A USEFUL INVENTION.

Mrs. Mary M. Livingston has invent
ed and had patented in the United
States, Great Britain and Canada, a
suspender waist for infants.
The waist has safety pins attached
to it, back and front, which are de-
tachable, the front by a button and
the back by piece of elastic, the latter
can be taken off with the safety PIN
thereby making it an easy matter to
wash the waist without injury to the
elastic.
Every mother who has seen the in
vention thinks it the best thing on the
market, and wonders why such an in
ticle has never been thought of before
few have been manufactured and
used and those using them would not
be without them, and think them in
dlspensable. They retail at 25 cents
so they are in reach of ALL
These waists will soon be manufac-
tured extensively in New York, and
every one is of the opinion there is
big" money IN them, from the fact
that there are fully 100000 infants in
this country alone, who will require
them.
The idea of the waist was suggested
to Mrs. Livingston by noticing the
trouble in keeping an undergarment on
her little boy in place, and putting her
wits together, the invention was the
result.
Mrs. Livingston was brought up in
Savannah, and resided here until her
marriage. Since then she has made
Thomasville, Ga, her home. She is a
daughter of F. l. Mccall of this city

The American Cigar Company is still

convene at the usual hour and Judge
Barrow will then announce a recess

The December appearance docket is

The recommendation of the Su-
perior Court grand jury that the va
grancy law. better known as the Cal
vim act, be vigorously enforced in
Chatham county, is looked upon by
officials as an insinuation that they
have not properly done their duty. and
that the law has not received the at
tention that it should.
1t is a we'll known fact that few
cases of vagrancy have been tried in
the courts. but this is in no wise due
to the negligence of the courts and
officials, they say, rather to the care
that it is necessary to be exercised in
picking up every person against whom
a charge has been preferred. A prom
inent official expressed the idea yes
terday when he said that "the law is
impracticable in many senses"
If the cast net of the law were
thrown out to bring every person into

get witnesses to swear against per-

Injustice of Law.
There are many negroes in SaVan-
nah amenable to this law on whom il
would be unjust to visit punishment.
They are engaged in occupations which
only require their services at certain
seasons, and they are forced to lay
up enough money during their busy
time to last them for the rest of the
year. Notable among these are the
longshoremen, who are employed on
the docks of the steamship compa-
MES. All of these men make good
money when they are at work, and
lay aside enough to carry them through
the dull seasons, when they have only
few days work during each month
In the hands of the unscrupulous
