LOCAL OPTION
DOING GOOD
Wise County Towns Bene
fitted by Prohibition.

Coeburn, Va, May 19.-Correspon-
dence. 1t affords the writer real pleas
ure TO see the effect of local option
proving up just as he insisted for the
last year that it would. Saturday 10th,
inst. was the first payday since the To-
cll option went into effect. Many
claimed up to Saturday, and suppose
some will argue even yet, that business
Is ruined. But all who have the le.ast
bit OF common sense and honesty will
, be bound TO admit after watching Sat
, urday's business, that the prosperity
of the community is increased at least
twenty-five per cent, and that of the
families directly concerned many hun
dred percent
Some OF the leading merchants OF
Coeburn say that Saturday was the
best day in the history OF their business,
others that it was their best day since
Christmas; and those who have not fig
ured the matter up 50 closely say grnt.
it was an extra good day, and all lxii,.,
that there were M re people in town
from Toms Greek than have been here
since the the distillery was put in
two years ago.
am informed that the Bondtown
merchants claim Saturday was the best
day they ever had in their town;
In the face of such facrs, who, that are
sensible and honest, can stand mp and
say that t'aloons help business.
But this is not the chief argument
in favor Of the emancipation of the
liquor traffic. The moral side Of the
question is of SURPRISING Importance.
to say nothing of the influence in the
homes OF the drunl<rads, that which
come more directly under the observa-
ton of the public was strikingly illus
trated Saturday. Whereas, ordinarily
on pay-days, Bondtown and the roads
between there and Toms Creek were We
ritable pandemonioums of drunkenness
and pistol shooting. People who had
occasion to he on Toms Creek until late
Saturday say that not single drunken
man was 10 be seen; but, instead men
and their wives, loaded with necessaries
and even luxuries, were seen returning
from Coeburn and Bondtown, where
they had been shopping in manner
in which they had not done before in
two years. 1t is no longer dangerous
for ladies TO be out.
In the Coe5urn items last week the
phrase. alt is not possible to construct
liquor law, ETC." should read: "Is il
not possible, etc?"

like to see the public go down after the
federal head of the government via.

coal strike, and let it be provided that
bitters, etc. sold as medicine, should
be analysed by government inspec-

any person who shall offer for sale anv
such bitters, etc, the formula OF which
shall not have been so inspected and
declared non intoxicating, shall be
punished with fine and imprisonment.

Congress could arrange bill to cover

could be made to see that such is the
