Watts Law Reduces North Carolina Liquor Distilleries
The annual report of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue shows strong growth in temperance in North Carolina and a sharp decline in liquor businesses under the Watts law. For the year ending June 30, 1902 the state has 724 saloons, down from 1,185 two years prior. Retail licenses dropped to 817, rectifiers fell from 40 to 27, wholesale dealers from 39 to 25. Distilleries shrink from 869 total to 392, with fruit stills down from 442 to 326 in total and 298 in operation. Despite the shrinkage North Carolina still has more registered distilleries than any other state.
