lent state of mind, and said / was not
going TO take one single minute, because
all we OF New England are the hosts of

cut We have such a superabundance of
riches. We have three Governors, although
not any of them are doing very much at it
just now. We have a legislature that meets
and adjourns, and has been doing that for
a year, and don't believe there is another
state in the Union that can say the same.
And, of course, if the legislature keeps on
in this manner, we Of the W. G. T. L.
haven't much to boast Of. We are holding
our own; and when Mrs. Burt, of New
York, was telling Of the wonderful laws
they had gained through the legislature, l

sorTH DAKOTA.

South Dakota has prohibition in its on
stitption, put there BY the intelligence of
Dakota manhood, and " e have a prohibit
ton that prohibits. Why, a good many of
our county ~jailors had to NOV their W
jail yards this year because there were not
any conyicts in the jails to do it. Then We
have got some whisky men looking out
from behind the bars, and they have been
converted to prohibition by a prohibitory
law. And we believe there is nothing
that is so educating as a prohibitory law.
We in South Dakota have taken the stars
and stripes, the glorious emblem Of our
freedom from the saloon, and we have
lifted them over every school house in
South Dakota. South Dakota believes in
a school house upon every hilltop, and no
saloons in the valleys, at least, she would
if she had any hills and valleys; and l say,
we have lifted this glorious banner over
our school houses, and woe betide the mis-
creant hand, either foreign or American,
that dares to disturb or attempts to de-
stroy this bulwark of our American civil
~lization and freedom.-NrS. H. IL. Barker.

FLORIDA.

Florida is under a local option law, but
the law is very poorly enforced. Aud
why? | believe | can tell you by showing
you the published lists in the newspapers
OF those who petition for license Read
them down, and you will see against nearly
every name, or at least against a age pro-
portion. a mark-John Smith, his mark.
Who are theys They are our eolored
brothers, easily bought with two dollars.
or a drink of whisky. But We are trying.
We remember what DIR. Josiah Strong said
in emphasizing the Importance of pre-
empting new territory for God and Home,
and Florida is new territory, except in the
upper tier of counties. Our broad coun-
ties are some of them over ten miles broad.
some of them two or three hundred miles
broad, so that we have very little organi-
cation. Only two counties yet have been
organized. Indeed, we are only in our
ninth year there at al. But we have a
scientific temperance Law which is bring
ing forth good fruit. Our superintendent
of public instruction is a Christian man,
and we are praying that be may see the
light and come ont into full communion
with us. We nave q little paper, the Tele-
phone, through which we speak to one
another, and its editor is nos our presi-
dent. Mrs. f. a. Hill, of Orange City. We
have bad many Demofcst contests. and
we are establishing drinking fountains
through our cities. In February orr state
convention meets in Winter Park. Orange

which is but little way between Jackson
vile and Tampa. We will give You a
royal welcome. Pansy, Mrs. Alden. IS q
resident there, and one of those dear
woman who invited the state convention
to meet 10 that town. And when sou are
on your southern journey this winter we
hope as many of you as possible will be
there. We had a grand, glorious uplif: IN
having Mary T. Lathrap with us in April
at our convection in Sanford. Many men

Georgia has been called for, but there
has been so much 'ftop-loftical" boasting
here to night that she began to feel like
she vas "small potatoes" Still, she re-
members that she is one of the two Empire
states of the nation, and that she covers in
her territory enough to swallow up two or
three OF these states that have been holding
their heads so high above their ~neighbors.
Now l come from away down South IN
Dixie to represent the Georgia Crackers,
and to tell you what they have been doing
for the last two hundred years, but the
Crackers drawl so that it would take me
two weeks to tell you all that has hap
pened since the National Convention met
there last year.
One hundred and ffiy-eight years age,
General Oglethorps passed a prohibitory
Law against the liquor traffic. Since then
every temperance agitation that has swept
through the country has stirred the hearts
of the people Of Georgia to their depths.
stirred them iuto enthusiasm and effort.
Since then the ". c. I. L. has been work
ing. Ten years ago the Atlanta union be-
gan a petition for local option that in six
weeks was signed by thirty thousand
names, presented 10 the legislature, a leg
islatiye Law passed. and nearly the whole
of Georgia was under the local option law.
Now we have been working through the
W. C. T. L, the Good Templars, the Ma
tsoaal State Temperance Association. the
Methodist church, sam Jones. sam Small,
and a thousand other ways, till We have
made Georgia 50 dry that no liquor is to
