The Record "a Transient Mendicant
Claimed in Savannah.


Claimed in Savannah.
Recent discussions of indiscriminate
charity in Savannah have brought up
many things to sustain the proposition
for an organized charity, operated under
one head and by persons who are in posi-
lions to know the merits of the claims of
mendicants.
Savannah has small army of beggars
that rightfully belong to the city, but
there is always another transient army
operating in the city and, in a majority
of instances, the members Of both classes
amounts far greater than one would nat
urally suppose. Many Savannah mer-
chants as well as individuals devote to
mendicants all pennies that come into
their possession. Many ladies have adopt
ed the same practice, and it is reasonable
90 believe that from these sources the
everlastingly-at-it beggars on Bull ana
BToughton streets reap quite a harvest.
Some months ago Savannah was visited
by a fidder-"Bind Dave" and his one
legged wife, who did a thriving business
for a few days and then disappeared for
pastures new. Perhaps few of those char
liable people who contributed to this
twain are as comfortably fixed in this
worlds goods as Mr.. Blind Dave and
his manned wife. Their home is at Lex
ington, KY, and while they are not re-
puted wealthy, it is well understood by
the citizens of that city that Blind
Dave is not having any difficulty in
making both ends meet" In the same
city some years ago an old negro rag
picker and charity subject was accident
ally killed and it was subsequently dis
covered that she had a snug sum boarded
in her rude home and a good sized
amount in a savings bank.
Not long ago one-legged young man
street and begged the passersby for nick
canvas and it was his custom to present
which he had lost a leg and proclaiming
his thorough worthiness. In a Congress
street store he got his cards mixed and
instead of presenting his printed prayer
he handed a gentleman a sleeping car
ticket which showed that the mendicant
came to town in Pullman luxury. He
was much confused by the mistake and
got laxative In order to explain. His ex-
PLANTATION was not effective and he was
persuaded to give some of the inside
workings of his business" as he termed

city and that he usually averaged $40 a
day while he works" here. In support
of this statement he produced rolls Of
bills from several pockets, and handful
of silver from the pocket he was then
filling. The next day he disappeared,
