Flourishing The Big Stick.

purpose to limit the qaarantines to
the provisions of the law spd to
subject to its penalties those who
are inAicting illegal requirements

one will find fault with this an
nouncement of the intention Of the
State Board of Health to do its du-
ty as the law direct, but we cannot
refrain from observing that its man
ifesto would have been improved
had the threat been left out, "that
if the civil powers be found linsde-
quate to remedy the evil the Exc
cntive of the State will be called
upon by this board to call out the
militia to restore and maintain or

The inference flows that the ci-
vii powers in Louisiana are OF very
uncertain potency and this remark
is a painful reminder that the Le-
gislature of 1904, gave color to this
inference by enacting 4 force
clause in the militia bill which en-
powers Sheriffs, Judges, Mayors,
ect., to call out the militia at their

yesterday stated to representative of

Southern and the South and Western
rail have purchased rights of way in

of workmen have been concentrated at
that point and sent0ut along the line
to work for the South and Western
railroad and more men are in demand.
The Southern railway, he says, has
several engineering corps on the line
but no workmen have yet gone to big
ging. Both lines, he says, have been
surveyed through Mckinney Gap in
the Blue Ridge Mountaits.
Concerning the distances which the
South and Western and the Southern
will have to build to make the connect
ions that they desire, he says that the
distance is about equal. The South 4
Western railroad will have to build
from Spruce Pine terough Marion to
Shelby, N. c., and the Southern will
have to build from johnson City, tC
