Prohibition Prose and Savannah Mill Violence Spotlight Debate

A mouthful of Prohibition rhetoric from a Savannah News report condemns liquor power and defends prohibition as the remedy, arguing it strengthens Christianity and population growth. It also recounts savagely violent incidents at the Arkwright factory in Savannah where a minority disrupted operations and endangered workers, prompting calls for severe punishment. The Brunswick Journal adds a note on skepticism toward Northern influence and a plea for respectable immigration while warning against anti-Southern bias.
