This Filthy Gang OF

Our attention has been called lately
to the large number Of vagrants on the
streets of our city. There are corners
where they are SO thick that ladies are
compelled to cross the street in order
to pass. Offer them work and their
faces present look of horror. Most
Of them wear good clothes and have
money in their pockets, but it is gotten

DDS. Such citizenship is not wanted
by any city. as it demoralizes good
labor and invites crime.
The command ''move on.' or ''move
outr' should be the password, and our
policemen should echo 1t down the line
and If they fail to go, the vagrant
should be ''moved in" for not obeying
the sign of warning. The excuse of
one days work or even one week, if
they have been In the city for any
length of time should not set them free
when brought before the mayor, but
If it can be proven that for even two
weeks they have been idle and were

should be given work even if the city
has to furnish it.

a chance to see and hear the great
poet of the Sierras," Joaquin Miller.
We need not speak of his ability as a
poet. He is well known to be one OF
the two greatest living American poets.
James Whitcomb Riley said OF Joa-
quin Miller's singing; "It is the
truest American voice that has yet
thrilled the echoes of our wild, free
land. and awakened the admiration
and acclaim of the Old World. No
marvel that our country is proud of
this proud child of hers, who in all
lands has sung her dawning glory, and
his own changeless loyalty to her."
He is great as poet and lecturer,
and IN hearing him you will have a
rare treat He will lecture on Alaska
and China.
Both entertainments will be given
under the auspices of the High School.
Tickets for both will be sold at 81, 90
cents each. Tickets for the separate
entertainments will be IS cents each.

vagrancy, and the man who can work
and won't work should be made to
work. Anyway they should be kept at
home, off the streets, and if they have
no home or place of abode, the city
should provide one for them.
1t is the duty of every good citizen to
point out to the officers Of the law, all
men who they know to be vagrants and
if called upon they should testify. II
this was done the complaints from this
source would be thing of the past,
and our city would hearof fewer mid
night burglaries.
Show the law you are backing 1t and
it will at once become power, before
which, crime will disappear. But on
the other hand, be a week-kneed broth
er, allow crime to flourish before your
ewes. and for fear of your own home or
valuables do not report it, but go
around the streets talking about your
officers of the law not doing their duty
and when called upon refuse 70 testify,
you fertilize it SO strongly that it takes
so firm root in your city that destruc-
tion of life alone destroys the crime.

them demand when you have men in
your city able to work and competent
to fill the places, who only remain be-
cause they can live in your city and do
nothing.
Start the move tomorrow, and drive
every vagrant in the city to work or

Landrum, the clever and accommodate

ago we felt it our duty through the

to the poor service their patrons were
receiving, which they promised to
right. This, by the addition Of new

in THE NEW ORLEANS
AND DGREENvILLE TRADE
WE NEED PUBLIC PARKS
AND BAND CONCERTS.
Where the Stay-At-Homes Nav En-
Joy Themselves.

Summer is fast approaching and the
question Of passing away the long, hot,
tiresome evenings to those who have
to remain in the city during the heated
term is one that should interest every
one.
The city has no parks where our
people may collect and spend few en-
ioyable hours each afternoon and even
ing together. There is only one solu-
tion we can see, and that is to secure
in some way, either by consent or lease,
the little park near the Methodist
church, and on 1t build a band stand
and seats for the comfort nf all who
care to spend an hour or two listening
to the band concerts.
There is no city in the state that has
a better band than Greenville and we
are confident arrangements can be
made with the members Of the band BY
the Board Of Trade, for a reasonable
sum, by which at least three concerts a
week may be given.
We understand that the Knights Of
Pythias will fix up this park for their
guests, and we suggest that the city
join in and make the fixtures substan-
tial, SO that they can be used during
the entire summer.
