Caroline Shows Dwindling Crime Under Local Prohibition
From the Baltimore News Caroline is celebrated as an object lesson in practical prohibition. Maryland Prisoners' Aid Association President Goldsborough S. Griffith cites visits to county penal institutions noting crime reduction in Caroline due to local option. The jail is largely unoccupied except for the sheriff, and though liquor can be obtained secretly, officials claim prohibition has improved moral and material welfare. Voters once considered a pending submission but abandoned it amid strong temperance opposition. Forsale in Denton: United States Horse and Cattle Food Condiment. Best for horses, cattle and hogs.
