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

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

pe charge, and I can prove its truth from
be records. During my term of office as

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

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

2e i destruction of the appetite is what
ould be aimed at, and that can not be

i persuasion and conversion. _
In conclusion, Mr. Editor, let me say
