writes to that paper as follows:
MARYsvILLE, O., Feb. 20.-There was
never before in this county as much good
temperance work done as has been Gonein

following prisoners, who had been found

OBITUARY.
BY DIR. A. JONES.
samuel II. Hale.

Was born on the Nth day of February,
1856, in Randolph county, North Caro-
lima. In the fall of the year 1907, 1.-The
Hale family emigrated to the State of
Ohio, settling on Todd's Fork, in Warren
county. In the year 1910; Mr.. Hale set
tied in Lebanon, Ohio, and was student
at law with Judge John Mclean.
Near the close of the year 1872, Mr..
Hale married Miss Mary Ward, of North
Carolina, and moved to Wilmington, O.
In 1913, 1922 and 1928, he represented
Clinton county in the Legislature. He
was twice a member of the Ohio Senate,
| once in 1923-25 and again in lS28-29. He:
served his constituents with great zeal
and devotedness, but voluntarily retired
from public life at the close Of his last
| senatorial term. During his terms in
the Senate and Legislature, he was
great advocate for orinternal improvements
| State as we'll as general-and a warm
advocate of the school law of this State.
He aided very much in securing the char
ter of the Goshen, Wilmington and Coll
umbus Turnpike Company, and also the
charter of the Muskingum Valley rail-
road. He contributed largely of his funds
i to these improvements and lost all.
He was at one time the Wealthiest man in
the county, but the tide of prosperity
changed rapidly, carrying away the ac-
cumulated fortune of years. Mr.. Hale
has been citizen of Clinton county for
seventy years; in that long period he en-
joyed uninterrupted health. He had no
recollection Of lying in bed one day, or
| missing one meal in three score and ten
/ years. He was perhaps, the last one of
the Representatives who was in the Leg
islature of 1918.
Our friend was in the days of his abil-
ity, very liberal contributor to the poor
/ in many ways quietly, butappropriately,
has he replenished the provision andfuel
of those who had need.
Mr.. Hale was a member of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church in this place for
more than forty years, and maintained a
consiestnt Christian life. In these last
years he has been feeble; old age had
made its mark on his physical system
without the aid of disease, and on the 14th
of February, his birthday, at the age ol
So, the weary wheels of life stood still
and Samuel H. Hale, we think, entered
the land of eternal youth. Wilmington

From the jackson Herald, of to-day.
A large number of miners met in the
Court House last Thursday evening, for
the purpose of considering the course
pursued by the management of the S. j.
& P. Road in the transportation of coal
from Jackson county.
On motion, Mr.. D. G. DelanY was ap-
pointed Chairman, and W. G. Gould,
Secretary.
On motion of Joseph Harper, a commit
tee of eight, one from each of the mines
discriminated against, was appointed to
report resolutions expressive of the sense
of the meeting. The following named
gentlemen were appointed said commit
tee:
McKitterick's, Joseph Harper; Woods,
Joseph Gress; Carr's, Patrick Delaney !;
Prices, James Kelley; Callahan's, Geo.
Seals; Newport's, Daniel Exline; Jones
and Morgan's, John Thompson; Miles
Jones' W. T. Doty.
On motion, Hon. John T. Moore was
requested to address the miners in con-
ventiOn assembled, during the absence of
the committee, and in response to the
call Mr. Moore appeared and addressed
the meeting in an able and appropriate
| manner, after which the following report
of the committee on resolutions was read /:

sued by the Superintendent of the S., j.
& 2. Road, to take effect on the 10Th inst,
which is, so far as we are able to learn,
as follows:
That each of the following four mines,
viz: Kyle, Shoots & Co.; Hall and God
dard; Scott Sc Co.; and Wilson & Sons
are to have on the 10Th inst, 6, 3, 4, 8
empty coal cars respectively. with an ad-
| ditional car each day, until the full ca
| pacity of the mine is reached.
| Therefore, knowing that the floating
stock,Of the railroad barely averages %
! empty coal cars each day, that order, il
enforced, after a few days, is equivalent
to depriving the other mines on the rail-
road Of coal cars, thereby throwing out
of employment at least l20 miners; there
! fore,
ResoIged, That we, the miners of this
district, affected by this unjust discrimi-
nation, will not mine any more coal, nor
allow if possible to prevent it by peacea-
| BILE means, any more coal to be mined for
shipment on the s., J. & P. Road, until
the order complained of is eountermand-
ed and fair distribution of cars made
to each mine as heretofore. Signed by
the committee.
The report of the committee was unan-

ADEL, IOWA, FeD. "A, 1873.
EDS AEzALD:
left Washington, as per announce
ment in the HERALD, stopping OF at the
Soldiers Home, where things move like
-eloek-work, for the care of the 1000 re-
minders of our recent 'sunpleasantness. y
Next day.. being detained on account Of
no train, stepped into the Lower House,
at Indianapolis, and found under discus
sion a proposition to allow light carriages
to pass on the turnpikes free Of toll, ION
the Sabbath day.; but large majority
concluded that the farmers, who built the
roads, has as good right to use them free
as the ''town ROSTERS with their bug
gies. The bill was tabled and Gabriel's
horn can't raise it.
My next stop was at Champaign City,
where the two tewns-Champaign and
Urbana, dwell together in unity, as two
tom-cats would across a clothesline with
their tails tied together-they make the
fur fly. However, old Fayette men have
the best of the offices, and the best pro-
perty in the county.

IT seems as though the gentleman who
does the writing for the Hamilton Tele-
graph, never will forgive Hon. Mills Gard
ner for beating his Butler county favor
ite for Congress. In the last number of
the Telegraph the aggrieved editorrelieves
himself by giving utterance to the follow
ing paragraph: lso
''Mr. Gardner's career in Congress was
utterly at variance with the sentiments
of the men who elected him, He did moi
occupy much space in the Record, nor
was the eye.Of the country often focused
on him. He made speech favoring the
repeal of the resumption act, that was in
consequential, but he voted for the repeal
and his vote was as heavy as Garfield's
on the other side. He was faithful ally
of Tom Ewing and the rag-baby luHatics
and win be missed by them in the 46th
Congress-"
Had not the Congressional district been
changed for the express purpose of max.
ing place for hungry Democrat, Mr.
Gardner would have been reelected tC
Congress, and that aspirant for Congress
siohsl honors in Butler would, probably,
have gone of and hanged himself.

Hon. STANLEY MATTHEW'S, u. S. Sena-
tor from this State, made an able speech
against the bill to prevent Chinese emil
grafton to this country. The bill prohibits
any vessel from bringing more than 10
Chinamen to this country at one time
This bill is said to be in violation of our
treaty with the Chinese Government,
which prevented free emigration from
that country to this. Our Government
felt little proud at the time of its sue
cess, in procuring through that treaty,
commercial intercourse with them. We,
it is true, have no particular liking for
John Chinaman; but, when we wish to
have no further commercial intercourse
with them, or to close our ports to their
emigrants, the treaty stipulations re-
quire that we should give them notice Of
the fact before doing so.

THR Republicans i'm the House Of Rep

THE Republicans in the House of Rep
resentotives in Congress did not fllibus-
ter on Tuesday last worth cent, but
enough of them remained in the House
to make quorum and thus. allowed the
Legislative bill to pass, and in this bill is
a repeal of the Federal Election laws.
By the repeal of this law there is no re-
straint upon fraud at elections North or
South. 1t is believed; however, that this
repeating clause win be stricken out OF
the bill when it goes into the Senate.

state eLIbrarian,

A dispatch was received from Column
bus, Wednesday evening, by our neigh
Dor, H. V. Kerr, editor of the Register,
that his name had been sent by the Gov.
ernor to the Senate for conformation as
appointee to the office of State Librarian
His appointment has probably been con-
firmed before this time We are glad tC
hear of brother Kerr's good fortune. He
is a suitable person for the position. We
congratulate him.

Is our neighbor Of the Register in favor
of local option, as relates to the traffic in
intoxicating liquors, including ale, beer
and porter? Speak your mind out, broth
er, unequivoeally.
Fayette County herald. [volume] (Washington [Washington Court House], Fayette County, O. [Ohio]) 1860-1???, 1879-02-27

THE Cincinnati Enquirer has an edito-
rial article of an equivocal character on
the question of local option, which our
neighbor publishes, in which article the
Enquirer, unintentionaIly, it is to be pre-
sumed, pays the women of this State a
high compliment. It reads thus: ssGive
the women the ballot on such occasions;
allow them to have vote on the ques-
ton, whether saloons, and beer and wine
rooms, where intoxicating drinks are
sold, may or may not exist, and not drop
could thirsty soul get anywhere in the
State" Woman suffrage is not included
in the local option bill, but the quotation
above is solid argument in favor of wo-
man suffrage, which, perhaps, was mol
designed by the Enquirer.

queer

When a public officer is publicly
charged with collecting more fees for his
official services than the law authorizes
him to collect, if he is innocent of the al
legation, in justice to himself, ought he
not to demand an investigation into the
allegations, and if innocent relieve him
self from the dishonor? And if he is
guilty ought not the public to have some
means of redress? If the official thus
charged is innocent, he has nothing t.
fear from investigation, but if guilty h,
will be apt to avoid investigation. Now
then, have we not case of this charac
ter in our county? We pause for a reply

If the Democratic party Of this State
should not be able to find anybody else
willing to make a sacrificial- offering to
the party, as a candidate for Governor,
perhaps our old friend, Col. Baber, of
Columbus, might be patriotic enough to
accept the sacrifice. The Colonel is a
brave man, and would do valiant service
at the head of the Democratic column.
