Graham and surrounding towns show strong support for prohibition
The Graham district reports a decisive local option vote with a 325 majority in favor of prohibition. While towns like Farmer Belknap and Eliasville show varied results, overall sentiment leans against liquor sales and supports clearer schools and growth. Local leaders, churches, and merchants promote moral and civic improvements amid a rain-soaked week.
