ED ADAMS MUST
CLOSE UP SHOP
Tazewell Circuit Court Decides
He is Not Proper Person To
Sell Soft Drinks To Pocahon-
tas People.

Ed. Adams, the former Pocahon-
tas saloon-keeper, who has so often
appeared in court here upon the
charge of violation of the State pro-
hibition laws, has suffered the rcvo-
cation of his license to sell soft drinks
in the town of Pocahontas, and will
have to close up shop when his pres
ence license expires in May.
The proceedings We're brought in
court here to revoke the license of
Adams, by the Commemorative At
torney, who, with n large number
of the citizens of the town of Poca-
hontas, were Of the opinion that Adj
ans was using his soft drink cstab-
lishment as rendesvouz for boot
leggers and violators of the revenue
laws. From the evidence introduced
and the consequent quick decision of
Judge Kcgley in reaching n decis-
ion, it appears that it was pretty
well established that Adams is not
rs innocent of wrong-doing as some
of the members Of the Town Coun-
Gil of his town were wont to make
him out to be.
Among the witnesses for the State
were the following:
w. M. Mintcr, police justice Of Po-
cahontas. 1t was his opinion that
Adams was not selling the liquor
himself, but that he hired others to
conduct the traffic for him.
