four wards participating I'm the cleo
ton, the fifth and sixth wards, con-
stituting the section known as North
Danville, having no voice In the con-
test. That section was dry when an
neXed, on the condition that liquor
should not be sold there.
Never in the history OF Danville
have the people been so stirred as in
to-day's contest, and the vote cast
lacked only about 20 of being a total
registration. Every effort known to
political strategy was employed, and
the drys went down to defeat only
after making a most aggressive fight.
Danville. during the past seven
years, has alternated in the four cleo
lions held. The last election was held
April is, 1908, when the drys won by
a majority of As. In 1906 the city
went wet and in 1908 dry.
The victory of the wet forces here
yesterday has a wide significance. 1t
means that the dry States of North
Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia
will have better facilities of procuring
liquor
The city promises to develop into a
mail order liquor town, and whiskey

have secured options on practically
every place in the city suitable for
their business: Both sides realized
that 1t was fight to the finish.
Women were not in evidencve at

rade. The election, while most ag-
gressive, was devoid Of excitement
and there was no disorder.
