President DOlnn's Statement.
Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. 13.-President
Patrick Dolan of the local miners dis
trict, has issued statement to the
miners of the country concerning the
troubles which have arisen in the Pitts
burg district and the coming coal strike
He is severe on President Mitchell, and
tells his constituents that Mitchell hac
invariably led them to disaster, and that
he never won a great strike, all of the
soft coal strikes beng failures, and the
two anthracite strikes having been set
tied by third parties. He says Mitchell
is helpless to make contract with the
hard coal operators in New York, and
his visit to that city will be futile.
President Dolan relates that in the
joint scale committee at Indianapolis,
the Illinois miners and operators were
deadlocked over the shotfrers' bill.
When the Illinois miners saw they
were deadlocked. Secret Treasurer
w. D. Ryan Of Illinois presented a res
oluton in the miners convention de-
claring that II district in the United
States would be permitted to make a
scale settlement unless all we're settled.
This resolution, he contends, puts the
miners of the country in a ridiculous
position.
In closing his statement, Dolan says:
81 have been in the trades union
movement for 35 years, in Scotland and
America; have sat at the feet Of the
greatest labor leaders the world has
ever known, including the great Alex
ander Mcdonald. From boyhooi
learned that it is leaders, duty to tell
his people, not what they would Ike to
hear, but what they should know. They
must be told when they are in the
wrong, as we'll as applauded when they
are in the right. This is my platform,
and | am willing to rise or fall with ii
before the miners and the public Of this

where the business will justify it, and
Mt. Pleasant should be the center of
a large fertilizer business, with
branch lines of railroad running out
in many directions, both east and
west to the rich and almost exhaust
less deposits of phosphate in three ad-
joining counties.
It is reasonable to expect that sew
eral fertilizer factories will locate
here, which is the center of the phos-
plate deposits, the largest of the
known world, that they may be close
to that grade of phosphate rock
which is too low to ship, and to the
millions of tons which will be
screened from the overburden and
used by the factories located here.
Just as it is natural for water to run
down hill, so natural will it be for fer
tilizer factories to locate here, when
the Illinois Central builds it's great
trunk line through Mt. Pleasant.
The citizens of Mt. Pleasant are
awake to the great advantage at
tached to the coming of the l. c., and
will, to a man, do everything in their
power to aid it in making it an as
sured fact.

new RAILROAD
NOW ASSURED.
ILLINOIS CENTRAL TO CON-
sTRUcT ROAD OVER ROUTE
OF INTERURBAN.
MT. PLEASANT ON MAIN LIN
A Short Line From Nashville To New
Orleans.

The Herald Chronicle has been
giving its readers from time to time
some hot air." as some have DUBBED
it, on railroad construction.
To tell the truth we have been look.
ing for definite news regarding the
building of line either by the I. c.,
or Southern from Nashville to Flor
ence, but we hardly expected to read
1t in the papers quite SO soon, How
ever, those who are thoroughly ac-
.quainted with the Illinois Central's
way of doing business say that when
the l. c., decides to do anything that
there is no dilly-dallying, and the next
thing the public knows the contem-
plated work is done.
While we have had until recently
very little on which to base our opin-
ions, more than the natural result or
outcome of the inevitable, the feast
bility and wisdom from a business
standpoint of view, still we have be-
:, lieyed that another road must sooner
for later be built from Nashville south
to Florence, or Aberdeen, Miss, and
pass through the vast deposits Of
phosphate rock of this county and the
iron and phosphate deposits of ad-
joining counties.
While Mt. Pleasant is on an air line
from Nashville to Florence, Ala, it
has been doubted whether the main
line would pass through here; but as
one of the great objects of any great
railroad is not only to pass directly
through the great industrial fields of
the country it traverses, but to make
its own route shorter than that of its
competitor, this not only enables
them to compete with other lines in
getting the business, but enables them
to handle it at a less cost.
Thus, if the Illinois Central builds
its line direct from Nashville to Flor
ence, and to Aberdeen, Miss, it will be
from eighty to one hundred miles
shorter than the L. G N, from Nash
vile to New Orleans, and that means
several hours better time and a say
ing of over 50 in passenger fare be-
tween the two points.
Spur tracks, of course, will be run
out from the main line to all points

A CORRECTION.

A typographical error in Wednes-
days Herald in speaking of the reve-
nue. on transportation of phosphate
rock out of Mt Pleasant for Deem
Der, made the article misleading.
The article should have read: 81, 900
cars shipped in December at $500
each, over s1OOOOO.OO for the month,
or $1,2O0,0000O per year.
