The Clifton clarion., 1885-02-18

Considerable complaint is heard of late in Clifton pertaining to ia voritism or partiality, on the part of our officers in executing their duties where misdemeanors-such as rows and fights in public places have occurred. Though the CLARION does not question the right of an officer to act with dis erection in such matters-yet, when there is a public sentiment ex- pressed condemnatory of such a conrse, it feels it to be its duty to not pass it over without notice. Such methods have a tendency to place the majesty of the law in contempt, both by the favor ed few and the unfortunate many which, ultimately, might lead to a state of feeling deplorable to the public good. The best of men, at times, become amenable to the law through real or imaginary wrongs and when arrested for such, arc disposed to "kick" at the time, but after few hours reflection, re . solve to make the best of a 'bac break"-pay ''the Captain at hi; office--and VOW to do so no more

The Savannah. Dublin and Western
Short Line-A Proposed New Road
From Savannah to Americus-Applica
cation for a Charter to be Made-Gen-
ersl Railroad Gossip.
new railroad scheme is being talked
up N sumter county. Notice has been
given Of an application to be made for a
charter for a road to be known as the Sa-
vannah, Dublin and Western Short Line
Railroad Company, running from Savan-
nah to Americus by way Of Dublin and
HaWklnsville.
The route described In the notice is
from Savannah via Dublin, in the county
Of LauTens, and HaWkinsville, ~ the
county of Pulaski, to the city Of Ameri-
Gus, m the county Of Sumter, passing
through the counties of Chatham, Lau-
Tens, Pulaski and Sumter, and the cOun-
ties of Bryan, Bulloch, Tatnall, Emanuel,
Montgomery, Dodge and DOOly, with
branches therefr0m at the nearest or most
feasible points TO the towns of StatesbOro,
Swainsboro, Reidsville, Mt. Vernon aud
Vienna, IN the counties of Bulloch.
Emanuel, Tatnall, Montgomery and
Dooly.
The route proposed is equidisJant be-
tween the Central and East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia roads, and runs
through a territory rich in lumber and
without any railroad communication.
"Such a road" says the Recorder, "would
be OF great benefit to Americas, as il
would give us short and direct commune
cation with Savannah, greatly reducing
The rates on cotton to the principal South
ern ports. The fact Of Americas being
the western terminal point Of the road
would also be Of great advantage to US,
as it would naturally draw to this city
the trade of all the counties west Of us.
We know nothing Of the parties forming
the company, nor do we know anything OF
the probabilities Of the road being built.
We only know that the notice was sent to
Judge Speer, Ordinary of this county,
with the request that a copy be posted at
the court house and publication made.
The notice was sent by Mr.. j. NJ. Stubbs,
Of Dublin, who in his letter says he repre-
sents capitalists OF Philadelphia and New
York. We hope the road may be built,
and that speedily, and we know that the
people of Americas are ready to give such
a line substantial aid and encourage
ment. such road has been several
times projected and as many times failed
of development; but we believe that a
line between Americas and Savannah
will be built before many years, By this
company or some other, for the reason
that such a road is demanded and will
prove paying investment.

Williams endured the abuse for awhile
until McSally picked up q stone aud

opponent and stabbed him three times in
quick succession. McNaily sank on tbe
wharf and Williams ran Of IN the Grec-

Seeing Williams run away the officer
started after him, although be did not

Williams. After running him a short dis

where McNally was lying, bleeding and
groaning. The negroes who were stand

The back Of the neck and the other two on

ugly, gaping cuts, from which the blood
had flowed freely. McNally was very
weak, and he was removed in an ambu-

princely hOnors OF even the Holy Roman
Empire. He reposed in his archi-epis-
cOpal robes, and his calm, placid, yener-
able face looked the model Of a spiritual
oyerseer, while the motto on the
drapery beneath his head, "In spem

the greatest dignitary dies as the least of
all saints, lin hope Of eternal life." Ii it
were not for that hope, how humiliating
