At an adjourned term of the County Court, held on Tuesday, April 3, 1888, there were present Albert Reeves, Presiding Judge, and John A. DeLong, Associate Judge; W. H. A. Gillespie, Sheriff, and Wm. P. Robin- son, Clerk. When, among others, the following proceedings were had:


"In the matter of petition for election on local option:


"Now comes John S. Allen, Sr., and others, and presents to the court a petition signed by 585 qualified voters of the County of Harrison, asking the court to order an election to determine whether or not spirituous and intoxicating liquors, including wine and beer, should be sold within the limits of said county, said election to be ordered and conducted under the provisions of an Act of the Legislature of said state approved April 5, 1887, entitled an Act for the preventing of the evils of intemperance by local option in any county in this state and in cities of 2,500 inhabitants or more, by submitting the question of prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors, to the qualified voters of such county or city, to provide penalties for its violation and for other purposes. And it appearing to the court that more than one-tenth of the qualified voters of said county have signed said petition and it is further proven to the court that there is no city or town in said County of Harrison having 2,500 or more inhabitants ; It is therefore ordered by the court that an election be held in said Harrison County on Saturday, May 12, 1888, at the usual voting precincts for holding general elections for state officers, to determine whether or not spirituous and intoxicating liquors shall be sold within the limits of such county. Such election shall be conducted, the returns thereof be made, and the results thereof ascertained and determined in accordance in all

respects with the laws of this state governing general elections for county officers. That all persons voting at such election who are against the sale of intoxicating liquors shall have written or printed on their ballots the words, 'against the sale of intoxicating liquors,' and those who are in favor of the sale of intoxicating liquors shall have written or printed on their ballots, the words 'for the sale of intoxicating liquors.'


"It is further ordered that notice of said election be given by publica- tion in the Bethany Republican for four consecutive weeks, the last inser- tion to be within ten days next before said election."


At special term of the County Court held May 21, 1888, appears the following record :

"We, the undersigned A. A. Williams and T. B. Ellis, Justices of the Peace of Bethany Township, Harrison County, Missouri, and W. P. Robin- son, County Clerk of said county, hereby certify that on May 16, 1888, we canvassed the vote of the various townships cast at the special election held in Harrison County, Missouri, on Saturday, May 12, 1888, for and against the sale of intoxicating liquor and find the following :

"In witness whereof we have hereunto set our hands this 16th day of May, 1888.


"A. A. Williams, J. P. "T. B. Ellis, J. P. "W. P. Robinson, County Clerk."


It appearing to the court from the certificate of the County Clerk and the two Justices of the Peace that assisted him in canvassing and casting up the votes given at the special election held on May 12, 1888, in Harrison County, Missouri, that there were cast against the sale of intoxicating liquors at said election 1,488 votes and for the sale of intoxicating liquors 1,036 votes, making a majority of 452 votes against the sale of intoxicat- ing liquor, it is ordered that the said certificate of said Clerk and Justices of the Peace be entered of record and it is further ordered, that this order showing the result of said special election shall be published once a week for four consecutive weeks in the Bethany Republican, being the same newspaper in which the notice of said election was published.


The Act of 1887 above contained a provision that if a majority of the votes cast at such election be against the sale of intoxicating liquors that it should not be lawful for any person within the limits of the county to directly or indirectly sell, give away or barter in any manner what- ever intoxicating liquors or beverage containing alcohol in any quantity whatever, under penalties prescribed.


At the time of the adoption of the Act by the county and prior thereto the sale of intoxicating liquors was under dramshop license therefor, which of course was wiped out by the adpotion of the local option law.


But there was also in effect a law governing druggists and pharmacists which permitted the sale by them under written prescription of a registered


227


HISTORY OF HARRISON COUNTY


and practicing physician given to an actual patient and it was thought by many that this permission was abrogated by the absolute forbidding clause above quoted, but this mooted question soon reached the Supreme Court for decision where it was decided, under the rule that laws made upon the same subject should be construed together that the local option law was not aimed at the permission of the pharmacist but only at the general traffic.


This local option was considered in force and prosecuted under for several years, but finally doubts arose as to the sufficiency of the length of notice of the required publication in adoption, and it was abandoned, and for a time prosecutions thereunder were discontinued.


But in 1899 another petition for submission of said law to an election was filed, and an order was made submitting the adoption of said law to such vote, said election was held pursuant to said order on December 9, 1899, and resulted in the adoption of said law by a majority of 652 votes, 1,445 for adoption and 793 against adoption, and it again became the law of the county and remained in force until the taking effect of prohibition on January 16, 1920.

Tuesday, March 9, 1915, Company G held an election at their armory for the purpose of electing a first lieutenant, the vacancy being caused by the resignation of Lieutenant F. M. Frisby. Lieutenant W. P. Bryant was nominated and as no other nominations were announced was elected first lieutenant, unanimously. Lieutenant Bryant made good as second lieuten- ant, and was well deserving of his new office. The office of first lieutenant being filled the second lieutenant's office was open and Sergeant Axline, Sergeant Kavanaugh, Corporal Crouch were nominated. Sergeant Axline being elected by a vote of twenty-two of the members of Company G. The Bethany papers in speaking of the promotion of Axline said: "There was not a better qualified or more deserving member of the company than Sergeant Axline for second lieutenant."


There were several non-commissioned offices vacant at this time and were appointed in the near future best men of company. Then followed a period of weekly drills and a state encampment and on June 8, 1916, Captain Wilson received official communication that men would receive $1.00 per drill and same to go into effect July 1.


In June, 1916, Company G was called to the colors by order of the President and sent to the Mexican border to protect the lives and property of the citizens of the United States from outrages that were being com- mitted by Mexican outlaws.


Company G, National Guard of Missouri, with headquarters in Bethany


230


HISTORY OF HARRISON COUNTY


were ready to move to their point of mobilization, Nevada, Missouri, and all members of the company who were willing to take the oath of loyalty to the United States, were under arms to be sent to the Mexican border. At this time there was no law to compel any member of the National Guard to take the oath and leave his state to engage in warfare.


A banquet and entertainment was given Company G Tuesday, June 20, 1916, under the auspices of Bethany Commercial Club. There were fathers, mothers, wives, brothers, sisters and sweethearts at the enter- tainment which followed the banquet, and while the occasion was a sad one, all were of the opinion that "our boys" were going forth in defense of the grand old Flag-the Flag of flags.


C. J. Carter acted as master of ceremonies and the following program was carried out:


Company G marched from the dining room to auditorium of hall while the Bethany Orchestra played the Star Spangled Banner.


Address by Mayor Roleke. His remarks were well received by all. He read the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted:


"Whereas-Company G, National Guard of Missouri, has been called to protect and defend the flag of our country, because of differences arising between our neighbor republic, Mexico and ourselves ; be it


"Resolved-We the citizens of Bethany and Harrison County, State of Missouri, most heartily endorse the patriotism and readiness shown by Company G, National Guard of Missouri, to protect the flag, which stands for Freedom, Home and Country. Be it further


"Resolved-While we regret the unfortunate circumstances necessit- ating this call to arms, which takes from our midst the youth and bloom of our manhood. Having true confidence in their ability, bravery and pa- triotism, we humbly bow and bid them God-speed."

A number of "G" boys signed up for service out of the state for dura- tion of their original enlistment only, and as their time expired they re- turned home and took up their various walks in life, some in stores, in banks, in offices, others back to their work in school. But in March, 1917, all the boys were home from border service. At this time another great banquet was given by the Commercial Club and many had the opportunity to hear Captain Wilson's interesting speech wherein he gave a brief synopsis of what his company had done. Captain Wilson saying "Not a better company on border."


SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR


Company D, Fourth Regiment, United States Volunteers.


When the United States declared war against Spain, Harrison County responded promptly. Company D, Fourth Regiment, under Capt. J. F. Slinger, left Bethany for service on May 10, 1898. This company spent several months in various military cantonments, although it never saw any service out of the United States.


Tuesday, May 10, 1898, is a day long remembered in the history of Bethany for it was the day when Company D, Fourth Regiment Missouri National Guards started for the Missouri troops rendezvous at Jefferson Barracks, St. Louis. The Saturday before Captain Slinger had received orders to have his company ready to entrain on Tuesday, and immediately plans were laid to give the boys a pleasant send-off. A dinner was pre- pared by the Bethany ladies and served in the armory. Promptly at noon Company D assembled at the bugle call and Chief Marshall R. H. Wren and his aides, John M. McPherson, Jere Weidner and Joseph Newland,


235

formed the procession to escort the company to the depot. It is said that in that day there had never before been such a crowd in Bethany.

WORLD WAR.

It is not in the province of this history or within the purview of this short chapter to attempt a history of the great World War which threat- ened the very foundation of civilization and affecting every nation in the world.


President Wilson, in his speech before Congress, April 6, 1917, used the following eloquent and forceful words which found a spontaneous response throughout all America :


"Let everything that we say, my fellow countrymen, everything that we henceforth plan and accomplish, ring true to this response till the majesty and might of our concerted power shall fill the thought and utterly defeat the force of those who flount and misprize what we honor and hold dear.


"Germany has once more said that force, and force alone, shall decide whether justice and peace shall reign in the affairs of men, whether right as America conceives it, and dominion, as she conceives, shall determine the destinies of mankind.


"There is, therefore, but one response for us; force, force to the utmost, force without stint or limit, the righteous and triumphant force which will make the law of the world, and cast selfish dominion down in the dust."


Harrison County generously and nobly did her part in the great World War in both men and money.
