Kinston, N.C., Sept. 29—Twenty-five persons, white and black and of both sexes, were arrested here tonight by city and county police on a charge of violating the prohibition laws. Those that could not furnish the $500 bonds required were locked in the city and county jails, where they will spend the week-end. Warrants for 25 more have been issued, and will be served tonight and Sunday, according to officials in charge of the raid.
The roundup of the alleged prohibition violators was conducted by local officials as, according to reports of the local police officials, no federal officers are in the city. Those arrested tonight will be given (last line obscured).
