tings Court, has set aside Thursday,

court can complete the task in three
days. Judge Richa rdSon will start the
work at 10 o'clock on Thursday morn
ing and he expects to have it finished

The section of the prohibition net
covering soft drinks'' is so sweeping
that merchants in many lines of bust
ness must go before the court and pro-
cure the required permit before they
can continue their trade. This section
reads as follows: The words soft
drinks as used in this act. shall DO
construed To embrace and include any
and all beverages patented, domestic or
otherwise OF every description and
kind, which may be offered for sale in
thls state, not embraced IN the words
ardent spirits as defined in this act
This law Is so broad that it includes
almost every known American drink,
such AS lemonade. buttcrmilk and swcc,
milk. IL was inserted In the act with
the view of bringing under the super
vision'of the court all dealers In bev-
crREcs. the trainers realizing that in
the wake Of prohibition would follow Il
flood of imitation drinks.
The act also provides for any citizen,
either personally or through counsel.
TO object TO tho granting OF any o!
these permits.
There Is nothing in the law to pre-
vent the superintendent of II hospital
from purchasing ardent spirits or pure
fruit alcohol for the use OF hospital or
laboratory. which. of course. must not
be used contrary 10 the act.

MAURY COUNTY
FOR CONVENTION
IoiNS THE PROGRESSIVE COLUMN
BY A SUBSTANTIAL
MAJORITY.

Maury county joined the progress
sive movement ON Thursday and voted
in favor of a constitutional conven-
ton. Nineteen years ago it cast a
majority for the convention, being one
of six counties in the state to do So
On Thursday the vote was light, not
much over half that cast for the coun.
ty offices. but twenty out Of twenty
nine precincts which returned the vote
on the proposition show majority for
the convention of 256. This may be
reduced when full returns are received
but 1t cannot be wiped out. Culleoka,
Columbia and Hampshire gave the
most substantial majorities for the
proposition. 1t received its hardest
blows at Leftwich and at Timmons.
Much credit for the splendid result
shown in Columbia Is due to Thos. B.
Forgey Of the campaign committee OF
the Tennessee Constitutional League,
who personally labored at the polls
all day for the convention Mr.. Forgey
gave The Herald an interview a day
or two before the election in which
he advanced cognent reasons for the
calling Of convention and predict
ing that the proposition would carry.

box will give him the election by three
votes. 1t is claimed that the vote from
this box heretofore reported as forty.

two for Derryberry. This would, II
true, elect Hunter by three majority.
The constitutional convention car

other changes from those heretofore

pared, being signed all within less

failure to bring in the missing boxes
the commission had to adjourn until
