THE ONLY EVENING CHARLOTTE, N. C, MONDAY EVENING, THE PROHIBITION PENS 0 Special to The News. Salisbury, N. C, March 23. The prohibition forces of Rowan county have cause to rejoice over the suc cess of the formal opening of their campaign Saturday. When Judge Thomas J. Shaw, of Greensboro, began speaking in the court house at 11 o'clock there were more than 500 who heard him. The meeting was opened with prayer by Rev. Dr. J. M. Lyerly, president of Crescent Academy and Business Col lege, after which A. H. Price, intro duced Judge Shaw. The speaker said he regarded this prohibition question as the most important that will con front this generation. He said that it was his personal observation while on the superior court bench that from 75 to 80 per cent of all the criminal eases tried before him were traceable to whiskey and that for funds from whiskey license from two to five dollars were taken out in the way of court' costs, fees, etc. His address was a splendid effort and did great good for the cause. United States Judge Jeter C. Pritch ard arrived on the western train from Asheville at noon and spoke in the court house at 2 o'clock, and no speaker has ever been greeted by a larger audience at an indoor gather ing in this city, with the exception of William Jennings Bryan in the campaign of 190G. There were a number of ladies present but the bulk of the crowd was made up of mechanics and farmers, actual voters, who are to render the verdict on the 2Gth of May. A synopsis of Judge Pritchard's address would do him injustice, suffice it to say that no more powerful or convincing temper ance argument has ever been heard in this county. The afternoon meeting was presided over by President W. B. Smoot, of the Anti-Saloon League, and was opened with prayer by Rev. Dr. Byron C. Clarke, of the First Presbyterian Church. Judge Pritchard was intro duced -by Hon. John S. Henderson, former Congressman from this dis trict. Another big temperance rally is booked to be held at Enoch Baptist Churcii, seven miles above Salis bury next Sunday. R. Lee Wright, former state senator, will make an address in the morning, and Presi dent Smoot of the League, wilfl speak in the afternoon. Among the big guns who are yet to invade Rowan in the interest of prohibition are ex-Governor Aycock, Governor Glenn, Rev. J. W. Ham, who will spend a week here, and oth ers. There will be scores of address es by lesser lights; meetings by the ladies, temperance sermons from al most every pulpit in the county, lit erature galore, and it is expected to see the greatest campaign ever pulled off here, not even excepting the memorable white supremacy cam paign. The anti-prohibition people are also hard at work and have opened up state headquarters here with Mayor A. H. Boyden in charge. In fact in this county a battle royal will be fought, as it is expected that those opposing prohibition will center their energies here. Already anti-prohibition literature is flooding the state, a big portion of this coming from Chicago. New Incorporations. Special to The News. Raleigh, N. C, March 23.
