A special dispatch isom New York
Of the 18th to the New Orleans City
Item, says the tie up of all the sur.
face roads may be expected at any
moment. At the last meeting BE-
tween the Knights of Labor aud the
railroad officials the workmen pro.
posed to waive all previous demands,
such as reduction of time, etc., pro.
vided that only union men were
employed. The companies rejected
the proposition, but asked whether
or not two weeks notice would be-
given of the "tie up." The labor
committee blontly informed the
officials that if the matter was in
their hands they would not give two
minutes notice. District Assembly
IS has since been in secret session.
Apprehending trouble, the Brooklyn
railroad men have called for police
protection, and the policemen Of that
city have been doing extra duty for
the past forty.eight hours. Should
q tie up occur on one road, the strike
will become general In both cities.
It will be the biggest strike ever
known here, az thirty thoasand peo-
pie are interested. The companies
say that there will be 40 profit to
them in granting the advance ssked,
but the men are firm. and lively times
are looked for. ~

The New York Press is q very
stalwart Republican paper, yet it
recognizes the fact that white i'm.
migration would be godsend to
the South; and not only this, but it
believes, despite what some few Of
the Southern papers have had to say
on this subject, that it is practicable
to bring immigrants here until the
whites are in q good majority.
1.-THE enterprising men on the
black belts of the South" it says,
SHOULD collect statistics of tho land
for sale in their own and neighbor-
ing countries and invite colonies Of
European immigrants. p Railroads
hare brought the South very near
to Northern markets Of late years,
and the remoter regions have va.
ter transportation facilities. There
should be q little city Of Southern
land and immigration bureaus
around Castle Garden"
This is just what the South is
doing to-day. It proposes to do
even better, for it will not be salts
fed with . Castle Garden % far
away as New York, but will have
one at New Orleans also, where the
immigrants can land and 20 directly
to their new home in the South. The
Press recognizes the fact that it
would be better not for the South
alone, but for the Union as we'll, to
have this section with . good white
majority. And We may add that it
would be better for The negroes
also.-Times.D Democrat.

to the same; the house needs some re-
pairs, such as stove flue and sash for
the windows, and if the building was
ceiled 1t would add to its comfort. The
school house in the 4th ward, Mr.. L. o.
Broussard, teacher, l found needed
some repairs to the stove f1ue which l
requested the teacher to employ some
one to repair. This school l found to
have larger and more regular attend
ance than formerly, and although
some of the books used were rather
sectarian, yet the progress made in
their studies was very good. l found
there has been some damages done
to the school property near Mr.. Sc
venne Conner's, and also to the school
property in Abbeville, probably done
by some evil disposed boys. l would
beg leave to report that I have con-
trasted with Mr.. W. D. Wall for some
shutters for the school house In Able

/ found to be poorly attended and sug-
gested remedy to the teacher.
All other schools and school property
/ found in fair condition SO far as my
visits have extended. Owing to sick
ness I have not been able to visit the
Perry Bridge school or Mouton cove
schools, but expect to do 50 in a few
days. All of which is respectfully sub
mitted. j. N. WILLIAMS,

she look tired when she came back TO the
Office late that afternoon. \ & t.atL ~
She was somewhat reluctant about re-
iatin9 the events of the day, but finally
learned the principal facts She had been
to Sandy Point. or some place answering
to the most invIdious description OF that
locality. The only person of whom she
dared to ask her way to Grassy Slope Farm
was small boy who was driving a goat
harnessed to cart: and he didn't know
where II was. Then she asked, on ven-
ture, II his father sold milk, and the boy
replied that he did. Miss 1owells then
followed him and the goat and the cart
about four miles across lots to one STORY
shanty In the lea of u sand hill. and in the
back yard thereof she found COW so thin
that she looked like a piece OF faded red
carpet spread over n saw horse. The boy
said proudly that that was the only COW
within five miles OF the place. Miss How
ellis couldn't find her why back to Sandy
Point, and the boy, being offended at her
contempt for his COW, refused to show her,
so she wandered around till she came to q
cemetery. from which there was means Of
transportation back to town. >
But think am on the trail Of SEN
sation," she said, "and will try again to-
morrow"
y The next day, accordingly, she set out
again, but this time she hired IN escort.
II was rather brilliant idea. She went
to milk dealer in Brooklyn and procured
the services OF young man from the
country. She did not tell him what she
was looking for. but simply said that she
wanted to find place where they kept
cattle out In Sandy Point

SHE TAINTED AWAY IN DAVIS ARMS
She had to promenade through about
half OF Brooklyn with him on the way "a
Sandy Point. and In the course OF that
walk she met about two dozen swell no
qualntances OF hers who lived In the city,
1t was cheering reflection, she said, that
they probably took the young man to be a
relation from the rural districts.
The next day she brought In her story
and when read IL icame to tho conclu
sion that my scheme to scnre her out OF
journalism had failed. IL was lurid and
sensational tale. She had discovered a
place where 200 cows were kept In the back
yard Of distillery. They were fed, she
asserted, upon the waste product Of the
dlstillery, aud altogether led dissolute
life. They were frequently Intoxicated.
Their milk had strong flavor Of coffin
yarnish. and was sold IN the neighboring
saloons for milk punch. Then she had an
interview with a physician (alleged) who
said that the infant mortality from delir.
ium tremens had increased 10 per cent. No
other conclusion was possible except that
this milk had done IL. She related that
John Robinson owned the COWS, and she
gave brief but rasping sketch OF his
family history. after which she called him
