No.C. IMF V It's Good-Bye Booze Now Unless Wilson Vetoes Bill Congress Enacts One of M..- Drastic Menures in History of -:ic. NO MORE QUAKTS KOK UMOX CO. PiTsident, However, Has lMwcr to Block Measure if He Cares To THE HISTOKY OF rKOIHDITIOX All Southern States Will He Dry Ex cept Florida, Louisiana and Texas. The biggest prohibition stride in a decade was made Wednesday when the House passed the Senate bill rais ins an ircn-clad barrier to the ship ping of whiskey inlo dry territory. It means, if the bill is not vetoed by President Wilson, that shipment to Union county, and the entire State, will be forbidden by Fcderr.l law. It U expected to receive the ap proval of President Wilson within a week, adding Immediately to the "bene dry" territory about one-third of continental United States. The provision is said to be the inert fur-reaching that could b" enact" by the Federal Uoverninea:, an-. ; sweeping as would be po?sdiic unul anv method short of a .ational pro hibition amendment. It would cut off entirely liquor Importation?, amount ing now to millions of dollars annual ly, into the large number of states which have fcrbidd?n mnniP'actu'c or Si'le, but have permitted impo.tutiim for personal use. Advocates of prohibition divided themselves over the expediency of the Fte; some friends of the cause de claring so drastic a law would have a reactionary effect. In the same way those who have opposed prohibition were not unanimous in opposition when the voto was taken. The roll cali brought cheers and cries of "horn dry" from all parts of the House, however, and the result was greeted with a noisy demonstration. The vote as officially announced was 321 to 72, but a recheek of the roll changed it to 319 to 72. Tarty lines were completely broken down, and numerous representatives from prohibition States wore recorded in the negative. So large a vote seldom is recorded on any measure. A provision barring lio.uor adver tist wonts trom the mr.ils la S?ate3 that prohibit such advertising In In cluded in tho measure, which came before the House as a rider to the an nual portoffice appropriation bill, in serted by the Senate last week on motion of Senator Reed, by n vote or 55 to 11. Although the appropria tion bill will go to eenference bocaurc the House disagreed to other S?nai.e amendments, there Is little possibili ty that the prohibition amondinont, concuircd In without change, b altered. Members of Couplers pp? taking it for granted that President Wilson will approve it. Although 80tti3 members have giv en as their opinion that the legisla tive features added to the postal bill would not be effective until July 1, the effective date of the appropria tion it carries, Senators and ltepro sentatives who are considered i.uthor itie. said tonight, that nil the legis lative riders, including the lieed pro hibition amendment, undoubtedly would become operative as soon '.3 the President has signed the measure. Dry" tdvocates were jubilant to night. Representative Webb of North Carolina, father of tho res'- -tlon for a National prohibiten amendment, declared the overwhel ming affirmative vote had killed the States' rights argument, and that the National amendment, already report ed favorably, certainly would pass the House at this session. Tho National legislative committee of the Anti-Saloon League Issued a etatement say ing today's action had "cleared the decks" for the National amendment. Many of tho "wet" advocates in Congress, particularly those with brewers among their constluents, also declared themselves much pleased uh thn nntpnme. The brewers are understood to have been In favor of the provision, both because it wouia curtail the so-called mail order busi ness carried on by houses dealing in splritous liquors, and because It might prevent States now "wet" from going 'dry" and indefinitely postpone Nation-wide prohibition. Distillers and whiskey dealers, on tha nthir hnnd. were vigorously op posed to the proposal. There are at this time, uepresemauve siivney n Kentucky, deoared during debate, more than 228.000.000 gallons of li quor in bond in the United States, and 40 per cent of such liquor here tofore has been sold In partially Mrv" territory. Under the amend ment concurred In today, all of this it Ua M In nhnnlntelv "wet" ter- IIIUOI WW J ' " - - - rltory probably, he argued, at a great loss. Mr. sneney maue a mine it tAmnt tn union it the nrorosal by ex tending the time when It would go into force for one year. This motion, like all others looking to amendment of the measure, was overwhelmingly defeated. Because of the defection among nmhihitinn advocates, the National Board of Temperance of the Metho dist Episcopal cnurcn, gave oui a formal statement tonight saying It had been "absolutely, unequivocally in favor of the anti-shipping amend intn onlv three states in the south Florida. Louisiana and Texas may liquor la any qusnlty be Import ed legally for personal use after June 30, next They alone nave retainea 1wat nnttnn. Congress, by 1U action la adopting the Heed amendment, makes abso lute the statewide prohibition legis lation of Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Mis sissippi. Thus they Join the '-bone dry" states, Arkansas and Tennessee, which already had enacted statutes forbidding the importation of liquor. The Florida legislnture at its bien nial session in April i3 expected to adopt a resolution providing for a referendum ca cute-wide prohibition although iLere aie only five out or 52 covmies in the state where liquor can b? sold legally. Dry forces In Louisiana are preparing to fight a state-v '.tie bill ai the next session of the legislature In 1318. About half of the Louisiana parishes are now dry. Virginia became dry only cn No vember 1 last, although the people had declared for prohibition by 30. 000 majority at a referendum In September. 1911. The prohibition law parsed by the legislature in Jan uary. 1016. permitted every head of a household to receive a shipment of one quart cf whiskey and one gallon of wine cr three gallons of beer -month. Sale and manufacture with in the state were prohibited. North Carolina became a prohibi tion state on January 1, lHOX after the people had ratified a state-wide bill bv a majority of 4 4.0r.u at a refer Hi-.luvs election in May. H'OK. T'." legislature pasaed a law in Uio 1 tiflK :.r.v individual to receive "... i .i ono ouart oi wnistioy or wine anu ue gallons of beer every 15 days. South Carolina adopted prohibition by n referendum vote in September. 1915. after having nart a dispensary svjitem since 1891. The law permit ted each person to receive a gallon of either whiskey beer or wine a month. Georgia has been classed a1? a dry state since January 1, 1908, but the prohibition law was not strictly en forced In some cf the cities until May 1 last, when a drastic law abolishing locker clubs became effective. Under this law each person was limited to a monthly shipment of two quarts of whiskey, or one gallon of wine or b0 pints of beer. Alabama enlisted under the prow bitlon banner In 1915 after reveral Ineffectual efforts to make the state dry under the administration of Gov ernor Comer from l!i07-ll. ine prohibition law permitted a citizen to receive a shipment of two quarts of whiskey, two gallons of wine or tour dozen bottles of beer every two weeks. Mississippi has prohibited the rum ufacture and sale of liquor within its borders rdnce 1908 but no limit was set cn Importation until 1914. when a law was passed restriotin each Individual to a shipment of one gallon at a time. This law was in- eifective as It did not say how of ten a shipment could be rrc?ived. In It'lG a more drastic law was paused making It unlawful for any person to receive more than a half gallon of vlnou3 liquor, or three gallons of malted or fermented liquors, or one quart of spirituous liquor wihtin lo days. Trie legislature also passed in 1916 an anti-liquor advertising law. Arkansas voted for etatc-v.ide pro hibitlon by 50,000 majority last fall nd became the first "bone dry" state in the South. Tennessee adopted prohibition In 1908, but the law was not enforced In the larger cities until 1915 when the legislature enacted nuisance and ouster laws aimed at city officials who failed to enforce the prohibi tion laws. At a recent session the legislature passed a "bone dry" bill prohibiting the shipment of liquor into the state after March 1 next. TIs tho Last Straw; They Shall Not Steal Our l'ig. "The Charlotte Observer a few days ago made editorial mention cf a hog raised and sold by one of the Bryants of Providence,' that It was so large that It had to be cut up to be sold," says the Waxhaw Enter- prlre. "The hams weighed 58 pounds each. The Observer says that 'there are not many counties In the State that will raise such hogs.' Now, v e have a well developed hunch that this pig was a Union county product, grown by Mr. John W. Howie of Pleasant Grove. At least he raised an 800-pound shoat and sold It last fall to Bob Bryant of Providence, ana Bryant put It on exhibition at the Mecklenburg county fair. The hog mentioned by the Observer might have been another one, but our hunch says It was the self came nog, fatten ed on Union county corn, molasses and acorns, and what else it takes to fatten eight hundred pounders. "For too long Union county has quietly submitted to Charlotte ana Mecklenburg taking credit for our cwn rr.-at achievements. Charlotte took Judge Little and Johnson Me Call, and we did not protest; she took Plunimer Stewart and we sub mitted; but this Is the last straw, and we will not pass over without protest the attempt of the Observer to steal our pig." Warning Against Iloosters. Attention of the farm loan board has been called to several instances in which individual communities have endeavored to organize farm loan as soclatlons mainly to create Jobs for themselves or their friend:?. Warn Ings have been sent out to the farm ers that the farm loan act provides only for small salaries for the secretary-treasurer of the various associa tions and fees to the members of pp pralsal committees. "Any nssocla tion which gives evidence of having been orcanlzed for purposes of prl rate profit will be given very careful scrutiny before a tharter Is granted," members of the board aanounee.
