Reduced Popular Majorities In Larger States.
All the Doubtful States Swing Into Line For the Republican
Ticket.—New York, Indiana, Maryland, West Virginia,
Illinois and Ohio Return Fair Republican Ma¬
jorities.—Calhoun Almost Unanimous
For Bryan and Stevenson.
Election is over and we will have four the more doubtful years of Republican¬
ism. McKinley and Roosevelt carried all states, and
Mark Hanna’s claims for his candidates are fully verified.
The election in Calhoun county went almost one way. We have
been unable to get the vote from any other precinct outside of Ar¬
lington. In Arlington there were 91 votes polled. Of this number
Bryan received 00 and McKinley received 21, while the populist and
prohibitionist together received’4. Judge Griggs received 08. We
made an effort to get the consolidated vote of the county but failed
up to the time we go to press.
Following is the way the vote went by states as published in
Wednesday’s Atlanta Constitution:

Council Passed Three Important Ordinances.
After Twenty-Three Month's Hard Work, The Courier Has At
Last Succeeded in Getting the Wishes of the Majority of
the People of Arlington Gratified on the “Hog
Question.”—Blockading Street Crossings
Forbidden Longer Than 5 Minutes.
The city fathers of Arlington had a rousing meetng last Tuesday night,
and some interesting business was transacted by this honorable body.
To use the expression of a gentleman on the streets Wednesday morning
work the hog question alone. ”
‘ ‘they did a years on will he of great benefit to the
Three ordinances were passed which
neoule of our city, among them was the passage of the stock law ordinance
for the town, which will take effect on the 1st of next January, which is
month off. The dite for the ordinance to go into effect was
over a hogs, horses and
set far enough ahead to allow those who own cows,
mules within the city limits time to repair their fences and barnes to

3 ° 1CJ After January our farmer friends can come to town and feel safe in
loaving the feed in his buggy for his horse or mule, and not have any
fear that the town cow will got it ; mothers will not have that, uneasy
feeling about their children while at. play out of doors; fearing that they
will l*> gored to death by a cow or run over by loose mules or horses.
To suy the least, in the opinion of The Courier, the passage of the
stock law ordinance was the best thing the council ever did, and we are
glad to know that the vote on it was unanimous. Following is the ordi¬
nance in full:
Be it ordained by the Mayor and Council of tho town of Arlington,
and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, That from and af¬
ter the first day of January, 1901, it shall he unlawful for any person or
persons to allow his or her or their hogs, cows, horses or mules or other
domestic animals of like character to go at large upon any of the streets
or alleys of this city and any such animal so found upon said streets or
alley, shall be empounded by the Marshal upon duty in a place to be pre¬
pared hereafter by said town, and then to notify tho owner of said ani¬
mal, if known, of the fact of the impounding ; And in all cases the owner
of such animals may receive the same from the custody of said Marshal
by paying to him the sum of fifty cents; And any such owner upon refus¬
ing to pay said sum, after due notice, shall he brought before the Mayor
and tried for the violation of the foregoing ordinance; And any such per¬
son or persons, upon conviction of a violation of said ordinance, shall be
punished by imprisonment in the guard house or work upon the streets of
said town for a period not exceeding five days, or lined notexceeding fifteen
dollars ; either or all of said punishments in t he discretion of the Mayor ;
And in all cases where, the owner of such animal cannot lie found, it shall
lie the duty of the Marshal to advertise for five days in three public places
in said town and sell such animal at public sale, to the highest bidder,
and the proceeds of said sale to be paid into the treasury, a separate ac¬
count of which, with kind of animal, and price brought, shall he kept by
the treasurer. The Marshal shall receive usual costs in convictions it
party is carried before Mayor.
Two other ordinances which will prove of great interest to the people
of Arlington are as follows :
Be it enacted by the Mayor and Council of tho town of Arlington as¬
sembled, and it is hereby enacted by authority of same, that from and
after the passage of this act, That it shall be unlawful for any person or
persons to blockade any of the street crossing or sidewalks within the in¬
corporate limits of this city by halting any railroad trains, cars or loco¬
motives thereon, for a longer time than five minutes, and any person or
persons, upon conviction of a violation of the foregoing ordinances shall
be punished by imprisonment in the guard house in said town for a peri¬
od of not to exceed ninety days, or work upon the streets of said town
for a period not to exceed ninety days, or a fine of not exceeding one
hundred dollars and cost; either or all of said punishments in tJie discre¬
tion of the Mayor.
Be it enacted by the Mayor and Council of the town of Arlington,
