The Liquor Laws OF Virginia.
Virginia E,yo bcl love, has d system which
permits counties to choose between the
dispensary, license or prohlbition''---N>eW
York Evening Post. al =; sss NJ 4: ss 4 5.
Virginia has local option IN perfection.
Under our law, whenever such Of the ,'t
qualified voters Of each ma sisterial dis
trlct in county or Of any ma glsterial
district In a county, or OF aec1tty y as
shall DO equal IN number to one. fourth " r'
Of the number Of persons voting at the
preceding regular November election,
shall petition the judge Of the court 'l ( u
proper Jurisdiction to order an election =
On the question Of granting liquor Licenses
the judge is required to enter the order
for such election, and the vets and drys
must then fight 1t out&it an election is
held IN a whole county and the county,
as whole, votes wet, but ono or more
magistcrlal districts vote dry. no llauor
may be sold legally in the dry districts,
IL tho county. MS n whole. votes dry
and ono or more magisterial districts
vote wet, tho dry districts will DO dry
and the wet districts will be wet. Each
locality decides the question for itself
But We have another law In Virginia
which has mndo rural Virginia very dry
and in which our New York contemporary
may be Interested. 1t Is known rs the
Mann law, after Judge VIM. II. Mann
its author and it applies to rural dis
tricts having no police protection, but
does not apply to cities, nor to towns
having more than five hundred inhabitants
or to summer and winter resorts. Under
this law before a person can obtain from
the Judge Of the court q license to sell
lliquog no must present q petition signed
|by n majority OF the qualified voters Of
the town or district In which the saloon
lis to he operated. II
This virtually leglslates the saloon ou
OF the rural districts and so far as We
can learn, the operation Of the law Is
highly satisfactory to the country PEG
