TENNESSEE IS GOING DRY
Senata Passes Prohibition Bill by
a Vote of 20 to 13
V Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 12—Ten
nesse is going dry, and the first
formal step in this direction was
taken this afternoon, when the
senate, by a vote of 20 to 13 pass
ed a straight state-wide prohibi
tion bill. The vote was taken
amid dramatic scenes, similar to
to those enacted in Georgia
eighteen months ago, the galler
ies filled with praying, singing,
women.
The vote was three more than
the necessary majority. The bill
will also pass the House, as al
ready more than the necessary
majority have signed agreements
to vote for it. Governor Patter
son yesterday sent a special mes
sage to the legislature condemn
ing prohibition legislation. He
will veto the state wide bill when
it reaches him, but only a major
ity, and not two-thirds, is requir
ed to pass it over his veto, and
the state will, in all probability,
go dry on the first of July. The
hope of the local optionists rested
in the action of the Senate, and
the dry majority was greater
than expected.
The bill passed makes it illegal
to sell liquor within four miles of
a church or school house. Such
a bill is already in effect in the
state and has been declared le
gal. The four cities of Chatta
nooga, Memphis, Nashville and
LaFollett have been by special
provision exempt from the action
of the bill, but of course are in
cluded in the measure that has
- K een passed. A law
against the manufacture of li
quor will later be passed sepa
rately.

Every farmer of this part of
Georgia and the whole state as
for that matter, should make a
resolution and post it in his hat
where he will see it every time
he uncovers his head, that for
this one year he will so diversify
his crops that not one pound of
cotton need be sold to meet the
maintenance of the farm, his
stock, himself or his family.
That he will raise corn to feed
his stock and family and some
to sell. That he will plant peas
and inoculate the soil to insure a
generous growth in such acreage
as will supply all his work stock
and a few milk cows and extra
head of beef cattie, and his meat
and potatoes shall be raised at
home and that he willkeep enough
poultry to take care of the run
ning expenses of the family,
then let him resolve to plant only
so much cotton as he can proper
ly prepare the soil for and culti
vate.

SIX NIGHT RIDERS
DOOMED TO DEATH
Union City, Tenn., January 9.
Without a tremor, six men of the
Reelfoot Lake heard judgment
passed today, condemning them
to pay, with their lives, the penal
ty for the part they were con
victed of having had in the put
ting to death of Captain Quentin
Rankin, at Walnut Log, the deed
of a band of so-called night
riders, of which the six men
were declared to be the leaders.
Whatever may have been their
emotion, they faced the court to
receive sentence with the same
stoic expression as has been
their marked characteristic dur
ing the sensational trial, of which
today was the climax.
When court convened shortly
after noon the room was crowded,
largely with people from the lake.
With small ceremony, as antici
pated, the motion of the defense
asking a new trial was overruled
by Judge Jones.
Then, amid a death like quiet,
the six men, Garrett Johnson,
Sam Applewhite, Tid Burton,
Roy Ransom, Arthur Cloar and
Fred Pinion, convicted of mur
der in the first degree, each, in
their turn, faced Judge Jones to
hear the mandate of the court,
andlFriday, February 19, set for
the dfjy of their execution.
An appeal has been taken to
the supreme court, where the
legal strife, will be just as vigor
ous as during the trial just end
ed. The other of the men, Bud
Morris and Bob Huffman, found
guilty of murder in the second
degree, received the sentence
named by the jury, twenty years
in the penitentiary.
