“Rowan Voting on ABC Stores” from the May 31, 1947, issue of the
Statesville Record Landmark
SALISBURY, May 31—Rowan County voters today went to the
polls to vote on legal state liquor stores after a spirited campaign between
wet and dry forces.
Rowan would be the first county west of Durham to adopt alcoholic
beverage control stores if the issue carries.
The vote was authorized by an act of the recent General
Assembly.
The church league headed by the Rev. Archie Ellis of the
First Baptist Church led the dry fight.
County election officials said the vote would be decided by
a simple majority of ballots cast and that a majority of registered voters
would not be necessary.
