B pr $1.00 A YEAR IN ADVANCE IN THE Buncombe J Raises Is? | With Bufieombe county register- | jug a majority of nearly OX thousand against the- establishment of ABC Stores, the wet and dry issue was " brought squarely before the State again. The control advocates have been ( trying ever since the 1935 General < Assembly to get a foothold for the 1 ABC stores in the great west In * every county in which an election } has been held, west of Durham, the } prohibition advocates have won vie- * tories. Mecklenburg and Catawba i both turned thumbs down on the proposal, and severaj counties east * ot Raleigh voted against the control f .tores. The advocates of control j * pinned their hopes of getting a foot- 1i hold in the west upon Buncombe. An f election was called in Swain, just to ' the west of us, and the sentiment ap- ? pcared so overwhelming against the I control stores, that the board of elec- j tions called off the referendum. Jhat * left Buncombe still to vote, and city 3 districts have always been more fa- t vorable to the legal sale of liquor ? than country districts." Asheville is s grown to be a sizable city, and the AECers had hopes there. The city c i failed to give anywhere near as large IV 1 an ABC majority as they had hoped,!J I and the country districts and smaller J l ' tnwns of Buncombe piled up stagger-1" I ing majorities for the status quo. 1 The dry line in the west remains E intact. If it had been broken, the probabilities are that other western counties would have said "what's the use?" and would have established ABC stores in the near future.*V V ' But that is all in the past Bun- ~ combe held the line for the drys? Any when it failed to crumble over v there, the hope of liquor control any- j where in the west went a glimmering. " .? Not only that. The fight that certain western members of the General Assembly of last winter put up letting down hard liquors, aroused much of the I Slate, and the tremendous majority I Buncombe piled/ up, leads many peo- I pie to believe that these westerners I were really speaking and voting the I ? i?t nAnniA nf the moun- | sentiments ui ui^ tains. That has given heart to the I drys throughout North Carolina anc F I has thrown a fear into the legal liquo iadvocates that it may not be Ion* I until the whole State will be given I chance to vote on the issue, and tha, I when it does, North Carolina as ; I unit may return to the prohibition I column. At least that is the way the writ- I ers t? the papers from Kaleigh ant I other points where they keep their' I hands on the pulse of the people are | interpreting the fight in the last Gen- I eral Assembly, and the Buncombe I*. vote. ' We shall probably hear much about I.' this during the primary campaign I" next year, as the voters choose the! officers for the State. The writers | say that there is no doubt that the! pendulum has begun to swing back I toward prohibition, not only in North I' Carolina, but also in many parts off the country.
