CRUSADE AGAINST
LILO UOR TRAFFIC
Especial to The Times Dispntoh.

lSpeCiRl 10 me I1IncS- i.
Lancaster. Va. March 1s-shortly
after Christmas vigorous crusade was
organized against the Illegal sale OF
liquor in Richmond and Westmoreland
counties. Indictments were found
against about twenty persons at tho
January term OF the Circuit Court for
Richmond county for this offense, and
at the March term of the court all
of the accused persons except ono
plead guilty and paid fines amounting
to more than $1,000. One negro, who
refused to plead guilty. was tried. con-
victed fined $500 and sent to Jail for
sixty days. At the last term Of the
Circuit Court for Westmoreland county
ten indictments were found against
persons for selling liquor in that coun-
ty, and the grand jury was continued
TO the next term to complete the
work. Heretofore there have oeen but
few prosecutions In these counties for
this offense, which seems to have
caused many persons to violate the
law. The crusade that Is now wag-
ms against the illegal traffic will
doubtless have deterrent effect upon
the would-be lawbreakers,
