Illicit Whisky Selling to be Stopped

Illicit Whlsky Selling 10 pc stopped
No man or set of men can hope
to successfully violate a law Of the
land, that is backed up by a healthy
public sentiment the more especi-
ally if the same Is morally right.
And so the Illicit whisky vendors
may as well stop their nefarious
business, ere prison walls stand be-
tween them and liberty. The peo-
pie Of Texarkana have spoken in
thunder tones against them, and
the people are right,
Yesterday Mayor p, A. Turner
of the West side summoned Messrs
Longinnoti and Carr to come be-
fore him, and bring with them all
prescriptions for whisky field by
them since June the 9Th or 10th.
They appeared, but failed to bring
the prescriptions, when his honor,
the Mayor, told Mr., Carr prescrlp-
tionist that if he did not produce
said prescriptions before 4 p, m,
yesterday he would fine him 500
and place him in Jail, Ere that
hour the prescriptions were pro-
duced.
Mayor Turner after carefully eX.
amlning the prescriptions will
issue summons, for many who had
used same, TO question them under
oath, to see if the prohibition law
had been violated, This examina
ton of such witnesses will soon be IN
progress, and it is safe to say that
somebody will "come to grief"
We called at Mayor Turner's Office
and found him still at work examin.
ing and taking data from the pre-
scriptlons. He informed us that
487 Of these prescriptions, from Dr.
10. 6, Burke, had been filed by
Messrs Carr and Longinnotti in the
fourteen days, from June 10 to 25th
an average Of 30 per day; that as
many us four or six prescriptions
for whisky, had been filed for one
man in a day, Mr., w. l., Carr was
present, and told us that his firm
had no intention of violating the
law, and that the prescriptions
were legal as far as their drug
store was concerned.

show that they are so well up to in
all details. Here is the proceedings
of the first day:
Promptly at noon the Democratic
State Convention was called to
order by Chairman, Carroll of the
state committee. Rev. Charles NJ.
Hemphill, of Louisville, offered
prayer, after which the names Of
X-Congressman w. j. Stone and
Judge W, N. Becker were presented
for temporary chairman The roll
call proceeded with all sorts of
points of order and dllatory confus
ion for over an hour when the re.
suit was announced at 2 o'clock as
follows; Becker 4484; Stone, 273I.
Necessary to choice, 440.
The election Of Becker as the
temporary presiding officer was
made unanimous, On assuming
the chair Judge Becker delivered
an eloquent address and assured all
that he represented no faction and
would rule with impartiality. He
! pleaded for harmony That part of
the address relating to the financial
question was displeasing to the
"souud money" men and not alto
gether satisfactory to the free
coinage men,
