Upshaw Delivers Eloquent Address Against Liquor In a speech Wednesday night, September 17, at the Highlands, Baptist church Wm, I). Upshaw of Atlanta, former congressman and international temperance lecturer said Highlands was a "launching port in a, crusade for cleaning up the Tar Heel domain from Mur phy to i Wilmington." After preliminary remarks by the Rev. J G. Benfield, pstor of the church, the Opening ' prayer was led by Rev. J. S. Higgins, who in troduced the speaker. Challenge Senator Reynplds The Hon. Upshaw was strong in his denunciation of what he term ed "liquorized politicians who have disgraced this good state in de fiance of the vote of the people", and challenged any reputable wet, especially' singling out Senator "Bob" Reynolds to "meet me in debate and defend North Caro lina's present state of liquorized anarchy." Speaking further Mr: Upshaw said, "H love North Caro l'na; for many years my residence was in the Queen City of Asheville. I have paid glowing tribute widely over America to the sturdy man hood and womanhood of this great state. More than 30 years ago I spoke in the court house in Ral eigh the last right before the bal lots fell in the battle that ban ished l'quor by. 40,000 majority, be ing introduced that night by the stalwart Christian layman, Need- ham Broughton, uncle . of North Carolina's Christian governor, and following that diy victory the schools and good roads of this state leaped grandly forward and ahead of any ofher state in the union. Vote Never Repealed "That vote. I remind you, has never been repealed. In add'tion to that. North Carolina voted 184,000 majority against repealing the 18th amendment. That was an addition al mandate to keep the state dry, and yet, your timorous, hesitating legislature met and told the .sober, God-fearing voteTs to go where it doesn't snow,. "Anv man." declared Upshaw with fiery eloquence, "who would make beautiful North Carolina a liquorized state by voting to legal ize liauor shoos that were voted out by 40,000 majority liquor shops that prosper on financial robbery and human debauchery simply cannot be trusted as a leader in government and as an example for our youth." The speaker said "that for every dollar revenue any state rece'ved from the sale of liquor, it pays out more than ten in the suffering and wreckage following in the wake of its sale."
