North Carolina was carried for State prohibition today by a majority. that is estimated at :rom 40,000 to 42,000 on reports ind estimates received up to midnight. The prohibition ticket las carried 78 out of 98 counties*. jy majorities approximating 18,500. The anti-prohibition :icket has carried twenty counts by majorities approximating 5,600. This calculation is :>ased on estimates, and the Prohibition Leaguers claim it is Dossible for the prohibition maority to reach 50,000. A close istimate of the vote would give i prohibition majority of about 15,000. The election passed off very piietly, no disturbances of any nomeut being reported. The otal vote cast in the State was ibout 17?,000. Gale & Gale Millinery Notes.
