BY taking advantage of the four
mile law, whiskey can be virtually
banished from all the rural districts
and towns of the State. 1t requires
only few men in the civil district in
which a school is carried on to obtain
n charter, which, upon proper applica-
ton, will be granted by the Chancery
Court at a small cost Any school can
he chartered. After that is done, it
becomes unlawful to sell strong drink
within a radius of four miles except
in incorporated towns. There is no
sufficient reason why any country
place should be cursed with awhiskey

Lebanon, Tennessee, can hardly hell
increasing its popularity as an educa-
tional town by surrendering its char
ter and getting rid of saloons. 1t
is always a matter of deep concern
to send children away from the par
entail roof and control. So much o!
watchfulness and anxious solicitude
will not be found to protect them else
where. Hence at this particular peri
Cd, and under these circumstances, we
know of hardly anything that would
be calculated to do more in enlarging
the patronage of a college than the
fact that it is located beyond the reach
OF strong drink, where the retailing of
intOxicants is made n crime, and the
keeping of drinking houses thereby
rendered impracticable. There are
those who would send their sons five
hundred miles, in order to gain this
protection for them, where the in
ducements in other respects are no
greater than are offered near by; and
we will not say that it would not be
wise in them to do it.
We have here in GAINESVILLE the
Southwestern Presbyterian University,
to speak only of male institutions.
How vastly its interests and popular
ity would be advanced if it too could
share the same protection. Why not !?
IfitappearsupOn fair trial that Lebanon
can get along as well, or better, from a
material standpoint, without cOrpor-
alton in the absence Of saloons rs it can
with corporation and saloons, then
the test has been carried far enough
to show the practicability OF like
move here. However this may be,
there is remedy that is practicable
and that is to secure repeal of that
part of the law which exempts rom
its operation incorporated towns and
cities.
