BNgN E NEWS-GAZETTE THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1902 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. A. A. Rose.

The freight and pas* senger business of Barnesville is grea ter now than it has been at any time since I came here four years ago—it is working us all to death and I do not know what we are to do for more room and force to handle the increasing busi ness—S.
