Atlanta. Ca. Especial to The Broad

are too many idle men Of both races
permitted to loaf around the corners
along Central Avenue and it is the
desire Of the Eagle to see that every
loafer is chased off the streets by the

One other prominent Negro citizen
said: i think a grave mistake is
being made by one or two of our daily
papers in heralding a race riot every
time white and a Negro citizen start
