LEBANON APPROVES.
Some of the Advantage Of No Saloons
Are Recited

Lebanon, Tenn. Jan. 29.-At
big mass-meeting held here las
night the following was unnani
mously adopted:
1--WE, the citizens of Lebanon
Wilson County, Tenn, in mass
meeting assembled, hereby RECORD
our most hearty approval of the
action of the General Assembly II
passing Senate Bill No. l known as
the Adams bill. We congratulate
the General Assembly on giving the
people OF some twenty-five towns
the right to abolish saloons. We
heartily indorse the course of our
Senator, Hon. A. A. Adams, who
introduced the bill in the Senate,
and SO ably led it to victory in that
body. We commend our Represent
atives, Hon. S. G. Stratton and Hon.
j. N. Adams, for their support of
this bill in the House, and for help.
ing to achieve such signal VIC
tory, 80 to IL, in that body.
"But while we rejoice in this re-
markable victory for right sobriety,
we express the hope that the Gen
eral Assembly will enact some fur
Their legislation which will enable
towns of 5000 population and under
to derive the benefit from the four
mile law without having to surrender
their charters, and we respectfully
request our Senators and Repre-
sentatives to take such action in
this direction as may commend
itself to their Judgment.
1.-THE state officers of the Anti
saloon League deserve the graft
tude of all lovers of law and order
for their untiring efforts in the in
terest of sobriety and higher grade
OF citizenship. The State Superin-
tendent of the league, the Rev.
John Royal Harris, made splen-
did campaign and displayed excel
lent leadership. In our opinion a
large part of the credit for victory
is due to him.
"We are in hearty sympathy with
House bill No 2, introduced by Hon.
S. G. Stratton, ito protect chill
dren, etc., as amended by the
Senate, and we hereby express our
thanks to the Hon. S. G. Stratton
for passing this bill.
1--WE memorialize the General
Assembly to enact bill to regulate
the Jug trade, and we request our
Senators and Representatives to
urge and support such bill. "We
respectfully memorabilia the Gen
-eral Assembly to abate the nuis-
ance existing at Double springs,
Putnam County, by repeating the
charter of that little hamlet.
.'For the encouragement of towns
entitled to the benefit of the four
mile law we hereby record our
testimony to the fact that our town
was never so prosperous under
saloons as it has been since they
were abolished. Business in all lines
has greatly increased, large num-
Der of new residences been built,
and it is very rare that vacant
house can be found. The demand
for houses is so great some of our
public-spirited citizens are now un-
dertaking to erect number to
meet the demands. Our mer-
chants were never more prosperous
Our town is now noted for So
briefly, and there has been no
difficulty worth mentioning in en-
forcing the law. A few vigorous
prosecutions in the beginning con-
yinced the would-be violators of the
law that they would not be trified
with. 1t can be said that the four
mile law here does prohibit.

tiGn oi pict.ic act,. and q. hel Nplu-
sivc mutern! have h%en prepared at
the army ordnance office.
The army ordnance officers have
discovered that the one-pnunder or
subcalibcr projectiles used for target
practice in big guns do not contain
sufficient explosive material to burst
the shell on impact with the water
or with the target. 1'he result is
that in long distance firing it is ilrl-
possible to Judge of the result, since
the impact must be visible.
It has been found necessary, there
fore, to adopt q new fuse invented
at the Frankfort arsenal, which has
the effect OF increasing the visibility
on impact explosion.
These ono-pounder projectiles are
used in firing The large ca1iber coast
defense guns by means of the inser'
ton of subcali'oer tube. This saves
the expense of firing large shell.
The same results can be obtained
and the men get the benefit OF the
practice in aiming and operating the
gun. Under this ingenious device the
same breech mechanism can be used
in firing the one-pounder shells as in
firing large caliber projectiles.

ment, irrigation, municipal corporations.

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.

AS intimated by the DEMOCRAT last
week the transfer of the Langdon
Electric Light Co., plant was made to
the city last Friday night, the purchase
price being $500 and includes all the
property, including building, lots and
machinery, as well as wires and poles,
with the exception of the gasoline
engine, which has not been used in the
operation of the plant the last couple of
years. The city takes possession of the
plant on Monday, February 1st, at
which time John Henry, of Grafton, will
be installed as electrician The meet
ing of last Thursday evening was but
the closing of proposition which the
city made Mr.. Gardner at their meeting
of the 10Th inst. A cash payment of
$1,000 was made and later Il warrant for
the balance, $500, will be issued to Mr..
Gardner, bearing interest at Z per cent,
which the city can take UP at any time
The city has also assumed ownership of
the new dynamo that arrived during the
week, and after giving the plant a
thorough going over expects to have the
same in first-class running order soon.
A noticeable improvement in the system
of street lighting is one of the first con-
templated improvements of the city.

SHORT CIRCUITS NERVES.
Physician Prevents the 1naic.
ttOn of Bodily Pain.

Dr. c. c. Carroll, of the County
Medical society, has discovered a
method of preventing bodily sensa.
tlons of pain from reaching the brain.
thus doing away with the necessity
OF anaesthetics in surgery. The plan
might be called "short-circuiting" the
nerves.
The discovery of the wave theory
OF electric transmission permitted
the discovery of the possibility of
short-circuiting a nerve. DR.. Carroll
found that the rate of oscillation
along nerve is 100000 per second
Approximately. Marconi has found
mat wireless biography requires soo,-
ooo oscillations per second.
After L had computed the number
Oh wave oscillations per second" said
DIR. Carroll, 1T became necessary to
obtain an electric oscillator having
inc same wave capacity as the nerves.
L mad Mr.. Tesla build me an electrical
"selllator capable of 100000 oscilla-
tions

DRY ci short-circuiting a nerve popu-

Rare Manuscript for University.
DR.. V. G. Simkovitch, who has charge
of the literary treasures of Columbia
university, has purchased for the Ii
brary an early italian manuscript OF
GREAT value and interest. The manu-
Script in question contains the epistles
of St. Jerome, and, although it is not
dated, it is believed to have been made
during the ninth century. The manu-
script. which is beautifully written,
consists of about 200 parchmentleaves,
and is bound in leather covers of the
fifteenth century. The writing is
what is known as the Carlovingian
Minuscules. The chief popularity OF
the manuscript lies in its many and un-
usual authorizations, and on account of
this It will be of interest to students
of photography.
