North Carolina Prohibition Bill Heads to Vote in August
The Long Dowd measure would ban manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors in North Carolina starting January 1 1909 after a statewide vote on the first Thursday in August. It would permit medical prescriptions, wine or cider production with limits, and would create strict penalties and record keeping for druggists. Local and county authorities are empowered to enforce and tailor the act, with an election framework to decide adoption and details for ballot.
