Austin, Feb. Elm discharg-

parte Jesse Farley, from Hall
county, and holding void an or
dinance of the city of Memphis
providing that all pool halls shall
close AT 9 O'Clock each evening
the court of criminal appeals to-
day rendered an opinion of far
reaching effect with regard to
city ordinances. Under the
principals announced, it may be
that the provision in the charter

people to order by election the

than twenty-four hours would be
invalid. In the Arrovo case the
city of Dallas passed an ordi-
nance authorizing the opening Of
saloons on Sunday for the pur-
pose Of selling liquor until 9
O'Clock IN the morning and until
a O'Clock in the afternoon. As
the state prohibited the selling
Of liquor for the twenty-fcur
hours, this ordinance was held
invalid, yet the city charter I'M
dertook 10 confer authority upon
the city 10 pass such an ordi-
nance. The ordinance under
took TO confer authority upon
the owners Of saloons 10 sell in
toxicants on Sunday until .
o'clock in the morning and re-
quired TO close until 4 O'Clock
in the evening. which time they
could carry on their business.
The ordinance was held invalid
in that il was contrary 10 the
statutes Of the state which re-
quires the closing Of the saloons
for the entire twenty-four hours.
Under the state law pool halls
and billiard tables may run or
keep open during the twenty

placed by the state statutes up.
on the hours Of opening and
carrying on the business. The
Memphis town ordinance under.
took to limit the opening Of
these pool halls 10 8 O'Clock in
the evening. This is in direct
conflict with the state law and
under authorities cited must be
held invalid.

and incorporated towns to levy
half of this amount Of state tax
for county and city purposes.
II Twas the REALTORS contention
that the ordinance is void be-
cause power was not granted un-
der the general statute to towns
and cities to pass the ordinance
in question. The court holds
that towns and cities that have
not power except such as
granted by the legislature, un-
less set out in the constitution,
and wherever there is a doubt of
the authority of the municipal
corporations that doubt is resolv-
ed more strongly in favor Of the
state, and against the municipal
corporation. Hence the city
must show the grant of power
and if there is a doubt it is de-
cided against the city. If there
is a punishment in this case, il
is less than that prescribed by

if the principles Of this. opinion
are adhered 10. The matter has
been agitated elsewhere.
Farley denied that the ordi-
nance of the city of Memphis
closing pool halls at 9 O'Clock
was valid. The county Judge
upheld the ordinance.
The city of Memphis passed
this ordinance by authority Of
article 431 of the revised civil
statutes authorizing towns TO
license, tax and regulate bill
lard tables, ten pin alleys, bowl
ing alleys, etc. "
The ordinance was passed up
on the suposition that pool and
billiard tables come within the
category. That matter. the
court of criminal appeals did not
pass upon.
Attention was called to the
fact that there has been levied a
state occupation tax upon pool
tables and this authorizes county

a telegram informing her of the death
of Mrs. Schumpert on Tuesday. This

family left Newberry three years ago

FOR NEW SCHOOL BUILDING.
Meeting to be Held at POmaria on May
1S-PrOf. W. X. Tate to Submit
Plan.

County Superintendent of Education
E. H. Aull gives out the following
statement:
"On account of the rains and bad
weather, it was impossible to carry out
the intinerary as arranged with Prof.
w. K. Tate to visit the rural schools.
Prof. Tate was with US only one day,
but we managed to visit three schools,
Excelsior, st. Pauls, and Pomaria.
Prof. Tate talked to the patrons and
children present at st. aPuls and Po-
maria. The stop at each school was
necessarily brief. He was kind enough
to take a picture of the three schools
with the children in front, and if any
of the children desire one Of these pic
lures, 1 will see if we can not have
some made. Prof. Tate himself does
not have the pictures made for any
one except himself, but extra copies
could be had through the photograph
er in Columbia who develops them for
him.
"After Prof. Tate's talk at Pomaria,
and that is the point I want to en-
phasize in this statement, the patrons
who were present began to agitate the
question of new building, and with
that in view, Prof. Tate agreed to re-
turn to Pomaria on the evening of
May 13, at which time We hope to
have all of the patrons of the district
present at the meeting to discuss the
question of a new building and two
teacher school. There is no doubt
that a new building is very much
needed at Pomaria, and I hope that
all of the patrons Of this district will
attend the meeting which will be held
in the present school building on the
evening of May 13.
CAT one time many years ago, Bethel
academy ranked as one of the best
schools in the State and had large
attendance, and, unless I am mistaken,
for time was taught by two male
teachers. A number Of young men
were prepared for college in the
school The same old building is in
use, but it has served its time.
81 am satisfied if the patrons can
understand the proposition which
Prof. Tate will submit, and if they are
present, there will be no difficulty in
understanding, steps will be taken i'm
mediately for a new school building
at Pomaria, and Pomaria can have one
of the best rural schools in the State.
want to urge again the importance
of every patron of the district attend
ing this meeting which will be held, as
stated, on the evening of May 13. La
dies as we'll as men will be expected"

ing.
Charleston Post 26th

Charleston Post, 26th.
DR.. Settler had as his subject, "How
Can Our Teaching of English Gram
mar Be Made More Emcient?" His pa
per was of great value to the teachers,
for he treated his subject from the
standpoint of an enthusiastic student
of grammar, and an experienced teach
er. Better texts, better prepared
teachers and emphasis upon the I'M
portance of grammar was the three
main divisions of DR.. Settlers address.
His story of the English language and
its development was a mastery effort.
He showed how important and how
interesting grammar really is, and
gave the teachers many timely sug-
gestions as to how they might inspire
in their pupils enthusiasm over the
study of this branch.
