Both of these methods have been employed in West Virginia in recent months since the eighteenth amend ment became operative without the desired result, Mr. Arnold states. He does not think conditions in North Carolina are dissimilar to those in i his state ana is emphatic in the be lief that until there is a more gen eial respect for the Volstead act, here and elsewhere over the United States, prohibition will not prohibit for some year- to come. The state of West Virginia offers a striking example of the inability of prohibition enforcement officers tr stamp out the manufacture of snirituous liquors. Recently that state, by legislative enactment, created a state constabulary of 250 men to join hands with the federal revenue forces in nutting a stop to the liquor traffic. Today it is gener ally admitted that more whiskey is being maufactureo! and peddled ' fn West Virginia than at any time since the eighteenth amendment was rati fied. I naddition to the state police the federal government incerased its force of revenue officers there with out avail. Mr. Arnold is a great-nephew of General Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson and is being urged by some of the West Virginia papers to make the race for congress in his district from that state. While in Raleigh he visited at the home of Dr. D. H. Hill, his uncle, stoping here enroute home from South America where he spent several weeks on business. TREET GARS IN NORFOLK RUN r TtSed Bv the Associated Press. "Norfolk, Va., Jan. 2'A.
