On motion above ordiuouco. read third time and on motion adobtod in regular scission of cuoueil, Sept 5th, 100$. J. H. Palmer, Mayor. J. L. Cochran, Clerk of Council. Must Work or Run. The example -,et by the au¬ thorities of Valdosta and Lown¬ des county in opening aggres¬ sive warfare against idlers should be followed by the authorities of every other county in Georgia. Now is the time when the va* grancy law should be getting in its work. With the heaviest kind of a demand fur labor, white and black, no man who is willing to work need remain idle. The con dition reported from Valdosta — “this early in the harvesting sea¬ son the farmers are finding trou¬ ble in employing hands to pick cotton, while the streets of the city are thronged with idle negroes”—is true of other counties and other sections as well. Tt-is should not be permitted anywhere in the state. Here in Atlanta, in the other large cities and the smaller cities, and in the towns, there are undoubtedly many who belong to the class of idlers. The vagrancy law points the way toward the solution of a condition which is altogether bad. Those negroes and white men who are not working or will not work and who, in consequence, become a burden upon the var¬ ious communities, should be forc¬ ed to work or run. There is no room for idlers in Georgia.—Atlanta Constitution. — - 1 » * — • — - The Stomach is the Man. A weak stomach weakens the man, because it cannot transform the food lie eats into nourishment.
