THE CALVIN LAW An Act that will Rid the State . of Vagrants and Idlers, if it is Properly Enforced. Below we publish the Calvin va grant law, which, if enforced, will be of great value to Georgia. As will be seen from reading its provisions, there should be little difficulty in securing convictions of the idle and vagrant classes that infest our communities. It will also be seen that the law makes it compulsory on all arrest ing officers to enforce its provi sions. The law makes it the duty of sheriffs, bailiffs and police offi cers to swear out warrants for all persons believed by them to be vagrants. The main features of the Calvin law, as amended by the Legisla ture, are as follows: 1. Persons wandering or stroll ing about in idleness, who are able to work, and have no property to support them. , 2. Persons leading an idle, im moral or profligate life, who have no property to support them and who are able to work and do not work. 3. All persons able to work, having no property to support them, and who have no visible or known means of a fair, honest and reputable livelihood. The term "visible or known means of a fair, honest and reputable livelihood" as used in this section, shall be construed to mean reasonably con tinuous employment at some law ful occupation for reasonable com pensation, or a fixed and regular income from property or other in vestment, which income is suffi cient for the support and main tenance of such person. 4. Persons having a fixed abode who have no visible property to support them, and who live by stealing or by trading or bartering stolen goods. 5. Professional gamblers, living in idleness. 8. All able-bodied persons who are found begging for a living or who cjuit their houses and leave their wives and children without the means of subsistence. 7. That all persons who are able to work and do not work, and who have no property or other means of support, but hire out their minor children and live up on their wages, shall be deemed and considered vagrants. 8. All persons, over sixteen years of age, able to work and who do not work, and have ho property ficer shall issue a warrant tor the apprehension of the person alleged to be a vagrant, and upon being brought before him,the said officer, and probable cause be shown, shall bind such person over to any court of the county having jurisdiction in misdemeanor cases. Any per son violating any of the provisions of this Act shall be deemed to be guilty of a misdemeanor, and, on conviction, shall be punished as prescribed in section 1039, volume 3, of the Code of 1895.

Editor John Temple (iraves, of the Atlanta Georgian, was an in teresteil anil observant spectator at the great demonstration in New York in honor of William J. Bry an and heard the speech delivered to the Nebraska statesman in Madison Square Darden. Follow ing are his impressions as wired to his paper: New York, Ang. 81.—It is the simple truth to say that Bryan’s speech last night has simply re vived the differences between the two wings of the Democratic party. The radical element of the party heartily applauded his utterance relating to the government owner ship of railroads. The conserva tive element shrugged its shoul ders, and notcaring to enter a pro test in the face of the present Bryan movement, contents itself with saying tljat it was merely an expression of his individual opin ion and not intended to he urged as a plank in the next national platform. Senator Simmons, of North Dani lina, lost a night’s rest and worry over it.

Grumbling. grounds for grumbling are sure to he ample. It is a cause of complaint with some that they are required to exercise any sort ol self-denial. If the weather is rainy there is grumbling; if it is dry the same sail note is heard, The dude may he afraid of a little wet or dust on his shoes; plain men should not. It is the part of wisdom for the farmer to reduce to the lowest pos sible point all occasion for dis satisfaction. He ought not to plant more than he can have cared for well. The arrangement should be to have every known element in his power right tor this. And the proper care is to be taken to know what is right. Reduce as far as possible the causes of dis satisfaction. The idea is to make our farming better and better, so that it can become the best calling in the world, and the life on the farm the most desirable, the grumbler find ing little or no employment there. —Home and Farm.
