sCREvEN'S LIQUOR LAW,
Makes the License $4,000. and Is
Being Contested.


Sylvania. Ga, jan 12-The County
Court Of Screven county has been in ses-
sion three days this week, trying some
of those who were indicted by the last
grand jury for retailing spirituous liquors
without license. About forty indictments
were found against parties in various por-
tons OF the county for violation OF the
local high license law.
The act which made Screven county
dry was a local one. and placed the
licenses for selling at $4,000, besides re-
curing the recommendation of two thirds
of the grand jury; and this virtually
amounts to prohibition When the first
cases were called this week. Coils j. w
Overstreet and w. II. Minis, for the de-
Tense entered a demurrer 40 the indlct-
ments, attacking the consdtutionality Of
the local law.
The ground upon which they made their
fight was this; The constitutional law Of
the state declares that when an act Is
passed in the legislature the caption shah
set forth all the main points in the body
Of the act, so that a legislator in voting
for or against il may not be deceived
thereby. In the case of the Screven law
the caption does not mention any penalty.
but simply iterates-to fix the license at
$4,000, "and for other purposes"
Upon this last sentence the fight was
made. The counsel for the defendants held
IL to be unconstitutional, in that it did
not set forth the penalty The solicitor.
Col. 7. w. Oliver, argued that the phrase
FOR other purposes" covered the whole
ground; and to this view of the question
