Floyd Chadwick, secretary of the North Carolina Citizens Council, Raleigh, in answer to a question air? that was circulated in this county a few days ago. Stating that a request for a poll had come from Cherokee County, the following questions were asked: X. Are you interested in helping promote the tourist business in W NC? 2. Do you believe more In dustries should be attracted to j Cherokee County? 3. Does your i town need the tax revenue from legal beer sales (about $1 per cap ital? and 4. If my town should vote on the legal sale of beer, I would | vote for it , or against The letter from the above groups was signed by officers and leaders, The Rev. A. B. Lovell, Peyton G. I vie, Paul McClure, the Rev. J. E. Cable, the Rev. Fred B. Lunsford, the Rev. A. G. Brooks, the Rev. J. Alton Morris, the Rev. John A. Richardson, Jr., and the Rev. J H. Rogers. It reads as follows: Many of our citizens have re ceived your inquiry concerning tourists, industries and the legai sale of beer in our town and coun ty. We personally would like to in form you and your organization that the people of Murphy and Cherokee County have already voiced their opinion at the polls by a majority of more than ten to one concerning the legal sale of beer and wine in this county. It is hoped by good citizens of this section that this will be evidence enough to avoid our having to ex press our views a second time con-1 cerning this matter. However, If your so-called ''Citizens Council" insist on calling another election we shall again, beyond a shadow of a doubt, show you where we stand on this issue. "Are you interested in helping promote the tourist business in North Carolina?" The answer is "Yes" providing we have tourists of noble character and high Ideals to visit our section. The answer is "No" if we have to bring them here by offering them a bottle of beer or a glass of wine. The good citi zens of our section are not inter ested in promoting beer-guzzeling cocktail-sipping parties to attract tourists to frequent our beautiful section of North Carolina. "Do you believe more industry should be attracted to Cherokee County?" The answer is "Yes" providing Ach Industries are for the purpose of upbuilding our community and giving to our chil dren a better place to live by giv ing their parents wholesome em ployment. The answer is "No" if such industries are for the pur pose of giving more employment for more money to be turned ov r to the malt brewery industry and to break up homes and be a curse to our community by helping le galize intoxicating beverages. "For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty." Proverbs 23:21. "Does your town need the tax from legal beer sales (about one "Does your town need the dollar per capita)?" "No" a thou sand times "No"! One dollar per capita would mean between $2500 and $3,000 for Murphy and approx imately $20,000 for Cherokee Coun ty. This is mere pittance compar ed with the heartaches, the brok en homes, the orphan children such business would cause. This i> to say nothing of the moral ani spiritual decay that would hi caused by legalizing the -1* beer. If our town should vote the legal sale of beer we vote against it fight it noon, and night. In aaam of season, byj Pie. by word of i .'table. It is our desire to say a further word. There is no such thing as legal control of beer and ale. Wc admit that there is some Illegal handling of sbch in dry counties but statistics show that there is more bootlegging in towns and counties under the control of the A. B. C. Board than in Dry coun ties. Furthermore, you say your or ganization is made up of "several thousand citizens none of whom are connected with the malt bev erage industry." This we seriously doubt. You further state that "in quiries have come from Cherokee County having us to poll the dtf zens on this question." We would like for it to be known that the good citizens of Cherokee County do not consider citizens who would want to turn loose beer and wine in our community as very valuable citizens. "Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging, and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise." Proverbs 20:1. Just one other word, please. Our nation is in great danger of future decay when the men of our ndtfon seek to put the bottle to the mouth of our people. But when our na tion has fallen to-the level that her we?nhoo< takes the Initiative in returning alcoholic beverages to decent communities in our state lour fear is that there is very | little hope for the future of Amer ica unless somehow we can pre vail upon our people, with the womanhood leading the way, to turn unto God. "Woe unto him that giveth his neighbor drink, that putteet thy bottle to him and makest him drunken also." Habakkuk 2:15. Kester Resigns As Director Of Folk School At a meeting of the Board of Di rectors of the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brass town on Sat urday, Nov. 10, Howard Kester, the director, resigned. Mr. Kester states that his resig nation came as a result of the di vision within the Board of Direc tors regarding his plans for devel oping a school-community program He says that he did not feel that he could continue to direct the school program without the full support of the board.
