Prohibition Victory as Supreme Court Judges Local Option Law
The Supreme Court last Monday ruled the Local Option Law constitutional with Justice Campbell delivering the opinion. The decision dampened whiskey interests and spurred Prohibition’s advance, while another case in Hinds County upheld the county’s dry status and rejected efforts to invalidate the Local Cotton Election. The Mississippi press urged farmers away from cotton seed oil profits, and a proclamation named a day of thanksgiving and prayer. Local city matters cover ordinance amendments for street vendors and licenses, ditch clearing bids, and council salaries and city finances.
