in paying the last sad tribute of respect to the
memory of the deceased, bear testimony to his worth
as a member Of our Order, and as a citizen, taking
consolation in the strong belief that his removal
from earth's sorrows has been a transfer to the rest

THE Sirf OF THE Dkf.-Excess is the great
evil ofthe present day /; excess in business, in
pleasure, in every pursuit. 1t is a serious
evil attendant upon our extensive
and increasing wealth the whole soul is en-
crossed by it. Men live, in the metropolis
especially, in a continual hurry of business
which leaves them neither a moment for lei
sure, nor a disposition to employit proftably.
By a natural effect, excess in business dis
poses the mind to excess in amusement, and
thus worldly-mindedness prevails to such a
degree as to be utterly subversiye of the
Christians life. we toll on in the vain pur-
suits md frivolous occupations Of the world:
saxsaegant writer, till we die in our har-
ResA andpAen expect ifno gigantic crime
stands IN the way, to step Immediately into
the kingdom ofHeayen butthis is impossible
for, without a previous detachment from the
business of this world, we he prepared
for the happiness of another What shall
it profit a man, if he gain the whole world
and lose his own soul; or what shall q man
give in exchange for his soul?'

You can say TO the readers Of your paper,
that South Greek Division, No. 800, located
in Beaufort county, organized Nov. 18th,
1852, has not had a charge for violating Ar
ticle 2d, and we have no reason to believe
We shall, as long as the members continue to
attend their meetings as they have done
We have had one member to withdraw on
account Of his leaving the State, but am
satisfied that he will not disgrace our Diyis-
Tor, by using spirituous liquors.
You may also say that our Division turn
ed out recently, and met the citizens Of
CampbelPs Creek, in this county, about eight
miles distant from this place. After two or
three short speeches on the subject of Tenn
perance, we called for names, but did not
get any on account Of their wanting to form
n Division of their own. We then called on
the citizens to know whether or not they
were in favor Of the Sons of Temperance
and every man acknowledged we were right
by rising on his feet. | am in hopes t.
have the pleasure Of being present at the or
ganization Of n Division at Campbclls Greek

-Four years ago the first Division was or
ganized in this county, at Wentworth, prin-
cipally through the exertions of a gentleman
who had joined the Order in Tennessee
This was followed by the organization of
Divisions mt Jacksonville, Madison, leaks
vile, and Thompsonville. For a while our
principles spread with great rapidity, many
drunkards were reclaimed, and the blessed
beneficient influence of the Order was every
where seen and felt. Some of us dared to
hope that even in Rockingham the reign OF
rum was near it's end, and that the dawn OF
n brighter and a better day had appeared
Our hearts grew glad in the anticipation oil
deliverance from the curse by which our coun
ty had been so awfully scourged.
How is it nor with us Alas! how have
our hopes been disappointed! There is nov

The Election is now over, and ! have con-

didates who refused to accept of any assls-
lance from Mr.. Whiskey, in the late Election,
Col. r. G. Puryear, one of the candidates for

though advised to do so by some of his polit-
ical friends. And DIR. S. A. Hough, one Of
tho candidates for s.. G. Clerk in this county.
also refused to treat, and has been elected by
n small majority over his opponent, who
thought, or acted as though lie thought, that
enough Whiskey would elect any man.
The good cause is gaining up here. Pru
