A Setback to Prohibition in Virginia
By R. w. Simpson Harpers Weekly July 81 1909

The latest development OF the anti
alcohol crusade in Virginia is looked
upon with some feeling Of apprehen-
sion by the prohibition leaders. Some
weeks ago local option election was
held in Petersburg. in which the sa-
looms won by a majority in every
ward, the prohibition defeat being
the greatest recorded In the south in
years. In the campaign the saloon
men were eliminated, the fight for
the open bar being led by the Bust
ness Mems Association, composed of
the foremost business people and citi-
zens generally. The wet" victory
there, however, was more Of rebuke
to Anti-Saloon League methods ond
its imported speakers than a declara-
ton that the town could not get along
without its daily drinks
Following closely upon the election
In Petersburg the people Of Bristol,
Virginia, signed a petition for the

WHISKEY SANDWICH.
This is the Latest Evasion of the Ii.
quor Law.

A dispatch. from Birmingham, Ala,
saws the sale and distribution of the
whiskey sandwich is the latest meth
cd of evaGing the liquor laws in the
State of Alabama: Loaves of bread.
cut and arranged to represent oyster
sandwiches, are sold over the coun-
ters in lunchrooms. presumably op-
Grated for that purpose, a bottle OF
whiskey being arranged between the
LAYERS of the bread. 1t is said
that questionable lunchrooms have
sprung up all over the State, in
which these contraband goods con-
stitute practically the total bill OF
fare.
The discovery of the whiskey
sandwich was made by the warden
at the Birmingham Jail, who took it
into his head to examine an appar-
emily innocent sandwich which was
brought to the Jail for one of the
prisoners by a relative. The prisoner,
Charles Smith, a negro, had only re-
Gently attempted to make his escape.
The warden was suspicious that
something might have been hidden
in the unusually large sandwich.
Upon opening the loaf large bottle
of whiskey was discovered. A rigid
Investigation was then put on foot,
which resulted in the discovery that
the whiskey sandwich is already an
important article Of commerce in
Alabama.

East Suffers from Heat.

New York, June 25.-Almost the
entire State of New York and prac-
tically all of New England sweltered
to-day.
The maximum temperature re-
corded here was 90. There were at
least seven deaths in the city proper
due to heat, one suicide and two at
tempts at suicide. Prostrations were
so frequent as to pass almost unno-
ticed. Conditions were almost un-
bearable in the affected centres OF
New England and many mills and
shops were closed. Two deaths were
reported at Providence, R. l., and
one at New Bedford, aMss.
In New York city the east side
suffered most and many of the small
and poorly ventilated factories shut
down during the afternoon.
Starting at 78 at 8 o'clock this
morning, the mercury climbed
steady until it reached it's maximum
of 90 at 8 o'clock. At 5 o'clock a
gale sprang up bringing with it a
downpour of rain, with thunder
storm accompaniment. In less than
80 minutes the mercury dropped to
50. Several structures at Coney Is
land and vicinity were blown down
and small boats were overturned, !,
but no loss of life was reported.

CHEROKEE MAY VOTE.
Petitions Ask for an Election as to
the Whiskey Traffic.

Gaffney, June 24.-Those who are
circulating petitions in this county
for the election as to whether or not
the county will again have the dis
pensary claim that they have about
500 signers. This is more than one
fourth of the qualified voters, and it
looks as if they will succeed in hav-
ing the election ordered.
Those who are opposed to the in
stitution claim that no election can
be held in Cherokee county because
it is dry now; but the law provides
that elections may be held in coun-
ties which are dry" provided that
four years have elapsed since there
has been an election upon the ques-
ton, and as the dispensary was voted
out on November s, 1904, it will be
seen that it will be legal to hold an
other election now as more than
four years have elapsed since the
election was held.
Conditions have been so much bet
ter in Cherokee since voting out the
dispensary that there is no probabil-
ity that in case the election be Or
dered it can be carried by the dis
pensary element.

NEGRO NOW IN AIKEN JAIL.
He is Accused of Entering House
With Felonious Purpose.

Aiken, June 26.-Everett Abney
vas brought to Aiken this morning
by Constable Sawyer, from Ridge
Spring. He is charged with entering
the home of a prominent citizen near
Ridge Spring. A great deal of excite
ment is said to have prevailed, and
it is said attempts were made to deal
out summary justice to the negro,
but the officers were able to elude the
pursuers and, by travelling practically
all night, the consta Bile reached Aiken
this morning at five o'clock safely.
Abney denies any connection or
over Is years of age. When the young
lady awoke she felt the negro's hand
on her face, and thinking it was her
sister, she called to her to remove it,
at which the negro became frightened
and quickly made his escape through
the door. AS he was leaving, how
ever, the girls mother recognized
him as Abney, who is farm hand on
the place. Evidence was further
added against him, when the next
morning he was not to be found on
the place. A search was instituted
for him. Sheriff Raborn spent yes
terday there, trying to find the negro,
and for the purpose of protecting him
if his life was endangered.
The negro was greatly frightened
when he was brought here. He is a
very intelligent looking negro.
Whether he had the intention of as
saulting the young lady or whether
his motives were for robbery is not
known, but the people generally be-
lieve that he had fiendish motives, as
the lady was not making any noise at
the time, and there was no need for
him to try to force her to keep quiet,
as she was asleep. It is stated by the
officers that the negro will probably
to taken to Columbia for safe keep
ing.

Shame on "Red Buck"

They've given our junior senator a
new name up in Washington, so Red
Buck" Bryant says. RED Buck is
the Washington correspondent of the
Charlotte Observer and he loves a
joke even better than Zach McGhee.
He says:
when congress adjourns and the
records are examined there will be
the merest handful of Democrats who
have not gone wrong, more or less,
if measured by the Denver platform.
Senator Gore, more \ of a Populist
than a Democrat-once Populjst
now one-and Smith, of South Caro-
lima, whose name has been changed
from Calling Gun Smith to Pop Gun
Smith, or Light Wad Smith, will be
all that is left of the Democratic par
ty, if the promised weeding-out
comes"
Now, isn't that awful? And cotton
has not yet gone to Is cents, either.
Those Washington correspondents
are terribly irreverent and disrespect-
full, and it's no wonder the senators
try to lick 'em every now and then
Red Bucks got one coming to him

NEGRO DIES AFTER WHIPPING.
Body of Blind Preacher Found IN
Creek Near Talbotton, Ga.

Talbotton, Ca, June 24.-After
being taken from his house Saturday
by posse the body of blind travel
ing negro preacher was found lear
here yesterday in creek. The
preacher, whose name has not been
learned, had made speeches which
angered the whites in his neighbor-
hood, and public indignation against
him was further infamed by the fact
that he stopped at the home of the
negro William Carrikoer, who was
lynched Tuesday night, after he had
killed William Leonard, a white man
Sunday, while posse of whites was
searching for the preacher with the
intention of warning him away from
the community. The preacher is said
to have Influenced negroes not to
work for whites.
The posse is said to have whipped
the preacher, but it is claimed that
they did no other violence to him
and that his death was accidental,
due to falling from bridge.

"OBLIGED TO SEE FAMILY"
Having Escaped from Chaingang,
Convict Voluntarily Returned.


Lexington, June 26.-After spend
ing a week with his wife and chill
dren near Saluda court house, B. F.
Rushton, the young white convict
who escaped from the Lexington
Changing Thursday week ago, has
returned to the camp to serve out the
remainder of his sentence of eight
months for forgery.
It will be remembered that Rush
ton left camp just before heavy
rain and thunder storm ten days ago.
1t was thought at the time that Rush
ton possibly had been killed by light
ming, but all efforts to find his body
proved futile, and the heavy rain OBJ
liberated his tracks, so it was impos-
sible to find out which way he had
gone.
Rushton came to Lexington on the
train Thursday, just week after ne
had skipped, and, upon learning that
the chaingang had moved from where
it was located when he left, he took
the next train for Cayce. 1t is un-
derstood that he told Capt. Mack that
he felt obliged to see his family, and
that he had not made any effort to 60
further than his home. He says that
he cut the shackles with the axe
which he carried with him presum-
ably to cut wood with, and that he
left his stripes and chains in the
woods. He wore an old suit OF
clothes that belonged to a negro at
the camp. He says he walked all
night and arrived at his home at
about daybreak Friday morning. He
ha da most delightful trip, he says,
and is now ready to serve the re-
mainder of his time.
This is perhaps the first time in the
history of this county that prisoner
has returned to the gang after stay
ing off so long of his own volition.
When he left he was a "trusty" and
was filing the position of cook, but
he is now shoveling dirt with the
other prisoners, Capt. Mack being OF
the opinion that Rushton might want
to 20 home to see his family again
soon.
It was stated in this correspond
ence few days ago that Rushton was
the seventh prisoner to escape from
the gang within the last six months.
This is an error. Only three prison
ers have escaped from the gang since
the new officers have been in charge,
and all of them have been cooks
TRUSTEES. With the return of Rush
ton this leaves only two absent. But
five escaped in November, last year,
and only one of the five has been re-
captured.
