Carbon Gets Next Con-
vention
The Eastland County Singing
Convention in session at Rising
Star last Saiurday and Sunday
selected . Carbon for the next
place of meeting which will be
the second Saturday and Sunday
in April.
Congressman Smith writes J.
B. Jordan that at present the
Postoffice Department will not
favorably consider his petition
for daily service on Rural Route
No. 1 from Carbon. He writes
however that it is the desire of
the department to operate daily
service where conditions will
warrent and where patrons
indicate the requisite appreciation
of the service. _Let the people
near the Rural Routes patronize
so as to hurry up the conditions
that will warrant daily service.
Coming in from Wichita Falls
on Tuesday night’s train we en-
countered the most riotous set of
hoodlums we have met lately.
There were about six of them, all

drunk, and they put in the night
cursing, drinking, singing dirty
songs and flashing their bottles
in the faces of the car full of pas-
sengers. A great many of the
passengers were women, who
were frightened almost speech-
less by the rowdyism. The bad
feature of the situation was the
inability of the train crew to con-
Once upon a time the editor
became acquainted with a man
who seemed to think our time
and space in our paper cost us
nothing and he didn’t mind to
ask us to give it to him freely
every time he needed a little
advertising to push some little
enterprise of his own. One day
last year he rushed into our ocffice
and said come down and see such
and such a thing, how it works,
etc., then if you want to give us
a little puff on it, it will be
alright. Well we took two hours
trol them in any degree. The
D1
conductor and brakeman both
tried to keep them quiet, but in
vain. The Hornet is in favor of
making every conductor and
brakeman a peace officer, author-
ized to carry a gun. The law
makes it the duty of a railroad
to protect its passengers from
such outrages, and holds it re-
sponsible for its failure to do so,
and yet by refusing to permit its
employes to act as peace officers,
renders it utterly powerless.
The papers of the state should
take this up. Some of the pas-
sengers wanted to take the mat-
ter in hand and enforce order,
but a too conservative spirit pre-
vailed, and the result was the
whole train was terrorized by
this set of thugs-Vernon Hor-
net. , ,
In manjf states conductors of
passenger trains are delegated
police powers by the very fact of
their position, and they are
charged witfi the protection of
the passengers on their trains,
just as a captain of a ship is
charged with power to protect
his passengers. It is a necessa-
ry and a sensible provision and
should be the law in every state.
When a man runs amuck on a
railroad train someone on that
train should have authority to
deal with the case.—Fort Worth
Record.
Speaking of banks, reminds
us that there are yet some people
in this county who have a little
money on hand and consider it
safer in a bureau drawer, in old
stockings, or under the bed
clothes, than it would be in a
bank. In this idea of the safe
keeping of money they are di-
rectly opposed to the ideas in
practice by the business world.
The men who have the most risk
with money—that is, those who
have the most money to risk—
always deposit it in a bank for
safe keeping. ' If the most suc-
cessful business men adopt this
as the safes*- plan, surely a man
with a small amount of money
can safely afford to follow such
example. Don’t keep your
money at home. It is not safe
there, and it makes it more risky
for your own personal safety.
A burglar who is mean enough
to rob you of your money is mean
enough to kill you, if it is neces-
sary, to get it. If you deposit
it, subject to check, you don’t
even have to go to the bank for
it; but you take your check book
and write a check for any amount
not exceeding the amount of
your deposit, and any business
man will accept it same as cash.
Banking is the business way,
the sensible way, and the safest
way of keeping money—Ex.
to go down and do the seeing,
then came back to the office and
spent half an hour writing the
puff, then handed it to the typo
who we paid wages tc set it,
left out some news items and
gave it space in the paper. A
few weeks later he met us on
the street and told us that the
write-up sure did bring him the
business and thanked us very
much.
Well, this kind of pay would
suit us as well as any if the
grocery merchant and paper
dealer would take it in exchange
for goods, and the typo would
take it for wages.
This kind of a man is alright
but if our business men were all
of this kind we would right now
be writing copy for a paper in
some other town. We oc-
cassionally voluntarily writeup
some of our advertisers. This is
alright because they are not like
the fellow who is always wanting
free advertising and never want-
ing to pay for it.
