BRISTOL half WET.

After one OF the hottest Local
option contests in the south, the Vir-
rinis half of Bristol yesterday voted
"wet" by the narrow msjOrity OF SO.
The Tennessee half is dry under state
vide prohibition IN that state.
Iii estimated that 40 to 90 saloons
and mail-order liquor houses, which will
pay the city $3.50, 900 year Ia revenue,
will come to Bristol, and that will be
made a liquor distributing point for the
entire south.
Bristol, Va, voted dry two years ago,
after the other city had by sn over
whelming majority asked the Tennessee
legislature to abolish its charter and re-
incorporate 1t without saloons. The
city formerly bad 3S saloons and mail
order liquor houses, which did business
of a million aud half dollars year.
Recently the City Council, in view Of
the coming of the locsl-option election,
raised the license tax to 81, 500 on each
saloon or msil-order liquor house, furn-
ishiDg ground Tor the high-license cam
psign.
Yesterdays election was witnessed by
hundreds of visitors, who went to the
city out Of curiosity, in addition to nearly
& hundred representatives of diatillers,
brewers aud whisky deslers from all
over the country.
Several hundred women and children
gathered around the polls and prayed
and Rsng all day. They served lunches
and not coffee to probably 600 people,
in a building near the main voting
place.
Bristol is equally divided b. the state
line, oEe half OF the city being In Vir-
GINA and the other halt in Tennessee,
with the ststs line running directly
through the main ;horOughiare OF the
city.
The temperance people of the Tennes-
see side Of the city, shich is under stale
vide prohibition, and which could not
vote on the question OF saloons, Joined
bands with their brethren In Virginia
and worked hard and long for the sue
