YESTERDAY'S COMMUNICATION IS
THE SUBJECT OF ANOTHER ONE.
Ma. Editor : -Your correspon
dent was very much amused at the
article signed "Switch," which ap-
peared in yesterday's Scn ; yet "lie
is glad that the street railway track
has one : avowed friend,-and ' ven-
'-' tures .the, jissertion" that ."poor
toiling" Switch is . the only : one in
all this population. .. ' . '
Poor Switch takes great delight
"in making use of the street cars,
both, for pleasure and to husband
his strength for the day's work, and
to carry him home, to his little ones
after a day , of toil." . . -v
How "many, times, ; Mr. Editor,
, during the past year, has this weary
- traveller': had the opportunity to
rest his worn-out body on a street
car seat, this, poor sonof toil. I
wonder how k many nickles he
dropped in the, Durham street -car
- box during the past year in order
that he might rest his tired frame
and contribute out of the generosi
ty, of his heart to the support of this
glorious poor 'man's carriage? If
he would only consent to the re
moval of the street car track, .the
town would gave her population
much annoyance by having Switch
brought to his work and carried
back home in the Fire Company's
wagon.. It seems that the town
council' forgot about Switch and
has only thought of "those mighty
: ones who foil in carriages of pleas
. - ure.'-' Shame on you commission
ers! It occurs to this writer that
the Third party aphorism : "equal
rights to all and special privileges
to none,, ought not to have been

the peroration of his plaintire wail
, in the . interest ofthe toiling poor.
Two foolish wise "men of the
IITO FISHER. Phi. &
crops had been, laid "by," meandered
their way to Durham, accompanied
by two very ancient quadrupeds,
called horses. They sought the
Street Railroad Company, and pos-
' sibly after some persuasion suc
ceeded in leasing the cars and the
T right-of-way . of er the street car
track. They provided themselves
with whips, attached the old horses
to the cars, and. started on their er
rand of mercy, viz : to have Switch
to work and then haul him home to
the fond embrace of his little ones,
and, Mr. Editor this writer is of
the opinion that Switch was about
the only passenger, and doubtless
even he sometimes walked, when
he should have dropped a nickle in
the box as a thankoffering to buy
corn for those poor horses. It used
vto be a joke "on the streets that if a
. p&son desired perfect solitude it
could be more readily found on a
street car than in any other place
in Durham.' So few of the toilers
or any other class of people had the
time to ride on a street car, ;then,to
think of encountering the awful sol
Jtude, unless Switch happened to
be aboard to cheef his weary fellow
.traveller., y ...-.,('; , ...

Later on. in the day Ferrell does
not seem as happy, for the solitude

asks himself the question: "Where
