and women, for we believe their
expressions are sincere and their
intentions we'll meant, but it is
hard 20 convince one OF them that
any willy politician could, by pro-
feSsed sympathy, secure their sup
port for office.
The question of liquor selling is
one regulated by law, and the men
who make the laws are elected by
the people. Therefore it is inn
possible to separate the question
from that of the political life of
the State.
The Bristol election is remarka-
ble for the fact that the Abingdon
DiSpensary and its annual receipts
were used as an argument to secure
wet" votes enough to carry the
election.
The ultimate Statewide prohibi-
tion fight in Virginia is bound to
come, and we believe four years
from this date will see it fought
out and finished, irrespective of
Bristol or any other town or city

BRISTOL VOTES WET"
H f BoyEI

As rule, the local option cleo
tions outside of Berryville receive
no comment from the COURIER.
but the election last Thursday, by
(which the city of Bristol. Va,
again joins the wet" ranks, was
surrounded 10y peculiar conditions
and is deserving of comment.
Two years ago Bristol voted
dry" but, following the closing
of the saloons, it was found that a
great volume of the whiskey trade
went TO Abingdon, 10 miles east
OF Bristol, and was spent in one Of
the Dispensaries opened under the
provisions Of the State law govern
ing such sale of liquors.
We have listened to the argu-
ments advanced by the liquor men,
and have freely predicted that
Bristol would vote for license un-
less the Dispensary at Abingdon
was closed up. And the result at
Bristol last Thursday bears out our
predictions.
We do not believe that the wet"
victory at Bristol means the turn
ing OF the tide of prohibition which
As steadily gaining ground in the
South, and in Virginia, and we
cling to the belief that Virginia
Will. in the next four years, pass
through the same character of
political upheaval as that recently
experienced by Tennessee.
Whether the result viii be the
same remains To be seen.
There is no middle ground with
the advocates of prohibition. They
are lined mp soIidly against the
sale, manufacture, or use. Of in
toxicants. Some OF the members
of that party cor faction are men of
the keeneSt Earning and percep-
ton, but upon the subject of
whIskey they make common cause
with no man or men unless he is
opposed TO its use or sale.
Shrewd politicians have, and are
now, taking advantage of the pro-
hibition movement and It's sup
porters TO secure high office, and,
to the layman, it is a pitiful ex-
hibition.
The COURIER does not criticise
or Judge the motives actuating the
great body of anti-whiskey men
