VOL. XXI NO. 45 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. JUSTICE-PONDER.

ONE DOLLAR A YEAR 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.
