NEWS FROM WILKINSVILLE. Vox Talks of the Prohibition LawSays a Great Change Has Taken Place Since the Voting Out of the Dispensary. YVilkinbvillk, Dec. 13?As it has been sometime since anything from this section has uppeartd in youi paper, perhaps your readers would like to hear from us and how we are getting along since our county has gone for prohibit ion and got rid of the dispensary. My own observation is that a great change has come over iiur people since the sale of liquor has been stopped in Cherokee county. 1'his is no imagination. Certain it that, if any liquor is now being sold in this county it is on the sly?so sl> hat sober, self-respeeting people don't see any of its ?fleets. Men whose former custom it was to go to own and come intoxicated have quit hat. practice. 1 havo been to the jounty seat, (Gaffeey,) three or four inies since the dispensary was closed ttid I don't remember seeing a drunk nan there ou thu roads either going >r returning. While prohibition carried in the lounty by about, nino to two, I think lie sentiment in favor of temperance s now practically unauimous. A full rote, however, was not polled in the Dispensary o'r No-Dispeusury issue, ind therefore we cannot tell on which ode, (if either.) the<o votes would >tund. But had everyone of these ieen cast against Prohibition, it vould not have changed the result or iefeat.i-d the Prohibition ticket. While a considerable percent, of >ur non-voting population were perlaps patrons of the dispensary and )lmd tigers, yet wo think there is nough of self-respect and patriotism -specially among the young white net.) to give prohibition their moral lupport. In fact, it was J he younger slass of voters that, made the success if the prohibition ticket possible Right now a great many fairly luelligent people uro at sea to km.w uider what forms of law prohibition n Cherokee County is to be enforced, t :s plain enough to our minds thut re nre still living under the same egulations provided for ihe enforcenent of the dispensary Ihw that the iher eouties of ihe Slate have.
