SLOT
MACHINES
MAY RUN
so FAR AS MUNICIPAL AUTHoRI-
TIES ARE CONCERNED AND
THEY HAVE NO POWER TO
STOP THEM.
Supreme Court of the State Hands down
Such Decision, and 1t Is Highly I'm
portant on Account of the Slot
Machine War.

Two cases of the highest Importance
in view of the slot machine war which
is being waged at various points over
the statc, have just been decided by che
supreme court, which is in session in
Charleston.
The cases are both from Mercer coun-
ty, Marley vs.. Godfrey, mayor, and At
.Ilinsin V. Godfrey, mayor.
The cases are on appeal from the writ
Of prohibition which WAS awarded the
slct machine operators in Bamwell by
Judge Sanders, forbidding the municipal
authorities interfering in any manner
with the operation Of the machines.
Judge Sanders is sustained by the su.
prcme court, and the writ of prohibition
continued
The decision is of the highest impor-
tance, as it gives the slot machine opera
tors full sway in the operation Of the
machines, unless the matter is taken up
by The prosecuting attorneys of the va
rious counties in behalf of the state.
The municipalities are powerless to pro-
hibit the operation Of the machines.
The case was hotly argued in the su-
preme count, and Judge Brannon filed a
dissenting opinion, while Judge PofTen.
barger's decision was reached upon differ
ent grounds from those of the remainder
Of the court and concuruing notes were
filed by him.
