TIDMAN, of Course.

In suit filed in chancery court
at Chattanooga the liquor laws
of Tennessee will be tested from
all entirely new angle. Ii. Ii.
DaLoach, a saloon keeper, con.
tests payment of two notes held
by the Wakemen DistilIing Com
pany for liquors. In his petition
filed through his attorney, j. W.
Eastman, DeLoach contends that
the entire transaction was illegal.
and therefore the Wakeman has
no authority to collect the
account of the notes. The claim
is made that, as it is illegal to
contract for the sale of liquor in
Tennessee, it is therefore Illegal
to attic npt to collect for such
goods.
