BRISTOL, vA.,TENN.
TOWN THAT Is LITERALLY DI.
vIDED AGAINST ITSELF.
But Still Perfect Harmony Seems to
exist-one May Do on One Side
Of Street What 10 Prohibited
on the Other.

Knoxville, Tenn.-That, contrary to
Biblical statement, city divided
against itself" can stand is shown
most strangely in the peculiar case of
Bristol. Va.-Tenn. The town is liter
ally divided in half by the state line
that separates Virginia and Tennessee.
one side OF the main street is in the
Old Dominion and the other In the
Volunteer state.
The state line runs in the center OF
the street car track on State street for
more than a mile. A novel plan OF
evading the Tennessee jim Crow laws
as affecting street cars was devised
when the legislature passed statute
requiring negroes to be seated in the
rear OF the cars and apart from the
whites. On State street half OF a car
is in Virginia and one-half in Ten
nessee. To evade this law II is only
necessary to have the colored passen-
gers ride on the side that Is running
in the Old Dominion, and by so doing
they may ride with a passenger who
is in Tennessee, but who is powerless
to compel the conductor to enforce the
Jim Crow law.
There is also a difference In the
marriage laws. In Bristol. Tenn, the
only prerequisites TO the issuance OF
marriage license are that the prospec-
tive bride be 16 and the groom IS.
while In the city just across the state
line IT is necessary for all applicants
for such license, where either party is
under 81 years old. TO have the written
consent OF their parents or guardians
The result is that Bristol, Tenn, Is a
sort OF Gretna Green for clipping cou.
pies from neighboring states whose
rigid laws withhold matrimony from
infants that are eligible in Tennessee.
However. there is slight difference
in the price. as the license In Bristol,
Va. only costs 81. while In Tennessee.
just across the street. the same docu-
ment sells for $3.50.
The fact that the principal thor
oughfare is directly on the state line
permits men in business to choose the
state in which the laws are more
favorable to their business In which 10
locate. and yet not sacrifice advan-
tages OF being on the principal street.
For instance, IL the state license tax
In Tennessee is 5000 a year and II is
