Broad River township in York county
has become headquarters for the IL
licit manufacture Of liquor; and the
country fairly teens, or has been fairly
teeming, with stills. What makes
revision of this statement necessary
to the latter form is the fact that the
good people of the township. led by
Magistrate Smith, and ably assisted by
good men from other parts Of the
county, have arisen in their might, and
are doing their utmost to put stop to
the whole business with considerable
success That's what it requires to
effect reform-public sentiment.
No matter how bad situation may
be, let public sentiment crystalize and

violation of law on such an extensive
scale that Broad River township has
been treated to be undertaken here.
