THURSDAY, MAY 2.
Cherokee County Dry.

Every joint in Cherokee county
is said to be closed up, and for
good. County Attorney Morgan
gave out notice the other day that
every joint in the county must 20
out Of business and stay out. The
result is that the county is dry,
very much so. In Galena 10 re-
freshment parlors are out Of bust.
ness, in Scammon "a thirst par.
lors have evaporated, in Mineral
the drinking population mourn the
loss Of % places where il was
possible to get something that
would cut the cobwebs. In the
entire county we understand there
were about 100 places where liq-
uor could be procured contrary to
the laws made and in such cases
provided. But now it is different
The entire state is going dry,
and we are rather clad Of it. We
believe a long continued dry spell
will bring a lot Of people. to their
senses. We believe that if the
drinking places are compelled to
remain closed there will be a re-
vulsion, Of feeling all over the
state, and that a set Of legislators
will be chosen who will have the
courage to give the people Of the
state a chance to vote on the mat
ter again. 1t has been more than
a quarter Of a century since pro-
hibition was voted upon the state
Of Kansas, and only a small part
of those who voted it on the state
are in the state today. At any
rate the population Of the state is
nearly three times what it was
then, and it is of a different kind.
In the days when prohibition was
foisted on the people the state was
full Of cranks and pessimists.
That is not true today. The day
Of hot winds, erasshoppers and
drouths has passed, and the in
habitants OF Kansas are a cheer
full lot.
We believe a majority Of the
people Of Kansas want a chance
to vote against the prohibitory
law, and we hope the next leeis-
lature will be composed Of men
who will have the courage to give
them a chance.
In the meantime let the spell Of
dryneSS continue.

Up to the County Board.

Adams Crossing, July 21.--What has
become Of the large petition sent to Oco-
nee County Board of Commissioners last
fall to build a bridge near Grants bond,
on Seneca river? Since that time Ander-
son bounty has put in a ferry just below
Maxwell's old ferry. If the ferry was
moved up the river three miles it would
be on straight line fro,u Seneca to An
derson and the river can be approached
on either side without hill. The road
that comes from Anderson ia the finest
graded road west of that place. This
would bring Seneca or miles nearer
to Anderson. Only about 2 miles of new
road would have to be built. This will
bring 800 bales of cotton to Seneca that
oChci wise will be sold elsewhere. The
people along this line want change, az
MaxwelPs Ferry is partly no good to
Oconee county.
