very popular among the whites, and
order on trains has been greatly i'm
proved thereby. Amendments will be
offered at the extra session OF the legs-
lature. One change that will be propos-
ed is to repeal the provision allowing
railroads to partition cars for the two
races, and require them TO provide sep
arale coaches. Another amendment
will be to give the person who gives in
formation OF violations one-half the fine,
which is not less than 5000 nor more
than 81 900. 1t is claimed that two
railroad companies are openly violating
the law, andit appears 10 be the bust
uess of no one to prosecute them. By
giving half the fine to the iDiormer II
is claimed that the law can be enforced.
