Interesting Story 10 Connection
With Lecture at Gas
tonla, N. @.

The Gastonla correspondent of
the Charlotte Observer tells the
following:
ga lecture entitled Thoughts
Upon Music, With Prelude, In
terlude and Postlude,' is to be de-
livered in the Y. M. G. A. hall
by Prof. D. S. L. johnson. At.
ter the lecture, collection will
be taken for the benefit of the
Gonzales monument fund now be.
ing collected in Columbia. A
very interesting story is connected
with this lecture, sho wing why
this collection is to be made. 1t
seems that the last year of MIR.
Gonzales school life was spent in
Fairfax county, Va, and his
teacher was this same Prof. John
son. Young Gonzales was am
bltious to prepare himself for
newspaper work, and the teacher
did not classify him, SO that he
!! might have an opportunity to
make all the progress possible.
From that time until his unfortu-
nate death he did not forget his
'Mr. Davy,' as he affectionately
called his old teacher. On last
Christmas Mr.. Gonzales wrote
him as follows: MY dear Mr..
Davy: Please let me share with
you, this Christmas, my dividend
from The State. Accompanying
this letter was very liberal
check. His old teacher has met
with reverses, but wishes to do
what he can to pay a tribute to
his old pupil, the lamented Con
zales."

tered. In this respect, the expression
of Mr.. Clement. elsewhere quoted, is
significant. Mr. Clement emphasizes
especially the fact that to secure the
success of the law and it's ultimate
approval by the people. its admins
tration must be placed in every com
munity in the hands of the best men
who can be secured to accept the
task, and that licenses must be given
to the most reputable men who apply
for them 1t is to be hoped on all ac-
counts that Mr.. Clements followers
will be governed by the principles
which he thus lays down. No friend
of temperance will wish for loose or
inefficient administration of the license
law, and the men who have made
themselves responsible for it's intro
duction and operation have at the
best no easy task to convince the peo-
pie of Vermont that it is the law for
the control of the liquor traffic which
they wish to keep permanently on the
statute book.

Prohibition History in Brief.
New York Sun

When the prohibitory Maine Law OF
Neal DOw's construction was passed in
lA5l or the Act to prohibit drinking
houses and tppling shops ii was well
coined by temperance agitators at home
and abroad as the triumphant culmina-
tion of their movement for the repression
of the drink evil That was a period
when the temperance agitation, active in
this country for twenty years before had
reached the extreme of demanding en-
forced total abstinence. More than
twenty-five years before. the American
Temperance society had been established
at Boston. but generally that movement
was against distilled liquors only, so that
total abstinence was voted down at its
national convention in 1888. Not until
lS56 was total abstinence adopted at a
convention in Saratoga and made the
permanent policy of the society Mean
time the great body of the religious SEN
timent of this country had turned in that
direction. The celebrated temperance
movement of Father Matthew had be-
gun in Ireland in 1898, thirteen years be.
fore the enactment of the Maine law, and
his visit to this country i'm 1850 gave
new and powerful stimulus TO the tenn
perance agitation.
In 1852, the Maine law was made the
model of the prohibition legislation in
Vermont which has continued for half
century. The same year it was passed
in Rhode Island. 1t was passed by Con-
necticut in 1854, and in 1855 by New
Hampshire, New York, Michigan. Iowa.
In nearly all those states however, it
was only a transtory experiment and
was soon abandoned; nut the temperance
question continued to be an element of
disturbance in their politics.
