th.s, and the subject was a popular
one in Kings Mountain pulpits on!
Sunday. Some churches distribuied
cards to church goers asking mem- i
hers to volunteer their car and?or j
services for use during the election i
on Saturday.
Arnold W. Kineaid, prominent Bap
tist layman and chairman of the
Number 4 township dry group, has
mapped a strong campaign to get "
out the dry vote, and, in an adver
tisement in this issue of the Her
ald Mr Kincald is inviting drys who
wed transportation to the polls to
call either of two telephone num
bers, 260-W or 3I9-W, at anytime
ouring the voting hours Saturday,
with the promise that free transpor
tation to the voting places will be
provided quickly.
The drys are also runijlng a full- |
page advertisement in the Hera'd
roiiay liming the names of more
than 900 drys with the invitation to
citizens to )oin the arrti-wet forces
and vote out beer and wine.
The weis, too, are using advertis
ing space to point out their argu- ;
men is. Principally, their campaign
has been buito around the loss of rev
<-mie to the county and cities which
rhe voting out of beer will entail,
and the contention that making the
.sale of beer illegal will not stop its
sale and use. They contend that le- .
gal control is liest.
Should beer be voted out. licensed
dealers will have 60 days in which
to dispose of their stocks.
