Query In Regard to Local Option
Law.


Law.
We are in receipt of the following
communication
North Middletown, KY, Jan. 81, 1907.
Editor Bourbon News As there
seems to be quite difference of
opinion as to the effect of a local option
election held under the provisions of
the County Unit Bill, I will esteem it
a great favor ii you will let me know,
through the columns of your valuable
paper, whether in the event that a
majority of the votes cast in such an
election for the whole county were in
favor of the sale OF whisky, could
whisky then be sold in this precinct?
SUBSCRIBER.
No. A local option law now being
In effect IN the Middletown precinct,
It's status would be changed by the re-
suit of an election held for the whole
county. The Co14lty Unit Bill pro-
vides:
IF at such an election for the entire
county the majority of the legal votes
cast are in favor of the slae, barter or
loan of such liquors. such election shall
not operate tol make it legal to grant
licensa to sell, barter/or loan such
liquor in any terfitoriG division of such
county from whieh~fhe sale barter or
loan has been excluded by an election
held under this article or by special
act. but the status of such territorial
division shall remain as if no such cleo
ton had been held.
AS local option law is in effect in
every precinct in this county except
the City of Paris. the only result Of
an election held for the whole county
would be that in the event that the
majority of the votes cast were against
the sale of liquor, it could not be sold
in the City of Paris; in case the
majority was in favor of the sale, it
could still be sold in Paris but no.
where else in the county.

such endured POPULARITY as "A Man Of
Mystery, Monday nights offering and
the cause of its popularity is very ap-
