DISPENSARY FOR ARLINGTON.
Town Council Thinkisg of Takisf Steps to
EstabHsk Under Charter Rights.
For a while it seemed that the
liquor people of Arlington were
doomed to defeat in their effort
to sell whiskey in Arlington, but
at present they are highly elated
over a new “pint” they have dis¬
covered in the local option law,
which, connected with a decision
of the supreme court about last
September, will, they think, en¬
title them to open up a whiskey
shop in Arlington in the form of
a dispengary.
The town eouneil discussed the
subject in full at their regular
meeting last Tuesday night and
so firm are they impressed with
the belief that the dispensary can
be established here that they en¬
gaged legal counsel to investigate
and advise them at their next
meeting.
Since the subject hae been up,
we have heard several lawyers ex¬
press themselves, and all sestn to
agree that- the dispensary can be
opened up and operated without
interference.
The council’s idea is conveyed
to them from the expe.ience the
dispensary at Camilla has had
within ths past twelve months.
As we understaad, the prohibi¬
tionists of Mitchell county applied
to Judge W. N. Spence for an in
junctioa to hava the dispensary
closed. Judge Spence granted
the injunction, but Col. Sam
Bennett, a promiaewt lawer of
Camilla, was employed by the
antis, and hr appealed to the
supreme court, and this honorable
court reversed the action of Judge
Spence, on the grounds that the
charter of Camilla gives them the
right to control the sale of whiskey
and that this right has nothing
to do with the local option law.
Since this decision the dispensary
has been operating witheut inter¬
ference. We understaad that the
dispensary at Pelham is operating
undertheir charter and that no
attempt has been made to stop it.
If Col. Sam Bennett is correct
in his argument, and the supreme
court holds that ho is correct, any
town in the state can operate a
dispensary where their charter
grants them the right to control
the sale of whiskey in the town.
The action of the Arlington
council will be watched with
interest.
Agent S. H. Stanley and clerks
M. A. and R. D. Thomas have
