.. Some men will tell you that they
can get all the whisky they want in
Rock Hill, YOrkville, Charlotte, Allan
ia or any other prohibition town. We

get a drop, and thousands of good and
bad men who are not known to the
blind tigers must get it from the dis
pensary or do without, and when the
dispensary goes their liquor is gone. -.
