F. Perry, writing for the Grrcnvile Patriot
and Nountaincer report of his summer tour,
says:
s;The only drunken man have seen since
leaving home saw in the upper part oi
Canada. lie was in the cars gong to Toronto
at night, ard would walk through the cars
singing wild, passionate song, accompanied
by friend who seemed to be his guardian
angel Hundreds of thousands Of human
beings have passed before ME, and only one
the least intoxicated. mention this for the
encouragement of our friends of temperance.
The people everywhere here are too busy, and
have too much enterprise to spend their time
in drinking. They are building rail roads,
erecting manufactures, cutting down the
forests, raising cities, cultivating their farms,
and engaged in commerce of all'kinds.
have only once heard politics mentioned in
all my travels, and saw only one drunken
man !! In South Carolina sec drunken
man every day, and hear politics talked every
day Is there any affinity between these
vices And do they not paralyze the ener-
gies of people ?"
