Those who did little better off, for the boats had
been let down and filed with sailors. It
pathetic to see the poor slaves. Many jumped

were fighting with the waves with their chained hands

. slaturst0 change tsss existing local
option law. IT the change should
be made as desired by those respon-
sible for this address the result will
be that where county votes local
option any subdivision of the
county can immediately call for an
election, and if uufavOrable to local
option, re-establish the saloon in
that precinct or municipality. To
make the proposition clear and APP
plicable to local conditions, Ellis
county being a local option county,
the towns of Waxahachie and En-
mis-, or either of them, could secure
an election for the city alone, or for
the justice precinct in which they
are situate, and if majority vote
against local option, the saloons
would be permitted to open again in
that subdivision Of the county, not
with standing the entire county, in
an election held for that purpose,
had voted to close them. This ques-
tion will likely enter into the con-

The Southern railway has adopted
a new plan for rewarding its loyal
employees. 1t provides that all en-
gineers and conductors are to be
presented with annual passes good
for passage over the division over
which they are employed after they
have been five years In service.
Ten years OF service entities the
employe to a system pass, while Is
years give a pass for himself and
wife over the entire system.
The original idea applies 1t to the
conductors and engineers, but IL 10
expected TO extend to all depart
ments of the service.
