Memphis.
In Keeping With Usual
Disregard for Law, 'Tis
Said Will Ignore New
Jug Act. |

Absolute ignoring of provis-
ions of the state q new intrastate
and Interstate jug" acts is con-
templated by Memphis whole
sale liquor dealers, according to
information which has leaked
out from secree sessions which
the dealers concluded one day
last week.
Many thousand circulars an.
nouncing this action to the
Wholesale liquor dealers trade
have been ordered. They are to
be mailed, it is said, immediate
ly upon coming from the press.
They will set forth, it is under
stood, that npon the advice of
"high legal counsel" !" thewhole-
salers have ascertained that both
the interstate and intrastate
ing" acts are unconstitutional,
Invalid, and absolutely without
effect, and that they in no way
restrict or regulate shipments
either within the state or points
outside, or from points within
the state or outside of Memphis.
Last Thursday a new Grand
Jury was sworn in by Judge Edg-
ington of the First Criminal
Court. In his charge the Judge
instructed the jury as to provis-
ion Of the jug" acts. No inti-
nation that the jury contem-
plates . probe into Wholesale
liquor shipments has been given
out.-Special to Banner

Expressed In Columns
of Jackson Sun.

VIII you allow me 10 say 9
word7 From our reading regu-
larly four leading newspapers Of
different factions and their clip
pings from other papers, we con-
clude that there is only one way
to unite the democratic party
and that is to make platform
favoring a continuance Of the
present temperance laws and a
fair election law;;GAnd also such
means as may be necessary to
insure law enforcement, even to
the removal Of mayors or any
other officer who in violation Of
their oaths nullify state laws,
and then nominate q man for
governor whose views are entire
ly 10 accord with these things
and who can be depended upon
to use oil the means at his COM
mand to carry out the platform
pledges.
Surely all patriotic citizens are
rejoicing in the hope that the
Lea -Stahlman controversy will
soon come to an end. Neither
one Of these gentlemen will be
thought more Of when they are
through with one another than
when they commenced their
muss. But one or both Of them
may be thought less Of. We be-
lieve they are both sincerely in
favor Of prohibition. II they
are, let them cease their conten-
tions and jointly agree to recon-
mend some man for governor
who has the confidence Of all fac
tions. Such as Speaker White
of the Senate, ex-senator
Webb, Hon. Ohas. Gates, Jr,, or
some man Of state renown, that
the people will be willing to risk
andin whose, hands they will
|feel safe.
y AZ the Hill Billies from Hen
INV sG68ther counties with proper
delegations select this man and
put him on the race and Stahl-
man and Lea with their papers
endorse the nomination. Then
|let I'LL other democratic papers
|of ali factions, those that believe
the whisky question is settled
and those who do not think it is
settled, rally in support Of this
democratic nominee and recon-.
mend that no man be supported
for the next legislature by the
democratic party who does not
have the utmost confidence Of
the community in which he
Lives; whose word is as good as
any ones bond and who is in
