g "a day of December
81 No. fI8-TO place the sale Of liquors in neorpo-
q rated towns under the control of the people.
81 Mr. MsNEILLY regarded the bill as obi ectiona-
BE in this, that under its operations groceries cculds
&Js slabshtd outside the limits OF incorporated
81 owns and the citizens of such toWas would be sub
ect 20 ali the evils Of such establishments, while
authorities Of the towns could exercise control
g Iger HEM rhs legislation Of the last twenty five
years. on this question had resulted in ,Ud, and
in favas of letting it rest where the present.
8 aw placed i,
q Mr.. BRADFORD had intended 10 INTRODUCES a bill
giving The people of the various civil districts in
= ,ach county in the State, the authority to regulate
thu sale of liquors within their limits, but he had
u iJubted as to whether such q bill would pass, and
q Ipon CONSULTATION had concuied to introduce thef
pill in its present 9h ape He surprised hear
the objection Of the Senator from Dickson Mr. Mc-t
4Neilly) TO his bill. L. Woul cersiny accom- pllsh
some good, and for thai reason it recommended it.
& elf. He could not appreciate the argument in re-
EgaId to eurtailiDg an evil in one place and itsH
H6resking out in another The limits of incorpOra-E
= ed towns usually extend far enough 10 enable thyr
Jple protect themselves against vice. lie hqdS
few days since present ID two petitions from cti
EZgns ne represented upon this very subject and he
nsd drafted the bill to carry out their prayer snt
re coutended that the Legislature ought not TO de
uy any portion Of the people the privilege Of PROF.
Al evil thai
Is community, Large towns like Nashville, cOuldz
&orotect themselves BY means of their police Hep
& lid not propose to interfere with the present Ii 3
4;ense Law, though he regarded il IS Of the )
most iniquit)us ever put upon the statute book
HStil he knew it could not be repealed, and he ony
aiesred to place the sale of liquors in incOrporated
WINS under the control of the people, that they
a,oud authorizs prohibit it as they thought prop
ar His own town (Dlndridge) would prohibit the
sale and he thought every toWn would the citizens
Of which regarded morality as Of paramount con
federation. e
d Mr.. MoNEILLY thought the object Of the Ssna- e
tor from j. fFsrson Mr. Bradford would be defeated
5y the passage of his bill. The evil sought to BIT
5remedi.d could only be removed outside the corpo D
Srate limits and in small towns this would not re
move the evil sufficiently far to insure les remedy r.
Mr.. BRADFORD said if any law in force shouldks
operate to the injury Of portion of the people, 81
that people ought to have the power to protect 2
themselves If evil should result from compelling 81
those engaged in selling liquor to 90 outside tue
limits of incorporated towns, the law which author s.
Uses them to carry their business a; such places
should be repealed. He asked for the people il !
Incorporated towns the authority to control thes
matter, 50 far they were concerned, and if the
people outside were willing bear the let them
ldo so. He hnf ed his but would be passed IS
stepping stone 10 similar Lag Applicable to thI q
various civil distEiots 10 each county in the State.
Mr. LANE offered an amendment to the bill 81
which WAS read as follows: ~
'''Bs further enacted That the citizens Of y
civil district in this State shall at their discreon
hold elections, and thereby determine whether OF r
not they will avail themselves Of tas baned Of Thu
lset."
kr; Sf0KELY could seq nothing good to De &C
compiished by the bill As be understood it, the OBJ
sct Of the bill place the question Of lIeeRs s.
ing retailers in the hands oftAe people Of iDeor 81
porated towns, but it would not exclude them from
selling by the quart. So that liquor would be solo "a
within incorporated towns even II the bill should "A
become a Law. He was in favor of letting tn, ia
liquor question alone, and had SO pledged himself H
to his people. "a
Mr. BRADFORD hoped if the Senator from Nc
MINI MIR. Lane friendly to his bill, be would 81
withdraw his smspdmsat, it was calculated to 81
iefsst if. He was in favor Of such measure as
Instinct proposition.
