VIRGINIA 70 BE DRY.

There are strong indications that
Virginia will join her youngest
daughter and go dry soon as the MA
chine can work it out. Debate on

the holders of bonds, had it's incep-
ton among the wet contingent
after the adoption of the prohibition
amendment. 1t did not work for
two or three reasons, one Of which
was that we do not owe anything
and another was the people would
not stand for It, The only effect was
to cause many persons to doubt the
loyalty Of the people in this section.
