I HOLD FINALRALLV Heavy Vote Will Probably Be Polled in To-Day's Election. BOTH SIDES CONFIDENT Campaign Has Bccn Vigorous, ,But Not Attended With Bitterness. [Special to The Tlnws-Dlspatch.] Lynchburg, Va., Docember 8.?Thc local option campaign came to a close to-nlght wlth a big rally ot men at the Clty Audltorlum, under the au splces of thc local Anti-H.-iioon League. Tlie addresses wcrc made by George ItJ. Caskle, Rev. Oeorgo It. Stuart and Con? gressman Carter Olnss. All ot tho speakers were glven ovatlon after ova tlon ns they replled to arguments ad vanced by tho "wcts." Thc lndlcatlons to-nlght are that a heavy vote wlll be polled to-morrow and that lt wlll total about 2,500, or G00 more than In a slmllar llght two years ago, when thc city went dry. Thc campaign, while lt has been waged hotly from the surt, has not been attended with the bitterness that characterlzed tho flght two years ago. The "wets" havo conducted a "gum shoe" canvass, having ' had only the one puhllc meetlng of last night, whon addresf-'os were made by John I* Lee, tho famous crimlnai attorney, and Itan dolph Harrison, one of the hest known attorneys of the clty, who ls of counsel for Vlrginia in thc debt controversy with West Vlrginia. The clty, however. has hem worked in a systematlc manner. for the '"wets" have left .nothing undone to bring nbout vlctory for their cause. The "dry" campaign has been dl rectcd by the Antl-Saloon League. and this flght has been conducted with u number of' public rallles, ns well as equally aa much "gurn-shoe" work as has been dono by the "wets." Both sldes resorted during the lnte hours to the use of the mall?, and the "drys" on Tuesday Issued a slxteen-pago mug azlne cspouslng their cau.se.

As to thc result Frlday. the "drys" appear to be more confldent than their opponents. und the appcaranccs are that they stand a better chance to wln.
