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.

lio it now! This shop is ready to take your order now
and will deliver the printing “on time.”

The busiest season of the year will lie upon us in a few
weeks; and then, in the midst of hustle and hustle and

of stationery has disappeared or that a .job of printing you
should have ordered done weeks before, is not ready.
Don’t lose out in this way. IMace your order at this shop
for all needed printing—and do it now!
’This shop is always responsive to hurry calls for print
ing; and no matter when your order is received, we’ll get
it done “on time”—hut we’d rather do it now! There is
a lull in business .just before the beginning of the busy
season; we are not crowded with orders now as we will he
later. That's why we prefer to do it now. You should
have it done now because your printing will cost just the
same, and when the busy season hears down upon you,
that printed matter will be ready to use instead of being a
bother and 11 hindrance.
Place your order for printing NOW and place it at The
News office. There are reasons. Prompt execution of
orders, reasonable prices and high grade work are some of
them. These ought to he sufficient to secure and hold
your business. A few trial orders will settle the matter
and you’ll become a permanent patron of the News Print
ing Dompany, If your name is not on our hooks, let us
put it there. We want to get acquainted with you, if you
are a patron of print shops.
Finally—just remember—do it now!

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

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
