Charlotte, April 2:!.-"Prohibition
in Charlotte is almost, as mythical
as the Mecklenburg Declaration of
Independence."
The Charlotte Ministerial Associ
ation is up In arms against the above
statement appearing in the colummi
of one of the Richmond morning pa
pers, nnd has formulated the follow
ing vigorous answer:
"We unhesitatingly say that there
is no comparison of conditions now
and when we had 18 saloons In this
city. There were streets which
ladies did not dare to walk. Now
they can walk anywhere on any
streets .without walking through
crowds of llquor-drlnking men con
gregated about saloon doors.
"We also affirm that the improve
ment in moral conditions Is ut least
a hundred per cent, over the reign
of tlie saloons. Prosperity since the
coming of prohibition, has been un-
paralled and we challenge a contra
diction of theso facts. Never has
Hie city shown such marvelous and
rapid strides In all lines o industry
and business.
"While there have been lorao pe
rinds that liquor-drinking was mani
fest, owing to some defects in our
prohibition law, and some laxness of
law enforcement, we unhesitatingly
affirm that prohibition has been a
most striking and signal success in
Ciiar'ottei and as to state prohibition
we .-refer to the report of the' al-tOi-ney
general, T. V. llickett. which
has been published throughout the
state, that under stale prohibition,
crime has been greatly reduced in
ihe state, as court records' shov.'.
.'Mid as a miTiii'r viiiinciii ion hi ciisj
