The temperance Cause I'm tlae
South.

The temperance question is claim
ing the attention OF all classes OF peo-
pie in the Southern States, and is
making excellent progress in nearly
all parts OF the South. The sentiment
for the prohibition OF the traffic is,
however, far in advance OF that for to-
tai abstinence. The Legislatures Of
all the Southern States, with the OK
ception ofthat OF Virginia, have adop-
tsd che policy of local option or local
prohibition, and have allowed the peo-
pie of many localities 70 vote directly
upon the question OF license or no IL
cense, while in other cases they have
adopted absolute prohibitory laws for
small sections of the country when re-
quested by such communities, 80 that
nearly il not one-half the territory
south Of Virginia is now under prohi-
bition. This does not include any
large city and but few large towns
vet it embraces wide range of terri
tory, which challenges attention and
gives abundant evidence OF the bless
ings Of prohibition, and the prosperity
and thrift Of the people, who are rid o.
the bEghting effects OF the drink-traff'
ic. Georgia has ninety-fve out of one
hundred and thirty-four counties i'm

majority Of qualified voters OF the pre-

Legislature adopted constitutional
amendment, which must receive {
two.thirds vote OF the next Legislature

Kentucky has over five hundred mum
icipalities and number of entire
counties without saloon. Mississip
nj has more than third OF the terri
tory free, and it is fast moving on II
absolute prohibition. But one Stat
has a local option law, and no Stat
