to hear of some people, doing bet.

= . FOR THE SPIRIT OF THE AGE.
Nix. EDITOR: Week after week, I see in
your good Spirit your noble appeals to the
people of North Carolina to desist from dis
filling up the grain, and converting it into a
curse. This practice is not only painful to
every true christian, but painful to every
lover of his country's welfare. But while
We have to deplore that these are the facts.
even in our good old North State, that men,
even men who call themselves christians.
as well as others, who would take it as
an insult to be called any thing but a
good citizen, are engaged in this most deplo-
raple practice, in many parts of the State,
yet let me encourage you and the friends of
temperance a little, by informing YOU that
there IS one little SDOt in North Caroline q "
empt, not only from distilling and selling
liquor, but even from the practice of drink
ing liquor. That little spot (Which is twenty
miles long and ten broad1 is South Wash
lngton precinct, in the upper part of New
Hanover county. Early last spring, some of
the leading citizens of the above named pre-
clnct requested that all liquor selling in said
precinct should be dispensed with during the
war. The people adhered to the requisltion,
and the writer of this article lives in said
precinct, and for the last six months it has
been a complete temperance society through
out its length and breadth. And the adioin-
ing precincts have acted pretty much upon
the same principle, and throughout the coun-
ty and from what the writer can learn.
there is much less than ususal sold and drank
IN the counties of Duplin, Sampson and Bla-
den. Surely, Mr.. Editor, this gives as in
this section some encouragement. We think
that one enemy at a time is enough to
contend with. hardly know which is the
worst enemy, the Lineolnites or the Liquor
ties. "a e-s.aE NEW H.NoyFp '
