A correspondent of the Southern
Plantation writes as follows about
the flavor OF a we'll known plant:

Vagrancy.
Birmingham News.


imprisonment as a punishment will
not abolish the large proportion OF
the vagraucy in the cities and towns
of the South. A great many Of
the vagrants are willing to run
the risk of term in prison rather
than go to work. A good many
Others are not frightened into "get-
ting busy" by actual Imprisonment.
1t is not q serious punishment to
them, and they care very little about
it. The worst kind of punishment
for an habitual idler and loafer is to
put him to work. He hates work
worse than he fears imprisonment.
To fill prisons with vagrants who
are a charge upon the public and
must be taken care of at the public's
expense while they are doing nothing
to even hel lp pay for their own sup
port does not seem fair to the tax
payer upon whom the expense falls.
He is workingman and has no dis
position to pay for the support of
able bodied and worthless idlers.
But that is not the worst of it.
Imprisonment as a punishment does
not abolish vagrancy, and in the
Southern cities does not seem to
have greatly reduced it. There is
good reason to believe that hard
labor will do much toward improving
the situation. Nearly every South
ern town has dozens and some OF
them hundreds of worthless idlers
hanging around the streets, congre-
eating in joints of one sort or anoth-
er, and not only having a demorali-
zing effect upon Others who are lazy
by nature and inclined to get out of
work as far as possible, but breeding
crime. They are menace to any
community. There is no more truth
full saying than that san idle brain
is the devils Workshop" 1t is illus
trated every day in the week in the
cities and towns OF Albania. A large
proportion OF the crime committed
in these cities and towns can be
traced to vagrancy. Here in the
birmingham district nearly every
large industry is suffering for labor.
Liberal wages are paid to men who
know how to do anything and are
willing to do it, and yet often as
many as a hundred idiers are seen
loafing in a district scarcely larger
than a block. Let q trained bear
with ring in his nose come along,
, or a cheap band march through the
streets, and you will notice hundreds
OF people following them. and you
wonder at how many people there

Strangers Take Us In.
Richmond News Leader.

One of the most curious facts of
human nature is the fascination ii
stranger or an outsider has for the
average man or woman. Possibly it
is the charm of novelty. 1t is a ia
miliar episode in nearly every COM
munity, however, to have a stranger
come in and induce people to do
things which they would not do for
life long acquaintance or their most
trusted or intimate friends.
The obsessions, or brain cloud, or
disease, or tendency, or whatever it
is, goes even further. People will
walk by the doors of merchants whom
! they have known all their lives,
perhaps to whom they owe money at
the very moment, and buy pOstotfice
orders to pay iE distant cities for
goods which the home merchant
could furnish more conveniently and
for the same money, or cheaper. All
kinds Of perapatetic and itinerant
agents and dealers send out circulars
and lave women flock to their dis
plays at hotels-women who usually
are fairly sensible and public spirited
at that-and pay higher prices than
they would have to pay for exactly
the same goods furnished by local
merchants and shop-keepers, who do
business, pay rents and taxes here
and help to keep the town going
We have heard of cases of families
which collected heavy rents from
merchants and deliberately took the
money the merchants paid them and
spent it in Philadelphia, New York
or elsewhere for the same goods their
tenants were trying to sell.
And after it has happened here and
elsewhere that takers without proper
references or credentials have come
and sold things which the most trust
ed citizen of the community could
not have sold, have induced cautious
and long-headed business men to
} make investments into which no fell
lOw-citizen could have persuaded
them possibly.
This curious trait is worth some
study by medical and scientific peo-
pie. Possibly some operation might
be performed to cure it. Some brain
specialist may find the exact location
of the nerve or brain section which
induces people to trust the stranger
in preference to home grown human
ity and to prefer sending their money
abroad rather than to keep it in its
own territory. Once located the seat
OF the malady might be removed, as
we are told now the doctors can re-
move the disposition to badness from
a body's brain and the tendency to
vanity from a girls.

Rich Square Roanoke-ChowanT Times.
In discussing the pistol toting habit
the Henderson GOLD LEAF says that
''judges inveigh against this sort of
thing in their charges to the grand jury,
and then listen to the pitiful pleas made
in behalf of the fellow with the gun and
let him off little worse punished than
getting a good scare-if 40 much as
that
Exactly SO. We have listened to many
charges to grand juries in which the
crimes of carrying concealed weapons and
running blind tigers were inveighed
against, and then later read the court
proceedings in which was entered ''iudg-
ment suspended on payment OF costs"
or fined only a nominal sum, which in
many cases was later remitted, in cases
OF pistol toting and running blind tigers,
that we have about quit making any
mention OF the judges charge to the
grand jury in our paper. We prefer to
let their works, instead OF their words,
make their record. 1t is the actual pun
ishment, and not the threats of punish
ment, that prevents crime There is no
sort of doubt but that the punishment
inflicted by Judge Purnell of the Federal
court, in the few liquor cases from
Northampton that have gone before him,
has done more to break up the blind tiger
business in Northampton than all the
cases that have been tried in our Superior
Courts for this county in forty years.
The blind tiger men fear to go up in Raj
eigh before Judge Purnell. There they
feel the punishment will sure follow con-
viction. We regret to state these facts
to even think that the Federal Court is
more efficient in any particular than our
State courts, but in cases it is necessary
to acknowledge our faults, and point out
shortcomings in order to improve.

Dear SH'-What will it cost to SOW ten
acres half wheat and half daisy mixed and
whatll the crop be worth?
We don know what daisy-Seed costs, nor
how bulky it is; we suspect half wheat and
half daisy would make big crop of daisies
and last long time; the wheat might be
short.
The parable throws some light on the cost
of paint half whitewash. Whitewash.
mixed half,and-half with paint, is all-paint
in look and feel indeed nine-tenths of the
paint in the stores is part whitewash :;
some half some more, some less.
PANT has to be spread with the brush the
surface prepared, the ladders scaffolds
pulleys and ropes arranged and moved,
there's great deal of labor in putting paint
on; It costs 81 to 81 gallon to do it.
What does 1t cost to paint whtewash
Just the same. Half whitewash? Just the
same. 1t doesn't seem worth while, for the
