"Yes" Means Beer, mo" Means None

A number of people have asked US
how to vote on the beer and wine
amendment at the coming election AS
far as we are concerned vote mo-.
That is not the meaning of the queries
which we have received, however, and
they were from people who wanted
to vote right on the amendment and
who were afraid if they voted at all
they might vote just the opposite of
what they wanted to. Most Of these
people wanted to. Most Of these peo-
Pile wanted to vote against the return
of the saloon and the beer and wine
amendment and wondered If they
should mark a cross in the square be
fore the Yes or the No. If you want
TO vote for the amendment-tha is TO
beer and light wine and the bad fea-
lures which it will bring with it, mark
cross in the square before the word
Eyes" If, however, you are OPP
posed to this amendment and desire
to vote against it. mark a cross in the
square before the word mo"
Some people are getting twited up
in this matter because Of the fact
that when they voted for prohibition
they voted eyes" and think that by
voting the same way at the coming
election they will vote against the
amendment when in reality they will
be voting for it and against their own
convictions and desires.

WHISKEY BUSINESS
CAUSING COMMENT

! The increase In the number OF
reported stills in this section is
causing considerable comment.
The revenue officers are also
busy and the indications are that
there is going to be lots of trou-
BILE over the simple question of
whether booze-lovers shall obey
the law or not. 1t is said by rev.
enue men that there is more
whiskey being made in Tennes-
see in wildcat stills than there
ever was, and the officers are
reaping a harvest.
Last week they searched To-
cality on mountainside near Shir-
leyton and found where a still
had been located. which is be-
lieved to have been the property
of man named Sanders, of near
Daus, who with nine others was
summoned to appear at Dunlap
Monday. There are reported to
be stills on Walden's Ridge, also.
which are circulating booze in
the valley.
A booze-fest on the mountain
near here about two weeks ago,
caused a complete suspension of
work for the day. and was un-
doubtedly the evil caused by the
work of a wild-catter. II
1t is reported here that whis-
key.lovers are going so far as to
give whiskey to minors in an eff.
fort to keep the evil going. 1t
is against the law to do this, or
to be concerned in anyway with
the handling of the stuff.

hours. Several stops, however,
were made. The last stop be-
fore reaching Whitwell was
made at what isscalled the ''turn-
back" on the mountain road about
one mile from valley pike. Here
the cars were met by a number
of citizens, among them being
W. A. Cantrell, eXsheriff. of
Marion. Bert Palmer, L. l..
Farmer, a leading merchant of
Whitwell, Oscar Dykes. cashier
of the Bank of Whitwell, Asa
Layne, Gilbert Pryor, late from

Sharpe, Of Jasper, Marion Coun-.
ty Road Supervisor; r. E. Alley,
leading merchant of Whitwell
and Jasper. Henry S. Layne,
leading merchant of Whitwell,
and L. H. Grayson, leading
merchant to Whitwell.
The parties met at the turn
back" a point about a mile up
the mountain, and a general
determination ensued, the bunch
being about as strenuous a lot of
road enthusiasts as could be Sc
cured.
