THE SONS OF TEMPERANCE. A Pt? for an Ordfr that Will do More Good to the State than a Prohibition Party. (from the Columbia Daily Eecord.) Etvttor "rvrrittn- In tout admirable editorial of Thursday on the late Prohibi tion Convention, I notice that, like a great many others, you seem to regard as synoaamous the terms "Prohibitionists" and "temperance men," and to regard all memof temperance organizations as being MHfejs&irily "Prohibitionists." Hotter of fact, however, quite a il^aiimber^fcL^he members of temperBp orsanizations^SS^ot Prohibitionists, ojjthe other hand^wjije a large numffrohibitionisfe are members of B teeiperance organization or even total ttaixfrs. HLt i?,ll think, very mach to be regretted Bkt th# Prohibition movement has so comKtely Overshadowed other temperance ^feues, is to cause peo^e to lose sight of wort 5Ph?/->Vi Co ^.viiitlv done bv those IM" 1 " *? UAVW -o hV Eetnpertbce men in our miSii-SiliQ. do not attemp4 impracticable things, but sfl&$Iv| address themselves to the task of individual reformation. [ The order ot the "Sons of Temperance," for instance (of which I have the honor to be a representative), was organized long before the prohibition idea took root, and it has as its basis, therefore, not statutoryprohibition, but that best of all prohibition, viz.: that which the individual himself puts upon his appetite. ? Actuated by this idea, we have for years I Been ousy in the wort oi getting men? especially those who have fallen?to pledge j tfcwnselves to abstain from the use of intoxicants: and although in many instances such pledges have been broken, yet. on the other hand, in this and every other community where our order has the slightest foothold, many brands have been plucked from the burning; and there are today among the Sons of Temperance, even here -in Columbia?where our order has always had a weak and strangling- existence, and jfhcTcof late ye?rs it has had the additional disadvantage of being regarded by many as It mere "Prohibition club"?even here there are many bright examples of how pen may "make a ladder of their vices'' and from their "dead selves rise to higher lv? ? such a noble record as this, is it r ot Basing, strange, Mr. Editor, that such an der should languish and be well-nigh at & point of death? And is it not stranger ill that the majority of the men who sign Prohibition calls" and attend "Prohibi?n conventions" turn us the .cold shoulsr, and, thinking only of "closing the saons," will not help us in the work of reaming drunkards? ,You may say, sir, that this is a serious large to make against men who profess PC illflClf CO dU U.ccpijr 111 IVi. pee as these Prohibitionists do, but it is a pe charge, and I can prove its truth from be records. During my term of office as band "Worthy Patriarch of the State, I |ok notice of, and commented upon, the &ct that wherever the "Prohibition ever" struck a town, if we had a Division here it died as soon as prohibition prelaOed, the members seemingly carried away jrith the absurd idea that the simple clossg of a saloon took away from all men the ippetite for whisky, and, therefore, no urther temperance -work was needed. My immediate successor, the late Col. I as. ?j. a. .urayson, enierea om.ce wnn ferent views from mine, he was an ardent pJiibitionist, and was one of those who Id that to work for prohibition should the main object of all temperance organtions. Before his death, however, he d in the columns of his paper, the Aiken eorder, that an experience of two years the head of a temperance order* had ight him that prohibition hindered more in :.t helped the growth of any temper? organization having for its main obit the moral reformation of the people, i.that so far as he could see, the prohiion agitation only served to disturb cominities from centre to circumference, ider lifelong friendships, engender bitterss of speech from press, pulpit, and irom, and bring about all manner of and uachantableness. B Thus you will see, sir, that even an enflptngfest like the lamented Drayton became ? convert to the views long held by some Bf the legdiog members cf -thc?Sons^ofBss^SfSStoT vi2rr^rilat to attempt to force Hrohibition on the people by statutory enjKtments before the work of individual re amation had. been fully performed was Host like trying to build a house by comHKssnciag at the roof instead of at the foun Hjdation, and that the only true way to proHmote temperance was to work on indiyidHna2s and reform them; so that as the reform BBpwwfo from man to man, in time the maffim&Broxitv of men would be temperate and ab jmions, and the community would then i able to close the barrooms. And is any Ler plan than this practicable? Suppose, r instance, the State should right now 38e all the barrooms in Columbia, would at- take away the appetite for whisky? 2e i destruction of the appetite is what ould be aimed at, and that can not be ?e by coercion and can only be effected i persuasion and conversion. _ In conclusion, Mr. Editor, let me say st, like yourself, I honor the motives of Iny oi tne men in tne rroniDiuon parly. ie, some of the members of that party (entirely too uncharitable in their judgnt of ail who oppose their views, but of them are not so. I know many of m well; I have worked with them, and many things sympathize -with tbern. ey are, as a rule, earnest, God-fearing >ple, meaning well by their State, and their fellow-men, but their present, thods are unwise. They may disclaim : third; party idea, but that is the drift the tiring. And that is what the rthern promoters of the recent Prohibia convention in this city wanted and exChat the movement is nnwise^aaJ-iSTj / lifshle the convention isj! ^^^^^erats, and refuse admisare there^jjj & rH l pm m a. ^ for if they all men of all shades of poBpfit not then be far better for these Ken, and all others who wish well to jflEse of temperance, to come in with_ JJt^pour poor struggling order to itff acamT^Jris non-oolitica!. non-secta I, is willing to take in every one whocome, and it aims ultimately at the e objects as the Prohibitionists, the r difference being that we are using difat methods and moving more slowly. 1 holding the views that we do, we tsar expect nor wish prohibition until Mmplete reformation of the drinking its of the people makes prohibition ticable.
