Bro. GoRMAN The 4th of the present
month will long be remembered by the friends
of Temperance, in this Village. Bro. Hewlett
was with US, and gave US one of his best speech
es. The people expected to hear something
good, and their expectations were more than
realized. He is, emphaticalIy, one ofthe best
speakers that ever had the pleasure of hearing.
His arguments are unanswerable, his anecdotes
fine and vel! told abuses no one and taking the
speech he gave us here, his reputation as a
speaker would not suffer, | am thinking, any
where. | think that lie will add to the cause
of Temperance, wherever he sets foot and
opens his mouth. lie has promised to be with
us again, sometime next spring and lecture for
us at a mass meeting which VIC contemplate
holding at that time. The Hard Shells Of this
community, are making treble efforts to keep
the people in ignorance on the great subject of
Temperance. / will give you one sketch,
among the thousands of their acts: On the 4th
of July last, we had a public celebration and
dinner to which the ladies Gin particular" were
invited to attend. Among the number present
on that day were two ladies', members of the
Iron Side church one mile from the village
Little thought they, when enjoying themselves,
Gas they certainly did that, for that days work
they had TO appear before the church. On
Saturday before the first Sunday in Aug. l had
a curiosity to hear what the Rev. Mr.. Hall had
10 say about the celebration when, 20 my sur
prise they arraigned one of them for being with
us and made her confess that "she was sorry
that she was present. TO lend a helping hand
to the cause OF Temperance and to get a good
dinner. Tho other good soul she deserves a
monument) had said beforehand. that "she came
because she was invited politely to do so. and
was not sorry, and in fact would do so again il
a similar occasion should present itself" But
they took good care not TO call her up, knowing
if they did so they would loose a member, (and
| really believe a christian.) write this fol-
the purpose ofletting the good people OF Edge
comb. Nash, Martin & Johnston counties see,
that they are not the only people that have tc
strive against ignorance and priesthood in the
broadcast sense Of the word. But after al this
the good cause is still advancing and Peep lie are
getting out of the door, as Bro. Hewlett would
say every now and then. Yes tbs prospecting anC
will continue to prosper whilst we have sucl
men as White, Hewlett and Shaw to speak fol
us, and a certain little Capt. German to write
for US. God speed the happy day when every
doggery that is now n stigma upon the State o
North Carolina shall have been closed, and no
q man to be found base enough for the sake o
gain to deal out the fre-water when Tenn
perance shall prevail from America to ever,
country and Isle of the Oceans the praye
of one who wishes his race well.

OCI. IL 1921
Believing it at all times gratifying to hear
the success and prosperity of the temperance
cause, and particularly that ofthe Sons of Tenn
perance, | give you a short and imperfect ac-
count of meeting which the Sons of Tempe
rance held at Cane Creek Factory on the 18th
Of Oct. The Division met at 10 o clock and
opened in due form, when two members were
initiated into our Order. We were favored
with a pleasant day, quite a respectable congre-
CATION were in attendance. We were enter
tanned by VIM. Albright, Esq, with a very
appropriate speech in behalf of the Sons OF
Temperance, pointing out the many evils grow
ing out of intemperance. Bro. William NJ.
Johnson being calledo on for aspeech, delivered
an Address, in which he set forth the beauties
and blessings Of Temperance, in a mastery
style.
Our Division was organized OF the 21st Of
December, 1850. We now number 80 mem
bers, and have four petitions for membership
into our Division. Notwithstanding the strong
opposition we have to contend with, we keep
progressing. Let our march be onward, until
we overcome the great monarch King Alcohol

FOR THE SPIRIT OF TIE ACl



Sons of Temperance noble as thou art,
Oft has thy smiles Gheered the responding
heart;
Now may the choicest blessings Of heaven be
Showered on your pure fraternity.
Oppose the demon-monarch's further course,
From fair freedoms land his raging cohorts
force;
Thy pure white banner to the breezes throw,
Enyironing King .fleohoI for It's him who is
your foe;
Multifarious as he may be, to him turn moi
your backs,
Phalanx's you must form, and with your battle
axe
Emit death and destruction throughout all hi
ranks,
Repulsing them entirely back to Pandemoni
ums hanks:
And then rush up as with an undivided wall
Never return until you see King Alchy fall
Convolving then his army do not sever,
Endless smoke will then descend from then
forever.
