vAGRANTS MUST

Orders Issued by the Mayor that
All Who are Not at Work Be
Brought to Jail.

A crusade against loafers in Pensa-
cola, both white and colored, is to be
made. and it is expected that within
ten days the city will be pretty clear
of them or the Jail full. 1t is proba-
BILE that the alternative of leaving the
city or going to Jail will be given
them, as usual, in vagrancy cases.
The crusade against the Migrants,
this time, it is said, will be genuine
one. and will not stop after the Off
GERS have picked up few of the more
prominent loafers. And neither will
it be confined to the negroes, as the
orders embrace the white Migrants as
we'll as the colored
The matter has been talked over by
the mayor and marshal which resulted
in the determination to rid the city OF
all the loafing class. A man must
either be working or show visible
means of support in order to come
clear of the vagrancy charge. 1t VIII
be up to him to prove how he gains
a livlihood. 1t is aimed chiefly at
that class who hang around all night
bars and especially around the ten
derlo,n district, and who, although
well dressed, never have been known
to work or make any attempt at earn
ing a living.
The city authorities are of the opin-
ion that some of the loading class
should either be run out OF town or
learned to work, and if the officers DO
their duty there will be many defend
ants before the recorder under the
vagrancy law within the next few
DAYS.
