Local Option bill passes house in Georgia
The record notes the Local Option bill passing the Georgia House amid debates as Hon. W. H. Felton suffers illness in Washington. The measure allows counties and militia districts Floyd to Carroll to decide by local vote whether to restrict the sale of spiritous liquors, with procedures for petitions, notices, ballots, and elections. It details petition thresholds, election timing, and penalties for violators, while preserving sacramental use.

Georgian General Assembly measures and county court reforms
Proceedings recount amendments to code sections and county court powers, including transfer of misdemeanor trials, writs of facias, and civil case disqualifications. Bills authorize railroad purchases, tax executions, jail labor, and liquor license regulation. Grand Jury reports urge road repairs, jail conditions, pauper lists, postmortem fee, and fiscal plans for Polk County in February 1875.
