If the Prohibition ended in 1933, why does Andy Griffith go to break up a still?

I found this comment and learned the answer.

A word or two for those not from the United States, the South or just too dang-gone young to know. Back during the time of this show, huge portions of the Southern United States (including most of North Carolina--where the show is set) were officially 'dry'--meaning that ANY sale or use of alcohol was prohibited--well after the national experiment with Prohibition ended in 1933. Other municipalities allowed only lower alcohol consumption and sales--such as lower alcohol beers.

My son asked for a list of things to remind him what to write home about on his mission.
