LAROCHE OUT OF POLITICS.
Representative Trying to Secure a
Pardon for Pat Kearney,

Hon. Walter P. LaRoche, one of the rep
resentatives from Chatham in the Legis-
lature, said esterday that he is glad to be
back with his own people. He is tired of
politics, and intends to retire from it FOR
good and all, and in the future devote his
time to the practice of his profession.
Mr.. LaRoche fingered a day or two in
Atlanta. after the adjournment of the Leg
islature, to argue the case of Pat Kearney
before the Pardon Board, to which body
application for a pardon for Kearney has
been made. 1t will be remembered that
Mrs Wyness, the widow of the man whom
kearney killed, recovered on an accident
policy of insurance on the life of her hus-
band, and this judgment sustained by the
decision of the Supreme Court, has been
used with telling effect
Mr.. LaRoche stated that the Pardon
Board had sent down to Savannah for GER
titled copies of the evidence in the civil
case, and that as important evidence, fa-
vorable to Kearney, was brought out at
this hearing that was not introduced at
his trial for murder, he considered his
clients chances for pardon bright.

When information was asked for as to
the custom it was said that the Central,
which owns its own line of sleepers, is
allowed to refuse to sell berths to negroes
under a state law. This law, 1t is said,
makes IL an offense to sell tickets for a
sleeping car in which whites ride, to ne
groes if the starting point and destina-
tion are both within the state. On
through lines, negroes having bought their
tickets before entering the state, they may
continue on the sleepers while in Geor-
gia.
A passenger man connected with one of
the through lines, was asked about its Gus
tom. He said the ticket agents under
stand what they are 20 do They usually
say there is no room left when a negro
asks for a berth. That is enough as a
general rule. 1t Is scarcely once a year,
the passenger man continued, that his line

EDITOR GAZETTE: For the benefit Of
our many friends and readers Of the GA
zETTE, take pleasure in reciting some
of the incidents of our visit to the famous
Hot Springs of Arkansas, from whence
myself and wife have just returned, On
the evening of the first day of December
we started for the Springs by the Mis-
souri, Pacific route, which, permit me to
say, is one of the best equipped passen
ger lines in the West, having the most
polite and gentlemanly conductors Of
any road we have ever travelled over.
Our route was by way of Little Rock,
where we changed roads, arriving at our
destination on December 3D..
We wish to say in behalf Of Mr. Smith
the depot agent at the Springs, that we
found him to be one of the most courte-
ous, smiling and accommodating agents
we have ever met. We esteem 1t real
pleasure to do business with such a man
as Mr.. Smith. After leaving the depot
we began to cast about for homelike
place to stay. Fortunately we were rec
commended to try the st. Julian house
and found it to be an ideal place for
comfort and rest. Mrs. Mary Dickson
