Prohibition Laws in Counties Declared Unconstitutional in Georgia
The Georgia Supreme Court held that county prohibition laws conflicting with the 1877 general act allowing domestic wine sales are unconstitutional. Justice Fish wrote the opinion, noting Warren County grants, along with Paulding and Glascock, face invalidation where local acts oppose the general law. The ruling could apply to other counties with similar conflicts, though local option counties are unaffected.
