Good Witness.

The editor of the Gainesville Her
aid expressed the opinion, before the
"three mile law" went into effect,
that it would prove "a failure, but the
successful operation of the law in
Clarksville has caused him to change
his opinion upon the subject. Read
what he says;
We were asked the other day what
we supposed the whisky ring paid
the Little Rock Gazette for pouring
cold water on the prohibition move
ment. We do not honestly think
that Dean Adams would rcciryo q
bribe to help storvo womeuaud chill
drcn, as hc must know lue stle o.
whisky docs; but the course Of jbl
Gazette in opposition 20 the Three
Mile Law is becoming obnoxious to
many of its readers in this section of
the State. How any man Of SENSE,
who cares a ftp for law and order, OF
the welfare of his kind, can favor the
license law, after witnessing the BEN
eiicial effects of prohibition for near
three months, surpasseth our under
standing. Since the first of January
we have not witnessed a single fght.
or heard any quarreling or cursing
on the street, whereas before that date
these things were of daily occurrence,
and ON SATURDAYS almost hourly, So
much SO that we, with Others warned
our wives and daughters to stay at
home on Saturdays. We were lis
tening toa party of gentlemen talk
ing other day, one of whom is law
yer Of no mean ability, and he re-
marked that he never knew the law
business to be as dull before, SAYING
that he had only taken one fee since
the first of January. There was
nothing said about prohibition in that
conversation, but we can say this here.
that prohibition not only stops the
Sale Of whisky in Clarksville, but it
prohibits quarreling, fighting and
lawsuits, to great extent, and
makes law-abiding citizeps Of former
law-breakers. 1t does more, il saves
for the people tens of thousands OF
dollars year forwcrly spent for
whisky, which they can now use in

An FnnpcrtaRs DccisIon.

The United s'ates Supreme Court
recently decided that conditions in
title deed Of land prohibiting the
manufacture or sale of liquor on the
ground conveyed by it are valid and
binding, even upon subsequent pur-
chasers from the first guarantee, the
conditions are attached to the land.
The benefit Of this adjudication is
now to be turned TO use in founding
