SAY THEY DO NOT WANT WORK
Scores of Loiterers In Americas Who
Do Nothing.

Americas, like many other cities in
Georgia, is thickly infested with class
of vagabonds who walk the streets here
in idleness, day and night, and who
positively refuse to work for one at
any price.
Look on the corners today and you
will see them loltering there.
OF course there are some white
'sports," but nineteen-twentieths Of
the idle class are negroes, who do not
want work of any kind.
AS evidence of this, a business man
being short of help day or two ago,
accosted several of these black ''po-
sers," offering steady work at a dollar
a day. Each refused, saying that he
didn't want a job"
Thus they Will not work in town,
and of course laugh at even the idea of
going to the country.
How do they live? Just go along
Lee, Taylor, College or any residence
street tonight between s and $40,
when the cooks, carrying buckets and
bundles, start home and are joined by
these escorts.
Is there no vagrant law here that
will reach this idle class?

THE THEATRE WAS CROWDED,
Immense Audience Saw Amatuers
Last Night.

Not in years, if ever before, has
such an audience filled Glover's opera
house as on last evening when proba.
bly, 1900 people saw the amateur per-
Torrance given under the auspices of
the local chapter Daughters of the
Confederacy.
And rarely has q more entertaining
program been presented,
More than 200 young ladies and lit
tie children of Americas took part, and
cleverer company" was perhaps
never assembled on this stage, or any
other.
And the crowd; Long before the cur
tain was rung up all of the 400 seats on
the first floor were taken, while the
creme de Ia creme" of society, not so
fortunate as to get seats there, for
once stood on equality with the gal
lerY god.
The house, for once, was crowded to
its utmost capacity.
And the program was all that the
most exacting could expect. Big and
little folks performed their several
parts splendidIy.
First, the Lilliputian wedding was a
beautiful feature, the baby bride,
Edith Rightower, and little tot of a
groom, Leon Barnett, winning the ad-
mlration of all, as did ''the little min
lister" Lawson Stapleton the brides
maids, groomsmen and all,
Part second "The Sculptor's Dream .
was indeed dream of beauty, with
its animated statues and appropriate
music rendered.
The little play entitled "Puss in
Boots" was we'll staged and elected
unstinted admiration and applause
A score of Amerlcus' fairest maidens
and gallant young SWANS took leading
parts.
Part third was the grand finale and
carnival, when such special features as
a hoop drill, clover drill, scarf drill,
royal party, and grand tableaux were
presented by beautiful young ladies
The chorus singing was exceptionally
fine.
The vocal selections by Miss Hollo-
way of Tennessee and Miss Jessie
Morgan of Americas were exquisiteIy
rendered aud received rapturous APP
plause. Sweeter voices were never
heard here.
1t would require columns OF space to
ind1vidualize and speak of the merits
of each tiny tot and fair participant
but it can truly be said that the per
Torrance was excellent, and we'll en-
tertained the appreclatlve audience.
The Daughters of the Confed eracy
and those who so kindly aided then
should indeed feel proud of the sue
cess achieved.

ARTIFICIAL COAL.
a Germans Secret Process Will Make
Fuel Cheap.

In the Henshot dye and soda fac
tory, near Mannheim, Germany, is a
workman named Montag, who, it is
reported, has invented substitute
for coal which costs about rs cents
per 220 pounds to manufacture. Peat.
is the basis, with the addition Of GER
tain chemicals which, upto the pres
ent, are the secret Of the inventor.
Parties who have seen the product
burn say that it gives a great heat,
burns with a bright flame, and leaves
no Stag and only small quantity Of
white ash. Certain Mannheim cap
ifalists have tried to obtain the secret
from the inventor by offering him a
position as director ii a company to
be established, giving him d salary ct
1000 and two per cent. of the net
profits; but he has refused this offer,
because be wants to control the sale
of the invention himself. Capitalists
now claim that Montag asks too high
a price. Mr.. Gehrig, the secretary
of the Mannheim chamber Of COM
merce, has, it is said, undertaken to
procure the necessary means to COM
menee the manufacture of the article
in partnership with the inventor.
They have bought 25 acres Of peat
land and have bonded 125 more ii
the vicinity Of Hoekenheinl. where
they will erect the necessary build
ings, large enough to keep several
hundred men at work It's figured
that the daily output will be so tons.
It is said that the peat is thoroughly
dried, ground by a machine, mixed
with the chemicals, and pressed into
brick shape.
