Idleness and Pauper Expenses.

One of our prominent business men
approached one of the crowds of loafers
who can be seen at different points in
our city on almost every pleasant day,
and endeavored to secure the assistance
of several Of their number in a piece Of
clean work he had on hand; and In spite
of the fact that he made a substantial
offer not one of the strong and able
bodied men importuned could be induced
to work.
Different citizens have at various times
spoken of the difficulty Of securing the
services of men for work about their
premises at home or at their places of
business, and, judging from the frequency
with which this complaint is heard, there
would seem to be need of measures to
bring about the remedying of this situa-
ton. There are probably a few common
laborers out of employment in the city
who really want places. even while citi-
Gems are searching for help; and if some
means of bringing the two together could
be devised, It would be n great conven-
fence to the one and a pronounced ad-
vantage to the other. Possibly laborerf
out Of employment and willing to work
could leave their names at the police Of
fee where residents in search of he'll
could apply. Some more practical solu
ton of the difficulty may suggest itself
but in the meantime, If men leave theii
names there and the department notify
the Free Press, we shall be pleased tC
publish the fact and cooperate in any
other way in an effort to remedy this sit
uation.

THE BUTCHER PAID THE BILL.

Judge Moore of Montreal owns a dog
that had contracted n bad habit of steal
ing meat from the shop where the judge
deals The other evening while the Judge
was looking around for what he wanted,
with usual care, the dog was also making
his selection, which CHANGED to be a
choice s1.Gj roast just ready for a custo-
mer The helpless butcher looked after
the disappearing dog, then turned to the
occupied judge and asked him what he
would do If a customer came into his
shop with a dog that stole a piece of meat
like that. why. I'd send him the bill
and make him pay for it, said the unsus-
pecting arbiter of justice. Next day the
Judge received a bill for sl6o. He was
angry. but not to be outdone he i'm
mediately sent the butcher a bill of $500
for legal advice, and the butcher paid it."

Different Ways of Assisting Voters

In view OF the varied experiences OF
residents of Vermont in dealing with
the problem of assisting voters at the
polls our readers may be interested In
developments along this line In Massa-
chusetts, as brought out in connection
with preparations for caucuses In Bos-
ton. Inasmuch as Tuesday was n feast
day observed as part of the Jewish new
year festival, and no orthodox Jew Is
permitted to write during the three days
thus observed, application was made to
the election commissioners to designate
some caucus officer at each polling place
to mark the ballots OF such Hebrews as
might appear. In support Of this appeal
1t was urged that its refusal would mean
the practical disfranchisemen of several
thousand voters.
The commissioners took the application
under Amusement and after elaboration
announced that it would be impossible
to grant the relief asked for. 1t was

Rutland and Proctor carrying small

not create demand. There IS sufficient

it by house to house canvass. 1t is

WILL BE A LIVELY FIGHT.
nan DOugherty Will Try COncIu-
stOns With Ike Cohen.


Tonight in the arena of the Savan-
,ah Athletic Club Dannie Dougherty,
sx-champion hantamweight boxer of
the world, and Ike Cohen, the clever
little English boxer, will meet in
twenty-round bout for a decision.
That the bout will be a good one,
no one doubts. Both men are in the
hest of condition, and unless a knock
out is delivered the fight will go long
ways. probably to the end. Dougherty
is conceded to be the cleverer of the
two. though what Cohen lacks in this
mart of the game he makes up in
strength and aggressiveness. With
these respective qualities in each man
a rafting good go may be expected.
Al McMurray, who was with Tommy
Eeltz in Boston last September when
Cohen fought him a twelve-round
draw, writes from New York as fol-
lows relative to Cohen and his opinion
of the mill:
81 know this boy Cohen and know
that he can punch. He will be after
Dougherty the whole way, and 1 am
certain Danny cannot put him out.
saw this because 1 handled Feltz
against him in Boston last September,
and the best we could get was a
draw.
cohen asked me after the bout if
7 would give him another chance at
Feltz. He said he had only arrived in
this country a few days before the
fight and had had no time to get in
condition. Feltz put many a hot one
into him and 1 thought we would have
no trouble to drop him in a few
rounds, but to my surprise, the fur
Their we went the better the English
man got. 1 thought we chad a shade
the best of it but the referee decided
the bout a draw.
I'm my opinion Dougherty will have
lots of trouble to beat Cohen. He may
sneak a decision on points, but 1 doubt
it, as Cohen will fight hard so as to
get another chance at Feltz, which I
have promised him if he wins"
The bout will begin at 10 o'clock,
Dougherty having with him Joe Tobin
and Pete Mamie. while Cohen will
have either Pat Raedy. A. Pincus, or
Jack Durane. Previous to the bout a
six round preliminary will be furnished
by Young Jollie and Young Sullivan,
two likely youngsters who are we'll up
in the game and should furnish an in
teresting argument. Shorty jenkins
will referee the bout.

NEW BROOM FACTORY
VIII be Started Feb. 10 by George
Schwarz & Sons.

Savannah will shortly have a new
broom factory. 1t is now in construc-
ton, and if expectations result as an
ticipated, will be ready to begin opera
lions by Feb. 10.
The new factory will be at the corner
of Anderson street and Atlantic ave-
nue., and will be owned and operated
by George Schwarz & Sons. Work on
the building was started about a week
ago,and is being rapidly pushed to COM
pletion, and unless something unfor-
seen happens, the concern will be
ready to commence work on the above
mentioned date.
The building is of wood, thirty by
ninety feet in size. with a ceiling fif-
teen feet high. The latest machinery
will be installed, and it is the intention
of the proprietors to turn out any kind
of broom, from the cheapest at 81 rs
per dozen, to the best at S. per dozen.
When seen yesterday, Mr.. Schwarz
could not tell exactly what the output
of the factory will be, but he stated
that it will be much greater, and pos
sibly double, that of the present fac
tory he is running in this city. This
latter factory has a capacity of from
fifteen to twenty dozen broomS daily,
and If the new factory turns out double
the quantity it will give a business of
from thirty to forty dozen brooms per
day.
The output will be devoted entirely to
the wholesale trade. no article being
retailed by the factory. Mr.. Schwarz
would not say whether or not he will
consolidate the old factory with the
new, but the impression was given that.
he will operate for the present, at least,
both places Independent of each other.
About thirty hands will be employed
daily in the new factory, and the pro-
prietors have assurances already of
sufficient business to make employment
steady.
The broom straw will be received
from Norfolk, Va, and will be of the
best quality and quantity available. 1t
will be received in large quantities, the
first consignment being expected in a
few days.
