Dispensary Election Hit By Temporary Injunction in Rome
In Rome Georgia February 24 a temporary injunction granted by Judge Henry prevented electors from choosing dispensary commissioners. The move sparks renewed controversy in the ongoing dispensary campaign with a Supreme Court of Georgia review anticipated. Ordinary Davis attempted to hold the meeting in secret but was met with protests as a deputy sheriff guarded the door. A telegram from Judge W M Henry to Hon R A Dearing halted the vote, fueling belief that Rome may face a doubtful dispensary establishment and a prolonged legal battle ahead.
