ONLY THREE "WKT." WHOLE SOUTH EXCEPT FLOR1- 1 DA, LOUISIANA AND TEXAS PHY. Dry Forces in Louisiana Preparing to Fight for State-wide Prohibition Hill. 1 Atlanta. Feb. 21.?Into only three c States in the South?Florida, Louisi- ^ ana and Texas?may liquor in any quantity be imported legally for personal use after June 30 next. They g alone have retained local option. Congress by its action in adopting the Reed amendment makes absolute r the State-wide prohibition legislation of Virginia, North Carolina, and ^ South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi. Thus they join the "bone dry" States. Arkansas and Tennessee, which already had enacted statutes forbidding the importa- c tion of liquor. The Florida legislature at its bienI c nial session in April is expected to adopt a resolution providing for a referendum on the State-wide prohi- ^ bition although there are only five c out of 52 counties in the State where liquor can be sold legally. Dry forces in Louisiana are preparing to fight ^ for a State-wide bill at the next sesr sion of the legislature in 1918. About half of the Louisiana parishes are dry under the local option law. Went l>ry in November. ^ Virginia became dry only on No- c vember 1, last, although the people ? had declared for prohibition by 30,- , 000 majority on a referendum in September, 1914. The prohibition law passed by the legislature in Jan- * uary, 1916, permitted every head of r a household to receive a shipment of 1 one quart of whiskey or one gallon c of wine or three gallons of beer a c ~ * e i ?C*l, 6 montn. saie ana mauuiacimc v?imin the State were prohibited.North Carolina became a prohibition State on January 1. 1909, after the people had ratified a State-wide bill by a majority of 44,000 at a referendum election in May, 1908. The legislature passed a law in 1915 permitting any individual to receive one quart of whiskey or wine or five gallons of beer every fifteen days. . South Carolina adopted prohibition by a referendum vote in September, 1915, after having had a dispensary system since 1S91. The law permitted each person to receive a ? gallon of either whiskey or beer or wine a month. Georgia has been classed as a dry State since January 1, 1908, but the prohibition law was not strictly en- 2 forced in some of the cities until May * 1, last, when a drastic law abolishing ^ locker clubs became effective. Under s this law each person was limited to a ; monthly shipment of two quarts of * whiskey, or one gallon of wine, or 1 forty-eight pints of beer. S Under "Dry" Banner. c Alabama enlisted under the prohi- * bition banner in 1915 after several c ineffectual efforts to make the State * dry under the administration of 1 Governor Comer, for 1907-11. The prohibition law permitted a citizen s to receive a shipment of two quarts i of whiskey, two gallons of wine or 1 four dozen bottles of beer every two 1 weeks.- j Mississippi has prohibited the manufacture and sale of liq,uor within its border since 1908 but no limit was set on importation until 1914, when a law passed restricting each $ individual to a shipment of one gal- ? Ion at a time. This law was ineffec- ? tive, as it did not say how often a j, shipment could be received. In 1916 3 a more drastic law was passed mak- e ing it unlawful for any person to re- 1 ceive more than a half gallon of vin- s ous liquor or three gallons of malt- f ed or fermented liquors or one quart t of spirituous liquor within fifteen days. The legislature also passed, s in 1916, an anti-liquor advertising t law. * Arkansas voted for State-wide pro J hibition by 50,000 majority last fall and became the first "bone dry" 1 State in the South. By voting down 1 a repeal act the people ratified a drastic State-wide prohibition law enact- i ed in 1915. 1 Tennessee adopted prohibition in 1 1908, but the law was not enforced in the larger cities until 1915, when l the legislature enacted nuisance and 1 ? . . I ouster laws aimed at city officials ' who failed to enforce the prohibition laws. At a recent session the legis- ] lature passed a "bone dry" bill pro- 1 hibiting the shipment of liquor into J the State after March 1, next. J Maj. W. L. Glaze Dead. \ i Orangeburg, Feb. 25.?Maj.
