THE WESTERN PACIFIC
NAMES NEW STATIONS

The making OF names FOR future
railway stations is one of the incident
al occupations of the builders of the
Western Pacific at present, says the
San Francisco Chronicle.
In California, from Oakland 220
miles to a point above Oroville, the
company has created but five new
names for future stations. They arr
Glenn, for the owner of the ranch of
that name; Tambo, the Spanish for
tavern or wayside inn; Friesleben, for
the owner of another ranch traversed;
for a big white bluff. formerly in old
staging days called White Rock, and
Las Plumas. the original Spanish name
f I what is now the Feather river.
From Las Plumas, in the Sierra
country, eastward for a distance of
541 miles, provision has been roughly
made for about 30 stations, about hat
of them being at old -established towns
in Nevada and the eastern part of
California.
Further eastward. however, where
the track-laying has been completed,
there are about 16 new names that
will figure on future Western Pacific
time cards. Shafter is named in honor
of the late major general, Silver Zone
for a mountain range and an old min
ing district near that point. Gath for
q Biblical character. Pilot for Pilot
zeal, desert landmark; Ola. the Span
ish word meaning "behold! -; Salda-
ra, the Spanish for rock salt, that par
ticular place being in the middle OF
the great natural salt deposits; Aro-
nosa, Spanish for sandy; Barro, Span
ish for mud. an oozy, muddy desert
stretch; Knobs, for the wind-formed
sand knobs on the eastern edge of
this mud desert, some of which the
railroad builders scooped out and mix
ed with the mud to make a roadbed;
Low, for the ow pass in a hogback
ridge of hills; Timpie, an Indian name
for Timpie Springs, near there; Lake
View, because of the first good out
look there upon Salt lake; Garfield,
for President Garfield. and Fox. for
Lake.
Some of the twenty or thirty new
names to be created. says a Western
Pacific official, will doubtless be given
in honor of local settlers who have
acted kindly toward the railroad, as
prompted the giving of several of the
names in California.

Friday, January 10, 1908.

At a meeting Of the citizens OF
Aiken, which was called by the sena-
tor and members of the house from
that county, a proposition to abolish
the Office of county supervisor and
divide the county into districts, eacn
district to elect commissioner who
together would constitute the board
of county commissioners, was en-
,dorsed.
This is the same plan practically
which is being agitated by some of
the people of this county and We un-
derstand that a petition is being got
ton up asking the. delegation from
this county to abolish the Office of
county supervisor and deNolve the
duties Of that Office upon three eoun-
ty commissioners very muc after the
plan which was of force before the
constitution Of 1895.
The idea seems to be that under
such system we could have better
roads, the three commissioners hav-
ing better opportunity to look after
the work Of the roads. It matters
little what plan may be adopted, un-
less some provision is made for the
raising of more money. there will be
little chance for any improvement in
our public highways.

says: "Gratitude for the wonderful

for stomach and liver troubles Elec-

and alternative medicine invigorates
the system, purifes the blood and is

The Greenville Board of Trade has
adopted resolutions asking the legis-
lature to submit to the people Of the
state and amendment to Article 10,
of the constitution Of South Carolina
Of 1905, by adding section to that
article to be known as Section ii,
and to read as follows:
"The legislature may vest the cor
porate authorities Of cities, towns
and villages with power to make To-
cal street and sidewalk improvements
by special taxation Of contiguous
property G" otherwise.'
If this a1.endment should be adopt
ed by the legislature and then approx
ed by the people in the general elec-
tioa this year the purpose Of the
Greenville Board Of Trade is to ask
the legislature at the succeeding ses-
sion to enact a law which will pro-
vide (l) That property owners on
each side of the street it may be
sought to improve, may be assessed
one-third, the city, town or village to
pay the remaining two-thirds. (2)
That such property owners shall be
given five years in which to pay their
rent. ,(3) That no improvements snail
be made under the amendment upon
any street without the consent Of two
thirds Of the property-owlers on such
street.
In other words the purpose in these
=. changes in our laws seems to be to
accomplish just what We tried to ac-
complsh in Newberry by the consent
of the property owners when it was
suggested that that section Of Cald-
well street from Friend street to
Main street be paved aad that the
property owners Of either side pay
for the material in proportion to the
extent of their property along the
street and the city would pay for the
work. All Of the property owners
agreed to this except one. Of course
that one objection kept the work from
being done.
What we desire to see in NeWberry
is beginning made in the matter Of
street paving and if we could get only
a small section Of street that is con-
stantly used in amy part Of the city
paved as it should be, there would be
very little difficulty in having the
work extended and all property own
ers and taxpayers would be willing
to have it done because they would
realize that it would be a good invest
ment.
If Main street could be wideled
from the depot to the public square
about ten feet and then paved from
the depot up to Mr.. SonnenbergHs
bakery, including the public square
and the streets adjacent for one or
two blocks, it would be one of the
greatest steps forward that the city
could make and greater than any that
has been made in its history. It would
give strangers a favorable impress
sion Of the city and would be some
indication Of the progress which we
are making.
In spite Of the fact that
we are not making the public I'M
provzment that we should, Newber-
ry is growing more rapidly and more
substantially in every way than any
city in this state, but we certainly do
need something done to improve our
streets and sidewalks and the money
that has been spent for the last few
years in an attempt at working The
streets is practically wasted.
We hope that city council during
this year will put whatever money IS
spent upon the streets in permanent
work.

to shake hanei with him for his ef-
forts to have the publishers and
circulators Of obscene literature
punished.
A man named Shepard, Of Salt
Lake, was sentenced 10 several years
imprisonment for sending prohibit
ed books through the mails. Great
efforts were made to get the Presi-
dent to pardon him, but he abso-
lutely refused, and said that he
would like to keep the dissemination
of obscene literature in prison for
life. We echo his words. One may
pity the person who yields to temp
tation and wrecks his own life, but
not the person who supplies tcrnpta-
ton to other people. The Kaiser

denim criminal ways-they have

To List the Drunks.

We are glad to note Winchester
officials are preparing to blacklist
the habitual drunkard, bus after all
that Is playing into the hands If
the saloon. for 1t has already sucked
the good out of him and has no more
use for him than they .1ould have
for an orange rind after it has bad
the good taken out. The presence
cf the habitual drunkard is not de-
sirable to saloon; it is like the
skull at the Egyptian feastsa
warning. Even as am, so will
thou be- Is the lesson that the
skull and the drunkard teaches.
But the present action is move in
the right direction, for 1t may
make some people put their think

them they will avoid the saloon.

Of Orleans, the eldest son of Louis

ever title to royalty his father
could transmit to him. He was a
splendid young man physically
mentally and morally, and high
hopes were held by his party that
he would regain the throne that
his father lost. He was about to
leave Paris to join his regiment,
and invited a few companions to
breakfast with him. He drank a
glass of wine too much--not intoxi-

The Farmers league of Maryland
asks the legislature OF that state to
pass pure seed" law somewhat
on the lines of the state fertilizer law
The deign, as We understand it, is
to compel seedsmen Offering seeds for
sale in Maryland to have their goods
analysed or inspected and to print
q guarantee Of such analysis on the
packages. The object is TO prevent
the sale of weed seeds in grass and
clover. OF course, everyone knows
that 1t is impossible to analyze seeds
as the chemists do fertilizers. 1t is,
however, possible to determine wha;
weed seeds are present, and what per
cent. of seeds are dead. AS for telling
whether varieties were mixed it would
be impossible except with grains or
grasses. There can be no doubt about
the great damage done to many farms
by the Introduction of noxious weeds
in buying farm seeds. We have OBJ
tanned samples this year that were
very dirty. Ii is a question If more
damage is not done to the farms OF
New York by the introduction of foul
weeds in purchased seeds than in the
importation Of tuberculous cattle. Yet
the state claims the authority to ex-
cl ude the latter. We feel sure that
Tie near future will demand strict
