Winchester Goes Dry.

The wet and dry election in Win
chester on Tuesday last passed off
quietly although there was intense
interest in the outcome. Some
days before the election, both sides
had procured speakers and the dfys
were especially active in the cam
paign. They seem to have gather
ed some new recruits amongst infu-
entail people one of whom was Ma
ior Holmes Conrad, who some. ten
days before the election had made
a dry speech in introducing prohl-
bition speakers. On last Saturday
night, Mr.. Richard Evelyn Byrd,
speaker of the house of delegates of
Va, made an imprisoned speech
in behalf of the drys, and created a
good deal of enthusiasm. The re-
suit of the vote was $50 majority
in favor of the drys, which was 80
more than the previous election,
the town having been carried dry
two years ago by about 100 major
ity. The vote was we'll gotten out
on both sides, and there was active
work being done throughout the
day. The result is no surprise as
the election was practically conced-
ed to the drys before it took place.
