State-Wide Prohibition Oeieated For the second time in its long and honorable history the Senate of Virginia was called upon last Saturday to pass upon the wisdom and constutionality of submitting to a popular referendum the question of State-wide prohibition, and for the second time, speaking through the majority, it answered, "No." Like the negative that fell to the lot of the Strode bill in 1910, the one Saturday was in no uncertain terms. Of the thirty-eight Senators voting, twenty-three went on record as opposing the Jordan bill, which had passed the lower house by a vote of 80 to 30, while fifteen registered their votes in favor ot its enactment into law. This action by the Senate has settled a much agitated and bitterly fought question in the Old Dominion for the next two years atleast,probably four, as the members of the present State Senate were elected !ast fall for a term of four years. ?n/l oknnl^ f-Vnc nnoetlnn Ko brmiorbt ALllA OllV/UiU VIIIO V| UVUVtVI* MV k/4 vw^itv up in 1914-16 it will most likely meet a similar fate.

The Florence county dispensar\ board, met Tuesday night ami decided to establish a dispensary at I>ake City, which will be opened as soon as stock can be secured. The advocates for a dispensary asserted that "blind tigers" now flourish in the town and that a dispensary will tend to suppress them, it was also argued that men unable to get liquor were drinking more harmful .things, and that the community deI sired the profits arising from a dis pensary. Dr W S Stokes and Rev C C Derrick headed a protesting committee of nine, but the board decided that as a majority of the Lake City people had petitioned for a dispensary, it would be unreasonable to refuse them.
