ONCE UPON APRIL Goth

Three centuries ago this week, on
or about April 20, 1888, the British
government placed in effect a decree
of King Charles 1, requiring all emf
grants to obtain from the Archbishop
of Canterbury, or the Bishop of Cant
erbury, or the Bishop of London, per-
mission to leave England, said permits
sion to be granted only to those
known to be conformist to the Estab-
lished (Anglican) Church.
His Majesty's minister and eccles-
tiastical advisers had become alarm
ed at the marked increase in the num-
Der of emigrants to New England,
who they suspected. were DESTROYS. of
escaping the authority of the Church
of England. They foresaw rebellion
against all authority of the Mother
country being fomented in Massachu-
sets by such malcontents.
Nevertheless, the decree was a sad

sion of the liquor question to State
wide referendum and to the plea Of
Gale K. Burgess an. his co-workers
that dry legislators be sent to the
1889 General Assembly. This is the
show window or front" of the dry
cause, hut behind the referendum de-
mands the really intensive efforts of
the prohibition cohorts are centered
on proving to the world that "it can
! be DONE" Mr.. Burgess isn't issuing
j statements about it, nor are other
! leaders; but it is obvious they feel
that the prohibition issue is going to
, be a live one in North Carolina fo~
, many : year. 1r
! Thei~ n~oce,+ .oxDreS~nd intention IS

obvious they do not believe that even
such a success would end their wor-

against every form of liquor is their

I, Here's how they did the trick in
Mitchell county.
Meetings wee called in the churches
]
the county. People Of all religious ;.f-
f.liations attended, ind participated.
"A strong county Or~anization was
set up with a lavman - The head SUP

this organization every voter could be

these talks were made in every sec

firm and plainly told him that while
ne sold bee" md vine they would not
ouy anything at his place. This closed
nearly All the places in the county
where beer and wine were Sold
The dry forces made it plain to
candidates for office that unless they
came out clearly for the abolition of
the liquor traffic, they could not ex-
poet dry votes in any election
The result was passage of the bone
dry law i'll the 1887 General Assem-
Oily banning both beer and wine from
the county,
Drys maintain that cleaning out
beer and wine joints reduced arrests
within the corporate limits of Spruce
Pine for drunkenness and Other
crimes directly connected with liquor

The drys hail their Mitchell county
experience as a success They claim
to have aroused public opinion to the
point where it demanded a real hon
est, effective enforcement of bone dry
prohibition.
They now propose to conduct just
such campaigns, in just such a way,
in an increasing number of counties.
They have begun. with. the. mountain
sections of the. west. They expect a
two-fold beneficial result-first they
will dry up many sections, hut above
all they will have demonstrated that
prohibition can be enforced and if
they can once do that, they are con
fident that an. overwhelming major
ity of North Cardinals voters will be
on their side.
