SELLER MAY BE PROSECUTED
Prescription Musi be Given byj
Regular Practicing Physician, !
Some time ago the question arose
in this county as to whether a teller
of whiskey on prescription in a
local option district would he held
amenable to the law for making a
sale ori auy kind of a prescription.
County Attorney Bowd Farrar wan
asked for an opinion in the matter
and he held that the prescription
must be given by a regular practic
ing physician, dated and signed by
him, and stating on his honor that
he had personally examined the
applicant In order to satisfy him
self he was correct In his under
standing of the law as construed by
the court of court of criminal ap
peals, in the Stephens case, Mr..
Farrar addressed an inquiry to the
attorney general in regard to the
matter. A few days atro Mr. Farrar
rejeired the fallowing letter from
the attorney general's office, which
is giren in full
Austin, Texas., Hept. 4, liMti.—
Bowd Karrar, County Attorney,
Waxahachie, Tex,—Dear 8ir
This department is in receipt of
yours of the 2nd inst As I under
stand the opinion of the Court of
ICriminal Appeals in the Stephens
c»|f, it simply holds that the legis
lature has no constitutional authori
ty to pass a law punishing physi
cians for the act of riving a pre
scription in a local option district
to any person to obtain intoxicating
liquor except upon personal exami
nation and to a person actually sick.
In other words, the decision applies
entirely to article 4U"> of the penal
(.'ode. which ha* been amended
by chapter 40, act* of the UMth legis
lature, pa*re 57. This does "not, 1
think, affect at all the provisions of
article ."·<».ί, which deals entirely with
persons selling the intoxicants.
The decision hold» that a physi
cian who gives such a prescription
without personal examination, or to
a person who is nM a-ttially sick
for the purpose of enabling him to
procure Intoxicating liquor, wl,lie he
cannot be proceeded against crlmi·
η all y for the act of giving the près· rip
lion he cau be prosecuted and con ν ic
ted as a principal to the uni »w ful sale
of such intoxicant Article 40't, I
think, is not affected by this decis
ion, and it is, notwithstanding this
decision, a vi dation of the 1 »w for
any person in a local option district
to st-ll intoxicating liquors except
upon tiie prescription of a regular
practicing ph> sician, dated and sign
ed by him. and certified on hi· honor
that he the pl ysician has personal
ly examined the applicant, naming
him, and that he fiuds him actually
tick and in need of the stimulant
prescribed as a medicine.
NVhiie the physician cannot be
punished for the act of giving a pre
scription without personal examina
tion, or to a person not actually
sick and needinir the intoxicant a- a
medicine, the seller can be punish
ed for making the sale, unleKs up in
such prescription as is prescribed in
article JUi. A prescription not hav
! ing these requisites would not, 1
! think, protect the seller.
Very respectfully,
T. 8. Rk* ,

Walter Bandy and His "Success"
Waiter Bundy is working for the
Success Company to secure a schol-j
atship in Trinity 1'niversity. Wal
ter in one of Trinity's finest students
and last year he not only inade the
support of himself and his mother,
hut we learn from President Kirkes
that he made the ^highest grades jn
his classes in the University and
bears the reputation with the stu
dents of being one of the best in the j
oratorical society. His christian !
and moral character is unimpeach- !
able. We predict for Waiter a bril- ■
liant future and the Success people
are fortunate iu securing him as
their a»jent. By the way, the Suc-1
cess is a splendid periodical to be
in everybody's home and is only
#1.00 per year. Give Walter your
subscription and help him -get his
scholars).ip and Rive yourself a good ;
paper besides. The best charity is j
helping others to help themselves.
Clear Out (he Loafers.
Ther* are quite a number of ne
groes loafing about the city that
should be given orders to move on
or «et to work. This morning thir
ty-eight idle negroes were counted
on the west side of the ctfurt house
lawn, and the walk on that side was
so crowded with them that a person
passing that way must needs violate
the injunction "keep ofT the grass"
or ifet into the street. We have
calleci attention to this once before,
but seemingly to no effect. Several
citizens have reported to this office]
offers of work to these idlers have
been refused. A few days ago two
white boys were taken into custody
for beiiiçinii a meal, and at the same
time there were numbers of idle,
shiftless negroes in the city doing
nothing, living doubtless off the la
bors of their women. The cotton
fields are Retting white, labor is be
ιηκ sought and these idlers should
be male to understand that they
must either tro to work or move.

Railroad Construction.
In no other country in the sojith is
railroad construction being pusl.ed
with the vigor that is sh >wn m Ok
lahoma ami the Indian Territory.
This is evinced by the fact tl.at con
struction work being pushed
everywhere in that country and
nothing is bfing omitted that will
hasten the completion of new Iin»-s
now under construction.
Rush orders have been given on
the Muskogee Union railroad, build- ;
ing north out of Muskogee. The!
grade is nearly completed from
Mutkogee to tlx· Verdigris river
crotting, and a temporary bridge is
being put in this week across the
Arkansas riv»*r and trains will s<>on
b»· running from h alls City to the
Missouri Pacific tο Mutkogee. The
new road is to connect Mutkogee
with the Mittouri Pacific railroad.
It is said the Missoun Pacific con
templates putting on a flyer from
Kansas Citv to Memphis and St.
Louie, hv the way of Fort Smith
and Little Hock. It is understood
that the flyer ι» to he called "The
Waggoner Limited." The service
on the Mutkoge·» I'nion railroad
will give a tervice on this fast trai:
as well as the regular patseng··!
trains now running aud will be a
competitor to some extent to the
Κ at y flyer.
