To the Officers and Representatives of the I Grand Division Sons of Temperance of \ South Carolina: Dear Brethren?I shall not weary . your patience with a long introduction, out simply Bay it affords me great pleas? ure to greet you all here in my own Di? vision-room, and let us all indulge the hope that this meeting may be produc? tive of much good to onr noble cause. I can only give the statistics of the Or? der up to March 31,1878, as the June re tarns have not been received in time to make up iny report: No. Divisions reported for quarter ' ending 31st March. 22 ' Divisions organized dnring last quar? ter. 1 Initiated during quarter..113 Reinstated.;. 11 Withdrawn....... 28 Suspended.v........ 30 Expelled for violation of pledge. 84 Expelled for other causes. 51 Violated pledge!.56 Dead. 000 Members..'.......1181 Amount of cash on hand and in ves? ted by subordinates.$274 20 financial condition. .

By amount paid out for supplies, jy current expenses, &c.61 25 $42 78 It affords me pleasure- to state that we are gradually working out of debt, and I hope by our -next annual meeting that I can report the old debt eatirely can? celled. This will depend, though, upon the Deputies, and they will at once see the importance of sending in their re tufas promptly with the per capita tax. I would especially call the attention of j ' subordinate Divisions to the resolution passed by the National Division bearing upon the subject of the per capita tax, . which I will bring to your notice here? after. national division. The thirty-fourth annual session of J the National Division held its meeting at Buffalo, New York, commencing June 18, 1878. I would call your attention to the following resolutions passed at that meeting. Resolved, That Grand Divisions at .present indebted to the National Divis? ion be allowed until first Jan., 1880, to settle such indebtedness. Resolved, 'That the Most Worthy Scribe furnish no supplies, except where the cash accompanies the order. AMENDMENTS. There were two amendments to to the Constitution of tue National Division, as follows: Part H. Add to section the words "by ballot." This will require Grand Divisions to elect their representatives to the National Division by ballot Part X. Section 3d amended so as to read, Skc. 3. No Grand Division shall re? ceive the password, or be allowed to have a voice or vote in the National Division, j whose returns and per capita tax for the I preceding year have not been sent to the M. W. Scribe, except by a vote of this body. decisions. A charter of a subordinate Division i^cao be annulled only by a two-thirds vote - 'of tie Grand Division as prescribed in jXRule XVTJI, Constitution of Grand Di visk n, or by a surrender as prescribed in Article VI, Constitution of subordinate . Divisions. A Deputy G. W. P. has not the power to declare a charter forfeited. Representatives to the National Divis? ion can be elected only at the annual acssiou of the Grand Division (see Part LI, Constitution National Division) ; still, the National Division would, with? out doubt, admit any representative who might be elected at a special session, up? on proper presentation of the facts. There is no warrant in any of our laws, or in any of th 3 decisions of the National Division, for voting for more than one candidate at one and the same time, and in consequence, all applicants for membership should be voted for sep? arately. '. No member of oui Order can be sus? pended or expelled for any offecca again: - our laws, without trial and couvicijtf him within bis months, but cannot be initiated in any other Division. In case of the appeal of ?. H. Glapp vs. Grand Division of Massachusetts, it waa decided that pending a settlement of a claim against a member holding funds belonging to a Division, it is wrong and illegal to charge and expel such member for the offence while the matter is still in the hands of a Commitiee with full power to settle by note with the offender. A Grand Worthy Patriarch has not the authority to. suspend a stated meet? ing of a Grand Division, said meeting having been ordered at an annual ses? sion . A Grand Scribe has-no right to grant a Clearance Card to any person claiming to be a former member of a defunct Di? vision, unless he has satisfactory proof that such person was a member in good standing at the surrender of charter of the Division. state of the oeder. Since our meeting in Charleston one new Division has been organized in An? derson County, known as Excelsior, No. 114," and several old Divisions* have been reorganized with flattering pros Eects for the future. This work has all een accomplished by old workers who "fr*. U tha frfjntnrjnin with a de? termination to raiseujTouFl-tld standard of Temperance in our land. I have facts and evidences to justify me in sta? tine that our prospects are brightening, and that we have passed the darkest hour of depression. There is one thing that I would again mention to this Grand Body, which I alluded to in Charleston. Several of our Divisions have adopted the plan of public meetings and pic nics, with-addresses from speakers on the sub? ject of temperance, which has resulted in good to the order on every occasion. I would especially recommend this feature to all the Divisions, with the hope that they will all adopt it. In conclusion, dear brethren, let me beg that you all put forth stronger efforts in. the cause than you have ever done be? fore, and let us all strive to make this meeting a pleasant and harmonious one, and may it date a new era in our exist? ence, is the earnest prayer of Yours, in L., P. and Fr, It. P. Smith, Grand Scribe. On motion of Bro. Towers, the Grand Division appointed the following hours: Meet at 9 a. m., adjourn at U p. m., meet at 4 p. m., adjourn at 6J, and meet atT8$ p. m. On motion of Bro. Towers, the reports from the subordinate Divisions were ap? pointed to be heard at the afternoon ses? sion, immediately after the Grand Wor? thy Patriarch's report. On motion, it was ordered that the committee on the blue ribbon movement be allowed further time to report. The Grand Division then took a recess until 4 o'clock. afternoon session.

A motion was adopted that the com? mittee appointed to visit the Friends of Temperance make a verbal report through Bro. McCurry. Adjourned to 8i o'clock. eye>""q?g session. The Grand Division resumed business, G. W. P., E. B. Murray,-in the chair. Bro. A. B. Towers, chairman of the committee to re-establish Belton Divis? ion, made a verbal report, stating that it was impossible to do anything in regard to reviving that Division* The report was received as information and the com? mittee continued. On motion, Bro. Tol? ly was added, to the committee. The Grand Worthy Patriarch read his report, which was as follows, and was re? ferred to a committee consisting of A. B. Towers, J. W. Moore" and R. F. Divver: Grand "Worthy* Patriarch's Report. To the Officers and Members of ike Grand Division of South Carolina : Dear Brethren: In accordance with usage, I address you in this my quarterly report, although I am unable to convey to you any information as to the state of our order beyond that which has already been communicated in the report of the Grand Scribe. Our order has not progressed in our State as much as it was hoped it would do, though I feel that it has not declined since our last meeting, and indeed that in Colum? bia, Camden, and Anderson County, the interests of .our fraternity have been well watche'd, and the prospects are very en? couraging in these fields. In Anderson county, the only new division of the past quarter was formed and several of the old divisions have gone to work again, and some hava made great tem? perance revivals. They have held pub? lic meetings and been addressed by car nest and eloquent temperance workers, whose words and whose efforts in behalf of our cause have obtained a hearing and produced converts to the order we repre? sent, and in this connection, I desire to give official recognation of the valuable and untiring labors of our brothers, G. F. Tolly and, P. K. McCullcy, of Ander? son, to whom much of this success is due. There are also other veteran workers in our order, whose labors deserve the thanks of all true Sons of Temperance, and whose examples are worthy of imi? tation by all who desire to stop the evil influences of strong drink and secure a common union of mankind in the bonds of Love, Purity and Fidelity which our order affords. I concur in the recom? mendation of the Grand Scribe, that our divisions throughout the State, hold at least on3 public temperance meeting during the summer, and if possible, com? bine, with it a picnic or other induce? ments, to secure the attendance of a3 largo an assembly of ladies and gentle? men as possible. If our divisions will do this^jui^taire the services of two or : temperance ?peakers B^HBfelfee! a&sared 'hat our fraternity the evils to which our members will be exposed. Temptations which are hard to resist, will be thrown in the pathway of the weak, or the thoughtless who belong to our ranks, and if those temptations should prove as damaging to U6 as they did two years ago, I do not exaggerate the danger when I express the fear that the very ex? istence of the Son3 of Temperance in South Carolina is seriously threatened. Your representatives of the Grand Divi? sion are the sentinels upon the watch tower of our institution, and our mission of benevolence to m i ikind requires that as good sentinels we bould not only as? certain the approacl of the enemy, but that we should make his coming known and. guard our ranks from his grasp. We should go to work throughout tho State as far as possible, to institute active measures to prevent our order from in- j jury by the temptations which beset us during election years. I earnestly re? commend that you consider maturely the possibility of establishing new divi? sions throughout the State, and devise, ifpossiblc, some means of planting our orocr in sections where it has never ex? isted as well as reviving divisions which have lapsed into non-existence. We*now have divisions in only a few counties of the State, and cannot hope to place our order-in a.promineut position by simply cul?vating tlte-Uy^i fields we now occu? py. We should, nr-ftyj^opinion, endavor to devise some well direclfc^nd syste? matic plan for establishing afS^^t one division at some prominent point inea*ij^ County in South Carolina as a nucleus from which the temperance influence may radiate, and by being thus widely dissiminated, may achieve the greatest good for our fellow men and place our noble Grand Division which has strug? gled so earnestly and persistently against immense difficulties in the proud position which its worth deserves. If some dis? creet and earnest brother could be em? ployed for a month or two to engage in this work, we would no doubt be enabled to accomplish our purpose, but as the finances of this body will not probably admit of this undertaking, I suggest that it might bo desirable to appoint some suitable brother for each county which has not now an organization in it, whose duty it shall be to seek to establish one or more divisions before our annual meet? ing, and also one brother to look espe? cially after increasing the number and efficiency of the divisions in counties in which we are now woiking. We should Eut forth some more active efforts, and I ope you may be able to agree upon some favorable plan. There is great lack of efficiency on the part of the Deputies of the Grand Worthy Patriarch in this jurisdiction. Only one, (Brother P.. G. Sloan, of Hopewell Divi? sion,) has made any report for the past quarter, and this as you know, keeps the Grand Worthy Patriarch from having the information necessary to properly discharge his responsible duties. I take this occasion to request that divisions which have deputies who are not able to perform the duties of their office, will nominate some active and faithful tem? perance worker, and it will afford me pleasure to make such appointments as they may nominate. I also urge that deputies who cannot from any cause, at? tend to their offices, will resign and allow those who can and will do so, to be ap? pointed. At least, I hope that every de? puty will hereafter, send in his quarterly report promptly and in it that all matters of interests to the Division will be com? municated. Our sessions of this Grand Body, are becoming entirely too poorly attended for the efficiency of our cause. Those Divi? sions which have the most regular repre? sentation in this body are the most pros Eerous, and I hope that some effort will ereafter be made by every divison in the State to have a representative at each of our sessions. By meeting together and exchanging views, we are revived and strengthened in our resolutions to work in the temperance cause, and also we obtain the experience of the best tem? perance workers, and thereby learn to improve in our modes of conducting the temperance warfare. I am satisfied that it will bo a profitable investment for any division to send a representative to every session of this body even if it hits to pay his whole expenses. Our Grand Division ought to be more largely attended, or it will soon become a mere jest for our enemies. Let us therefore use our best efforts to secure fuller representation in this body at every session hereafter. I shall not refer to our financial con? dition further than to express my high appreciation of the sagacious and ex? cellent financial management of the af? faire of our Grand Division, by the pre? sent Grand Scribe, and urge you to rend? er him the aid which he so reasonably asks, and has the right to expect of you. The dues of the Subordinate Divisions should be promptly paid to him, and if this is done, we will soon be on the high? road to financial independence which will make our order much more prosperous and effective in its work of love to men. In conclusion, brethren, let me express ths hope that we will not only put forth our own hands in this great work, but th;it with fervent hearts and an humble faith, we will supplicate the Giver of All Good Things, for the blessings of His power aud His might in our behalf, and that armed with a love for mankind, and favored by God, we may go on in our la? bors with renewed prosperity, assured of the triumph of our principles, and be? holding the blessings which temperance in its holy mission, scatters with boun? teous hand upon the votaries of that in? stitution whose foundation rests upon the ennobling virtues of Love, Purity and Fidelity. Yours respectfully, E. B. Murray, G. W. P. Bro. McCurry, from the committee to visit the State Council, Friends of Tem? perance, made a verbal report, stating \ that he had visited the State Council and I invited them to come over and unite with us, aud that a committee of five was ap? pointed to meet with us at this session of j the Grand Division. He stated that he was cordially received, and found them earnest workers in the cause of tem? perance, and suggested that another com | mittee be appointed to visit them again and make another effort to bring about a union between the two orders. On mo? tion, the report was received tis informa? tion and the same committee continued. The Grand Scribe read a letter from a member of Catawba Division, No. 16, [ asking that a lecturer be appointed to re ( vive that Division. On motion, Bro. G. F. Tolly and G. W. P., E. B. Murray, were appointed to perform that mission. On motion, a recess of ten minutes was taken for the purpose of having some music. After recess, on motion, P, M. W. P., B. D. Townscnd, was invited to address the Grand Division and give an account of his visit to the National Division at Buffalo, which body is composed of rep? resentatives from all parts of the United States and Canada. The address was very elaborate and interesting, and the thanks of the Grand Division were ten? dered Bro. Townscnd for his report. Bro. Towers extended an invitatiou to the Grand Division from Anderson Di? vision to attend a public meeting to? morrow morning, at 11 o'clock, in the Baptist Cljurch. - On motion, the invi ^afton ^^acccPt^*jfltiB^ Grand ft'1" im dispensed with for tho present. A communication was received from the Grand Conductor, "W. H. Bailey, which was received as information. The committee on the Grand Scribe's report made the following report, which was adopted: The committee to whom was referred the report of the Grand Scribe, beg leave to report: That they have examined the same, and recommend that it be adopted by the Grand Division. Your commit? tee regret to note the fact that subordi? nate Divisions are not prompt in sending in their quarterly returns to the Grand Scribe. The importance of promptly rendering these returns and the payment of the per capita tax cannot be too prom? inently brought before subordinate Di? visions, nor too strongly urged upon their consideration. The prompt performance of this duty will give new life and vigor to the cause in South Carolina, and con? tinue our pleasant and fraternal relations with the hational Division. Your com? mittee notice, with pleasure, that the financial condition of this Grand Divis? ion, under the very prudent, wise and sagacious management of the Grand Scribe, has been materially improved, and if supported, as he asks and has a right to expect from his brethren, your committee confidently express the belief that by tho annual meeting we shall be free from all embarrassment, and in a condition to move steadily and surely forward in the grand cause of tem >?<ance. All of which is respectfully subinTttmd ' >y>*ovalt?itB, Chairmun, E. M. S^ihes. Bro. Townsend calledTor-ihe financial condition of the Grand Division, which was read by the Grand Scribe. Tficr finances were found to be improved since our last meetf.ng. The committee on the Grand Worthy Patriarch's report made the following re? port, which was adopted: The committee to whom was referred the report of the Grand Worthy Patri? arch, beg leave to make the following re? port : Wc have examined the report and find in it some valuable ?suggestions, which, if adopted and carried out, will no doubt be the meansi of accomplishing much good for our noble order. First. We recommend to the subordi? nate Divisions to adopt the plan of pub lie meetings, and urge upon them to have at least ooe during the summer, as suggested by the Grand Worthy Patri? arch. 2nd. That the Grand Worthy Patri? arch proceed, as soon as possible, to ap? point some suitable person, in each coun? ty of the State where we have no Divis? ions, to carry out his suggestions in es? tablishing our order in counties where we have no "?i visions. 3rd. We would impress upon our Dep? uty Grand Worthy Patriarchs the im? portance of prompt and regular quarterly reports to our Grand Worthy. Patriarch. 4th. We recommend that bur Qrand Worthy Patriarch* carry out his suggog. tions in reference to appointing new Deputies in place of those who, quarter after quarter, fail or neglect to make a report. All of which is respectfully sub? mitted. A. B. Towers, Chairman, John W. Moore, R. F. Diwer. On motion, a recess was taken until 4 p. m., in order to participate in the pub? lic meeting. afternoon session. The Grand Division resumed business, G. W. P., E. B. Murray, in the chair. Bro.

Twigg's Sword.?A Washing? ton dispatch states that a lady living in England has made Application for three valuable swords formerly the property of Gen. David E. Twiggs, of this State, but which were stolen by Beast Butler when the latter captured New Orleans. These swords were sent by Butler to Presi? dent Lincoln and deposited by his suc? cessor, President Johnson, in the vaults of the Treasury Department for safe? keeping. They are valued at $35,000. One of them was presented to Gen. Twiggs by Congress for bravery during the Mexican war. The scabbard is of pure gold, and the sword hilt is of solid gold, brilliantly set with diamonds. It is said that when Gen. Twiggs left New Orleans, at the approach of the Union troops, he left these swords behind, but sent a letter to a young lady friend, say? ing that he had decided to give them to her, and asking her to obtain them.? Soon afterward Gen. Twiggs died, and tho lady, who now lives in England, claims the swords as her property, and ^^^^t^i^a^^^rj^J^^r^^'^^^d^^^^^^Ll^e^^e^^ Fun' on the Farm.?We have often beard the remark "How dull farming tnuat be," or "who would live in the country, where there are no opportuni? ties for fun 1" Well, if you want to know what genuine fun is, just pitch in and help break a pair of three year old steers. First you catch a steer and tie him by the head to a post in the yard. Then you catch the other one and tie him around the horns. Then your dad gets the yoke, and between you two and the hired man hold the critter. Just as you slip the knot, away go the steers with a bawl and a bellow?or rather a pair of bellows?and then arise before your vis? ion a confused mixture of horns, heels, ropes, dad, hired man and curses of siiupidity that reminds you of the pic? ture of volcanic eruption in the old geographies. And that's only the bo finning of the fun. By and by dad gets old ot one rope and the hired man the other, and run races down the lane?the steers "neck and neck," the old man per? forming the curse on the serpent. Then there is the time in haying, when dad undertakes to show you how to mow over a bumblebee's nest. He ain't afraid of these bees, nor needn't be?just go right along?they never sting unless you fight 'em ; and then, "Whish !" git out o' the way! and he departs for the house and hartshorn on a dead run, at tho business end of a dozen yellow legged bumblebees. Oh no, there isn't any fun on a farm. ? New York Commercial: "The Troy Times suggests that Ben Butler challenge Mr3. Jenks?weapons, spoons."
