Emmit: Having lind the pleasure of attending a meeting lust Saturday at Picrcetowu on thc subject of Prohibition, I desire to give you a sketch ot thc occa sion, though ii will be a very imperfect one. According to previous announcement, Mr. Janies Mlllllkin, the oldest gentle man in the upper part of tho county, ad dressed a large crowd, who hail asseni bledi al the above named place, on tho subject of Prohibition, taking a bold stand against it. At the outset lio sahl In would prove that prohibition is anti Christian : that it isontrary to tho teach ings of the Old arti New Testaments: and that there would be more drunken ness under a prohibitory law than there would bc if every niau was allowed to make and usc just as much as he pleased without restriction. He derived all bis authority from the Bible. I do not re member all of bis references, but ho re ferred to the place whero all were invited to come and buy "iriiie ?ixl milk" with out money and without price, which he claimed showell that wine bail bien placed here for a good purpose and was lnteiub ?I to lu- used by mai' He referred to th.- institution of.the Lord's Supper, where Christ said, "I will drink no more of the fruit of thc vine until that day thal I drink it anew in the kingdom of (?oil," which he said showed clearly that Chris! anil Iiis Disciples wore in the habit ol drinking wino. He made mention, also, of the turning of water into wine al tlu marriage feast, which showed that C'lirisi rccogni/.od tho custom of tisi.ig wine on such occasions, and which, he further ile dared, proved, from thc amount ofwutei changed into wine, that the Savioui aimed to have plenty. Ho used this fuel to prov e that there would bo less drunk, ciniess if all wero allowed to have, maki and Use just as much OJ they please? without restriction. His remarks wen somewhat tedious. Ho concluded hy saying that he could provo his last prop osition as well us he had proven the first but time would not permit. His speed wau most ingeniously arranged, am showed great care of preparation. After Mr. Mlllllkin was through, Kev (L Mci?. Hogers replied, saving, with al due respect for his venerable friend's ag; and honest convictions, ho took ox act 1 j tho opposite view, vi/..: that wine wa the greatest curso ever placed on earth and the usc of it os a Leverage is anti Christian. lu support of his sitie ho re ferred to the casu'if Noah, Lot, tho tw sons of Aaron, who were Priests, sun other passages in the Bible. Ho sititl al though Noah was at thc timo of hi drunkenness the only Priest, tho mil; prophet and the only poacher of righi ousncss oh earth, three hundred and til t years of his life was lost to tile people i consequence of his getting drunk ; tilt two short verses wound up the history ? this great man, who lived thrco hundrc and fifty years after ho got drunk. I tho caso of Lot, ho said, history had nove recorded a crime of dcenor dye-it ls to black to speak of. In the ca-so of the tw sons of Aaron, it was shown that win would causo tho violation of law, cn that their lives hud paid tho drcadfi penalty of their drunkenness. "Take little wino for thy stomach's sako," whir shows that it should not bo used as beverage "A Bishop should bc a mn not given to wine." "A Deacon shoul not be given to much wine." At tho close of Mr. Hogers' speed Rev. S. I .under, of Williamston, wt culled by thc crowd, ami responded in very appropriate extempore speech. I said wo must lake tho Scriptures accori inc to their rronera) tenor,audnot accori ing to detached sentences. That it wi no argument to say a prohibitory la would not bo enforced, for the luv against murder, burglary, arson, bucen Ac, wero not perfectly enforced. That could not be said if wo would not troub whiskey it would not troublo us, for li own experience taught him Letter. Tho discussion was very pleasant, ai not tho least animosity was exhibite All who spoke of lt in my presence sa Temperance had gained u decided vi tory. C. A Day in Anderson C. H. On Lust Sabbath wo occupied the pulpit Rev. Dr Fricrson, who is seeking health thc springs. His congregation have giv liiin a vacation of ovo or thrco months the hope that ho may regain bis wonl strength. We had not been in Anderson since i war, except to spend a night. We fount one of thc most growing towns in thc Stn On every bund there arc indications prosperity. Wc saw new residences, n stores and new churches going up. 'I Presbyterian church, in w hich wo preach is itself one of thc best indications of progress of the village It is one of i most handsome and substantial churches thc up country, lt is not quite complet but will certainly cost not les- than ci; thousand ?lollar- when all the finish touches aie put an ;t, and thut too with material und work ?ill at the lowest ra lt is a large brick building with base il! and audience room. The latter will si we suppose, four hundred anti fifty pcrsi The church, when completed, will b credit lo thc denomination and an oi ment to thc town. We mis?, that its loved (.astor may live long to preach i the unsearchable richea of Christ, and I the dedication of the new building i prove the beginning of renewed pros pc and spiritual activity to the congrega.) While in Anderson wc were the cues Mr. (1. F. Tolly. He and his amiable ? laid us under many obligations by theil pealed acts of kindness. May thc Lon: ward them ' Mr. Tully is the well kill furniture dealer, nnd bas the largest si on hand to be found outside of Charles! we judge.

Ki nous; Sumo timo ago you Were kimi enough to publish at my sug gestion an extiact on thc moral pf?aso of tho tempor?neo question, showing that eighty-four per eent. of criuo in ono of tho Lui ted Sutes was traceable, directly or indirectly, nj tho uso of ardent spirits. 1 now request that you publish tho fol lowing, that shows us tho causes of tho heavy taxes wo have to pav. No Words of mino aro necessary; these statement:* and figures speak' for themselves. Let us, as taxpayers, read and ponder them. W. H. S. "Taxpayers, especially farmers, often complain (and with good reason) that their taxes aro so burdensome. Now, it is asserted bj* tho highest judicial author ity of this country (and the assertion U founded upon their experience on the hench) that eight-tenths of all thc crluio, criminal arrosts ami prosecutions, pov erty and wretchedness in tho land ts traceable to the liquor traille as its cause. This hoi OL'so. thou this millie is tho cause of eight-tenths ol all the costs of the criminal arrests, incarcerations and pros ecutions. "Ami Inasmuch its at least ono-halt ol' all the State, county and municipal ex penses is caused by such arrests, inoarca rations and prosecutions, therefore tho State, county and municipal tuxoj aro just double what they would hts but f>>r ihr liquor traffic. "Yes, taxpayers, your taxes aro just double every year by this dumnublo traillo in intoxicating liquors-a traille that brings no good huta hell of woo to the people. "If a farmer's Stuto and county taxes for thc year arc $20, then $10 of that amount ho is compelled to pay to secure thu punishment of the crimes produced by the salo of whiskey and beer; and if prohibition v'ure enacted and enforced Iiis taxes would soon bo out down ono hulf. If the owner of town property pays annually in State, county and municipal taxes $50, then $-."> of "that amount tho liquor trafile compels him to pay. Tax payers, think of these indisputable facts, und it you uro tired of paying heavy t-'\c-s i ute prohibition ' The State, county and municipal taxes in Maine aro not half as high now as they were before that Stale enacted and en forced prohibition. Thor?" arrests for drunkenness and assault and battery ure almost unknown, ami tho jails, peniten tiaries and almshouses aro almost empty. Yes, farmers and property-owners, if you wish low luxes vole ami help to en force prohibition, and thereby aid in de stroying tho expensive, detestable, ruin ous, besotting, impoverishing, wlfo-beat iug, children-starving, soul-damning liquor traille. "During the year !s72 there was ex pended in tho United Slates for intox il a tivo beverages $7:15,720,048. This is al most as much as wxs spout ?luring thc same year by* tho people of this country for Hour, sugar, molasses, cotton and woolen goods, and boots und shoes. This drink bill equals all thc wages paid all tho mechanics and skilled labor du ring the same limo, lt is two million dollars moro than all tho money earned during Hie same year by all ibo railroads in the United Stales, ft is eigtit times as much as wo pay per year for all the sup port of all our schools and colleges, lt is twelve times ;us much as tho cost of our printing newspapers, periodicals ami books. lt is eight times the estimate value of all the public libraries in this country. Is twice th? value of ull tho church property in this country, lt is eighteen times as much as was contribu ted in the same year by uti tho peoplo of ibo United States for tho support of the Gospel and all missionary and benevo lent enterprises. All tho Stuto, county ami city dobla of this country In 1872 wort? $808,070,758. Stop liquor drinking one year and wo could pay olf nil these debts. "Let all who deploro heavy tuxes and all Christians and philanthropists rally for the complete prohibition ot the man ufacturo and salo of intoxicating liquors, and thereby cut short this terrible waste, tho unmitigated curse.
