OBSTREPEROUS HOBOES
MAKE A NIGHT HIDEOUS

Two hoboes. Willies of the road,
Saturday night made things interest
ing for the officers down at the city
Jail. One Of them was arrested short.
ly after the performance of the Cow
puncher. which he attended, and the
other was brought in few moments
later. They were both incarcerated
in the same cell and they no sooner
were left alone together when they
engaged in fistic encounter and
each of them yelling to the top of
his voice.
Officer Kelley who made the arrests
and Jailer Rogers separated the men
and as soon as the first one was taken
ont of the cell, he grabbed piece of
coal as large as his hand, and WAS
going to throw it at Officer Kelley,
but the latter was too swift for him.
He pulled his gun and threatened to
blow his head off if he didn't drop
the lump of coal.
By this time the man still in the
"cage" had set fire to the cotton COM
forters on the beds and the officers
attention was called in that direction.
Jailer Rogers attempted to enter
the cell, but the inmate would not
permit him to do so aud jumped onto
the-upper bed and began kicking at
the officers face. Then it is said
that another gun play was made and
the prisoner was put temporarily to
sleep.
The men wore placed in separate
cells and the trouble was subdued.
Both men are said to be of a des-
perate makeup. They were taken
before Judge Johnston this morning
who disposed of them in the usual
way.

ATTRACTIVE WINDOWS - All

n speciality OF dressing their windows

The holiday line in Florence this
year is very complete and although
there was not much Christmas shop
ping doue until last Saturday night,
the trade then was heavy and will
continue heavy from this date on. II
is mistake to allow holiday shop
ping to bo postponed until the
eleventh hour. for, at that time the
best selections are taken and the price,
NJ a rnle, is no different than earlier
in December. Holiday shopping
not only means the purchasing of a
few play toys for the children but
the more usefu, things for the older
and grown.ups. A visit to almost
any store this week will bring to the

The People and the Railroads.

The Times Dispatch does not believe
that the people of the United States are
in favor Of government ownership and
operation Of railroads, nor does 1t be-
lieve that they are in favor of govern
ment regulations so harsh and unreal
sonable as to cripple the railroads and
prevent them from enjoyable reasonable
prosperity and serving the interests of
the public. But there are no two opin-
ions on this point: that the people are
determined that railroads shall be oper-
ated for the purpose of hauling passen-
gers and freight, for that purpose alone,
and not as the playthings of railroad
magnates, TO be operated for stock
jobbing purposes. The sooner the man

better it will be for them and the prop
erty they represent. The disclosures re-
Gently made by MI. Hartman confirmed

Washington's Wealth.

During thcAate celebration OF Wash
stngtons Birthday anniversary some OF
the orators made prominent mention of
the fact that the Father Of his Country
was the richest man in the land. One OF
them said:
Washington inherited an estate. he
acquired more by marriage. he accu-
mulated some by foresight, he increased
it by speculation and by industry, and /,
was greatly enlarged by the adven,tious
rise of values. He died the richest cfti-
zen of the United States. He was never
ashamed of it."
How this orator is so cocksure that
Washington was never ashamed that he
died then richest citizen OF the United
States we have no means of knowing.
However, We accept his statement as a
fact, for there Is no reason to believe
that Washington in the spirit ever felt
regret that Washington in the flesh was
the richest man OF his day and genera
ton. There was no cause for shame.
George Washington was an honest man.
and he came honestly by all the riches
he possessed lie did not make money

by playing the game Of high finance, or
by any Of tho ways OF Hartman e. Go.
He did not make money getting the goal
OF his ambition There were many
things that he priced higher than money.
and he was so jealous Of his good name
and fame that he refused u gift in stock

which had been voted him as a reward

First Wallace went: then Sllonts, and
now Stevens. 1t is not very flattcr-

terprise of government. and those who
occupy position somewhat similar
to that of men who have been called
by the government to lead it's forces
in time OF war. The man who accepts
such All honor takes upon himself 4
patriotic responsibility, and he Should
sacrifice for countrv's sake. II lie
should find that he cannot get along
with the administrations; that he can
not do justice to himself, or to the
work because of constant friction with
the powers in Washington; If he should

could do better service than he. lie
would be justifiable in sending in his
resignation and retiring from the SER
vice. But he would not be justifiable
in embarrassing his government and
retarding the work for the sake of
taking q more agreeable job at a high
err price. Such conduct would havo a
strong flavor of desertion.
These reflections are of general
character, and not intended as criti-
cism of Mr.. Stevens or others, for we
do not know what their motives We're
or what the peculiar circumstances
that influenced their action in retiring.
We believe, however, that the Pres:-
dent has acted wisely, now that Mr..
Stevens has resigned, to put the work
IN charge of the governments engi-
neer corps. AS the government has
undertaken to do this work, it is
better that 1t should have government
officials. engineers who have been edn-
Gated in the Service, and who have had
a certain military training, to direct
the enterprise. In the nature Of things
there will be less friction under this
system than there has been hitherto
with civilians in charge. But this does
not imply that the government should
do the actual work of construction
with its own force, instead of letting
the work to contract. In our view,
the ideal plan would be to have the
work done in sections, by number
of contractors, under the supervision
of the governments engineer corps.
The Panama work is giving the
country a valuable lesson in govern
ment operation.
