Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1857-08-06

Prise, Camden Journal and Due West Telescope de-
serve our kindest consideration.
Temperance, like love- is part of woman's mis-
sion on earth. She fulfls part of her duty, in
making our Division Rooms orderly and graceful
by her presence. We hope that many more Ia
dies will give us their aid, by smiling upon the eff
forts which we make.
It would be invidous in US to review the action
of the National Division. Our duty here, and
throughout our Subordinate Divisions, is obedi-
ence.
We learn from the Report of our nerer-tiring
brother, N. Tylee, Sr., D. G. W. P, for Charles.
ton that the printing of the Journal of the Grand
Division will soon be accomplished. We recon-
mend to each and all of our Divisions to contrib
ute to that work. and to possess themselves of the
means of knowing the past action Of the Grand
Division.
The efforts made, and the success which has
crowned them in York, ought not to pass unno-
ticed. From thirteen Sons the number has been
increased to six hundred within year. The
YoRKvILLE ENQUIRER, and the Jealous and unit
ring efforts of our brethren, Beatty, Aston, DR..

rejoice in the good estate which York has acquir-
The death of our Brother, John F. Marshall, is
one of those affective events which we must Ia

| is Gods will-we must bend in obedience, but he
permits US to weep.
Brother Marshall has lived long-about forty
years in Columbia. He has ever been known as
good, honest, Jealous man. He became, many
years ago, member Of the Baptist Church, and
ever since, whenever good was to be done, he was
found ready and willing to aid
He was member of the old State Temperance

Executive Committee. So too, when Taylor Divis

He soon after entered this body. While his
health lasted, he was ever at his post. For sever
al past years he has been greatly afflicted. God
saw that he was ripe for the harvest and gathered
him into his garden.
Resolved That we sincerely lament the death Of
our brother, Marshall.
Resolved, That his name, with his honors in this
Body, be entered on a blank page of our journal.
Resolved That to his widow and children be
rendered the sympathies of this body; and with
them the consolation, that as Soldier Of the
Cross, and a co-worker with US, lie has entered
upon his everlasting rest in the mansions of his
Father
Resolved That copies of this portion of the re-
port and resolutions be sent to his WidoS and
children and published in the YoRKyILLE ENoUI'
RER, the Rising Sun, Southern Enterprise, Camden
journal, and the papers in Columbia.
JOHN BELTON O'NEALL, Chairman.
Brother O'Neall offered the following Res

Brother Walker, of the Committee on the
Grand Scribe and Grand Treasurer's Re
ports, submitted the following, which was a
dopted:
REPORT.
The Committee to whom was referred the Re-
port of the G. S., beg leave to report, they have
examined the same and find it correct.
1t should be most gratifying and encouraging tc
every lover of our Order, to every one having
the success of Temperan. at heart, to find from
the Report, that there has been not only an addi
ton of four new Divisions to the Order, but thai
the Subordinate Divisions have been more pune
tual than usual, in sending up their Reports at thf
end of the Quarter
While this, however, is a source of congratula
ton, we would call the attention of the Crane
Division, to plain violation or neglect of duty
we alude to the omission of seals in the creden
tals of Delegates from several Subordinate Div
sions; the omission in other Divisions, of giving
certificates to their Delegates, and, what strike:
US as being still worse, the neglect to send W
Quarterly Reports to the proper officer YOU
Committee must believe that these omissions arise
too often from sheer neglect of, Indifference t
O proper discharge of duty, and would recommend
that the attention of Subordinate Divisions bt
called to the correction of these evils.
We find from the Report of the Grand Scribe
that our Order now numbers over two Thousand
men-all, we trust, good and true. May we no
hope that this devoted baud, assisted by thu
Daughters Of Temperance, is a nucleus from which
will radiate the bright and glorious beams of To
tai Abstinence throughout every District ant
neighborhood in South Carolina.
Your Committee would recommend some actor
by this body on the suggestion of the G. s., il
regard to Subordinate Divisions reporting, Quar-
terly, the number of Lady-Visitors in their re
spective Divisions.
The Committee deem it unnecessary to call tn
attention of the Grand Division to the suggestion
of the G. S., in regard to public Lecturer; a
this matter, no doubt, will receive proper consid
GRAFTON by the committee in whose hands haV
been placed the Report of the G.. W. P.
The Committee would add that they have e1
amined the Report of the Grand Treasurer, ant
find it correct; and would recommend that it
with the Report of the Grand Scribe, be accepted
Respectfully submitted.
