FIGHT AGAINST
WHISKEY,

Richmond, Va, June 23.-
Gentlemen from Southwest Nir-
ginia express the opinion that
the people of that section, dis
gruntled at the recent decision
of the State Corporation Com
mission, will set to work to
have the State of Virginia vote
on the question Of prohibiting
the sale of liquor.
The Southwest Is generally
dry and they say that the de-
cisiOn whereby a man in Roam
oke can ship whiskey into these
towns after the towns have
voted against it and passed or
dinances prohibiting its being
brought into the corporate linn
it's does not cOmport with their
ideas of local self government.
They take the view that if the
city Of Roanoke insists on set
ting aside ;heir wishes and dis
regarding the same, they will
ask the people of the State to
vote ON the question and settle
the matter for good and all.
