B. I. Gaje report in th B axm G rotc9 shows how the ex penses of criminals alone were re duced in that county by Prohibition. In Halifax county I found the same result about the delivery of trees; in Scotland Neck township, where tbey have Prohibition under the Iocs! option laws, my delivery was nearly equal to Northampton; while at Enfield and Halifax towns, where there were several bar rooms, my deliveries were as bad as in Ber tie; so I could; not atbibute the dif ference to anything else but the de moralizing effects of spirituous liq uors.
