The learned author of “Around the Shores of Bedaque Bef-Sussusserldo Pioneer. December 8, i895) tells us that the old chprch was torn down and the frame used to build the temperance hell. Others think that the old chapel was hauled up to Centreviile intact and placed elong- slde its towering successor Jtcrwerds the school separated the two buildiiue-where it must have felt a. twinge or two of regret that. worthy salts use might be. its glory had dwarfed. _

This was followed in turn by carriages, certs. gigs and wsggons filled with happy people, big and little, for whom a tee-party was the biggest thing of the summer end a band something never heard before in Bedeque. Between five and six hundred peo- ple were fed that day. and as many addressed. with Rev. James Btlclt- ley the Methodist minister end W. G.

Prohibition Alliatfon

s penance smidn-ient on the Island wee feat coming to e heed. The continent-wide abuse of liquor in the first hill of the ineteenth century made it easy for those who sponsTed reel control to get a hearing. The Sons of Temperance organization on the Island was only four years old in i862 when it petitioned the Government and had s bill introduced to provide for prohibition similar to that in effect in Maine. Massachusetts and Rhoda Island. The measure whcls , ’ the Assembly with a gcod majority lost out in the Council by one vote. Next yeas- the drinklrm element ” "ed their forces to etevo off any effective action for nearly thirty years till iihe Scott Act became law.

Bedequs-had its share of drinking and sometinses it would seem almost morethsn its quote of taverns. ‘Thomas Hooperb licensed nus at antreville provided bed. board and alcoholic refreshment fes- ell travellers in the period fromeerly in the eighteen-thirties till the eighteen-and-fifties. ‘Pruemenk Carrier was e tavern site very early in Sesrletcwn history withl Matthew Atkinson the min-keeper in 1M8 when his farm was for eele. The very eerlieatdlcensee to. sell liquor in Bedeque of which there are records were those issued in 17H, to "Peter iidsybey-Bedeque Tavern.” and “Mary Branoossb-Bedeque hvera" However-the essctlooationoftlseeeis diimcuittcescertaininetime when Bedeque meant anywhere along the shore of Bedeque Bey. 1n- deed, as recently as i060, William Mscllwen (fether-ln-lew of R.

His house. built in 1M0. now the nil-eds residence for Prince County Hospital, received the name "Siurunerelde House" on account of its sunny location. As en altemetivefor Green's shore. the name Bunnies-aide was partly fathered by Pet Power, early poet-master. who marked it on the mail beg which went back end forth to Cherlotto- town twige a week by stage coach. The name eocnvcaught on. though foe- nine os- ten years the Bummeraide people and the Charlottetown press continued to cell it either "Green's Shore" or “Sumsneraide Be- deqise." The first‘ time tihe name Sssnsmerdde appeared inprint is be- lieved to be in the death notice of Joseph Green's aged mother (Mhtthe Oat) the first home-maker at Green's Shore :- '

The erowth of eiunnnerdrle in thendccedo 1040-50 very effectively put the desmeron eny hopes that the Bedeque of’ Homer's Cormr and Pope's wharf might develop into a mall town‘. The Popes had out- grown Bcdeque. Three ambitious men of superior ability and educa- tion found s. store and e shipyard, (from the vicinity of which the best of the pine had been cut). outlets too small for-their dreams. Wil- llem Henry, the eldest of Joesph Pope's sons went on from Bedeoue school to e legal education in Izigisnd following which he settled in Charlottetown, combi ' e. luw business with the editorship of ‘Hie Islander, during which he found time to help father Confederation and to represent Bcdeque for various terms in the House of Assembly.

Joseph Pope. the father of these clever sons. was the lest to leave Bedeque. l-Ie dimoeed of his P. B. l. interests. "Pope House’? at Bedeque went to Summersldc end framed the wee kirk of the Church od Scotland which still stands on Kirk Street. His Bodcque seat in the Assembly which he had filled for twenty-three years went vacant; and his comfort- oble upholstered pew in the Methodist chapel was taken over by Wm. G. Strong, for Joseph Pope with his third wife Elise. left Bedequedn i853 for Australia to show himself as adventurous as his son James C. who had gone to California on the Fanny. Diver-ted from his destina- tion, he spent fifteen years in Liverpool before returning to the Island to see both his sons exceed his , 1 political achievements.

With the Popes gone from Bedeque it was not long before the Customs House was moved to Simmer-side. Ship-building. apart from‘ three brigs built by Wm.‘ C.‘ etrons on Wright's Creek and the build- ing of aimli schoone s. was finished. Bhipwrights, blaoksmithe, block- mekers and "ship carpenters settled down to fuu-time farming or mov- ed awey. Wm. Mallet, foreman in Pope's yeid settledpn e farm in Bearletown.
