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: Glectoral Vote. Popular STATES. Plurality. Bryan. McKinley. Bryan. McKinley, Alabama..........

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 F3b47oi,r crusade against the felt hogs discouraged running several upon our times, streets two yatrs ago, and although we we near sairsits's's;- we “ » 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.
