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. The

leed to make this an absolutely dry
