Novel Plan to Keep from Feeding
Lazy Husbands.
The Americus man possessing such
rare treasure as good cool, or even
poor one, will not jndorse the plan
proposed by citizen of a neighboring
town to the end of breaking up the
basket and tin bucket habit. This cit
izsD, who for years has been feeding
non working husbands and lovers via
the bucket route, proposes police in.
spection of all buckets carried home by
the black queens of the kitchen. This
plan would prove more forceful than
salutary and open rebellion would re
salt. While it is a known fact that
hundreds of able~bodied negro men in
Americas as in every other town, are
