CANNOT STOP CIDER SALE.
West Point Mayor Was Imposing
Heavy Fine When Injunction
Secured.

Richmond, Aug. 25.-The Honora
bic Hans Anderson, mayor Of West
POINT, is enjoined from interfering
with the sale of apple cider in that
town.
Apple cider, be it known, is the
only means whereby the thirst oil
some OF the citizens can be at all
Stacked, The town having some time
ago Gecreed that never again shall
liquor be sold there.
The Rose Cliff Fruit Farm, ore Oh
the biggest orchards in the State, has
apples-more apples than can be sold
at this time of the year--iand they
are ground up and made into cider.
Under the laws of the Safe Of V'r-t
ginia there is no tax on such product
provi:led it is pure apple cider.
Confident that It's particular brand
of cider would appeal to the folks OF
West Point, in the absence OF the us
nal nip, this concern procecded TO Oh
fer its produdt for sale there.
All of which WAS in opposition to
the expressed will of the majority OF
the voters, and so they "riz up and
protested to Mayor Anderson. The
mayor opined that such sales were
aon6nst the laws as made and pro-
vided in dry towns. Thercupon ne
imposed fine of 500 and costs
against one James O'Connor for such
sales. But Mr.. O'Connor did not stop
at that fine.
So Mayor Anderson again hailed
Mr.. O'Connor to the bar Of Justice
and said THAT as each days ofTcnse
constituted ~ separate offense. ne was
constrained to impress on him the
majesty Of the law, ana made the
fine 5000 and costs.
Parties in interest then took ac-
ton. The attorneys went before
Judge Crump, Of the Law and Equity
Court, and an injunction was issued
AGAINST Mayor Anderson lend the OF
ficers Of the town to prevent them
from Interfering with O'Connor OF
others who might undertake to sell
pure apple cider in that town, Judge
Crump holding that there is no law To
prevent sucl, sales.
