a good idea for the prohibitionist to
get busy and have a law Gnacted
by the congress of the United
States forbidding a license to be

a license for. that privilege, the lo
cal authority, in the place where

As is well known Georgia led the
prohibition movement, her state-wide
law going into effect Jan. 1st, 1008.
Alabama, Mississippi and North
Carolina followed, statutory prohibi
tion becoming effective Jan. 1st, 1909.
Tennessee came next, their state
wide law to become effective July 1st,
1909.
In Kentucky, out of 11!) counties 90
are now dry, 13 have saloons in one
town only; 4 have them at three
towns; 2 at two places, and the re
maining 4 have nil the county under
prohibition outside Ike incorporated
towns. A state-wide law is hoped for
soon.
Louisana has 33 out of her 59 parish
es entirely dry, besides much territory
in tiie remaining 20 under prohibition
lav/. The parishes are voting dry as
fast as elections are called. The legis
lature of 1908 failed to pass a state-wide
law, substituting a stringent restrictive
measure. Petitions are now being
circulated asking the legislature of
1910 to submit to to the people a prohi
bition amendment to the constitution.
All but ten of Florida counties aie
dry—36 out of 46. The only wet places
are 16 cities and tiie number of
saloons is them is 324. Tiie legislat ure
which meets hi April is by a large
majority plodged to submit a constitu
tional prohibition amendment to a vote
of the people. This vote cannot be
taken until 1910, but when it is prohi
bition is practically certain to win.
In Texas, out of a total of 246 coun
ties, 157 are dry, 66 partially so, and
23totally wet. Jn the democratic pri
maries of 1908, a majority voted to
submit a constitutional prohibition
amendment to the people, but when
the legislature met a vote for ‘’submis
sion” failled *o pass by a narrow
margin. It had a majority but failed
to get the two-thirds majority re
quired.
Boulh Carolina lias 21 of her 42
counties under prohibition, while tiie
remainder have dispensaries only in
the larger cities, and most of them
only at the county seat. A bill for
statutory prohibition lias passed the
house, but lias been defeated in the
senate and a compromise reached by
which the vote for state-wide prohibi
tion will be thrown back upon the
counties ufter a two week’s trial of
prohibition in August next. Tho dry
counties may then vote the dispensaries
bach if they chose, but South Carolina
prohibitionists ars confident that tiie
result will be for state-wide.
