A movement which is growing in popularity everywhere during these war times originated in New Jersey, Maryland, West Virginia and other states making it a crime for able bodied men to be idle or not regularly employed. Now comes the State of Georgia, which is taking steps to make men go to work or go to jail. The following dispatch appeared in the Washington Star:

"Atlanta, Ga., April 24, A rigid process of elimination of work slackers has been inaugurated in Georgia, calculated to dispose of vagrancy and general "no accountness" until after the war.

"A card system will be introduced whereby every laborer must be able to produce his card on demand to prove he has been actively employed that day. The card is to be punched by the employer every night as evidence that the work was done. "Georgia municipalities will be asked to amend their ordinances to make such a system effective."

Governor Catts has already issued a proclamation calling upon the sheriffs to rigidly enfore the Florida vagrancy laws which penalize idleness or being without continuous employment.

The principal address of the day was made by Rev. Dr. Duke, of Tampa, who was in the city conducting a meeting at the Baptist church. Dr. Duke gave a very strong talk to the men, in which he admonished them to lead wholesome lives while serving our country. He denounced the war and kings in general and said that as far as he was concerned he was thinking that King George take a hundred years' rest.

Rev. Dr. Davis was the next speaker. Dr. Davis told the men that they were going to fight in a good cause, and he gave some good advise regarding the proper conduct of American soldiers.

Dr. W. L. MacGowan made a short talk. He assured the men that they will have the support of the people at home and wished them the best of luch and a safe return.

The exercises were opened by singing America and after the addresses The Star Spangled Banner was sung. Rev. Burns acted as chairman.

J. W. Harrell, who was badly injured when his big Studebaker automobile turned over on him four miles above Bainbridge on Sunday, April 21, is still in a Bainbridge hospital recovering from his injuries.

Mr. Harrell was on his return home and was running along at a moderate rate of speed when the steering gear became locked and the brakes failed to work. The car struck the railing of a bridge and turned over, falling several feet over an enbankment, pinning its driver underneath. Mr. Harrell was knocked unconscious and when he recovered found the car on fire. Although he had several ribs broken and was badly bruised and cut, he managed to extract himself from the wreckage. By this time a passerby came to his assistance, put the fire out and carried Mr. Harrell to Bainbridge. The car was almost a total wreck.

Mr. Harrell lives with his family three miles east of Quincy on the Havana road.

Latest reports indicate that the injured man is recovering rapidly and that he will be able to leave the hospital probably some time during this week.
