Michigan lias passed a law fixing a heavy penalty upon railroad compan¬ ies for employing or keeping in their employ persons addicted to the use of intoxicants.—Union Signal At the recent State convention of Iowa prohibitionists a committee was appointed to devis plans for the eree- tion of a monument to the memory of the Rev. Mr. Haddock, who was mur¬ dered in that Stats a few years ago by emissaries of the saloon element. Mayor J.S. Scudder, of Neodesha, Has., has been arrested on a warrant from the district court under that pro¬ vision of the prohibitory law which requires all county and city officials to notify the county attorney of any vio¬ lation of the prohibitory liquor law coming within their knowledge. Governor Ellerbe, of South Carolina, has given orders for withdrawing the State constabulary force from every village, town and city in the State. Only a few constables will be retained in the country .districts where there is no local officials to enforce the dispen- sary law. This action removes the chief cause of friction in the enforce¬ ment of the State liquor law, and will save the commonwealth §50,000 a year. WHAT COJI. HENDEKSON SAYS. Extract From His Report to the Grand Jury. During the last twelve months our county has undergone many changes. The Tifton & North¬ eastern railroad has been built centrally through our county, connecting with the Fitzgerald division of the G. & A- railroad at the city of Fitzgerald. This is quite an acquisition, and will be of great benefit to our county, and especially that section thro’ which it is located. With the coming of the soldier colony, our white population, which was but a short time, al¬ most one continuous link of rel- lationship, is now intermixed with a large number of new in¬ habitants, among whom are many of the best people from all sec¬ tions of the Union, and of every avocation in life from the banker to the tinker. These people have in the short space of one year, founded and built the flourishing city of Fitzgerald, in which are to be found well filled churches, schools, hotels, ample banking facilities, business houses of al¬ most every line of trade, with a population of 4,000 or 5,000 in¬ habitants, and still they come. And what is so remarkable is the peace and quietude that has pre¬ vailed among this mass of people, who, up to this time, have had no power (to enforce order, except the common laws of our country. This fully demonstrates the FACT THAT OUR NEW NEIGHBORS ARE THE CLASS OF EMIGRANTS THAT WE WANT, AND BY THEIR CONDUCT THEY HAVE WON THE RESPECT AND CONFIDENCE OF our native people. Many of these people are ex-Union sol¬ diers# hence numbers of them are pensioners and bring iu our midst Vast amounts of money that hitherto never found its way South. These people, as a mass, are intelligent, progressive, up¬ right and Lightened citizens—are firm believers in the enforcement of law and order—full of pluck and energy, and have ever evinced a perfect willingness to join our natives’ hand, heart and purse, in every movement that tends to the upbuilding of the county of their new homes in our sunny South.
