feet This law makes 1t illegal to
sell alcoholic beverages within four
miles of any schoolhouse in the
State. Only two cases are left in
all Tennessee. Both are within IL
miles of Memphis, near the Missis-
sippi State line. The nearest school
house is six miles from both of these
points, but steps have already been
taken by white ribboners to have
the county board of education erect
a schoolhouse within the distance
prescribed by the Holiday bill so
that there vii! be no mecca in the
entire State for thirsty pilgrims.
Thousands of men are thrown out
of employment and barkeepers are
seeking better irrigated fields.
The passing of the saloon in Mem
phis and in other cities through
out the State, according to advices
received, is marked by scenes of un-
usual hilarity. The celebration
started early and lasted until the
moment of closing, when there was
rush to purchase one last farewell
drink over the bar.
Grogshops were crowded with
lively revelers. Extra police precau-
tions were taken in Memphis. Mayor
Maloney instructing the chief of po-

While this good fellowship of tip
piers was in progress, Prohibition
lists held meetings of rejoicing.
Prayers were offered and hymns
were sung in the homes of the lead
ing teetotaleTs, although no public
meeting was held at any of the
churches.
Many were OF the opinion, and
some still are, that with the pass
ing of the open saloon would come
a reign OF blind tigers" and social
clubs, where it would be possible for
booZers to assuage alcoholic thirst
but Mayor Maloney declared his in
tention of enforcing the law through
out the city and State officers say
they will do the same in every coun-
ty.

tinue in the manufacture of beer
and at the same time test the con-
stitutonality of the law prohibiting
the manufacture of liquors in the
State OF Tennessee. stockholders in
the Tennessee Brewing Company, of
this city, filed an injunction suit in
the county chancery court against
John w. Schorr. president of the
concern. President Schorr has de-
clined to continue the manufacture
of beer because of the prohibition
act.
The stockholders claim that to
cease manufacturing beer would en-
tail a great loss upon them. Chan
cellor Minor has the case under con-
sideration.
