MIR. EDIToI. Rev. Mr.. POtll-
son gets his Ire up over the facts us pub
llsled in my last communication, the
truths of which. rs relating to himself,
he fully establishes, in his argument to
justify his course, as published in your
last issue. That there are but two sides
to this bar-room question, right and
wrong, 10 sane man will deny, unless
he is pccuniarily Interested. When
Brother ponlson says the canvass by
~" and others WAS most thorough" he
is near the truth, as the writer put In
six weeks OF laborious work at his own
expense. to counterfeit the still hunt in
Auence of the saloons and get the vo-
tiers right on this question. Had he
staid ut home as I did instead OF rum
ming TO every negro meeting and hut he
would have found the vote against Ii
cense greater" We confess this to be
strange advice. Is that The course
adopted by the Parson in teaching re-
forms. and in trying to win souls for
CHRISTI We succeeded and we attrib
ute our success to hard work. and we
don't propose to try the stay at homo
plan when we want to accomplish an
object. The information we got i'll
reference to the buying of votes came
direct from the saloon men to the wrl-
ter, Ind from one colorrd leader who
offered X" his vote and influence for
The temperance ticket if We would out
bid the other side. We would ask the
Parson What the jugs and demi-
johns landed at our stations and
wlarveS reported 10y him have
got to do With the question Of rum
mills or no rum mills? Will license
make consumption less? The parson
must think So, else why did he vote to
license that, the sight of which lie says
will make us Saddcr men?
We have read Paul's wonderful praise
of charity in the Gospel to the Corinth-
ians. but we fail to see that he teaches
us to love the most damnable curse Of
the nineteenth century.
In closing let me say that nothing the
Parson wrote about us is disagrceable
The only disagrcealle part Of this whole
affair, to us,and to members of his con-
gregation with whom we conversed, is,
to find him, In ministerial garments de-
Tending the most Ubiquitous system
that ever cursed the human race. Ne
haye come to the conclusion that there
is more truth than fiction i'll the story of
the hard shell Baptist minister, us told
by Palson Grimsley, and that lie is not
the only divine of that persuasion who
would sit over tho still and Sing
sStr,ams of mercy never ceasing
Call for songs Of loudest praise. f"

Charles H. Dwinell. of the State Agrieult-
