see so many people in the ranks OF
the Reform party this year who were
not with us two years ago. The moSe-
msnt for the abolition Of the saloon is
stronger today than ever and is be-
coming universal. In one county in
South Carolina where few years ago
there we're twenty-five distilleries and
not a single cotton mill. now has nifty
cotton mills and not single dlstii-
lsry.
81 am much Kratified," continued Mr.
Atwster. ito say to you that II the
local option bill now before the gen.
sral assembly becomes a law. and
there Ia every reason to believe it will
within very few days. It will be pos
sible to stop the sale OF intoxicating
liquors In Prospect Heights. There 10
provision In the bill which does not
allow saloon within the limits OF .
voting precinct where the majority Of
the citizens are opposed to such an
institution. The major part Of the
people OF South Canon, in which vot-
ing precinct Prospect Heights is lo-
Gated, are enemies of the saloon. and
