tears of anguish, have long pierced the very
ears of Jehovah himself, but now, moth vain.
A brighter day is opening, the day of rescue
is at hand it already dawns upon us, and
the radiant beams of hope begin to illumine
the darkest corners Of our State, while songs
of praise and sweet rejoicing are heard from
all people, at the prospect of deliverance from
the CALLING chains of the monster, Intefnper-
ance. This is no fancy picture, it is absolute
reality. Go where you may, in any portion
of the State, even where the liquor-seller is
lord of the n~eighborhood, and the brandy
bottle, the only God that is known or Worship
ped (as in some parts of the "Old.feld dis
trict" in Nash Co.. and you will find, even
there, that the cause oftemperancehas friends.
The Star of Reform has arisen upon them,
and light from that glorious beacon is spread
ing everywhere, dispelling the gross dark
ness that has so long hung, as a thick pail,
over the minds of our citizens, and men are
beginning, at last to think and to act. Mark
it North Carolina will just as certainly be
freed from the unholy traffic in Intoxicating
drinks, as that the sun now brightens the
heavens! Let those oppose Prohibition that
will; let them SANDER and villify temper
ance men, and call them "madmen, fools, ia.
natics &c." and then do all they can to sus-
tain that most heartless of all heartless
wretches, the grog-seller; / say let them do
all this, but as sure as the voice of God, as
recorded in Holy Writ, has been uplifted in
wrathful denunciations against this whole
dram-business in all its bearings, so sure the
day is at hand, when the end cometh; the
end of that business in our State! What bo-
som so cold, that the thought does not ami
mate What soul so dead to all benevolent
and sympathetic emotions, that does not leap
rapturously, for the bright hope that is in the
future ? The signs of the times indicate with
certainty, that North Carolina shall be re-
deemed from the whitening blight Of the IL
quor traffic and no friend of his race, no
friend of God can, with a clear conscience,
lift his hand or voice to stay the progress OF
that cause, by which so desirable an event
shall be consumated; but, on the contrary,
he will lend his influence, his NAME, talents
and money too, i fneed be, for its furtherance
especially when he knows, the end to be gain.
ed is the entire abolition, in his own State
of one of the greatest, acknowledged evils
with which the earth is at present cursed
And may heaven grant the speedy removal
of that curse from our land and nation, il
the sincere desire of

Mr.. EDITOR We see with pleasure that
the Lecturers appointed for the various dis
tricts in the State, are, many ofthem actively
engaged in the glorious work of enlightening
on the subject of Prohibition and the Tenn
perance Reform and are battling earnestly
for the overthrow of the great enemy of imam
and mans happiness. 1t fills our very soul
with unspeakable emotions ofjOy, to read the
glowing accounts of success, that are weekly
sent up to your priceless " Spirit" by the
friends of the cause in the. different counties,
and to know that the prospect of Kidding our
beloved State of that DEVILS curse, the whis-
key bottle, and his prime minister, the grog-
seller, is not q dim one, nor is the hope of a
North Carolina liquor law far from fruition.
We were convinced already that the people
only needed to be properly informed and
faithfully instructed by earnest advocates of
temperance, to induce them to see and deeply
feel the absolute necessity of entire prohib-
ition to save the state from the power and do
minion of the liquor traffic but we are re-
ally astonished land agreeably so, too,) at
the almost universal success of the lecturers,
and the general favor shown the memorials,
whenever and wherever presentedf for names.
Why, on some occasions, we learn that, near
Iy every man, woman and youth in their as

hibition, and those who do not give their
names, openly declare their determination,
no longer to co~untenance the death-dealing
grog-business in their midst, nor the ~soulless
ANIMALS called men, who are engaged in de-
frauding their neighbor out of his money and
estate for strong drink! There seems to be
a general uprising of all good citizens, inev-
cry section of the State, to put a stop to this
unrighteous traffic, and that right speedily
even fheaven and earth must be moved to
9 accomplish it This is the way for men to
I work who desire complete success. This is

progress towards its establishment in the

with the whole heart and soul but with

PREMIUM COTTON GINS
THE BEST MADE IN GEORGIA.

S
A. BOVE 200 of which were sold in North Care
IA DINA last year. Griswold's Gins run lighter,
pick faster and make as good link as any saw gins
ever made. Enquire of 80 men in the county Of
Edgecombe who use Griswold's water box gins
They will tell you that they are preferable to all
the gins known to them, andthere are several kinds
from Georgia used there.
Mr.. John s. Brown, of Pitt county, N. c., has
one with only 40 saws that has picked at its ordin-
airy speed, 100 pounds of seed cotton in z minutes
and 6 seconds, which is more than 5000 pounds in
ten hours.
Mr.. Benjamin May, of the same county, has a
forty saw gin that has picked 200 pounds Of seed
cotton in Is minutes and stopped once during the
time. He picks easily 1000 pounds of link per
day.
Mr.. Eaton Cobb, of Edgecombe, picks 400 lbs.
in 80 minutes-ginw with 40 saws.
Mr.. Levi Dawson, picked 800 pounds seed cotton
in % minutes.
These water box gins will last as long again as
any others, as they never heat, and consequently
never wear the journals.
Griswold's are the only fire proof gins.
We guarantee our gins if any man wishes it, to
surpass any gin made under the same eircumstan-
ces, i. e. in the same house by the same gear and
steam.
We have never sent a 40 saw gin to n. c. that
will not pick with good gear and team 400 pounds
of seed cotton in 80 to 35 minutes-in factwe make
no other.
