Police Seized 300 Quarts of Scotch Whiskey at Shriners Convention, May 27, 1923

Gastonia is likely to get a reputation as an inhospitable city. During the recent gathering of Shriners in that city unfeeling, unsympathetic, and discourteous policemen seized 300 quarts of Scotch whiskey. We wouldn’t blame the Shriners one bit if they blacklisted Gastonia as a convention city.
