Ioafers.

Why is a loafer anyway? II the
loafer at the very best does no good
for himself he certainly harms those
with whom he comes in contact. We
have frequently heard the remark that
there is but Is cents difference be-
tween the man who works and the
man who doesn't, and that the latter
has it. When particularly the young
men of a town see a loafer who some
how manages to get along on no in
come. thew are inclined to believe that
the world owes them living also and
work becomes Objectionable to them,
when it should be a pleasure. We
have too much patience with loafers.
We should learn from the bee, which,
when it can secure conclusive evidence
against the drone, drives him out. A
loafer is vagrant. He ought to be
treated as such unless he can be COM
PEELED to go. to work. In Leavenworth,
for instance. there are loafers. and
this in spite of the fact that there is
an abundance of employment here. II
under these circumstances these loafers
refuse to work, they Should be COM
PEELED to get out OF town, or stay at
home, where they could not exert a
bad influence upon others by their
idleness. -Leavenworth Times.

ARRESTED IN HINTON
Robert Carr Will be Brought Back
to Face Trial on Grave Charge

Robert Carr, the negro whose esca-
pade with a shotgun on johnson
street, Saturday night, was noticed in
these columns. was placed under arrest
in Hinton yesterday. Carr swilled the
disturbing fluid to-freely Saturday and
during the evening emptied a few
rounds of shot into his own home,
wounded Izetta Cabell in the hand and
thigh. peppered his brother Henry
about the neck and forced Harry Cab
ell, the brother of Izetta, to plead for
mercy on Bonded knee. He made his
escape under cover Of darkness but a
long distance phone message from the
chief of police, at Hinton, to Chief of
Police Lipscomb conveyed the news
that man following the description,
sant out::from here at the time, had been
apprehended there, also that he had
admitted mis- identity and confessed
the crime. An application for requi-
sition papers went to Richmond to
Governor Mann last night, and it is
hoped the necessary documents will

charge on his return and no doubt re-
grets the hasty work he did with the
gun.

Tho s'unknow Tongue" Upsets Rea-
son Of Devotees

Goldsboro, n e., Oct. 17.-Several
days ago three preachers pitched a
small tent near the post Office in this
city, and they have been preaching
a doctrine known as the Unknown
Tongue" religion, in which they bab-
BILE in language that words cannot
interpret. As result Of their preach
ing. three women who have been at
tending the meetings were tonight
pronounced crazy. Others have danced
and shouted at the meetings until they
tainted.
Last night about fifty followers Of
the religion gathered together'in the
northern part of the city, at the home
Of William R. Paul, and began shout.
ing in the unknown tongue. Those
not able to get on the inside of the
a ove home stood on the side walk and
jumped up and down, shouting at the
top of their voices. Sever Al Of the
women tainted, during the mad stam-
pede, while others were knocked down
with their eyes rolled back into their
heads and their teeth tightly clinched.

WELLMAN's A|RsH|P
WRECKED FAR At SEA

New York, Oct. 18.-The attempt Of
the Wellman airship America, to croif
the Atlantic ocean came to a thrilling
and disastrous close today when tie
British mail steamer Trent picked uI
Wellman and his crew from the wreck
of the airship 375 miles off the North
Carolina coast.
The news of the rescue came in two
wireless messages from Captain Down,
of the Trent. Captain Down reported
that at 8 O'Clock this morning he first
sighted the airship in distress. Sig.
mails of distress and calls for help were
given.
For three hours the Trent maneu.
vered in the heavy seaway to gel
alongside Wellman and his wrecked
companions. The entire party were
finally taken aboard, and the cat also,
which had been taken along as a mas
cot. Captain Down reports all the
crew as we'll.
This brings to a climax one Of the
most remarkable flights ever under
taken by an aiIship.
That the climax was not aocOmpa-
MED by tragedy is considered a
matter of exceptionally good fortune.
as the dirigible had been blown far
away from the usual lanes Of trans-At-
lantic travel, and was almost outside
the range of the coast steamers plying
between ports Of the United States,
Cuba and South America.
The range OF wireless had swept the
entire North Atlantic bringing NO
word from the airship for two days.
The last word came at IL :45 Sunday of
Nantucket. 1t was forty -four hours
after this that the rescue was accom-
plished by the steamer Trent.
The America has undoubtedly broken
all previous records as to time in air
and distance covered. The previous
time record, tn. Count Zeppelin was
thirty seven hours. The America q
time up to 8 O'Clock this morning
would be three full days, or severity
two hours.

bricks we're thrown, 10 persons were
injured and 16 arrested in a riot here
today, when squads Of police attacked
a mob of striking garment workers.
Nearly every window in the first floor
of the Hart, Shaffner and Marx plant,

broken.
The crowd numbered close to 1000
persons, including scores Of women,
who urged the men and boys on. The
trouble began when striking pockets
made their way past the three police
men on guard at the plant, and en-
cred he rooms where about goo EN-.
ployes were at work. These had pre-
viously refused to join the strikers,
but when the pickets appeared they
quit work, and carrying their scissors
and other implements wi tn them, con-
eregated in the street.

Ancient and Modern Luxury.

Signor Ferrero has told us a good
many new things about the people OF
ancient Rome and given us lot of
new views concerning events with
which we were familiar. His latest
effort is description of luxury in the
lays of Rome and in the present. 1t
seems that we are wrong in supposing
hat the Sybraitic conditions so poet
ically described by ancient writer's are
20 be accepted in the light of modern
instances. The Romans at their rich
est were rather poor people, Their
Injuries were few and less facilitating
than we imagine. They drank no spir-
its and their wines we're light. Their
homes were celebrated in their day for
their wonderful luxury, but judging
from the ruins now extant they were
small and disagreeable places in which
TO live. Even their temples were
poor compared with those of modern
or even medieval times. The finest
palace in Rome was one on street
twelve feet wide.
The distinguished historian insists
that in these days there is not only
actually, but comparatively much
more debauchery than in the "palmy
days of Rome" He thinks that we
ought to learn lesson from the past,
that Rome fell largely through it's love
of such Oriental luxury as was i'm
ported-even innocuous as it was by
comparison with modern standards.
All of US remember the plant OF YER
gil that it was the invention Of ships
which ruined the Roman people be-
cause it made Eastern luxury too
easily attainable.
1t Is a rather new view. but one
which may be contemplated with in
terest and profit. That the Roman
senator in the days Of Nero really lived
less comfortably than the average me-
chanic of today, is statement that
offers food for reflection and con-

LOCOMOTIVES DISPLACED.
Steam Power Giving Place to EIee-
trio for Big Railroad Propositions

The identification Of steam rail-
roads is steadily becoming nearer
possibility, although the inventors
have yet much to accomplish before
the motor generally displaces the en-
CINE. The opening wedge comes in
the form of Identification of terminals
In the largest cities, where conditions
Of heavy passenger traffic prevail and
where the greatest objection is made
TO the smoke nuisance. Progress
along these lines has been made in
New York, Philadelphia and Balti-
more, and other large cities are likely
to follow in the next few years, says
Popular Mechanics.
The railroads claim that substitu-
ton of electricity for steam out on
main lines wouldsinvolve prohibitive
losses by making junk of millions of
dollars worth of steam locomotives.
This, however, is misleading and far
rom true, for during the several
years necessarily consumed in chang
ing over, say. a Thousand miles Of
trunk line, the future would be taken
INTO consideration.
AS fast az the steam locomotives on
one division were released they would
oe transformed to other divisions to
lake the place of worn outs there,
and at the last there would be branch
ines of their own, and smaller roads
which would absorb a great part of
what motive power remained at the
finish. There would be some direct
oss, and some indirect, such as plac-
ing on branch lines heavier and faster
locomotives than the business re-
1uired; but the loss from this item
would be only fraction Of the wholef
There would be other millions of
dollars, now invested in locomotive
repair shops, thrown out of use. bur
this would bring it's own compensa-
ton for the electric locomotive goes
to the shop only two or three times
year, while the steam locomotive
must be overhauled constantly. More
over, the cost of repairs to the electric
machine is insignificant compared
20 the cost of maintenance of the
steam locomotive.
The elimination Of smoke, cinders
and sparks will contribute to the COM
,ort and luxury of long distance travel
quite as much as did the air brake
when it displaced the hand brake.

from Dreux. The bomb struck the
limb of tree and, bounding off, land
