License Granted to Sell Liquor at
Allegheny Inn

Upon a petition of three-fourths o
the qualified voters of Goshen pre-
cinct, a liquor license was granted
last Thursday by Judge Letcher oil
Circuit Court to sell ardent spirits
for three months from June 10, 1911,
at Allegheny Inn Goshen. Va
A strenuous fight had been waged
for somo time by the temperance
people of that community against the
granting Of liquor license at Goshen.
The temperance element was repre-
scented by Mr.. Turner X. Hackman,
who assisted Common wealth's At
torney Moore in opposing the grant
ing OF license, while Colonel Robert
Catlett was attorney for the hotel
management who favored the license
In the final round up in deciding
who were entitled to vote as pre-
requisite to petition, it was found
that the liquor people lacked one
third OF one vote in order to have
she necessary three-fOurths. Mr..
Hickman yielded and permitted
the license to be granted, so as TO
avoid any further feeling in the mat
ter.
The license was granted under
an act OF the last Legislature which
permits the granting of liquor
licenses for three months during
the season, at mineral springs and
summer resorts when petitioned by
three-fourths OF the qualified voters.
Judge Letcher called attention TO
the conditions of the law, which per-
mits the sale OF liquors only to
guests OF the hotel, and he warned
the management that if complaints
reached him of violations he would
revoke the license.
