PROHIBITION
AND AFTER.
It is useless to deny that F11
lie sentiment ismoving in the di
rection of prohibiting by law the
manufacture and sale of intoxi
eating liquors. It has not been
five years since even anti-saloon
people would have doubted the
success of a prohibition election
in Virginia, to say nothing of the
ridicule given such an idea by the
liquor people. Yet prohibition
is a fact in Virginia today. We
have Heard it asserted that the
wets wold Win in North Caroli
