Apparently there would have been Ill

THE CHURCH AND THE SALOON.

The campaign for Statewide prohibition was
repeatedly denounced by the opposition press
a. being too largely characterized by church
influence Regardless of the fact that saloon
and church are natural enemies and can never
meet to conflict, regardless OF the fact that
no church worthy of the name can compromise
with the saloon, the opposition press and plat
form announced repeatedly that the church was
betraying its high calling by participating in
the campaign for prohibition.
The church opposes the saloon as an insttu'
ton For the individual saloonkeeper the
church has and can never have any sentiment
other than deepest sympathy. An effective an
TO the criticisms of the church for partici.
pating almost as unit in the move for prohibit
ton is gi9er in the resolutions adopted by the
convention of the Virginia Christian Missionary
society in convention assembled here Saturday.
The following utterance was made;

nected directly or indirectly with this traffic as
neans OF maintenance for themselves and
their own. our hands and hearts with view

Liquor at the Fair.
Editor NirGinian:

Editor VirGinian:
Sill am very glad to note from the papers
this morning that the directors Of the State fair
VIII very likely consider the ACCESSIBILITY of not
selling liquor on the grounds this TALL ] have
always thought their action in this respect ex-
ceedingly unwise from a business standpoint if
not otherwise. Now however the people have
spoken In no uncertain terms to their wishes
regarding this question. the State having been
carried dry by such an overwhelming majority.
l sincerely trust that the fair managers will
promptly decide to eliminate liquor selling from
the grounds during the exhibition, and by that
means enlist the cooperation of the whole of
the State Of Virginia in their efforts to advance
the cause o. agriculture, etc, in grand old
State. l feel sure that If this action is not
taken thousands and thousands of good Chris
tan people in the State of Virginia will not at
tend the fair. who otherwise would be very
glad to do so. I fully believe thousands of
people we're kept away last year that ac-
count and am sure many will be kept
away this year unless this action is taken, and
l sincerely trust to see it promulgated through
the press promptly that they have decided to
take this stand.

What Prohibition Has Done in North Carolina.

What Prohibition Has Done in North Carolina
Editor virginian:
Sr,-It gives much pleasure to say that
prohibition has transformed conditions in this
county. Instead of building sthouses we are
now building schoolhouses and churches. And
rot only in the educational and religious world
the better is to be noted along all lines of activity
III the entire county. The people are turning
'helr attention to better farming buying farm
machinery and tiliine the soil after the pst nm
to-date methods. Instead OF selling their apples
and other fruit to the distIers our people ara
canning these; selling them on the local and other
markets, manufacturing them into vinegar and
thus obtaining much better prices than were
ever possible under old conditions here There
mas been quite an influx of settlers here In the
past rev years who are turning their attention
wholely, or in part to the development of our
orchard lands, notably among the Brushy noun
tsins and these apple growers have been
enabled to place on the market a product nm
surpassed anywhere and for which they have
obtained fancy prices Before the advent of
prohibition here scarcely any one thought Of
raising fruit for any purpose save that of manu-
featuring brandy or Of disposing of them to the
distiliers at from eight to ten cents per bushel.
This very season the early apple the one which
the advocates of local option claimed were of
no value whatever save for manufacturing into
hrandy-sold right here on our local market
for forty cents per bushel.
1t Is very rare thing that you ever see n
person here under the influence Of liquor Be-
fore prohibition came to North Carolina you
could not get crowd of people together any
where without more or less drinking This is
of the most noticeable things which pro-
hibition has done for our county and section.
Where in former days it was scarcely safe to
go at times now you see the people engaged in
industrial occupations and turning their atten=
ton to that which goes to make for better rural
conditions and for the educational. moral and
social uplft of the community.
Large was the majority here against pro-
h!bition when the election was held six years
ago. people would not return to the manu-
feature and sale OF liquor for any consideration,
and who was familiar with affairs as they
existed under conditions which formerly obtained
here would be wholly unprepared for the trans
formation which would greet him now. should
ne, after absence of these seven years, re-
turn to this section.
Our people here are praying that the right
may obtain in the Old Dominion, and that the
forces Of good may be able to throw off the yoke
which has long held them under subsection
to the evils of the saloon and the groe shops
will be glad day for North Carolina when
the saloons and wholesale liquor warehouses
OF Norfolk. Danvile, Richmond and other vir-
ginia cities forever closed. May God speed
the day

From this experience a double lesson may be
drawn. First. that the amount of interest in
the prohibition election, even though admitted
TO be the greatest in any recent public ques.
ton. was entirely underestimate by large
number of Virginians.
Second, it is never we'll to rely on Impressions
but always to provide for every possible
