working on the L.. & N. track. when
the accommodation appeared around a
curve, only hundred feet or SO away.
Thomas companion stepped up on
the L. q N. track, out of the way of
the app olching train. but Thomas
evidently thought the train was COM

stepped back on the N. q C. track, and
before he could be warned or could see
his danger, the pilot of the engine
struck him and he was dashed to the
ground just beside the track. His
body rebounding, fell under the cars
and was horribly mutilated.

A LIFT FOR LOCAL OPTION.
Supreme Court Approves Law of
Last Legislature.

Nashville, Jan 1S-The Supreme
Court today put its seal of approva
upon the law passed by the last legis
lature, giving towns Of 1900 inhabi-
tants the power to abolish theil
charters and reincorporate in order to
get the benefit of the four mile law
against saloons
The decision was rendered in the
case of the State against W. M. Swain,
the man who persisted in running a
saloon in Dickson after the town had
reincorporated under the new law.
SWANS contention was that Dickson
had become town of more than 1900
inhabitants, he insisting that the legis-
lature fixed the Federal census as the
authority only because of convenience,
and that the growth of town must
be looked to. According to the last
census the town had less than 1900 in
habitants, but by the annexation of
territory authorized by the last legis-
lature it acquired more than that num-
Der Of inhabitants before Swain began
selling liquor. The Supreme Court
held that the language of the statute
must stand and the conviction of
Swain was therefore affirmed. The
Jail sentences in the five cases against
Swain were, however set aside, and
the fine of $50 in each case allowed to
stand.
Swain is the man who operated
saloon at Midway and who raised
storm by endeavoring to establish one
at Lebanon.
The decision today is considered
great victory for the advocates of pro-
hibition and local option, and will
give them greater strength for the con-
test which is sure to come in the next
legislature.
AS soon as news of the decision
reached Dickson, Swain closed up his
place and will quit business
