OBJECTIONS OFFERED.
Citizens Oppose Proposed Street Rail-
road in 9Th Street Southeast.

Citizens Oppose Proposed Street Rail-
road in 9Th Street Southeast.
Mr. A. H. Thompson of 324 sth street
southeast and 4nr. j. D. Croissant have
written letters to the District Commits
sioners offering various objections to sec
ton 10 of the proposed street railroad bill
recently presented to the Commissioners
providing for a cross-town line in the east
ern section Of the city. Mr.. Thompson,
speaking of that part of the rou e which
passes along Sth street southeast from
North Carolina avenue to PENNSYLVANIA
avenue, says there Is q. very serious objec-
ton to the operation of street railway
The Towers, Wallach and Eastern High
School buildings are in the square between
and D streets. The Towers and Wallach
schools both have entrances in 9Th street
Mr.. Thompson also calls attention to the
fact that there Is q parochial school build
ing fronting 9Th street, which has several
hundred children In attendance. He thinks
that the running of street cars on this
street would be serious menace to the
lives of more than a thousand children at
tending the schools mentioned.
A few years ago, Mr.. Thompson saws a
street railway company was required to
take up its tracks In front of the Peabody
school building fronting Stanton Square,
after child had been run over and killed
by the cars.
Mr. Croissant protests against that part
of the proposed route extending from Sth
street southeast on North Carolina avenue
to 11th street, sayins the occupation Of this
avenue by street oars would permanently
disfigure one ms thu most beautiful thor
oughfares in Snnthsast Washington, which
ought to be praserved for driving purposes
Mr.. Croissant nays tthe object sought by q
cross-town railxoadcould be ACCOMPLISHED
just as well by sconAtnuing south from Lin
coin Park along i1fh street to Pennsylvania
avenue.
Another alternative would be to run a line
through 9Th stRset fDr it's entire length from
Florida avenuerto Bsnnsylvania avenue but
he thinks the operation Of the cars past the
several school ibuih1ings located in Sth
latter route. He - in favor of tne line
running down Florida avenue to 11th street
and across town on that street to Pennsyl-
yania avenue.

Editor ADVERTISER: Having
heard that some of Col. Talberts
political enemies are trying to in-
iure his bright prospects for be-
Ing elected Governor OF South Car
ollna by circulating all sorts of un-
true reports on him, 1 desire to
say word in his defense. One OF
the things said is that be is close
listed, and helps nobody. These
statements are absolutely false. l
have known Col. Talbert, and lly-
ed close>to him for number of
years, and do not know of a more
generous, big-hearted and liberal
man in all our country. He is a
pillar in his church, and is literal
in all his contributions to the va
rlous charitable causes. He is very
generous to the schools of the
county, paying :he tuition ofquite
a Lumb Der of poor children whose
parents are unable to pay it them
selves, and assisting wherever e
school-house or church is being
built. And he is liberal with the
poor to my knowledge. 1 know of
manv men today who woul6 have
lost their BONES aud been turned
out of doors had it not been TOR
Col. Talhert's kindness Ii saving
their homes for them. / am not
writing what l have heard or any
thing like that, but l am writing
what Iknow,and if anybody doubts
these these facts let tIem come to
me and will tell them for ]
know what kind of a man Col.
Talbert is. In all of lis public life
he has favored the interests of the
laboring people, whether they work
in the factory or on the farm, or
any where else, and be is absolute
ly trustworthy, fully qualified to
fill the nigh office of Governor,anl
ls christian gentleman anu w III
worthy of the hearty support of the
masses of the peop'e whether they
be rich or poor, high or low, and |
appeal to them in his behalf AID
say if you want to elect Il man who
will discharge we'll and faithfully
and fe1rlessly the duties of chiet
executive of South Carolina vot"
for w. J. Talbert, for | knog him
and know him to be alright and
all these reports and campaign
