FORTY-THIRD DAY.

The lower house of the State Legis-
lature, by vote of Sc to 2S, passed
the Rice-Ligon bill which prohibits
betting on horse races in Tennessee.
The bill originated in the Senate and
now goes to the governor. Mr.. Cox
voted for the bill in the Senate, and 1t
is conceded he will sign the measure
as soon as it reaches him.
The bill goes into effect December
1, 1905, and makes 1t misdemeanor,
punishable by fine of $25 in each
case, to bet on a horse race in the
State 1t also repeats all laws per-
hitting betting on licensed race tracks
in Tennessee. In the fight against
the bill, the race track interests have
advanced the argument that its pas
sage would kill horse racing in the
State, and it is generally expected
that the spring meeting at Nashville
and spring and fall meetings at Mem
phis will mark the close of racing in
Tennessee.
The fight over the question has been
the most bitterly contested one known
in a Tennessee legislature since that
L
The days action was taken after a
long and vigorous debate, listened to
by crowded galleries. The announce
ment of the vote was received by pro-
longed applause both from the gal
leries and on the floor of the House.
AS soon as the usual routine bust
| ness had been transacted the race bill
came up as unfinished business, and
after two or three efforts to call the
previous question had failed, the bill
passed. The affirmative vote was
really So, but Mr.. Williams, of David
son, changed from no to aye, and en-
| tered motion to reconsider.
The vote in detail was as follows:
Ayes - Messrs. Baldridge, Bean
Birdsong, Blount, Bohannon, Bryant

Gibson County Farmer Disappears.

Nhe residents in and around the
nGighborhood of Old South Gibson,
five miles east of Humboldt, are
wondering what has become of Fen
ner Priddy, while his mother and
sisters are grief-stricken over his
sudden disappearance. 1t seems
that Priddy went to Gibson over
two weeks ago, and while there,
asked to borrow some money from
a friend, saying he was going to
get married. His friend gave him
the money and wished him success
in his contemplated matrimonial
venture. After receiving the money
Priddy walked up the Louisville &
Nashville railroad toward Milan.
1t is said, as he was about to meet
some men whom he knew coming
toward Gibson, he tied a handker-
chief over his face in an endeavor
to keep himself from being recog-
nized. This is the last heard of
Priddy, and his disappearance is in
deed very mysterious. 1t is said he
had sweetheart at Lexington, but
telephone messages to that point,
and to all other points where he was
likely to have gone, have been to no
avail in locating him. Priddy is a
prominent young farmer, about %
years of age, and lived with his
widowed mother and two sisters.
He disappeared about year ago
and was found at Bells, where he
claimed he had been carried by some
unknown parties. He was a man
of medium height and size, dark
complexioned, and of timid, re-
served nature.
