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. - jfcXr w c. _? . 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.
