LOCAL OPTION BILL Is SIGNED.
Gov. Conner Signs the Temperance
Measure In Alabama.

Montgomery. Ala. March L.
Among the bills signed BY the COVER
nor Wednesday was the local option
measure, commonly known as the
Lovelady bill. Il provides that on
the application of one-rourth the vO-
tiers In a county a vote must be or
dered on the question Of the sale OF
liquors In saloons or prohibition. In
cases where there are dispensarIes
the vote may be for liquors or against
Il in d!spensaries.
This bill was fought hard In COM
mittee and in both houses OF the leg
islature. u makes the county the
unit. and Is likely to result In many
big cities being forced TO give up the
sale Of liquors by being voted down
by the counties and the prohibition
votes In the cities. Attempts were
made In both houses TO have the big
cities made units. but this was de-
feated.
There Is a local option d!spensary
bill that Is along he same line pro-
viding for voting on saloons or Dis
pensaries. None OF the dispensares
now running will be disturbed for two
years.

Atlanta, March l.-Inspect!on OF
the Georgia railroad will be begun by
the state railroad commission, In ac-
oordance with the petition Of Bow
Dire Phinizy, Of Augusta. on Wednes-
day, March 6.
On that date all Of the mep5ers OF

Brown and o. Is. Stevens, viii leave
Atlanta at 7:i5 a. m. and Will, un-
less their present arrangements are
changed. and make thsk first stop at
Covngton, which is the first point af-
ter leaving Atlanta about which Mr..
Phinizy makes complaint.
After a lengthy discussion OF the
matter the members OF the commits
sion decided that they would make as
thorough an inspection OF the Geor-
gia road as they are able TO do with
the time al their command In follow
ing up the charges and specifications
submitted by Mr.. Phinizy. They will
visit each one Of the places desig-
ated in his specifications. and make
personal inspection. II necessary. for
three or four miles on either side
Not only that. but they propose TO
inspect any other places which may
be brought 20 their atten Ion By Mr..
Phinizy or any one else who may be
interested in the matter.
The commission decided In the first
place that II could not make a COM
plete inspection OF the entire 307
miles OF the Georgia railroad without
walking over every foot OF Il. Thai,
OF course, Is out OF the question.
In the next place II was decided
10 invite both MIR. Phinizy and a rep
resentative OF the Georgia road TO &C.
company the members OF the commits
sion on this inspection tour. and II
Is the hope OF the commission that
both will accept the invitation.
While the law provides that the In
spection shall be made either by the
commission or an authorized agent.
Il says nothing about the employment
OF such an agent. and no fund Is pro-
vided with which 20 pay his expen-
ses. Whatever inspec ion Is made.
therefore, must be made by the COM
missioners themselves.
II will will be noted. also. thar the
commission has decided not 10 avail
itself OF the OFFER of special car and
engine by General Manager T. X.
Scott. OF the Georgia railroad, for the
purpose OF making a trip. The com
mission prefers to use the regular
train Of the road. and TO get of AMI
do It's work wherever IL sees fit.
The commission proposes 10 devote
all the time necessary 10 this inspec-
lion. and II Is probable that II will
NOT be completed until after several
trips have been made.
The commission has the authority
TO requare thai any railroad be put in
a thoroughly safe coalition for travel
and II y Is found that the con-
diJion OF the Georgia railroad Is
anywhere such as % cause probable
danger, &, may BE stated with assur-
anc, that the necessary orders will be
ISSUED 10 remedy the trouble.
