Fire at lo o'clock Monday night

Mr. and Mrs. It. D. Brwln, 508 North

his loss al $7,500 or $8,000, partially

The cause of the tiro is unknown.
Mr. and Mrs. Krwln had been gone
from home about ten minutes, when
neighbors discovered the flames
breaking through the roof at the back
of the building. Mr. and Mra. Brwln
left no lire burning when they left.
They believe the lire was caused from
electric wiring, which probably had
become defective. The lire depart-
ment put up a heroic tight and soon
had the flames under control. Bf-

R. A. McClendon, a successful fnrm-
er of Southeast Collin whose land is
located one mile norlh of Nevada. Is
of the opinion that the 1922 cotton
acreage will about equal the ucreage
of the present year. The prevalence
of boll weevil makes a cotton crop so
uncertain that farmers fear to risk
too much of their land any more in
the fleecy staple. Southeast Collin
Is especially udaptoil to the production
of cotton, corn and onts and feed
crops.
Southeast Collin contains much
valuable, well tilled tarm land and
many highly Improved farms.
Land sells at fancy prlccr. But
with boll worms and weevils destroy-
ing cotton production or. nt least
scrlonsly curtailing It. formers must
turn more of diversified crops and

would undoubtedly result In building

ATTORN 10Y (1KNKRAL ISSPiqN
OPINION ON l>KAN LAW
Austin, Texus, Dec. 12.—The Attor-
ney dene mi's Department In an opin-
ion given today held thut It la atlll
unlawful under the Dean prohibition
act lo transport Intoxicating liquor
whether, for sale or not. The court ol
Criminal Appeuls has held that it la
not an offense under the Dean law to
possess liquor cxccpt for the purpose
of sale. The court, however, has not
held that the transportation of liquor
Is lawful even where It Is not for the
purpose of sale.
The opinion wns given In response
to an inquiry from a (County Attor-
ney, who represented the following
fuels:
"We have a person arrested charged
with violating the prohibition law and
the facts will show that this person
hail gone out of Ills home town in an
nutomohlle ami upon his return he wan
arrested for being intoxicated In a pub-
lic place, iiml upon the examination
of his car two bottles of whiskey were
found with some taken out of one
bottle. It seems from the ' opinion
bunded down by the Courl of Crimi-
nal Appeals the State will not lie ulile
to make out a case. Please udvlse If
the above stale of facts will consti-
tute a criminal ense."
"The fact thai the offender was
intoxicated and the further fact that
one botCc of the liquor was partially
emptied are circumstances whlah
would probably preclude the defend*
ant from proving (hat the liquor waa
transported for a permitted purpose;
In other words, It shows (hnt It wm
transported for beverage purposes,"
the opinion says. "The fact that the
liquor was found In his automobile,
together with the other circumstance*
mentioned all tend to prove* that the
liquor was In fuct, transported for an
unlawful purpose."
