DEMOCRATIC PARTY

SHOULD BE MAN WHO STANDS
SQUARELY ON THIS PLANK.
SO DECLARES HON.fRANK AVENT
State Railroad Commissioner Re-
CARDS Liquor Issue Settled, and
Party Must Stand for Its Enforce.
ment by Law.

In talking of the political situation
Friday afternoon, Hon. Frank Avent
one of the three railroad commission
ers of the state, said the next demo
cratic platform must contain a tenn
perance plank in it, and that the can
didate must be man whose record
was in absolute conformity with the
platform on which he was nominated
THAT Is the only way in which the
democrats can expect to beat Hooper,
who will have the solid republican
support behind him. The democrat
selected must be man whose record
is above impeachment, whose private
life and public career are platform
in themselves. There is no use in
trying to straddle issues and go half
and half on public questions. The
democratic party must stand for law,
order, and strict enforcement of all
the statutes now written upon the
books of the state. Prohibition is one
of them, the question is settled, there
should be no repeal of it. 1t must
be one of the cardinal planks of the
platform. ......
CAS- for the man who should be the
standard bearer of the party, would
not like to express an opinion. There
are number in the field, but l have
no personal choices But want to
stress the fact that the man who is
chosen must be one whose record is
above reproach, both publicly and pri-
vately.
"As for myself, while l have made
no public announcement of it, yet l
expect to be a candidate at the next
election to succeed myself. l believe
that my record has been such as to
justify the people in giving me anoth-
err term"

ANANIAS CLUB TO
TRY MEMBER
GENTLEMAN TO BE
COURT MARTlALED MONDAY
AFTERNOON AT 3 O'CLOCK.

At meeting of the executive com.
mittee of the Ananias Club at its
rooms Saturday morning, it was de-
cided to have full session of all the
members at 8 o'clock Monday after
noon to sit upon and try one Of the
most prominent members for delin-
quency in attending meetings. The
secretary would not give out the
name of the noted gentleman, but
only stated that it would prove SEN
sation when all the facts in the case
were made known to the public. The
Judge, who will sit in the case, has
not yet been chosen, but will probably
be held some time during the day.
The active members of the club are
mum upon the exact nature of the
charges that will be preferred against
the delinquent member. He will be
allowed to have his counsel and pre-
sent his side of the question. They
deny that they will have any star
chamber proceedings, but will give
him a free, full and fair trial to clear
himself of the charges. The secreta-
ry, who is an expert shorthand man,
has promised to give The Herald a
full account of the trial.

RUMOR OF WEDDING
BELLS In SOCIETY
REPORTED THAT YOUNG COUPLE
WERE MARRIED FRIDAY
EVENING.

For the past day or so there have
been more or less rumors flying thick
and fast around the city of marriages,
divorces and other marital proceed
ings that would be of general interest
If they were revealed to the public.
Friday afternoon and evening there
was a pretty well authenticated re-
port that one of the best known of the
younger social lights of the city had
eloped with a certain young lady
with the monicker of European race
and had persuaded her to change her
initials to the first and last letters of
the alphabet. 1t was stated that they
could not live apart longer, and so
had repaired to the court house where
they were made one by a certain
obliging esquire who deems it the
greatest mission of his life to make
the young happy by joining them in
bonds Of werdlock.

the T. H. Williams tract, is situated
about three miles from the city on

probably one of the highest priced

farm without improvement of any
kind upon it, this is probably the rec
ord in the annals of Maury county

LAW MAKING WEBB
BILL EFFECTIVE IS
HELD TO Be NUuTY
ANTl.SHlPMENT OF LIQUORS
INTO STATE Is KNOCKED
OUT.
in SUPREME COURT OF STATE
Persons in Tennessee Can Now Order
Beer and Whisky From Out Of the
State In Any Quantities and at Any
Time.
Special to The Herald.

opCSldl " uO llCl dAu'
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 2S.-In
the supreme court today the Tennes-
see interstate liquor shipping law was
knocked out. The court held that the
act limiting shipments of intoxicants
to one gallon per day to each person
and regulating the same, among other
things requiring the express compa-
mics to report all shipments to the
county court clerk, was unconstitu-
tional, null and void.
This was one of the acts passed by
the second extra session of the recent
general assembly and designed prima-
rily to make effective the Webb inter-
state liquor act. The law was attack
ed in the courts of Davidson county
and Judge Allison held it to be I'M
constitutional. The decision of the
supreme court today sustains the
lower court.
The effect of the decision today will
be to render imperative and ineffec-
tive in Tennessee the provisions Of
the National Webb act. AS the mat
ter now stands those who desire to do
SO can order liquors from out of the
state in any quantities that they may
desire. Under this act the shipments
OF liquors had been very materially
curtailed and the drinking of beer al
most stopped for the reason that IL
quors could not be shipped within
the state and no one cared to order
as small quantity as one gallon Of
beer.
While shipments of liquor are still
prohibited within the state, there is
now no law to prevent purchases from
without the state in any amount and
at any time Just how to make the
Webb law effective will be one of
the questions for decision by the next
legislature.
While, under the decision, persons
may order liquor in any quantities
from out of the state, it is believed
that it will still be necessary to make
a record with the county court clerk
of the shipment.
