Virginia and Prohibition

T stopped in Richmond Sunday on my way south and met several citizens who were hoping that the state- wide prohibi- tion proposition would be defeated in the election which is to be held, I believe in September" said John F. Gathers of Philadelphia.
 The majority of people, even those who are strongly opposed to statewide prohibition, talk as if they expected the state to go dry; but the result of the election in Texas Saturday greatly en- couraged the Virginians who are on the local option side The Anti-Saloon league in Virginia had been proclaiming that Texas was overwhelmingly for statewide prohibition and that the majority would be something like 75,000 but there was a very decisive majority in Texas who voted the other way.
 1T am told that the 'state-widers' in Richmond did not attempt to conceal their surprise and disappointment at the Texas vote. Should Virginia go dry Richmond would be badly hurt commercially. It has a large wholesale liquor business, and it Is well known that most of the leading business men are committed against statewide prohibition

Birmingham as Resort section

Some one recently suggested that Bir-
 n.ingham was an ideal summer resort"
 said Chris Rainbow, and while possibly
 the remark was made fiippantly, yet the
 speaker surely hit upon a truth.
 Birmingham has as many advantages
 over some of the much touted summer
 resorts. and is as favoraby blessed by
 nature as any other section of the coun-
 try. For instance. l am convinced that
 Shades mountain and its immediate ter
 ritory is the equal of Asheville, N. G.. or any other much advertised section, beth as to it's healthy location and beauty of its scenery. From the top of Shades mountain can be seen the bustling busi- ness center of the greatest city of the south; a resident section that for the magnificence and beauty of it's homes will favorably compare with any in the length and breadth of the land. while from every point-north. south, east and west-can be seen the magnificent industrial plants that are not excelled in any other country or state.
 But in my opinion, the greatest asset of Shades mountain is its pure air and de- lightful climate. The air is as pure as that of the Swiss Alps and the climate as even as that of the south of France. While many of us are proud of our man. moth industrial plants and of the boun- teousness of kind providence in filling
 our hillsdes with iron ore and the bowelh Of our earth with coal in such abundant quantities. yet I predict that Shades mountain will be in the near future the main attraction of the district by reason of the many beautiful homes that will be built in and around this most favored spot in the most favored district il the south."

 "A meeting of the board of directors. said the doorkeeper with a yawn. And what are you?' I'm the bored" - ADDING TO THE PLEASURE. Ma, may l have two pieces of pie?" T guess so. But you don't want both pieces at the same time, do you?" ''Yessum. I want to look at one while I'm eatin' the other.''
 QUITE TRUE. 'The race is not always to the swift, you know"

Judge Breed said that under the cir cumstances there was nothing for the court to determine but to impose pen alty upon the four counts as they ap- pear in the complaint. As the cases were to go to a higher court, the matter of penalty in the Stonington court was not of much importance
 The state made no distinction, and all cases of this nature were subjected to fines for first offence of from $1O to $200. The policy of the law in a. no-Iicense town was to prevent liquor traffic. While this club might have had the legal right when the town was

TALKED ABOUT IN WESTERLY
Crowded Courtroom Stonington When Fines Imposed on Clubs Result of Liquor Raids-Appeal Taken in Each Case-seized Liquor Ordered Destroyed-Horse and Carriage Stolen in Kingston Recovered Thief, Frank Snow, in Jail.

A large delegation from Pawcatnck, interested in the case of the state against the Pawcatuck Workingmen's court of Stonington in Stonington bor- ough Monday. but had difficulty in get ting into the court room, as it was fuli to overnowing when they arrived In addition to the Pawcatuck club, the Mystic Vlub and the German Social society were before Judge Wurtum A. Breed, all charged with violations of the liquor law. Present in court were the state policemen who conducted the raids that resulted in the seizure of liquors and arrest of the stew ards of the clubs. The court room was literally packed, the condition being illustrated by this ejaculation by a through the crowd: I'm a witness, but how in h. am I going ot get in?' Judge Breed ordered that there be order in the court and that there be cessation Of conversation and that all refrain from smoking.
 The first case called was that of Wilfred Lampheary steward of the Mystic club. There were four counts in the complaint brought by Prosecut- ing Attorney George R. McKenna; At the very opening, Attorney Abel P. Tanner of New London, counsel for defendant, entered demurrer. At torney McKenna moved that the de- murrer be oyerruled and penalty be imposed.
 Attorney McKenna stated that these were the first cases brought under his administration in the enforcement of the liquor laws. He said the defendant club was composed of citizens of the village of Mystic in the town of Ston- 1ngton, which town had been by vote selected as a no-Hcense town, and as prosecutor he believed the citizens meant just what their vote signifled, and as prosecutor he was determined that the law would be enforced regard less of who the violators are, whether they be of the kitchen bar room or the club room type. as they were the same under the law. As a rule the liquor laws are violated by certain class who have interpreted law to fit the case and by keepers of kitchen bar rooms, who know the law, but take a chance of prosecution.

I The club is a different proposition where the members of a club, such asa the one under consideration, are | thoughtleSs breakers of the law and do not intend, perhaps, to openly vio- late the law, but are just the same
 engaged in a business that is illegal in no-license town, and they ought to know it. If comparison between the club room and the kitchen bar room is unjust, it is difficult to imagine how some men do not take the law seriously. He would like to have the people of the town of Stonington and the club members commune with themselves and consider if they are doing right by violating the law in the face of a vote of the citizens of the town for no-license. which means that none can be sold legally. If these club members gave the matter serious thought they would not continue in their illegal actions.
 A foreigner starts a kitchen bar room and he is arrested. continued Attorney McKenna, and he wonders why he is not allowed to sell liquor undisturbed just as are the clubs. It , will be seen that the clubs serve as a bad example. Attorney McKenna stat ed that the penalty can be a fine of from $1o t9 $1Oo for each count, but as the present is the first time he had to do with liquor prosecutions as his duty as prosecuting attorney, he would not ask for the maximum pen alty and suggested a fine of $100 for keeping with intent to sell $50 for reputation and lesser sums for the other counts.
 Attorney Tanner, counsel fer the
 Mystic club. took exception to the comparison of a kitchen bar room man and club man. He said the prosecu- tor practically amitted that there was no intention of the members of the Mystic club ito wilfully violate the laws and hoped that the court would therefore be lenient and take that fact into consideration. No one believes any member of the Mystic club dis penses liquor for profit The club is composed of some of the best citizens of the town and was not organized wholly for drink and the example they set is worthy of emulation rather than condemnation
 Attorney Tanner explained that the demurrer admits the charges, as the case is to be determined in 8 higher court. He asked the court to look be- hind the scene, exercise common sense and decline to follow the prose- cutor's suggestion to the fuil extent in the matter of penalty, it being a first offence and with no intention of violating the law. While the counsel for defendant cannot ask court not to impose any fine, but the smallest pos sible would be fair and just in the premises.
