The Register aud Hm American Industry.
The other day the Register made Il
SlarlnG misstatcment concerning the tin
plate Industry In the United States. and
gave Candidate Bryan as authority. 1t
is probable that the Register. having no
information on the subject. was deceived
by Mr.. Bryan's statement.
One who Is well Informed promptly
corrected the Register in a respectful
communication to that newspaper. The
communication has not appeared. and
the lntellisencer prints It to show that
the Register Is unwilling to correct It's
misstatemcnt. The reasonable INFER
cnce Is that the Register, thinks its party
cannot afford 10 be truthful, and that its
party's nominee must be protected when
he goes wrong.
Mr.. Luty's strong reply to the Register
shows how very fur wrong Candidate
Bryan was. That sort OF metaphorlc
license with facts may be highly appre-
ciated In the Platte country, but In the
Ohio valley we must have something
more substantial.

Ex-Attorney General McCleary, o.
Texas, president of the Postal Tele-
graph Cable Co., and j. w. Foster,
manager, were in consultation here
Monday with Hon. Thos. II. Lewis, OF
Opelousas, with a view of instftuting
suit in the court Of this parish against
the Louisiana western Railway to ex-
piropriate the right Of way along the
track of that company for the purpose
of erecting a telegraph line from Lafay-
cite to the Sabine river. The building
of this line will necessarily create COM
petition which will naturally result in
a reduction Of telegraph rates. This
company does not ask any financial aid
of the peple aiong the route, but it ex-
poets, and is entitled to, the moral sup
port Of those who will be benefited by

The Weather.

Queer weather, that we have beer
having this week. Monday was warm
and sultry, Tuesday clouded up and
but for the east wind would have hop
ed for rain, Wednesday was cloudy and
about 3 o'clock a light mist began, con
tinuing till in the night when a light
sprinkle fell, about Is of an inch, just
enough to lay the dust, the wind turn
ing off north and quite cool, will dry
the moisture. Cotton is coming in rap
idly and opening so fast that many
farmers say the crop will be all picked
out by the irst of December.

WANT the RnockaDoiuiit Nam sa '.

The K%nocka5out man observes that
many more farmers are found on the
public roads these days than id the
cotton fields.
That he gave praise to the new Po-
lice jury too soon as he sees the old
plan OF Keeping the public square full
of horses continues as usual.
That the Abbeville Ranch is well
stocked with old cows and horses as
ever and THAT the streets are as dirty
as, ever.
That all the Stops and old rubbish
from households are pfecipitated into
the streets.
That considering the great number
of old horses in the streets Of AbbeEille
it cannot with propfiety bo called d
tone Horse toWN."
That State street is fast becoming
the grand boulevard of Abbevilie.
That in every portion OF the town
new houses are going up and fine ones
too. If the streets were kept clean
and sidewalks constructed Abbeyi!ie
would sooD become a vary pretty town
in place Of the Ranch it now is. 49,

ed rices in the hands of Dan Talmage's
Sons at the time of the failure of the
firm last winter. While unable to
make a satisfactory settlement in any
way, Mr.. Silvernail holds the opinion
that the creditors here will realize
something, though doubling if it will
be anything near what is justly due

A New switch.

This week the |. & v. railroad has
put in a tiew switch $50 feet long at
Gus Godchaux's lumber yard, starting
at the point where Washington street
crosses the track. Several car loads
of dirt have been hauled and used to
fill in the new track. This will give
MFR. Godckaux unusual facilities for
handling large quantities of lumber
with ease and dispatch. Now that the
railroad authorities are Increasing the
c~onveniences for handling freight at
this place they will do we'll to put in d
new switch on the south Side of the de-
pot. During the busy season the Club
of freight is SO great as to be very hard
handle and an extra switch would give
ample room.
