TO MAKE IDLE NEGROES WORK.
Mississippi Has a New Vagrancy Law
ir1 Operat;Or,

Mississippi Has a New Vagrancy Law
in Operation.
The new vagrancy law Of Mississippi,
which recently went into effect, has
caused panic among the negroes of
that State. The new vagrancy SYSTEM
which has met with much favor in the
South, having already been adopted by
Georgia ;Nld Alabama and being likely
to be ADOPTED in Louisiana and Virginia
in the next few months, is borrowed
from the so-called labor laws of Nicdra-
qua and other Central American repub-
lies. The Central American peon shows
a great Discrimination to work. To meet
this Unborn laziness, the government re-
Quires every one to be employed. If not
employed he is seized by the government
and his services as a laborer are sold.
The Mississippi statute provides that
every person must have a means of live
lihood, a sufficient income or work that
will provide him with a living. If with
out visible means of support he is pro-
nounced a vagrant and sent to prison;
and while in prison the State may en-
ploy him III road construction, in leYee
building or in other public work
The Legislature which passed the act
adopted at the same time a new road
law. based upon the theory that the
State would have at its command force
of several thousand Migrants whom it
would be able to set to work at the
roads. Ii the calculation proves correct
Mississippi, which is very deficient in
roads just now, will have one of the best
systems of highways in the Union. The
law makes no distinction of race or color,
but at the same time it will affect a
hundred negroes for every white.
