Speaking editorially Of the lockwood
anti-iug law that has just been held to
be unconstitutional by Judge M. M.
Allison, Of Chattanooga, the Nashville
Banner says: ut is hardly surprising
that this very rigorous town legislation
should be found untenable by court.
The substance of Judge Allison's de-
cision is that the municipality OF Rock
wood, as a creature of the state, has
not been vested with the power to pro-
hibit the transportation of liquor from
other parts of the state, that it's ordi-
nances are ultra wires and void, and
that the defendant common carrier is
bound to receive and transport all ar
ticles offered for shipment under res-
sonable rules and regulations. Aside
from the question Immediately dealt
with by the court, the lockwood ordi'
nances fail to recognize the distinction
between the inhibition of the sale oil
intoXicants within the municipality fol-
which a license would be necessary ant
the denial by ordinance of the inherent
right of citizen to buy outside O
lockwood and have shipped to him fol
his individual use any article withou
being subjected to espionage, restric
ton or penalty"

ROckWO cod Anti-Jug Law Held as Void il
Law.


Chattanooga, July % Judge M. M.
Allison has declared in decision here
that the anti-iug ordinance of Rock
wood is null aud void. Unless the de-
cision is reversed by the supreme court
it may have far-reaching effect on the
jug trade of the state. In a suit for
mandamus filed by E. r. Betterton &
Co against the Southern Express Co.
some time ago, the compliments failed
to get relief, Chancellor Mcconnell
Diminishing the mandamus, but men
tioning the fact that there was a reme-
dY at law. In this action, the com
plainant, Wholesale liquor dealer,
sought to mandamus the express com
pany to ship packages OF liquor to par
ties in lockwood. To the second ac-
ton taken in the circuit court the Ores
cent Liqnor company sought to secure
damages because of the failure of the
express company to handle whisky
packages to lockwood. The cIrcnit
Judge gave judgment for damages.
The circuit Judge cites several supreme
court decisions of Georgia, showing
similar ordinances to be invalid. He
quotes the case of Grills VS.. Mayor aud
Aldermen of Jonesboao, in which the
court through Judge Nichols, said
Whatever may be our views as to the
evils OF intemperance, so long as the
Legislature continue to legaliZe the
traffic and to confer to those engaged
in it the rights attached to their priv
lsge, the courts are bound. TO protec,

rights and privileges against unreason

ties, be passed in the interest of moral

Drop Time Tables.

Newspapers are dropping out
the railroad time table which will
soon be thing of the past as far
as the country newspaper is con-
cerned. The city papers will con-
tinue to run the time tables. which
are placed as regular advertising
matter but the railroads treat the
country newspapers differently,
giving them permission to run the
time tables as news matter only.
The newspapers will of course
refuse the tables unless paid for at
space rates since they are the
cleverest kind of advertising. The
action is the result of the new
federal railroad rate law.-Monroe.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is inham-
ed you have rlnbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out-of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infaned condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.

same time expanding a large sum

HAVE YOU Paid YOUR
POLL T4Xs

Only one day more remains in
which to pay poll taxes and re-
tain the right to vote during this
entire year. THE HERALD feels
that it cannot urge too strongly
that all property owners of Browns
vile and Cameron county pay
their poll tax, if they have not yet
done so. 1t is more than likely
that matters of importance will
come up for consideration this
year, in which every tax payer
will wish to have a voice. Among
other things, it is quite possible
that Brownsville property owners
may be called upon to vote on a
proposition to issue bonds for
water works, electric lights or a
sewerage system. Municipal own
ership of the first two improve
ments may yet be the only way in
which the present problem can be
solved. If it should come to an
election, on this subject, every tax
payer will want to vote. In the
county there will probably be bond
issuesfor drainage and perhaps for
road improvements to be voted up
on. Therefore every taxpayer
should see to it that he does not
disfranchise himself by failure to
secure his poll tax receipt before
tomorrow night.

Give horses a bucket of water
to sip with their feed, like men do
when they eat. Why not? A horse
man says of this plan in Norway
when feeding horses, that in that
country you never see a broken
winded horse, and it is because
horses are allowed to drink while
eating. the same as men do. He
adds: Our horses, let them be as
thirsty as get out, must still eat
their dry fodder, their dry hay and
oats and corn. with nothing to
wash them down. But in Norway
every horse has bucket of water
beside his manger, and, as he eats,
he drinks also. 1t is interesting
to see how the Norwegian horses
relish their water with their meals.
Now they sip a little from the
bucket, now they eat mouthful,
then another sip. then another
mouthful, just like rational human
beings. You never see a broken
winded horse in Norway, and the
natives say it is because they serve
water to the animals with their
feed.

light was thus produced from the

six weeks we had her completely well, and
there has been no recurrence of the
