Our Electric Railway.

From all accounts there is chance
that Abbeville will be on the electric
belt road for which Hon. John Nc
Ilhenny, of New Iberia is now busily
engaged in obtaining the necessary
franchises. While we feel very
doubtful OF the speedy building Of
the .oad--for the reason that they
are only profitable in densely popu-
lated centres, there is nc harm in
hoping it will come. The road will
start at New Iberia going to St. Mar
tinville and Breaux Bridge. Mr..
McIlhenny states that they are on
their way to Abbeville, through the
following towns: Breaux Bridge,
Lafayette, Rayne and Youngsville.
From Abbeville they will go to New
Iberia; therefore making a belt line
through four of the richest parishes
in Southwest Louisiana. The pro.
posed Myles trolley line from Morgan
City will meet the McIlfIenny line II

Keep Oil Out Of the Bayou.

Last week and part of this the sur
face Of the water in the bayou here
was covered with a heavy coat of
Beaumont oil. 1t was so thick and
disagreeable that the bathers had to
keep out of the bayou. OF course
the members of the Bathing Club
were quite put out. Nobody knows
whose fault it is, but the Police Jury
should take some action looking to-
ward prevention of these pollutions Of
the bayou.
