If any rail road, street oar, taxlcab. or tug In Virginia has any liquor on board S? hours after midnight last night dire things will happen to It. The new Map pa prohibition law, which went into effect at the stroke of IS last night, provides that any Uquor found In the possession of * common carrier After 14 hours there after will be subject to confiscation. Tey can carry ell they want to op to that time, but Prohibition Commis sioner peters says they simply must not hare It after that. The state will become officially a Sahara In respect to alcphollc bev erages. There will be no kingly oases to draw the, traveler from his beaten path. Virginia will be 'dry" as a bone teh officials charged with prohi bition enforcement contend. Commissioner Peters, who is arm ed with the polbwers of a Bheriff and then some, has several deputies to aid him in getting "bootleggers," and is understood to be sealous in his de termination to see that not a single unsullied drop is sold there. Hotels can use It ? but only In their cooking. Clubs and fraterni ties are under the ban. Drug stores, under heavy bond, can dispense al coholic liquor for medicinal and scientific purposes only. It will bo unlawful for any person In the stato to manufacture, transport, sell, ad vertise. give away, dispense, or so licit orders for ardent spirits, which are defined as alcohol, brandy, whls- 1 key. mm. gin. wine, porter, ale, beer all malt, liquors, absinthe and all the compounds or any of these with veg etables or other substances, that will produce Intoxication. "Fruits pre served in "ardent spirits" aro placed in the same cateforjr. ?A hotel ean keep a supply of li quor for use in the klUhen for cull nary purposes, and fat use In mu> sage In the baths, but that Is all. In att eases where whiskey Is sold, a great deal of red* tape must be gone through with, and enough book keeping done by the dispense r to keep up a whoelsale house. The dlspon sors must first procure licenses that will throw a million different safe guards about the "trallc." No liquor adrertlstflB of any sort may be carried in any .Virginia news paper. They cannot even mention Demon Rum in their 'advertisement columns. Out of state newspapers can carry liquor advertisements, but cannot be delivered by carriers; they must be mailed if $uch advertise ments appear. .
