THE SOUTH CAROLINA
SON OF TEMPERANCE

TT il proposed to publish a new Weekly Paper, a.
Benncttsville, Marlboro, District, S. C., as
early this fall az arrangements can be made to ls'
sue it-anrta few hundred subscribers can be oh
tanned to start with.
The marin leading object ofthe paper will be tc
advance the cause of Temperance, and especially
to build up the Order of the Sons Of Temperance,
believing this to be the organization at present
that embraces the entire State in the scope OF It's
operations, and far more systematic, efficient and
powerful than any other human instrumentallty
that has yet been devised for the accomplishment
of what all similar associations p~ropose-the re-
formation of drunkards, the suppression of Intern
perance, and the systematic training OF the rising
generation in habits of strict sobriety.
To indicate Enthusiastically, the purpose of this
paper, it will be called "The South Carolina Son
Of Temperance"
The Offices of the NJ. W. P. of the Sons of Fem
perance of North America, and the Grand Scribe
of the G.. D. of S. c., located at present where
this paper is to be issued. besides being in a com
munity of strong, leading, intelligent, active. well
informed Sons of Temperance, extraordinary ia.
~cilities will be enjoyed for rendering the paper all
that the Order could desire. Its main leading
purpose will be to deserve and to secure the gen
eral support of the Order in South Carolina but
it will also embrace news Of interest and impor-
lance to the Order generally, and to all Temper
ance organizations.
Subscriptions are therefore solicited from Sons
of Temperance, in our jurisdictions and from other
Temperance Associations and individuals, and
from all who wish the cause well.
As this is to be the only newspaper published
in the District, and as it will probably be taken
by many in the neighborhood, for the local in
,errst it may possess, visiting it may be, the
humble aboGes of some, unable to take other pa
pers, it is deemed advisable to accommodate and to
secure this home patronage, BY devoting a small
but judiciously filled space to local news and to
the general news of the day.
Tie necessary capital to start this enterprise
having been contributed in. Rdvance, and all the
necessary arrangements having been deliberately
made with reference to stability, and good faith.
NIL who may feel inclined t. favor the undertaking
may conf lently subscribe, and remit advance
payments, assured that there will be no disap-
pointment. ,
The paper will b. of medium size, we'll printed
indeed, the entire nfice management will have
the benefit Of experienced printers and new and
sup riur materials.
TERMS.-TWu Dollars. in advance.

THE DANGEROUS DOCTRINE.

One of the chief causes by which the evil
of i%ntemperance is p%ropogated, is contained
in the argument of many men, who should
be found on the other side of the question,
that the use of liquor is not Objectionable,
if not drank to intoxication. We are salts
fed, that so long as this erroneous opinion
prevails, just so long will the curse of drunk
enuess abound. So long as exceptions are
made to a principle, and the lines of divis-
ion between soberness and drunkenness are
unable to be drawn with any degree of GER
tainty, just so long will thousands be ruined
by continually stepping over the defaced
landmarks of sobriety and morality.
We must fall back upon strictly total ab-
s~tineuce ground, eschew the very least ap.
proach to a compromise with wrong, deny,
as is our duty, the right of man in health to
use alcohol as a beverage in the least guam
tity. or in any form, and wage a warfare a
gaiust this loose temperance morality, which
allows a little evil to be good.
There is no middle ground for temperance
men to occupy. The total abstinence platfrom
is the only one upon which we can stand -
1t is the only consistent doctrine, and the
only hope of the world. This doctrine must
be enforced in all its purity, or the cause can
make no progress. A letting down of our
fac of reform in the least, will certainly cause
it to trail in the dust at the first fierce contest
with the enemy. Temperance is abstinence
from a hurtful beverage; it can be no less,
and possesses vitality as a principle.

METHOD OF AVOIDING A DUN,

METHOD OF ADVOIDING A DUN,
A compositorin one ofthe daily newspaper
Offices, though a good fellow, like many Of
the Faustian profession, suffers from repeated
attacks of limited finances, or revenue dis
proportional to his disbursements. He has
no objection to paying his debts, to the last
penny, when he has the money; but when he
is "short,": he abhors the idea o fmeetiug one
of his creditors, 'forhe hates a dun as he does
the devil, or a dirty proof" On one Of the
not few occasions of the pressure upon the
typos monetary market, he was descending
from the news-room to the street, when he
met a collector, who asked him if James H.
Smith giving theprintersreal name) worked
in that Office.
"Why do you wish to see him 2" asked
Smith.
81 have little bill against him ~(producing
the same) for 500, left by a DR.. -, who,
you remember, recently died, and whose
accounts have been placed in my hands fol
collection"
"James H. Smith" replied the compositor,
repeating his own name slowly, as if it had a
mysteriously-familiar sound and he were en-
deavoripg to recall it,: 81 have heard that
name before, surely. James n. Smith, James.
James H.-Oh yes, Gas with a sudden re-
membranee) he used to be employed here
Certainly he did. 1 remember now; he
worked next to my case, poor follow !" and
the speaker paused and looked sad, and
breathed a sigh.
"%Didanything happento him." questioned
the collector, alphabetically.
eyes; although as good a fellow as eve1
lived, he died suddenly one morning of the
cholera, after he had been attending the sick
bed of a friend"
"Did he leave anything?" askedthe maj
ofbills.
"Oh no. The boys had to bury him.
remember giving IS myself to put the gener
Gus creature under the sod, and it was one Of
the best actions of my life. With all hi
noble qualities, he died hundreds of dollars
worse than nothing"
"Then there's no use keeping this bill
suppose"
"Not a Bit, my friend" hastily ~rejoinec
the printer, with a kind ofcomic solemnity
sfor I assure you neither Jim Smith no
any one of his friends ever was or ever vii
be worth q d."
"Well, good morning, then"
"Good morning." and, as the collector de
parted, 81 guess I've gotrid of that old bore
1t wasn't perhaps so much of story as wa:
telling. Probably I was only anticipating
little, after ALL"
