taken out Tuesday night, showed ma
iority of Il to IS in favor of the meas
ure Ali the Newberry delegation voted
for it. The senate on Wednesday gave
final reading to the Carlisle bill pro-
hibiting liquor advertising in news
papers or on bill boards or by circular
distribution. Not voice was raised
against the measure, which was put
through by Senator Carlisle of Spar
tanburg. There seems to be very lit
tie trouble to get through any kind o.
prohibition measure, if it is drastic
enough.
