Prohibition went into effect in
Charlotte Saturday evening and
in speaking of the fact the Char
lotte News, says:
The rush all day long was un-
precedented, and when the clos
ing hour came saloon shelves were
bare and barrels empty. The
orders from private parties were
greater in volume than those from
the saloons steady customers.
But seriously, is this prohibit
ton? Doesn't this merely mean
that the stock of beverages car-
ried by the saloon folks has simp-
ly been transferred from the bars
to the homes of the citizens?
Doesn't it indicate that the public
sentiment that would make pro-
hibitlon a thing to be desired is
lacking and that a mere farce is
being transacted?
