Poor whiskv promotes murder

The wholesale liquor dealers and
distillers can best cooperate with the
Ministerial association in the crusade
against murder by ceasing to supply
"the few disreputable saloons" with
blends and concoctions labeled pure
old Kentucky whisky" but which, in
fact, are villainous mixtures that
might well be warranted to produce
homicide and all other crimes.

One of the most touching incidents
of the return of Lafayette TO Virginia
was his call upon jefferson at Mon
