TO RURAL CARRIERS
Men of the Malls to Get Rest on
Full Paw.

The rural mail carriers of Sumter
county are rejoicing at the recent gov
ermental action which grants the rural
carriers of the country vacation Of
two weeks with full pay Congress is
thus going to be good to the men who
carry the mails. This means that each
carrier will draw full salary during b g
vacation, his work being done by a
substitute. II is estimated this will be
equivalent to an appropriation of 81, :
100000 annually. The Senate commit
tee has also provided that there shall
be no discontinuance of rural delivery
when once established, and that the
work of establishing routes shall be
continued until completed.

A HORDE OF oilers
ARE IN EVERY CITY.
Enforce The Vagrancy Law
There.
CHASE AWAY THE IDLE CLASS
And immigration Will Be Largely Set
tied-Desirable Class Wanted Here
on Farms, But a Surplus Can Be
Found Here Already

That there is sufficient idle labor in
Americus today-any day-to work
half the plantations in Sumter county
no one thorough acquainted with
the, situation well for moment doubt.
There are hundreds of them, in DEVILS
Dip and other localities also.
And in view of the fact that we are
working to the end of bringing immi-
grafton hereto all localities of Geor-
gia, the disposition of this class of idIers
here presents itself primarily.
Why are these hordes of negroes that
infest every town, Americas included,
permitted to remain? Why rot enforce
the vagrsncy law?
Some localities here are SO thickly in
tested that it is usually unsafe for one
to go through them An officer max
ing an arrest in DEVILS DIP, a locality
near one of the fertilizer plants, two
days ago, was told by negro to get
out and stay out
He says that dozens Ct ieIers were
lying about the houses there,
And this same condition OBJ aims in
nearly every city in the state. Either
the vagrancy laws are not enforced, or
cannot be enforced. Officers say it is
difficult to enforce them, as when ar
rests are made the prisoners are easily
sworn free.
Just now the various organizations
are fostering immigration. This is all
right. if a good class of foreigners is
brought in, but why not employ the
labor we have here already?
Dr.G.W. Drummer, Savannah's health
officer, discusses The question interest
Ingly. He believes In enforcing the
state vagrant law.
DR.. Drummer has had exceptional
opportunities to observe conditions
among the negroes in Savannah, and
stated recently that any day he could
traverse a certain section of the city
populated with them and count from
1000 to 1900 idle negroes,
'Some of them are habitualIy idle, .
he said, "some of them are two or
three day workers"
DIR, Drummer says that every city
could give quota 10 the country dis.
trIcts where labor is needed, and by
application of the vagrancy Law the
country districts could reclaim hun.
dreds of laborers from idleness, abso
lutte poverty and worthIessness.
DR., Drummer is inclined to aSree in
the opinion that the negro is the most
satisfactory laborer to be ha l for this
section.
The application of the law would have
two-fold effect for good, in his opin-
ion. It would rid the cities of worth
less element and would supply labor
in the places needing it. He looks
upon this as better than the importa-
ton of aliens.
And the same conditions existing in
that city are to be found in Americas
and every other city,
