EXPONENT OF TRAN SYLVANIA COUNTY. The Aim u Frankness and Sincerity. VOLUME XXVI. BREVARD, N. C., FRIDaV, SEPTEMEEa 2 1921 Number 34 LAWANDORDE LEAGUE PROTESTS is Interested In Tlie Enforeement Of The Prohibition Laws — Not Modem Styles. REFUSED TO BE THE GOAT OVER THE BLOOMER ADJATATION. SUCCESSFE SINGING SmPMANBACK ATTOXAWAY Editor Brevard News: The uriter of this article has been informed and understands that it is being freely circulated all over the city that the dt'crease this summer in the patronajre of the camps was the result of the activities of the Law and Order Leajjae. One auto public ser vice firm made the statement that it was the cause of the decroase in his bu sincss, another soft drink firm sta. ted it had caused the camps to install a soft drink stand of their ©wn and movinjr pictures and had injured bu siness in jieneral in Brevard. That your last editorial touchisng upon the discourteous treatmejit of the ca^fos was aimed at and a result of the oppos ition to the camps of tlie Law and Order Leajjue. I have been present at every meet ing of the Law and Order League 'inco its ofsranization, also a member of the executive commitee and I de- ■^iro to most emphxiically deny the fharji'es a? absolutely false and with out any foundatic.ii whatsoever to stand upon the .tri',tranization has never even I the camps, pro or con. I have investiijated the .source of this runvor and the facts as jratheved are as folio us; Some time last winter a >.‘c.mmittee composed of la'ii' , , n'presenlin'i- some of the clu'b? of the city presciite.i to the board of aldermen in a prot-;'ft airainrt the camp wearin,ir bloomers and rolled down j^fekines in the town. The aldernuMi. I understand, refissed to pass proh;bitin.!i the v,'c;:rinL'' of bloomers an | stockinjcs bu" they d’d instruct the secretary, Mr. Lathrop, so one of the aldermen informs me-, r?' "wn ite the mana,£rtT of the Keystone Camp requesting- an ad- herance to the wishes of the Com mittee of Ladies. The Law and Order League or the Law EnforceTiTon^ Lea^tie is precisely what its name implies, and its princi pal function &*i present is the f.up- pression of the illicit manufactory and sale of w’tiiskey and the convic tion and pui'.ishment of those who fio- late tht' laws now contained upon our statue books. When these objects have been attt^ined, then it mny deavor to pertuado our /city fathers to enact our ordinance as to v/oman’s apparel — but prohibition enforce ment i.*> more important. We firmly believe that the rejmrt was purposely circulated by lawdess element to create public opinion an- ta.uonistic to the Law and Order Lea- jTue to frustrate their efforts to brinj’ the ‘boo'/.e li'/ards’ to justice.
