the proprictors of the restaurants feel
justified in paying salary TO a man
whose sole duty it is to look after over.

downtown that men lose their ordinary

meals abscntly. They are intent upon
some lirotty problem OF business, and
are in u hurry to lnish their meal and

LOCAL OPTION In VIRGINIA.-SeV-
eral recent elections in Virginia, indi.
cate a growth of sentiment against
licenses to sell liquor. In Pulaski
City, one of the rapidly growing towns
of Southwestern Virginia, after Wig
OrOus contest, the opponents Of license
won by a vote of about two to one
In Staunton the advocates of license
won by the narrow majority of ninety
two on the largest vote ever cast in the
city, but this did not discourage the
opponents of of license, who went to
work and carried the three districts of
Augusta county, in which local option
elections were held last Saturday. The
aggregate majority in these districts
was SIT, the majority in Beverly Ma
nor district, which adjOins StauntOn,
being $50 out of a total vote of S12.
These figures indicate an Overwhelm-
ing sentiment in Augusta county
against the sale of liquor. This senti-
ment is doubtless the OutgrOwth of the
impression that to the sale Of liquor is
due the Generalization and increasing
worthlessness of farm labor. The
sentiment has caused the triumph of
prohibition in most of the counties of
Georgia, and which is also making
Roadway in other Southern States
