Jefferson County Goes Dry After Licenses Refused
Jefferson County Court refused all liquor licenses for the ensuing fiscal year ending July 1 1911, closing ten saloons in Charles Town three in Harper’s Ferry and a brewery agency. A hard fought temperance campaign led by Colston and Judge Beckwith overcame liquor interests in a crowded court session with educators ministers and citizens testifying. The decision, by a 3 to 2 vote, began immediate compliance across the county and was hailed as removing a source of disorder and temptation from the community.
