Rock HILL, November 15.-It will
be noted that In the different conven-
tions held in. the south recently, va
grancy laws have been suggested as
perhaps the most effective remedy for
the prevention of crime, and also as
an aid In relieving the present condi-
tion Of scarcity of labor. 1t has been
urged that the town and cities get to-
gether and pass uniform laws In re-
gard to this. The Rock Hill city coun-
Gil at its recent meeting enacted an
ordinance, which will, II rigidly en-
forced, cover the situation so far as
this section Is concerned. 1t provides
that all persons wandering from
place to place, without any known res
idence, or residing within the city.
who have no visible or known means
of gaining a fair, honest and reputable
livelihood, and all persons who acquire
a livelihood by gambling, dealing In
intoxicating liquors, or other unlawful
occupations, without having any other
visible means Of support, etc.; all per-
sons who lead idle, or disorderly lives;
all persons habitually loafing on the
streets, at public pool or billiard rooms,
or other public places: all who knowing
ly harbor thieves and felons and those
known to be of that character; all
persons not following some handicraft
trade or profession and not having
some known or visible means Of live
lihood; all who shall be able to work.
and occupying or being in possession
Of some piece of land shall not Guilt
vate such quantity thereof as shall be
deenned by the mayor or city COUNCIL
to be necessary for the maintenance OF
himself and family also all persons
representing publicly for gain or re-
ward. without being licensed, any play
or other entertainment Of the stage;
all tellers Of fortune for fee or reward.
and all sturdy beggars, are and shall
be deemed vagrants and upon convic-
tion thereof, shall be fined not exceed
prisoned not exceeding thirty days" II
certainly looks as though such a COM
prehensive ordinance as this Ifgtdly
enforced should clear up a lot Of pres
ent trouble.

Mr.. John Giles, who works In the on
mill at the Highland Park, met with
an accident this morning which viii
probably cost him his life. He was en-
gagged in adjusting a belt and leaned
too near the wheel In doing so. The
SQUARE head of set screw caught In
,the front of his blouse and he was
whirled over the shafting and against
the wall which was quite close to the
shaft. He was bruised before he could
be released. No bones were broken
but he received such internal injuries
and injuries to the spine that 1t Is not
thought that he can recover. He IL
already a cripple In one foot and Is
hard working man with a family &c
support.
