THE ANTI-SALOON MOVEMENT IN

fore the League entered Virginia little

temperance and better morals Northmu-

need the movement so much, and so they

Richmond county wiz yet" etc.
Let all honor be- given to the citizens
OF Lancaster for the noble record they
are making In behalf of good order and
temperance. As matter OF fact, how
ever, during the residence of Rev. C. II.
James in Northumberland and largely
through his agency an Anti-Saloon
League was organized in this county and
it's officers were duly elected. Committees
weFe appointed for various parts of the
county, and the motto, 1.-The Saloon
must go" displayed in large IetteFs over
the court green. The constitution Of the
Anti-Saloon League was adopted and
good work was done. All this occurred
several years before thepresent organized
work in Lancaster began. But the ques-
ton who was FIRST on the field in this
fight is OF little moment as compared
with the high duty o. oil now working
together for the maintenance Of the law,
the purity Of our youths, and the sane
tity OF our homes. CIV. r.
while our correspondent IL correct, as
TO IA temperance movement having been
started earlier-in 1S96-in Northumber-
land, stiH ourstatement TO theeffect that
the organizations known ne the Anti
Saloon League bad not entered Virgins
even il its birth had been known else
where-still holds good. The good citi-
zens OF Northumberland fought "dry"
battle in 1896, losing in HeathsviIle but
carrying Lottsburg, and it was not until
some years later they captured thecounty.
Lancaster Increment began on n sweep
ing scale In the spring Of 1897, and
it was here that the Hrst real battle
for temperance in the Northern Neck was
successfully won. But, as 'ourcorrespon-
dent AYERS, the first on the scene matters
little; all but Richmond>county seem to
be standing pretty solidly shoulder to
shoulder now. We can but hope that In
time our sister county will fall into line.
