I Jl ft*?* J f
Thinks the Patrol System Pre
ventiveof ‘‘Hell Raising.”
“The following article appeared
in Tuesday nights Journal. The
author is well known to the peo
ple of this section and is a former
newspaper man of no mean abil
ity. The article will be read with
interest.
Mr. Hall, of Bibb, says that
Blackburn’s bill, if passed, would
raise hell in Georgia. It seems
to me that such a hill would pre
vent vagrant negroes from raising
hell in this state. It would prove
a very effective method of enforc
ing our very lax vagrancy laws.
There are enough idle negroes
around every town and village in
each county in the State to run
one hundred plows. The class of
our quasi citizenship have no vis
ible means of support. Never
the less there idlers flourish and
grow lazy upon the victuals hand
ed out from the hack window of
our kitchens or carried off in the
ample folds of the cooks apron.
Every white family that employs
a negro cook knows that the gro
cery bill is increased fro 25 to 50
per. cent thereby.
These cooks usually purloin
enough to feed the rest of the
family, and if they have no im
mediate family the pelf goes on
just the same for the benefit of
the worthless negro boys around
the towns. This bill if passed
would force the idle negroes to go
out into the country where their
labor is needed. It would make
producers of them instead of con
sumers only. It would give the
chicken coop a rest and materially
reduce the grocery bill of the av
erage town family.
The country people would wel
come it as a piece qf legislation in
their favor, while the townfolk
would find it no disguised blessing.
Let ns have the patrol law.
