Deacon Tests Liquor and Wins.

Jackson, Miss, June S.-The Su- preme Court of this state has decided that any beverage which will make a church deacon drunk is subject to taxation under the internal revenue laws. At Magee, a little town in Simpson county, man named Berry sold a cider which became so popular and was accompanied by such hilarity on the part of the drinker that the notice of church people and prohibi- tionists was attracted. The attention of the revenue agent was also enlist ed. When Berry refused to pay a tax, the church delegated Deacon Gray, one of the most staid patri- archs, to drink of it until he was sat isfied that it was an alcoholic bever- age or harmless The deacon par took freely and finally emerged from the refreshment parlor highly hila- rious and quite unsteady on his staid old legs. Berry carried the case to the Supreme Court, which in it's de- cision took particular note of the
 effects of the drink on Deacon Gray.
