For more than half a century our people have been talking, voting and working in the cause of temperance. In 1851 Maine passed a prohibition ^ law. All the whiskey iogic and influ- * ence were brought to break down the cause in that State. All these years s there has been 'a hard battle against the sale of whiskey. At the same time many good and honest people * have been working to make people temperate in the use of it, or what is better to increase the number of total 2 abstainers. Much good has been accomplished. \ Public sentiment has been created and strengthened against the'use and iale of it. There are sev- j ! eral prohibition bills ready for introj duction wljfcn our general assembly meets ne'^t week. It appears that ' the tide is turning in that direction. In Kentucky where millions of dollars are invested in the manufacture * of whiskey the majority of the counties are dry. Voting prohibition is ; only half the battle. It is good as far as it goes. Friends of the cause should then by precept, example and j character do personal work and per suade men that it is^ foolish, cieoasmg, , absolutely and eternally wrong to in- ^ dulge in such an unmanly habit. Let j the State give us prohibition and at . the same time let the people everyj where rise up and make it effective.? Carolina Spartan. - . Big Seizures ia Augusta. Augusta. Ga., Jan. 11.?J. E.
