Hust Know That He Intends To Get
Drunk On It..

The Supreme Court decided an inter-
esting case last Monday in reference to
patent medicines which contain suff-
cient quantities of alcohol to produce
intoxication. 1t was that of J. r.
Goode VS.. the State, and came up from
the Circuit Court OF Tate county.
Goode is country. merchant and car
ried, or did carry, a stock OF patent
medicines for his trade, among other
remedies in the list being a kidney cure,
known as "K. K. X" This was popu-
larly supposed to be good kidney cure,
but it was also known as a fluid con-
tanning sufficient alcohol to make the
jag come, unless the direction On the
bottle were scrupulously followed.
Goode sold bottle ct this medicine to a
man named Brewer, who acquired there
on what is popularly known as "a
lovely package" At the next session
of the grand jury Goode was indicted
for illicit retailing.
court, in which be drew a nice distinc-
tion between medicines of the proprie.
tary class and those offered for sale by
parties who are we'll aware of the fact
that they are to be used for iag-acquir-
ing purposes. The conviction in the
lower court was reversed chiefly on ac-
count of the refusal of an instruction &c
the jury allowing that body to consider
the presumption that the remedy was
being sold as medicine, and not as a
beverage. In brief, the court holds
that it devolves oa the prosecution te
prove a knowledge existing on the par;
of the accused that the liquid in ques-
tion is not to be used as medicine, but
as a beverage. The court rejected the
theory that the State has only to prove
sale, lack Of license, and Intoxicating
quality Of the preparation sold.-Hazle-

WILL PLANT VEGETABLES.
Pass Packing Co. TO Can Tomatoes,
Butter Beans and Okra Extensively
The Pass Christian Beacon says:

The Pass Christian Beacon says:
: On Saturday evening last Messrs
Merrick, Brown and Councilman OF
the Pass Packing Company met with a
large number of the truck planters OF
Plneville and vicinity, with the view of
having the farmers take up the matter
OF raising tomatoes, butter beans and
okra for canning, as the management
of the factory desired to engage exten-
sively in future in the canning OF fruit
and vegetables, if the raw product can
be obtained and the factory people were
prepared to make contracts and render
such assistance as they could for the
planting and growing of the crops they
could use
A number of the farmers manifested
much interest in the matter, and they
have already decided to plant largely of
tomatoes, which crop they feel certain
can be cultivated successfully and prof
itably in this soil. Okra also grows
vigorously and produces abundantly in
low or wet places and reqnires but little
attention.
The canning Of vegetables by the To-
cal company should be encouraged, as it
may mean a great deal to the town and
to all the surrounding country. There
is no good reason why the cultivation
OF such vegetables as are wanted cannot
be successfully conducted on our soil,
and we believe a trial will prove that
money can be made in this industry.

He had confidential spell on him self
last night, did that Howard avenue
business man, and grew talkative on
the "knockin'" subject. "Did you
eyer see a lot Of those two-bit fellows
who had it In for business man, and
didn't know why? Ever hear the gang
curse and berate home man who had
made a success of what he undertook,
while they had been chewing and spit
ting and lushing at the same old job
they monkeyed with fifteen years ago?
Ever see a man who gloried in another's
success enough to take struggler by
the hand and say: "I'm glad to see YOU
succeed ?" OF course you have. You
see them every day. Then there are
dozens OF reptillians who will greet you

because you attend to your business
and succeed. Whether they can do as
we'll or not, there are alT, rs plenty OF
the venomous knockers who are so filled
with envy and jealousy that they can't

They fight you and lie about you for no

better than Shakespeare did, when he
said; 'You have enemies who know not
why they are, but, like the village cur,

The evidence showed that Charlton

walk across the trestle to board the
car, when the notorman began to back
the coach and despite Charlton's cries

Apartment House Planned

Residents of the Fourth ward tool
time by the forelock and entered pro.
test against a probable laundry in theil
midst before an application for Q
laundry had been made to the fire com.
mission.
Yesterday morning persons residing
in the vicinity of Ninth street anc
Albany avenue appeared before the fire
commission to protest against a Laundry
being built on Albany. between Ninth
and Tenth streets. The commission
was surprised. as there was no applica.
tion for a laundry before 1t.
Chief Lips, however, solved the puzzle
when he told the commission that the
California Drill company had beer
drilling a well on some property or
Albany street owned by the Empire
Laundry company and had used a gas
oline engine. AS no permit had beer
issued for such an engine at this place
he had stopped its operation Thursday
afternoon.
Laundry Owns Land
AS the land belonged to the Laundry
company the people in the distric
feared that it was proposed to establish
laundry at that place, and as it is {
purely residence district the propert!
owners were prepared to make serious
objections. Attorney M. ]. McGarry,
member of the park commission, led tn,
protestants.
The commission promised that as thi!
place was outside the laundry district
established by ordinance, and on ac-
count of the sentiment expressed by
the property owners 1t would take nc
action toward granting permit for g
laundry without first notifying all the
protestants Under the terms of the
present ordinance the commission can.
not grant a permit for a laundry al
that place, anyhow.
#. e. Fay. proprietor of the Empire
laundry. later appeared before the COM
mission and said that in drilling the
well he had no idea of building a
laundry, but would probably build a
large apartment house on the site, and
If the well showed water would furnish
hot and cold water to his flats in this
way.
Acting on the advice of the mayor,
Mr.. Fay made formal application for
permission to continue drilling his WE'LL
and the fire commission took ten
minutes recess while he did so.
