St. Mary's Rejoices Over Vic.
tory Against Liquor Forces.
Leonardtown, Md, Aug. 3.-To the
ringing of church bells all over the coun-
ty, St. Mary's, the Oldest county in the
State and for many, many years the
"wettest" in Southern Maryland, went
'dry" today by a majority of $50.
The result was great shock to the
"wets," who were confident that old st.
Mary's, in which man has been able
to get anything he wanted to drink from
the very beginning of the settlement of
Maryland and where almost every cross
roads store sold liquors, would never give
up its tipple or follow in the footsteps of
its "dry" sisters, Calvert and Charles.
But they made some serious miscalcula-
tions, and unless the act submitting the
question to the people of the county at
the special election held Tuesday should
be declared unconstitutional by the courts
the sale of liquor in any form after May
list, next year, will be violation of the
law and will probably land the seller
thereof in the county Jail and subject
him to heavy fine.
Of toe nine districts iE the county. all
but two voted "dry." The "wets" had
counted on carrying four of the districts
by comfortable majorities and expected
a stand-off in one district. The "drys'
expected from the first to carry most of
the districts, but they hardly anticipated
such victory as they achieved.
