♦ SANCTUARY. 4
By Isabel S. Mason.
Old songs there are whose notes ring
ever sweet,
And old-time flowers that still en
chantment bear;
Because some voice inspired sang the
strain,
Some heart that worshipped set the
fragrance there.
With toil we tread the common walks
of life,
In haste to crowd with work eactu
passing'day;
Yet some old song, some quaint old
fashioned bloom,
Will set a star to show us where to
pray.

LIRGEMES OF
NEGROES HAVE IEFI
OH PROKIRK
Approximately two hundred negroes
have been deported from Americus dur
ing the past week by agents of manu
facturing concerns who have canvassed
Americus and Sumter county in search
of labor. Some of the negroes have
been detained by the police because of
various charges.
The last detachment of laborers left
yesterday afternoon, having been col
lected by M. B. Harralson, represent
ing the Medford Aluminum company.
It was first thought that the city
of Americus might secure a special li
cense tax of SIOO from these agents,
but City Marshal W. T. Maynard stated
this afternoon that he was unable
(to collect the tax under the city ordi
nances.
A license of SSOO is prescribed by the
state, but Tax Collector Brown Small
was unable to secure this sum under the
law.
The leaving of so many negroes has
caused wide comment in Americus and
the county. It is possible that some
action will be taken on the matter as
the labor is essential at this season
c r the year. It is said that the parties
include all classes of the colored pop
ulation—from the best to the worst.
The last party goes to Tennessee.
Previous crowds of negroes have left
for South Carolina, Massachusetts and
Connecticutt.
