Abstract:
In the 1930s western portion of the state was still a dry region. Buncombe and other counties west of the Blue Ridge Mountains remained under Republican control and a big reason for continued prohibition. Women's Temperance Union banners were awarded to Yancey County for highest percentage of dry votes and Buncombe County for largest majority of dry votes in 1908.
