York City it is stated
take in as much as fifty dollars
per day. A day when only ten or
fifteen dollars is taken in is considered
an average day, but nothing to
brag about.
It will not be many days we suppose
before some of these beggars
will appear, with their pencils and
other wares on the streets here. They
will tell the same old story about
v.unting to get back home to see a
dying mother. They will, if you will
allow them, exhibit the scars left by
wnnnrls snffrrnrl in Snvarmah. .Tnpk
sonville or some other point. The
city authorities will be moved by
their tales of woe and will allow
them to prey on the public when they
should be put on the rock pile. And
perhaps a farmer who has just sold
the one bale of cotton which the
boll weevils left him will contribute
to buy dinner jackets and fine automobiles
for the beggar to ride in
when he gets back to. New York, or
majroc Atlanta.
All of which leads us to suggest
that there are charitable objects
hf>rf> a +. hnrrwi who if thf>v sprurpd
what they really needed, could easily
dispose of all the charitable funds
about here. We seldom think of the
needy cases at home. The people
here who are really in need are too
proud to beg. They prefer to suffer
for the necessities of life and we
do not hunt them ur to offer to help
them. But our hearts and purses are
always open to a professional beggar
about whom we know nothing-, and
who in nine cases out of ten can buy
lis several times over. We contend
that nobody except a resident of Abbeville
County, whose condition and
affairs can be investigated, has a
right to beg here. Abbeville County
should provide for its own needy
either by charitable contributions
or by the building of suitable homes
for those who are dependent on the
public. And of course other places
should do the same.

Can American Chemistry Solve The (
Boll Weevil Problem? f
f
I A report has reached financial j
Icivclcs in New York to the effect that :
jthe British have discovered a cheap 1
jand absolute specific for the boll \
(weevil. It may be that this statement 1
' has been given circulation in the
hope that it might bear the cotton (
market. It may, on the contrary, be .
true. j
The chemical industry in this <
country is very properly being given 1
j the more or less complete protection t
it requires until it can attain the I
strength necessary to compete on i
.veil terms with the German indus- s
| try. That protection carries with it j
ja moral responsibility on the pax-t i
| of the chemical industry to give high r
public service. Only this week it is I

,'nat some of the great chemical
