About LoaferB.
The following from the Charlotte
Obsrrrer fits so we'll for Columbia, or
any other city for that matter, that
we reproduce it in the hope that the
good suggestions made will be needed:
About ten years ago Charlotte was
emancipated from the habit of loafng.
From that time it prospered. For
merl,', in front of each store, the pro-
fessionals sat upon dry goods boxes,
whitfield sticks and talked over the
affairs of men, women and children
in the town. One man made a rule
that there could be no loafng in front
of his place of business. He was con-
sidered reckless. A little later cloth
ing house made the same rule. The
movement grew until to-day there is
not business house in Charlotte hav-
ing loafers in chairs and on dry goods
boxes in front Of any store. They
have been driven from one store to
another until now the native local
loafer has no place of refuge except
amongst the transient guests at the
hotels. He still gets out at night and
squats IN chairs that he never pays
for at the hotels and loafs in disguise,
as a transient guest of the house.
Charlotte has prospered in proportion
rs the loafing habit has been broken
up. The loafer not only produces
nothing, but he saps the energies of
the working man.
Some years ago the Observer wrote
of the emancipation of Fort Mill from
the loafng habit. The local paper at
Fort Mill copied the article and ex-
pressed pleasure in being written about
in that strain. Since then Fort Mill
has been prosperous by the efforts of
those people who are never seen whit
Ting sticks and loa6ng on the streets.
In the course of time in all our south
ern towns and cities the loafing habit
will be disgraceful, as 1t ought to be.
From that time forward every south
ern town and city will prosper.
In Rockinham the loafing habit has
been largely broken UP. As conse-
qucnce it is a prosperous town. Rock
Hill, in South Carolina, was never q
victim of the loa6ng habit, and it
always prospered. Founded, practi-
cally since the war, it has prospered
far beyond the adjacent towns that
are more than 100 years old.
TO all towns we would say : "If
you would prosper then drive out the
loafers.
Nothing is more Of nuisance than
to go into store to make 10 cent
purchase and have II loafers hear all
the talk about it, and then talk it over
afterwards.
To each and every town in the South
we say
IF you would prosper then break
up the loating habit. - Columbia Reg
