The Statements About the Southern
Paci6c's Intentions Correct.

The Statements About the Southern
Paci6cs Intentions Correct.
The news printed exclusively in yes
terday's HERALD regarding the inten-
tions of Mr.. G. p. Huntington and the
Southern Pacific company toward Santa
Monica, NATURALLY created considerable
excitement. A feeble attempt was made
in some quarters to discredit the state
ments made, but the HERALD is in a
position to be able to reaffirm its state
ments. 1t derived its information from
very responsible sources, and there can
be no question but that in all essential
points the statements made were cor
rect.
One important particular was omit
ted, and that was the construction OF a
large park, which it is intended will
rival anything OF the kind on the coast.
The fact thai the Electric railway peo-
pie intend to extend their line TO the
coast has already been noted in these
columns, and yesterday was reiterated
by officials of the road

Tradition of scotIand's Thistle.


Queen Scotia had led her troops in a
well fought battle, and when the day
was won retired to the rear to rest from
her tolls. She threw herself upon the
ground where, as i'll luck would have it.
bristly thistle grew. Whether the fair
amazon fought in the national costume
of Scotland or not the tradition fails to
say, but at any rate the spines of the of
Tending plant were sufficiently powerful
to penetrate the skin in very painful
manner. A pfoverbial philosopher has
said that che that sitteth upon nettles
riseth quickly" and the same remark
holds good with thistles.
Queen Scotia sprang to her feet and
tore the thistle out by the roots. She
was about to cast it aside, when it struck
her tnat the prickly herb would hence
forth be ever associated in her mind with
the glorious victory which she had just
gained. Her intention was changed. She
placed the thistle in her cask, and it be-
came the badge of her dynasty.-St.
Louis Republic.

A Complaint From Newhali.

EDITORS misunderstanding you to be
impartial and supporters of the laboring
class of the community, beg that you
publish the following statement to wit !:
Mr.. William, the agent of the Fon-
tana Fruit company, of San Francisco,
CAL, located at Newhall, induced quite
a number of young men and women at
Santa Paula to work in the said Fontana
Fruit company at Newhall, the men at
$2 and the women at fair wages, but
upon their arrival here about thirty
young men and women found, after
working for week, that in place of the
wages they expected they received 25
per cent. less, that is to say, instead of
~ we got only $3.50 per day. and the
women made from 80 cents to IS
cents per day. We ask you Messrs.
editors, for the sake of justice to spread
this before the public in yonr most valu-
able and estimable journal. MEMO.

Goodbye, Old Tumblin.

The secret Is out. 1t Is now reported thai
work on The Cumberland Gap road has been
stopped, and it is probable that no more
work will be done on it this year.
We hear 1t suggested that the railroad au.
thorities are waiting to see what disposition
will be made of the c. X. & w. road. which
is now in the hands of a receiver. If II
should come TO sale 1t Is possible that the
road bed which is graded from Trenton 10
Greenvllle, and beyond, will he utilized by
the Cumberland Gap people. This Is much
shorter and cheaper route than the route pro
posed by the Cumberland Gap. and the road
is practically graded. If 1t can be had for
song, then goodbye, Old Tumblin.
Now, that 1t Is reasonably certain that
"Old Tumblinr Is dead-stone dead-isnt II
time for Abbeville to look out for something
else, about which we can agree or disagree?
' The Press and Banner has changed It's mind
on the factory question, and would now
suggest that the town vote five per cent OF
our property to the capital stock Of q cotton
factory. A factory would be Of substantial
and lasting material benefit to the town, and
the capital stock would have money value,
from which reasonable dividend could be
realized.
II We can't agree to build factory, then
let us vote tax to build one or two good
school houses. A public school for the white
people and a similar one for the colored chill
dren, would be Of everlasting benefit.

Somehow Governor Tillman does not seem
TO be pushing his Investigations into the ex'
tent Of the phosphate deposit in Coosaw ter
rltory. 1t Is just as we'll perhaps. for the
Governor knows, at the present rate II Is not
likely 10 be exhausted soon. The question
that bothers the Governor just now is how
long the people can stand the loss OF $2,OCO
per week without neutrality-suspicious.
Herald.
If we were to make q prediction. we would
say. If the present Legislature at the next
sitting does not make some proper disposi'
tion Of the Coosaw question, that the Coosaw W
will be the question upon which the members
of the next General Assembly will be elected.
AS opposed TO the present idiotic plan ol
stopping the work. the Press and Banner
would vote for Shack's Charley In prefer.
ence to any man who would attempt to
uphold the cutting off of 1000 q week reve'
nue.. Even blind Tllmanites ought to see
the folly OF the present course.
