What is the wettest section in the U.S.A., the place where during prohibition and since, the most illicit liquor has been made? The extreme wet spot, per number of people, isn’t New York or Chicago . . . the spot that fairly dripped illicit liquor, and kept right on dripping it after prohibition ended . . . is Franklin County, Virginia.
