00 3 10 THE GAINESVILLE SUN: JULY 5. 1909 PROHIBITION IS NOW ON IN OLD TENNESSEE Last Night of Open Saloons Marked By Scenes of Hilarity Throughout the Entire State. MEMPHIS, July in eburch and town clock steeples toll8 the midnight hour last night marked the passing of saloons in Tennesfor at that hour the Holladay State-wide prohibition law went into effect. This law makes it illegal to seil alcoholic beverages within four miles of any school house in the State. Only two oases are left in all Tennessee.

Both are within twelve miles of Memphis, near the Mississippi State line. The nearest school house is six miles from both of these points, but steps have already been taken by white ribboners to have the county board of education erect a school house within the distance prescribed by the Holladay bill, so that there will be no Mecca in the tire State for thirsty pilgrims. Thousands of men are thrown out of employment and barkeepers are seeking better irrigated fields. The passing of the saloon in Memphis and in other cities throughout the State, according to advices received, was marked by scenes of unusual hilarity. The celebration started early and lasted until the moment of closing, when there was a rush to purchase one last farewell drink over the bar.

Grog shops were crowded with lively revelers. Extra police precautions were taken in Memphis, 'Mayor Maloney instructing the chief of police to detail a patrolman to every block wherein was situated a But it was in the main a good-natured throng that indulged in a farewell revelry. While this good fellowship of tipplers was in progress prohibitionists held meetings of rejoicing. Prayers were offered and hymns were sung in the homes of the leading teetotalers, although no public meetings were held at any of the churches. Many were of the opinion, and some still are, that with the passing of the open saloon would come a reign of "blind tigers" and social clubs where it would be possible for boozers to assuage alcoholic thirst, but Mayor Maloney declared his intention of enforcing the law throughout the city and State officers say they will do the same in every county.

CHATTANOOGA. July Tne excise law of this city made prohibition effective here two hours ahead of the requirement of the State-wide status. So far as reported, every saloon in the city obeyed Chattanooga's 10 o'clock closing ordinance with the same good grace that the State law was obeyed. The day and night resembled a holiday, the streets being lined with people who displayed the best of humor throughout the day. Sixty-seven retail houses and thirty.

three wholesale concerns are closed in this city. January 1, 1910, five distilleries and one brewery will have to cease business here. A number of locker clubs are be. ing organized with several already in operation. Keep your eye on the want ads.

From Friday's Daily Sun. The red bugs have already made their appearance in the cotton fields of the Alachua section, and they will prove very dangerous to the crop ullless exterminated. c.

W. Wells, who has joined the army of successful planters of that section, stated to a Sun man Thurs: day that they had invaded a great many of the larger fields, and unless some steps were taken at once they would ruin all of the cotton fields of that section. He himself has some seventy five acres that is not bothered with the bugs, but if they do take to the place he will endeavor to rid them with some insecticide, which he believes all planters should do and exterminate them from the section altogether. The red bug is one of the worst enemies of the cotton grower, and when he has once entered the field and stained the cotton it falls off in price fully 50 per cent. A number of fields that are clean of the insects are certainly promising.

and never were better prospects for an enormous yield, the rains having been sufficient during the past few weeks to make it grow nicely. Alachua is the banner cotton sec. tion of not only the State, but of this part of the country, for more cotton is grown and shipped from that point than any other, and what effects the farmer's interest there is felt to considerable extent all over the country. During the season there are three ginneries operated there, and part of the time they are compelled to run night and day to keep up with the supply being hauled to that place.

Wats a visitor here yesterday. He states that the heavy rain on the peaches in the orchard will prove a detriment to them, for it has caused a great many to fall, which will make them useless for shipping purposes. The crop had about been exhausted, ever, and the next peaches we will have here will be the Georgia peach. but the scarcity and demand for this fruit this season will make them rather expensive.
