attacked the Teachers Course of en-
tertainments. The teachers are not
to be criticised if now and then they
are imposed upon. Everyone is liza
able to such an experience. No insti-

of the patronage of the people than
the Teachers Course. | have been

DIsGRACEFUL CONDITIONS.

The attention of the public Is called
once more to the Central railroad
station. Conditions there some
times are disgusting and at all
times are disgraceful for a city of 3d.
600 population. The dingy little
waiting rooms, during the rush hours,
are packed, the air is foul, tobacco
smoke of various grades is so thick
on the mems side one can hardly see
across the room and the floor Is COW
cred with tobacco juice. For a man
who objects to these things he Is
given the alternative of going into
the women's waiting room, which is
already crowded with women and
children, or wait out on the platform
But that is not the only complaint.
Indeed, there are many of them, but
one of the others is that ever these
accommodations, as bad as they are,
are not opened for all trains. Satur-
day morning, one of the coolest OF
the winter, a party of men employed
by a local concern, was waiting to
take the early train which Is supposed
to arrive here around 5 o'clock in the
morning. The men were going to a
neighboring town to begin work.
The train, Saturday morning, was
over an hour late and the men were
compelled to endure the bitter cold
waiting for it. So severe was the
weather that IL of the party was
overcome and was forced to
return home.
1t is not the passengers fault that
a train is late and when it is adver-
tised to arrive at a certain time and
does not do SO there should be some
place for the passengers to wait. Can
not the city take some action to COM
the railroad to keep its station
open during train times?
Some people wonder why there is
such a popular feeling against cor
1%orations. Here is one instance that
irouses the public indignation. II
seems that the corporations, as long
is they can control legislation, will
continue to do as they please. The
)eople, if they want to accomplish
lnything, must look to the ballot box.
Appealing direct to the companies has
PROVEN to be useless. The NEWS
las, time and again, urged the people
o vote to wipe out bossism and cor
'oration control in politics. There
re signs that there Is an awakening.
he people must rule and the, sooner
he political rings and the corrupt
losses are kicked out the sooner will
omething be accomplished.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1906-12-10

has merely replied, what are you 60
ing to do about 1t? The present
threatened competition has awakened
the company, but we fear it is too
late. Better service to New Yor.:
across the island with an additional
ferry to Tottenville appeals to the
people and 1t is evident from the
public hearing Friday night that they
want it.

MONDAY, 10.
THEY WANT THE FERRY.

AS a result of the first public hear
ing on the question OF granting a
franchise to a ferry company at the
foot of Fayette street, it must become
evident to everyone that a vast ma
jority of the people of this city want
additional. facilities for crossing Stat
en- Island sound to T~ottenville,
Whether the landing be at the foot Of
Fayette street, Washington street or
on private property, the people want
it. There were Arguments of all
kinds at the hearing, but those abso-
lutely opposing any ferry whatever
were In a very small minority.
Just where to locate the ferry and
upon what conditions to grant the
franchise, is, therefore, the question.
While Fayette street has its advan-
tages, the arguments in favor Of
Washington street, thus far, seem to
have the most merit. Perth Amboy
has an extensive water front. The
city is thickly populated over a large
area. With a ferry at Smith street
the southern section of the city is
well accommodated. 1t would seem,
therefore, that if another ferry is to
be built it should be at least as far
north as Washington street. This
would give accommodation to the
large population there, and as Wash
ington street leads directly west, it is
a main ~thoroughfare for that section
of the city which is bound to grow
the most rapidly in the future.
The NEWS, today, brings out the
interesting fact that the new ferry is
merely a continuation of the new troll
ley line across Staten Island which
is now being surveyed. Doubtless
the reason the company wants two
years in which to put the ferry in
operation is to give them time to get
the cars running. The Staten Islaad
Rapid Transit evidently knows That
the ferry is a part of this new trolley
and it will mean direct competition
Tor the Rapid Transit all the way
from this city to New York.
Judging from the accommodations
given by the Rapid Transit during the
past few years a little competition
would be a good thing. The sched-
ules Lave been any old time and en-
gines break down between stations
causing hours delay. Stops on all but
two or three trains are so frequent
that a train hardly is started before !

gers are dumped off at st. Georse
just to see a ferry boat leaving for I

CONTEST FOR POSTOFFICE ON
Mr.. w. J. Lewis CircuIates a Petition
and Gets Many Signatures. Cap
tain Alexander an Applicant.

A surprise was sprung in Dawson
Monday morning when Mr.. W. j.
Lewis began the circulation of a pc
tition endorsing him for appointment
to the postmastership at Dawson.
Captain J. NJ. Alexander, who has
been postmaster for the past eight
years, is an applicant for re-appoint-
ment, and some time ago secured many
signatures among the business men
of Dawson and patrons OF the ONCE
asking for his disappointment.
Mr. Lewis has been the efficient
foreman of The News Office for the
past ten years, and is now in charge
of the job printing department OF this
office. He is young man of energy
and high character, and would
we'll discharge the duties of the posi-
ton he seeks if the authorities
at Washington give him the place.
His petition was numerously signed,
and his candidacy will be backed by
strong support.
The new term of the postmaster will
begin in April, and the appointment
will be made within the next few weeks.

NEGRO KILLED BY TRAIN
Whit Bruner Found in Dying COndl-
ditiOn by the Side OF Central
Railroad Track.

Whit Bruner, colOred, was killed by
a train on the Central railroad at
Breedloves crossing, three miles from
Dawson, Saturday night.
1t is not known whether he was
struck by the east-bound passenger
train or the west-bound freight. He
left Dawson early Saturday night to
walk to his home near Graves, taking
route along the Central track. He
was found lying by the track about
midnight with an ear cut off, one OF
his arms almost severed and with a
number of other cuts and bruises on
his body. Medical assistance was
summoned, but the negro was in a
dying condition, and lived only three
hours after he was found.
1t is thought that he attempted to
Jump on the train as it passed him, and
was thrown under the wheels. His in
juries bear out this theory. If he had
been struck by the engine it would
have been known by the engineer,
which was not the case.

MORE NEW PUBLIC BUILDINGS
Council Has Under Consideration the
Erection a Negro School House
and a City Prison.

It now seems probable that 3 new
public colored school building, which
has been contemplated for some time,
will soon be erected in Dawson.
With this end in view committee
from the city council will appear be-
fore the board of county commission
ers at their next meeting, in February,
and lay before that body a PROPOSE
ton to purchase vacant lot on a
corner of the Jail yard on which TO
erect a new guard house. II this is
secured the old court house, in one
room of which the guard house IS at
present located, will be torn down, and
the material therein used in the con-
struction of the school building.
1t is thought that there will be al
most sufficient material in the old
court house, which is a o-stOry
structure, to erect the school bLlldlng.
The main expense, therefore, II the
plan mentioned is adopted, will be the
cost of construction.
1t may be that the location OF the
negro school will be moved to another
part of the city, if q site can be secur-
ed on reasonable terms.
A better building for the colored
school has long been needed in Daw-
son, and the action OF the council IN
providing it will be generally APP
proved.
II the present ideas are carried oul
the ground on which the old court
house now stands will be divided into
two lots for business houses and SOLD
