It ia reported op his way that the
new county jail is not liquor-tight. It
leaks badly. We fallows in this sec
tion of the county heard such rumor
long before The Dispatch intimated
that such might' be the case. It was
common talk that the old jaii-house
would not hold it. There years ago
it is said that a strong protest was
made against the way thing* were
carried on at the county jail, and it
was promised that a change would be |
made after this last election. But
the promise was not kept and the
MU* dissatisfaction has prevailed foi
more than three years. Sonwr went
go fto os to say it was no less than
a regular “blind tiger,” and certain
parties could get liquor there almost
anytime. Why can’t the management
of the county jail be mode respecta
