The DEVELOPMENT OF TIE SOUTH
his address before the convention of North
ern settlers in North Carolina, held in
Raleigh toward the close of the past month,
Major Pegram, Of Washington city, pre-
sented in glowing terms the evidences that
had come undsr his notice of the develop
ment of the South in her industrial and
mineral resources. "The new South, !"
said Major Pegram. "emerging from de-
vastating war without m cans, with energies
depressed, her system of labor entirely
annihilated and hope for the future almost
entirely gone, has put on new life, born of
necessity and trial, and is now soaring,
pb~nix-like, from the ashes of seemingly
overwhelming fate.''

MUST WORK OR DROWN.
A New Tramp Law Passed by the Supervfs
IF VVasfchaafar Gountv

New Tramp Law Passed by the Supervisors
of Westchester County.
New York Special.
The resolution offered by Mr.. Joseph B. See
in the Board of Supervisors Of Westchester
county. which provides for the drowning of
tramps If they fail to bail water, is no longer
looked upon as joke. All the humor was taken
out of it to-day by the adoption of the resolu-
ton by a vote of Ia to g. Westchester county
will very soon become one of the most disagree
able summer or winter resorts for tramps On
the face of this continent, because, under the
terms of this resolution the tramp must work
or die. As id!eness and life are very dear to the
Westchester tramp, the resolution Will strike
terror to his heart and compel him to shun that
county as future basis of operations
The resolution provides for the erection of a
building on the county farm, constructed
with apartments to be flooded with water to
the depth of six feet. When a tramp is caught
the justice or magistrate is required to sentence
him to the tramp pit. He is 20 be placed in one
of these compartments and the water is to be
turned on. To save his life he must bail the
water out as fast as it comes in, or in the Lam
guage of the resolution, "be submerged there
by"
The adoption of the resolution created a good
deal of comment in White Plains, because what
appeared to be a joke has been turned
into stern reality. When Mr.. See
called his resolution from the table and
moved its adoption there could be seen a good
many broad smiles on the faces of the members
and the visitors; but when the resolution was
adopted the smiles changed to looks of astonish
ment
1t seems that the Legislature will have to pass
an act permitting this mode of punishment be-
fore court can infiict it; but the place of pun
ishment can be built without the aid of the Leg
islature. Another resolution therefore
adopted, requesting the Senator and Assembly
men of the county to secure passage Of the spe.
cial tramp act as provided in the resolution.
The committee on superintendent of the poor
will erect the building.
