ALL STATE LAWS PERMITTING
SALE OF "HIGHER CONTENTS-NULLIFIED.
THREE MONTHSJIGHT ENDED
AH Contention .of Wet Forces Swept
Aside on Broad Ground That Constl-
. tutional Amendment Had Been Le
gally Ratified.
(By. United Press.)
(From Monday's Daily Herald.)
WASHINGTON. June 7 The su
preme court of the United States to
day upheld constitutional prohibition.
The decision handed down by the su
preme court. held the amendment to
the constitution Valid, and the Vol
stead act enforcing prohibition means
that the sale of any beverage contain
ing more than one half of one per
cent of alcohol will not be permitted,
and the law enforced to the letter In
every state, 'regardless of whether or
not the state ratified the amendment
or not.
The decision of the court nullified
all state laws permitting the sale of
beer and light wines, and other bever
ages containing more than one-half
of one per tent alcohol, and dispels the
hope of the brewing interests that
their property might be used for the
manufacture of beer, thus eliminating
losses due to prohibition.
The decree was rendered after three
months of 'legal attacks by the liquor
forces of the wet states, and was a
complete victory for the federal gov
ernment All contentions of the most
skilled lawyers retained by the wets
were swept aside on the broad grounds
that the amendment had been legal
ly ratified, and that the states in so
doing It had given congress the power
to enact the Volstead law.
The constltntfonality of the amend
ment was based on general princi
ples laid down by Justice Marshall
more than 100 years ago, that where
state laws conflict with the federal
laws, the federal law Is snpreme.
A blanket decision was rendered
In the seven suits. The court consid
ered all contention of the wet forces
in detail, and then declared there
was no legal foundation for them.
Chief Justice White said that he re
gretted that the court had not seen
fit to outline the steps that led to the
decision. Justice McReynolds made
it clear that he did not dissent from
the opinion, but indicated that he did
not believe the time to be ripe for this
sweeping decision. Justice McKenna
said he dissented in one case, but he
made it clear that he ehared in the
general opinion.

MORTGAGE TAX
FROM RAILROAD
EXCEEDS RECORD
TWELVE HUNDRED DOLLARS COL
LECTED BY THE STATE ON
A SIGLE INSTRUMENT.
WAS ALSO LONGEST DOCUMENT
Took a Whole Day of Depgty Regis
ter Pogue's Time to Place It On the
Books Made to the Nashville Trust
Co. as Trustee.
(From Tuesday'3 Daily Hera!d.)
All former records fof collections
of fees on mortgages in this county
were broken when County Court Clerk
Archibald W. Lipscomb collected $!,
200 for the state on the mortgage
filed by the Middle Tennessee Rail
road Company to the Nashville Trust
Company. This mortgage is for $1,
200,000 and is for the largest sum of
any that has been recorded since the
mortgage tax was imposed.
It is the largest and longest mort
gage that Register Pogue has had
since his induction into office. Ha
collected the largest fee for record
ing it that he has had. It required a
hard day's work for Deputy Register
Pogue with his machine to put it on
the books. It was likewise a profita
ble instrument to Clerk Lipscomb
whose fee was only fifteen cents, but
since he gets 2Vi per cent commis
sion on all collections, the document
really netted him some thirty dollars.
May was the first month since the
mortgage tax law went into effect that
the mortgage taxes exceeded those
collected from the straight transfers
f real estate. But during that mouth
not les3 than $l,2Sr, was collected in
mortgage taxes. The largest mort
gage recorded during the month ex
cept the railroad mortgage was for
$10,000.

ROAD HOGS MAY
CAUSE ACCIDENTS
FAILURE TO DIM LIGHTS ON AU
TOMOBILES MAY BE RESPON
. SIBLE FOR DEATH.
Several near serious accidents have
been caused in and around Columbia
by the failure of "road hogs" to dim
lights on their automobiles when
meeting a car. The light is thrown
directly into the eyes of the driver of
the approaching car, and as a result
he is blinded and does not know which
way to turn to keep from danger. Only
a few nights ago a serious accident
was averted in the city by the failure
of the driver of a high powered car
to dim his lights.
Practically all cars are equipped
with dimmers, and the law requires
that they be used. Even if the law did
not require the use of dimmers, the
use of rodinary courtesy would. The
term "road hog" Is applied by decent
motorists to those who fail to dim
their lights as they should.

CHILDREN ATTEND SCHOOL
Make Splendid Grades In City Schools,
Youngest Are Given Instruction at
Home Many Substantial Donations
by Friends of Institution.
(From Wednesday's Daily Herald.)
The report of John W. Fry, treas
urer of the Tennessee Orphan Home,
read at the annual meeting of direc
tors, held Tuesday shows the follow
ing facts: On May 31 there were in
the home 62 children, including the
forty-six in the home on November 1,
1917. The hew management has car
ed for up until the present time 201
children.
Seventy-six children were carried
through the winter. During the win
ter there were several cases of serious
sickness, but none resulted fatally.
The King's Daughters hospital has
cared for a number of these cases,
and successful operations have been
performed by local surgeons. Dr. 3.
T. Hardison, of Columbia, one of the
directors of the institution has also
come to Columbia on several occa
sions to make special examinations.
Report of health conditions says: "So
far as medical and surgical attention
as well as nursing and caring for sick
children, the services of the home
have been 100 per cent efficient."
It is shown by the report that more
than one-half of the children in the
home are of school age. Some of
them attend the city schools, but the
younger ones are Instructed by the
ladies of the institution. Those who
have attended the city schools have
made excellent grades and progress. 1
The management shows that separa j
tion of children from their parents is j
discouraged, and the report urges that
the churches and good people of the
community should keep mother and
children together. In the home are
some children who have one parent
living, but such parents, where finan
cially and physically able are paying
the cost of the child's maintenance.
It is with pride that the Institution
potats to the fact that no destitute
child, or deserving case has ever been
tarried away from the bone.
"
The financial report on the institu
tion shows the value of the. home
building to be! $17,000, furniture aid
fixtures to be' $1,622.28. Improve
ments on the home this year have :
cost $679.66. The- bpme also , owns ,
United States war bonds and war
savings, stamps par ", value $6,626,
which cost the sum of $6,225.05.
Through the efforts of interested
brethren quite a large number of mijjc
cows and other live stock has been
added.
The conclusion of the report con
tains the following recommendation t
The following resolution vaa unan
imously passed by the executive com
mittee relative to the J. H. Courtney,
deceased, bequest: t , -
"Whereas, Hon.' J. H. . Courtney," a
citizen of Maury county, Tennessee,
and at one time a member of the leg
islature from this county, a man , of
high ideals, a member of the Presby
terian church, died without heirs and
left a will, giving to the Tennessee
Orphan Home one-fourth of his estate,
after his debts were paid, and certain
special bequests satisfied.
"Now, therefore, be it resolved by
the executive committee of Tennessee
Orphan Home that we recommend tp
the board of directors of eaid home
at the next meeting that the J. ft.
Courtney fund be kept in tact as long
as it is possible to do so, as a memo
rial fund, to be known as the J. H.
Courtney Memorial Fund, and that the
income be used by the Tennessee Or
phan Home to develop children and a v
record kept of such children that mty
be benefitted by the J. H. Courtney
Memorial Fund and that tbe same be
published annually."
Now, it is the Judgment of your
treasurer, as well as that of many eth
ers with whom he has conferred, that'
if the Tennessee Orphan Home will
adopt the plan of carrying memorial
funds In separate accounts by aggre
gating an endowment futfd, there will'V
be many other wills made, giving la
the home amounts sufficient that the
interest will benefit many children.
