At midnight fire broke out in the big

The entire fire department is at work

HOME TELEPHONE

In City of Nashville Case.

/ Among the cases decided Saturday
/ by the Supreme Court was that of the
Home Telephone Company VS.. May,

Davidson County. Reversed and de.

The original bill was filed in this
case to compel the city authorities of
Nashville to permit compliments to

refused, and when the agents Of the
company undertook to erect Its poles
and string its wires they were arrest
ed by the city authorities, who denied
them the right to enter the city or do

was filed to enjoin the city from ar
resting the agents and allow them to
enter the city and do business under
reasonable police regulations and to

II was contended by the city autho-

power to grant to any company an ex.

Alderman Cameron thought the city

Alderman fowler thought Mr.. May

and thought if they did, they would
not object to putting up $1,000 as

Mr. Rainey offered to withdraw and

election Occurs Today-campaian Has
Been the Warmest That City
Has Ever known.

GAINESVILLE, Tenn, Feb. Is
One OF the hottest campaigns In the
history of Clarksville was brought to
a close tonight, when Sheriff Johns,
of Davidson County, delivered an ad-
dress at the Opera House before an
audience of men which taxed the ca
pacity of the auditorium. The fight
has been a bitter one from the start.
The Anti-Saloon League was organized
nearly a year ago to inaugurate the
fight and the saloon men are well or.
ganized. Tomorrow Tuesday the
election will be held and all indica-
lions point to the heaviest vote ever
polled here in any election. Both
white and colored will be allowed to
vote. A registration is required, but
no poll tax. Nearly 5000 registration
certificates were issued. and at the sup
Elementary registration held last week
the registration was nearly 1000, the
heaviest ever known.
Inc idul6S Ol Inc city are WOH VI
ganized, and will assist in the fight.
The children will also take part, pa
rading the streets and singing prohi.
bition songs The ladies will serve
lunch and tents have already been
erected near the two polling places.
Groundless reports both for and
against the saloon are heard on every
side, and the anti-saloon forces are
kept busy running such reports down.
The saloon men played their trump
card today, when letter was publish
ed from Temple, Texas, stating that
prohibition had had a bad effect on
that town. This letter was denounced
and reports published by the ants
to prove that it was not true. A SINH
lar letter from Milan was also dealt
with and the Mayor of that town was
present by invitation of the Anti-Sa-
ioon League at tonights meeting to re-
flute the statements.
Interest in the election is intense
on all sides, and both sides are conf
dent, although the ants are thought |
to have the best of it, and 1t Is predict |
ed that the town will go dry by good |
majority.
