Effects of Prohibition in Gaffway and Cherokee County
A letter to Hon. B. F. Crayton, citing that since dispensaries were voted out in Cherokee County, alcohol sales fell dramatically, streets cleared of drunkenness, and public morals improved. The writer notes about 100000 dollars spent on liquor annually, with most leaving the county, and praises vigilant police, magistrates, and a determined sheriff. He claims the mill operatives and farmers largely voted against the dispensary, and asserts a future vote would also favor prohibition.
