Cheap Hacks.

Editor Sor:-I am glad to see the suggestion

the one great want of our city, and have been
surprised that 1t has not been started long ere
this
TIE only parties likely to oppose such a
movement are the hackmen; but II they will stop
and consider the matter for moment think
they will see that it will be decidedly for their
interest As 1t is now. it is safe to say that they
are not employed one>quarter CT the time,-
expense OF keeping two horses, harness and
hack go on all the time. Now, by changing to
the one horse cab, they will reduce the amount
penses, materially; and then, If they will adopt
reasonable rates, they will double or quadruple
their business, SO that in the end they will make
more money than under the present plan. The
lest plan probably would be TO organize COM
papy, in which the present hack owners could
all take stock In proportion to their means:
and to aid them ia converting their present
Investment into that of the new company, ar
TaDgements could be made by which committee
should receive and set value on what they
have In the way OF horses, hacks, harness, &C.,
to turn In and credit each man accordingly
the company retaining such OF their outfit as
will answer for the new arrangement, and sell
Ing the balance. By such an arrangement
there would be very little change required. ,ex-
cept In carriages, and those now engaged in
the business would still retain It. 1t cannot be
long before such change Will take place, and
II the backmen oppose Ii the result will be that
the business will pass into the hands OF new
company or set OF men, and the hackmen, like
Otbello. will find their occupation gone. II
they exercise ordinary business intelligence,
they will themselves move in the matter, and
thus retain the business. Ii they VIII not, then
Will be one to join in organizing company
that will bring about this much needed reform.
There is no one thing in our city that has pro-
duced more Ill feeling against the national
capital than the present and past hack service.
1t is behind the times, unnecessarily cumber-
and to the good name of our city, that it should
be remedied without delay. A CITIZEN.

Il. Greene once the most notorious and sue.
cessful gambler In America, and afterwards
known as an exposer of gamblers tricks, is
now aged and poverty stricken in Philadelphia
From 1881 to 1912 he won money right and left,
not only from amateurs, but heavily from pro-
fessional players. On one occasion he took
$50, 0CO from party Of card sharpers, In three
cards, and invented several OF the swindling
devices still used by faro dealers. At length
he renourced his evil wayf restored great
deal of money to men whom he had robbed,
and spent the rest of his fortune In the ad-
yccacy of laws against gambling. The statutes
on the subject In Pennsylvania and Ohio were
tnres and books he described the means by
which he had won, but this after while failed
to Weld him living. his family are now sup

methods Of cultiVating the soil. these are the
matters that will engage the serious attention
OF our people. We do not wish to be under

apology Of commercial non. intercourse with
other portions OF the country. This would not
only be absurd but impossible. We cannot get
along without many things the North produces
and sends us, and In addition to this fact CON-
mercial intercourse promotes those friendly
relations which every good citizen should wish
to see exist between all parts Of the country
For We are not only SouthernerS, but above
all Americans. What We do wish TO see, how
ever, is that the South shall be less dependent
on other portions OF the country than she has
heretofore been, that she shrll rouse herself to
still greater eXertions than she has ever made
before and realize her own capabilities and her
own powers. This we think she will do, and
