Temperance in the Grange.

Mr.. EDITOR: Under the above cap.
ton Granger has suggested the impur.
tance of discussing the question of tam.
perance in the Grange, and calls for the
opinion Of brother Changers in regard to
1t. We think the suggestion good one,
and will, no doubt, receive the hearty ap.
rroval of all who feel interested in the
cause of temperance. The question
you'd, no doubt, elicit spirited discus.
sion. 1t would, also, infuse life into the
Grange for the time being, at least.
Besides, 1t would give rest and relaxation
to the farmer by turning his mind to
channels of thought not connected with
his daily business. By all means, let the
question be discussed by the farmers. All
would, no doubt, like to have their opin.
ion as to where spirituous liquors should
be confined. Whether in towns or in the
countrya Evidently 1t should be placed
where it's use Il !eest liable to be abused
by the young and thoughtless, as we'll as
the old and inebriate, let that be where
1t may. A FARMER.

Why Is Our Land Filed With Drank.
ards?

MR.. EDITOR: Fifty years ago distile.
ries were thicker over the country than
pig.pens are now, and every man had his
peaches and corn made into strong drink
and his closet filled his table was never
set without it, bis side.board had the
decanter and glass always inviting you
to take drink. Day by day the little
boys learned to love it, taking a drink
with pa and ma for their stomache's sake.
Pa found out his mistake when it was
too late, and threw away the still.house,
(butnot until the law compelled him, and
no moro was the closet filled with the
drink Of death. But he could not tear
out and throw away the love for it which
he had implanted in those boys. Father
and mother had encouraged them 10 love
it, and their love for it will never die, for
to those drunken sons we're born sons,
and the old love for strong drink was
born with them, and to-day they are
reeling over the land looking and acting
like idiots, forgetting that they ere men,
made. in the image of God. Yes, that
love is there yet, and it must be crushed
down as much as possible, by putting
strong drink out of their reach-clear
out of the land. That love ia stronger
than the vile poison with which they
try to quench it with, and it will take o
mighty effort to put it out of their reach,
hut it must DE done or the nation will
sink to perdition. Take it from them !;
1t is serpent that charms men and
tWines around them its deadly fangs and
presses them to death. When they see
or smell it they forget everything, every
love, and every promise, and plunge into
Its sparkling beauty.
"hen our fathers were giving them o
little every day, hey did not know they
were cultivating love that would never
die. They did not know they we're
digging graves for drunken sons and
b'oken-hearted daughters. They did not
know they were building poor. houses,
penitentiaries, jails, guard.houses, and
lunatic.asylums; and as they did not
know it they must be forgiven, for it is
too late to gather the thistle seeds they
nowed (through mistake) for flowers. No
one need to ask why is it 80 many of
our people, old and young, in the church
aud out of the church, are given up and
addicted to this useless and wicked habit
of drunkenness" The reason ia obvious.
a mighty host of mothers, wives, and
sisters cry out from their aching hearts
Away with whiskey! Away with strong
drink We prefer to lose q few who
might die for the want of it, than to lose
O whole nation, who drink and die
because they can get 1t.

TO WHOM DOES IT BELONG ?

A Washington dispatch says that on
Tuesday, the 9th inst, heavy square
box, wrapped in red tape and securely
bound, was found in an out of the way
nook of one of the vaults Of the Treasury
department. The key had been mislaid
aud was nowhere to be found. The box
had been In the vault for many years and
had been almost forgotten. The services
of locksmith were secured and on open.
ing the box 1t was found to contain p
bottle of diamonds, bottle of pearls, a
bottle of altar of roses and lump Of
gold. One of the older employees iden.
tilted these rs articles which hsd been
presented to President Monroe about the
year 1928 by tho Japanese Government
and which had been stored in the treas.
ury pending the passage of an Act Of
Congress authorizing their acceptance.
Congress failed to legislate on the sub.
ject and tho articles were deposited in
the treasury, where they have remained
ever since.
Congress should now pass bill to
turn these articles over to the heirs of
President Monroe.

There are some interesting elections to
como off this year which will, to some
extent, indicate the impression which
the new Democratic Administration has
made upon the country. The States to
vote are Ohio in October. and Connecti.
cut, Iowa, Maryland, Massachusetts,
New jersey, New York, Pennsylvania
and Virginia in November. OF these
the Republicans carried in the Presiden.
tial election only Ohio, Iowa, Massachu.
setts and Pennsylvania; but the Demo.
cratic margin was 80 narrow in Connec.
ticut, (1,276,) New jersey, (4,4l2,) and
New York, (l,047,) that these States are
fairly considered contestable. In New
York and Ohio, Governors are to be
elected, and the struggle in these States
will be particularly interesting.

The Columbia Registsr says chat the
Stats Board Of Agriculture have adopted
several new rules regarding phosphate
mining and amended otAers. Hereafter
Ill pefsonB oT companies holding phos-
phate licenses are prohibited from sub.
letting them. Gsnsral rights and exclu-
sive rights shall not be held OF the same
time by one person or company. Marine

or company now engaged or intending to
engage in mining land rock. Applica.
tions for license ahall designate the stream
or portion thereof In which the applicant
desires to mine, end shall be confined to
that locality. PaFties holding licenses
shall NOT trade 10 phosphate rock not
mined by themselves. Where licenses
have been suspended for non payment of
royalty, resumption will only be permit
ted on certificate by Commissioners of
Agriculture ofpayment Of royslty. These
changes in the phosphate mining regula.

MR. EDITOR In your issue of May
7th, see an article on License or no
Liconse, Prohibition or no Prohibition,
In which the writer has fears for the
welfare Of the country il prohibition
measures are pressed to final success.
He begins by telling how it was when he
was young, and comparing that time
with the present.
Now, know the writer and would not
provoke discussion, but wish to present
the other side. In the days of my child.
hood my grandfather made his own
epirits, and the house was never without
o supply, though he never drank it h
excess, for he was staunch Seceder, and
regarded the law of God and man. But
If you will compare the society of that
day and this, you will see vast differ.
ence. In the first place, the population
was not half SO dense, and boys were
only boys until they were of proper age.
They regarded their fathers commands
and example moro than at present, and
the habit of public drinking had not
become 80 common and dangerous to
society. Beaides, the colored people
were in o condition not to have free
access TO It as they have now, which is
one of the strongest arguments In favor
Of prohibition.
The writer speaks Of the members of
so.called temperance societies, and am
sorry he wrote of them as he did, for
although be 1t said to their shame, that
some of them drink, yet soma of our best
men and women belong to those societies,
and because some of them violate their
pledge 1t cannot disgrace the whole, for
they are accomplishing and are destined to
accomplish great and valuable results,
(and I may be excused for saying hero
that ann not member of any such
society}. I would invite him to visit
Hart County, Ga, and ask any responsi.
BILE citizen what has bsen the result of
prohibition In that County, and about
two-thirds Of the Counties of the came
great State. Has It been to increase
drinking9 No. They will tell you their
towns are free from drunken men, and In
the neighborhooda where the stills
abounded most the men are mover seen
under the influence of whiskey, as they
we've 30 oftsn--so OFTEN before. There
are some things / know, and that is one
of them. The ambition of o great mum.
ber of men, even young men, before the
prohibition Law over there, was to devise
some plan to getwhiskey for some occa.
alon-often the occasion Of some dis.
graceful row. or dangerous conflict. Now
the atate of society hes been improved
beyond computation In these localities,
aud prohibition hau contributed no small
part TO these results. !.
He advises the city to prohibit the
sale Of whiskey. Thus far NO agree, but
when he says5 make it indiscriminately
FREQ, as 1t was forty or fifty years ago, !
am surprissd at the idea coming from
sober man, as he claims and know him
10 be. Why, sir, IL such was the case
