Local option bill gainsHouse passage and possible law
The proposed local option bill passed the house and awaits the governor’s signature. It would allow counties to vote on prohibiting spirituous liquors, with elections triggered by one tenth of voters in a county. If the vote is against sale, alcohol sales would cease in that county, and sales would resume only after changes or new votes. The measure also preserves domestic wine and sacramental use and restricts sales in already restricted races. The article discusses broader social attitudes and cotton crop updates beyond the bill.
