The attention of the town authorities is respectfully directed to the uumbor of men and boys who loaf on tho streets of Walhalla day after day and uro nevor seen working. Last weok a gentleman sought diligently for a fow hands to work in lila field for a day or two. Ile approached numbers of these darkies on the streets, but 75 oonts a day was no inducement Tor thom to go to wojk. They proforred to loaf and get - a living by some other moans. This couditiou prevails, of courso, principally among the oolorod population, yet thero are cases whoro it is uoticoablo among the whites. Regardless of color, this loafing business should bo broken up. The vagranoy sootiou of tho Town Ordinances is explicit and should bo enforced. It ip as follows: bi<<moN 10. That any person found looi .ig ou tho streets of Walhalla, hav ing no visiblo moans of earning an hon est livelihood, shall bo deomod a vagrant. According to this seotiou a vagrant is 1 a person loafing on tho stroots, "having j no visible moans of earning an honest livelihood." It does not contain tho ? wordB "having no visiblo moans of sup port," which might bo technically con strued to moau that portion of tho anat omy which forms a conjuuction with well curbs^ stops and otbor convenient resting places about towu or tho Btoros aud fonces against which tho vagrants aro soon to lean for support for hours at a timo. A "visiblo moana of support" and a "visiblo means of oarning au honest livelihood," whilo synonymous terms, aro susceptible of very difforont con struction, and it is woll that Walhalla has incorporated in her Ordinances the latter modo of expressing herself on the vagrancy question. Lot tho law bo onforcod. If tho ones who clearly como under its operation cannot find something to do, tho town authorities should look thom up a job or two ou tho stroots. lt would bo mani festly to tho town's iuterost to have these loafers in tho stroots with picks and shovels instead of on tho sidewalks, with nothing better to do than inconven ience those who have business to attend to and do not wish to bo annoyod by seeking out a path through a gang of do nothings. lt ls a certain proposition that none of tho violators of this section aro capi talists; thoroforo, if they do not work for a living, from whenco docs it. conic? According to tho viow of tho average loafing citizen, tho two lines of tho old coon Bong explain both tho reason why ho doesn't work and whoro his living conics from, for, as bo reasons, "What's the use fer to work so hard? THO got :i 'oman in tie white folks' yard." If this doesn't explain tho "whonco" of j his living, there is still another proposi tion in reserve, and that is that on .Sun days, out in tho by-ways and hodges, tho do-notbingS aro shooting craps or shut fling cards at the expenso of some of their more industrious friends, who work all week and try to win at craps or cards on Sunday. This loafing business is one that should bo stopped, oven though it carried 110 sido lines, such ns gambliug and "lifting." As a compound proposi tion, however, it needs tho application of prompt and drastic measures, with no relaxation until the practico is squelched thoroughly. A Remarkable Record. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy ha? a re markable record. It bas benn in uso for ovor thirty years, during which time many million bottles have been sold mid usod. It has long beon tho standard and main reliance in the treatment of croup in thousands of homes, yet during al) this time no case has over boon reported to the manufacturers in which it failed to effect a cure. When given as soon as the child becomes hoarse or oven as soon as the croupy cough appears, it will pre vent tho attack lt is pleasant to take, many children Uko it. It contains no opium or other harmful substance and may bo givon as confidently to a baby as to an adult. Vor Balo by J. W. Roll, Walhalla; W. J. Lunney, Seneca. Fair Play Items.
