New Local Option Bill Aims to Bottle Up Liquor
Mississippi moves toward tighter controls with Hon J W Magee introducing a local option bill before the Senate Committee on Temperance. The act would bar shipment and advertising of intoxicants into prohibition counties and impose fines for violations, with further provisions for publishers and carriers. The measure mirrors Prohibition aims to shield dry counties and restrict liquor access statewide.
