Nashville Citizen Made an I'm.
presssive Address Il Last
Weeks Niessing

w. r. Manier. secretary Of the
Commercial Club Of Nashville
made az impressive address before
the Huntington chamber of COM
merce Thursday evening at the
courthouse. He urged that the
local organization be wider in its
scope; that it should include the
business men and farmers Of the
county. since this was essentially
an agricultural community; that
whatever served the business inter-
ests OF the one, naturally served
the interest Of the other. He
argued that it behooved the town
to offer inducements to farmers ID
providing q marketing place for
products, rest rooms for women
and children, and a parking place
for conveyance and teams.
Mr.. Manner gave many figures
on the products of the county and
urged greater development Of

and better than the famous Smith
field hams of Virginia, but we're
not so we'll known or marketable

that only that kind succeeded

request of Mr. Medearis, presi-

QUESTION THRUST
upon DRY OFFICERS
Attorney General Palmer's Opin-
ion Taxes the Judgment of
Commissioner Kramer

Is four cases of beer a month
too much or too little for the sick9
Prohibition Commissioner Kra-
mer is wrestling with this question.
And should aiIing persons,
armed with prescriptions, be
allowed to walk into drug stores,
get beer and drink it on the prem
isesY
That's another phase of the new
beer problem thrust upon dry en-
fOrcement.
Kramer finds these queries up
for decision along with host of
others as a result of the Palmer
option which strapped" the
bureaus rules.
The dry chief and his helpers
fear that the demand for beer and
wine will fairly swamp the drug
stores with business.
They feel empowered to place
some limit of beer and wine each
prescription calls for, but no effort
will be made to limit the number
of prescriptions a doctor may
issue in any given case of a patient
under treatment.
In any event it is figured four
cases a month should be the
maximum.
