Bro. GoRMAS: As / have seen no &C
count Of the progress Of the Sons of Tenn
perance in this county, it may not be amiss
to give your numerous readers a short histo-
ry Of the Temperance Reformation in its
present form in this (Greene) county. In
September 1913, Bro. Pearce, the Travel
ing Agent, visited Hookerton, in this coun-
ty, and organized Hookerton Division. No.
.73, and afterwards visited Snow Hill and
organized the Division there. Since that
time, our progress has been onward the
two Divisions number now about one hun
dred.
On the 18th ultimo, that good and great
man, P. S White, lectured at Snow Hill,
and since that time there has been consider
able increase in both Divisions. The big
drops are beginning to fall, and through
his influence, since that time, we have had
a Union of Daughters organized at Snow
Hill, called Hope Union, No. 8, with good
prospects ahead. The good effects are not
only being felt in the social circle, but they
are manifest in almost every department Of
society. During the eleetioneering cam.
paign, last Summer, there was not a treating
candidate in the county, and the result was
that there was but one fight during the cam
paign. At the last term of our county
court, there was not a single p%resentnen
before the Grand Jury, and 1 understand
there were but few presentments at the Su
perior Court in October. But that is no
all it is with the greatest difficulty that h
cenSe to retail liquors can be obtained. Al
the Magistrates were on the bench to trans
act some business last court, and a Demi
john of a retailer, asked for a renewal
his license, and there were but four of them
t who voted to grant them. Now, | woul
: ask if four out of twelve or fifteen Magi'
trates all en- the bench at the same time, nav
a right. to grant license when the rest Of
1 jeet, or does it not take a majority?
r you will send Bro. White this way again
j think we will succeed in shutting up a
, those +" breathing holes of hell" as he just
e calls them. G.

HENDERSON, Nov. 18th 1850.

Bro. German: Yesterday was a day
that will long be remembered by the
Sons of this Division. According to
previous arrangements, the Committee
appointed went down to Warrenton on
Friday, to receive and escort, P. M. w.
P. Philip S. White to this place.
About 1-2 past eleven o'clock, his ar
sival was announced, and soon the pro.
cession was formed, and preceded by a
band of music engaged for the occasion,
marched to Hayes Hotel, to receive
him, and from thence to the Rail Road
Warehouse, where a stand had been e.
rected, and seats prepared sufficient to
accommodate 400 persons, which were
soon filed and a large number were CON-
PEELED to stand, or occupy such seats as
could be found amongst the freights pill
ed up on one side and in the rear Of the
stand.
The opening Ode having been sung
the w. P. introduced Bro. White to the
audience, who entertained them in
speech replete with arguments, inter
: spersed with wit, humor, and anecdote
bv which their attention was kept en-
t chained by the speaker, for about al
. hour and a half. At the conclusion,
call was made and six individuals pre-
t scented their petitions for membership
and anumber of gentlemen determine,
a to petition for a Charter to form a Di

Our Division is on the increase union
and harmony prevail amongst US, and.
while there is great opposition manifes-

with pleasing anticipations to the day
when all opposition should be %subdued,

MECHANICAL MEETING

An adjourned meeting ofthe Mechan-
les of Fayetteville was held on Saturday
evening, Both ult.; TO take into consider
alton the growing evil of free negro
competition in the mechanical afts.-
The Chairman stated the object of the
meeting to be, to take proper measures
for memorializing the Legislature Of
North Carolina in regard TO free negroes !;
and to request that the present corpora.
ton laws be enforced upon this class of
persons.
The Committee appointed at a previ-
ous meeting to take the object into con-
sideration, after stating that they had
correspondent with citizens of all the
principal towns in the State, and found
them anxious for a reform, submitted
the following report:
That we recommend to the Mechan-
les of North Carolina to memoralize the
Legislature Of the State to make it in
cumbent upon the County Courts to re-
quire every free negro in the State tc
register his or her name, and to lay &
tax upon each one for the purpose of aid.
ing the emigration Of such free negroe.
as will emigrate TO some other State, o.
to some other country /; and to require
that all children of free negroes, 8 year.
old, born after Jan'y LIST, 1850. shall b,
bound out TO some responsible white
person for nlnety-nine years.
We further recommend the mechanic
to pray the Legislature not to pass an,
more special acts emancipating slaves.
That we further Recommend them t
, pray the Legislature to seriously consid
er the propriety of furnishing aid I
such free negroes as desire to emigrat
to Liberia, or some other country, an
have not the means to do SO. q
We further recommend them to re

r more onerous than the tax on merchar

WILMINGTON, Dec. q, 1o0U.
Bro. GoRMAN: The Sd day of Decem-
Der. 1850, is a day that will be long remem-
bered here. I never in all my life have
seen a Division opened with such bright
prospects. Men of all societies, except the
Roman Catholics, joined in with us-Epis-
copalians, Methodists, Baptists, and Pres
byterians-alI came up to the work manful-
ly, and the Division opens with upwards of
ninety members, most of whom are men of
influence. 1t would have gladdened your
soul to have been in the meeting this morn
ing. Every heart appeared to be full of
joy. On taking the chair of P. W. P. Thos.
D. Meares, Esq. made one of the most APP
propriatc and soul-inspiring speeches | have
ever listened to. We are out of the mire
now, and on firm ground, with a good strong
team, so that We now feel safe. By using
care and diligence, I firmly believe that the
Division here in the course Of six months
will number $50, if not more. We have
the right material in men of influence, and
men who will work for the cause.
