MEMPHIS NEGROES ARE
CAUGHT WITH FAKE BOOZE

One hundred and forty-four quarts
of booze, minus the punch" was
the haul Of Deputy S. L. Delaney
when he stopped an automobile near
Mason Saturday afternoon. Three
negroes-Jim Mays and John Henry
Brown, of Memphis, and Harvey Mac
lin, of Keeling-were the occupants
of the car, and they were placed I'M
der arrest.
They were released, however, when
the deputy examined his catch and
discovered that the bottles contained
only sickeningly sweetish decoction
of molasses, water and other ingredi-
ents, mixed together so as to obtain
good iquory color The bottles
were sealed with government revenue
stamps and bore the labels of a more
or less popular brand Of bottled
goods,
The Memphis negroes claimed that
they were taking the imitation to
Keeling from Memphis for the third
negro, Maclin. The decoction WEI
placed in the county jail here along
with other recent catches.

IN MEMORY OF COLLIDE

On July 8, 1919, there was a va
cancy that never can be filled in home
or school again, when the death an
gel came and took away our little
Goldie Combes.
We, as school, had learned to
love her, as she was always so pa
tient and kind. She was only 10
years, seven months and ~ days old
at the time of her death. She was
dear, bright little girl, and always
had a smile for everybody. We will
miss her when we 60 into school,
and will often can her name, but she
will not be missed there half as much
as at home. But we are sure she
has gone to a better home than any
of us have, and we hope some day
to meet her.
AS a child and daughter, Goldie
was always obedient, kind and
thoughtful. Her mother always found
true, loving daughter. AS sister
she was kind and always ready to
do anything she was asked, land new
er refused to do what she could for
others.
Dark is the room, and empty is the
chair;
Home is not home, for Goldie is not
there.
We loved her SO well, but God loved
her more,
And took her home to the other
bright shore.
Well, go, our dear Goldie; the con-
flict is Ger.
Our pleas are all selfish; we urge
them no more.
Farewell, then; farewell, till we
meet at the throne
Where life fears no parting, and
tears are unknown.

DEHYDRATING PLANT NOW
OPERATING AT HUMBOLDT

1t is planned by the management
to start the operation Of the dehy-
drafting plant next Monday, barring
unforeseen troubles and delays.
The Courier Chronicle man paid a
visit to the plant Tuesday and found
that everything practically in read
mess for operation as far as the fac
tory itself is concerned, the delay
being occasioned by some work yet
to be done at the city electrical
power station before the needed cur
rent can be furnished.
The dehydrating plant has large
boiler capacity, but all the steam is
to be used for heating purposes, and
the power for driving the machinery
will be furnished by the city power
station, $50 horsepower motor be-
ing used.
The dehydrating will be done by
a process of passing the trays con-
tanning the products through series
of super-heated galleries, where it
will be thoroughly dried. Immense
fans will drive hot air through the
dryers and the drying articles will
slowly pass through the galleries and
out the remote end, in continuous
way.
The plant is equipped with lot
of the most modern machinery for
cleaning and cutting the vegetables
previous to the drying process. Great
steam cookers will cook some of the
vegetables before they are dried.
The plant throughout is neat and
clean in every way, and is so arrang-
ed that it may be easily kept clean

After two and three-quarters beer
had been bowled over by a record
vote Of 151 to 90-and this was about
the relative division on all amend
ments-the prohibitionists went after
another amendment by Representative
Igoe, Democrat, Missouri, which
would have stricken out all definition
Of intoxicants, killing the proposal,
1913 to So.
There was the utmost confusion al
times, despite vigorous whacks with
a gavel, and some of the prohibition
leaders applauded every move in their
favor The galleries, filled largely
with women and officers Of the anti
liquor organizations, broke into APP
plause when the House roared its dis
approval of two and three quarters
per cent beer.
And then, when it seemed the ma.
jority was weary of voting down ev-
cry proposal by the other side, points
Of order were raised, and some mo-
tons, designed to make the law less
drastic, were picked up by the nape
Of the neck, as members expressed
it, and bodily thrown out. This hap
pened to an amendment by Represent
ative Lea, Democrat, California, in
the interest of grape growers, who
stood to lose $12,000,000 this year,
he said. 1t provided for the manu-
facture of wine containing II per
cent alcohol by weight. A point of
order against it was sustained by
the chair,
There We're points of order on
other proposals, but the one by Rep
pesentative Pell, Democrat, New
York, which would put determine
ton Of intoxicating qualities of GER
tain beverages up to a jury, was ruled
in order, only to be knocked out on
an aye and nay vote, a division, and
again after the call for tellers and
the slow march of members through
the center aisle of the chamber to be
counted, This was the usual pro-
ceeding, the vets being able to mus
ter enough Of their members to sup
port the demand.
When the House got through with
the jury proposal it went after an
amendment by REPRESENTATIVE Long
worth, Republican, of Ohio, to strike
out the whole of the first section of
the the war time enforcement bill,
with it's one-half of one per cent al
coholic definition. In offering the
amendment Mr.. Longworth frankly
told the House that if it got by he
would move to strike out the whole
war time title, so like a man who
wanted to save himself a second job,
the House defeated it.
Two minor amendments ran the
blockade, one being passed on a rec
ord vote when the forces split to such
an extent that Chairman Volstead, of
the judiciary committee, leader Of
the prohibition fight, was counted
with leaders of the minority, This
was an amendment by Representative
Benson, Democrat, Maryland, to
change the word "liquors" to "bev-
erages." It seemed small matter,
some members said, but they contend

HOUSE DECISlVELY
DEFEATS z ga BEER
DRYS EASILY CONTROL DEFEAT
or MEASURE
Vote Against Beer Bill Is Isl to 80
IN House-Speakers Became Bitter
in Characterization at Times In
controllable.

Washington, July l4,-Prohibitior
forces took full control in the House
today, refused to permit vote on q
straight out motion to repeal the wan
time act, defeated overwhelmingly
an amendment providing for the sale
Of 2 3-4 per cent beer, and stood sol
idly against all attacks on the gen.
eral enforcement measure.
Just as fast as a "liberal" amend
ment was offered by opponents OF
prohibition it was voted down without
ceremony, always by a triple vote,
for the minority, fighting every inch
of ground, demanded a division after
the ayes and nays were called, and
then asked for tellers. Before the
House got through with the first
section Of the first part Of the three
part bill there was more disorder on
the floor than at any time this ses-
sion.
The disturbance arose first during
an attempt by Representative Blan-
ton, Democrat, Texas, to speak sec
ond time against an amendment which
would have given a jury the right
to define intoxicants, and was in
creased during an address by Repre-
sentative Gallivan, Democrat, Massa-
chusetts, who declared members vot-
ing "dry" should print in the congress
sional record exactly how much Ii
quor they had stored in their homes
and offices.
The real battle Of the day, how
ever, was over the amendment to de-
fine an intoxicant as a beverage con-
tanning more than two and three-quar-
tiers per cent alcohol, instead of more
than one-half of one per cent, as
written in the bill. Representative
Dyer, Republican, Missouri, author of
the amendment, did not ask for this
definition in the constitutional prohi-
bition amendment. but simply in the
war time law. In pleading for it's
adoption, Mr.. Dyer declared it was
what President Wilson had recon-
mended to Congress and would permit
during the remaining period of war
time prohibition the sale of light
WINES anu peer anu might QSldy IS
suance of a proclamation by the pres-
ident, which would restore the sale of
"hard liquors"
There was a round Of speechmaking
on this resolution, with the "drys" as
sailing it as an entering wedge and
the "wets" asserting that it would
merely permit the very thing the
president, as commander-in-chief of
the army, had said was best for the
country for the next six months.

The Baptists of the south, through
their 1920 delegates attending a con
vention in Atlanta a few weeks ago,
have pledged themselves to raise in
cash and subscriptions S75,000,000l
for missions, education and benevo-
lences, in a great eight-day drive at
a date yet to be set.
An organization has already been
effected, and committees are busy
preparing to launch the drive. The
$75,000,000 has been apportioned
among the various states in the south
in proportion to the financial
strength of Baptists therein. Tennes-
