Prohibition shows no harm to labor or business says Fayetteville editor
A Florence Times excerpt argues prohibition did not demoralize labor or cripple growth. It cites Fayetteville supporters claiming electric lights, sewerage, banks, and rapid expansion since saloon days, and Warsaw's population rise and new schools after prohibition. The piece cites Birmingham and Meridian as towns with mixed outcomes, suggesting prohibition boosts or sustains business in contrast to liquor.
