In oontemplating the addition of five new
Divisions the pest quarter, compered with
the operations of tUesiiM quarter last year,
in which no additions were made, we feel a
high degree of satisfaction which is only
ttaarred by the remembrance that there appears
to be a numerical decline in the older
Divisions, and, therefore, your Committee
would urge tlie members, of this body to
make continued and determined efforts to
secure the services of an efficient lecturer to
canvass the State, and also to establish, at
the earliest possible moment, a journal devoted
to the-advocacy t>f our noble cause.
Xour Committee heartily endorse the
views of the'' Grand Scribe, in rebfipn to the

ftitAXcriviM.it, S. C.. Jan. 20, 1857.
We the Committee to whom was referred |
the G. W. P's first Quarterly Report, beg j
leave respectfully to submit the following !
REPORT:
The Committee would first congratulate i *
this body upon the healthy condition of the |
Order generally. Although not increased i'
in number materially, vet thorc seems to be |
more zeal and determination to carry out the j
objects of our noble Order manifested than 11
for some time past. The reports received
from different sections are really encourag- j
ing, and should inspire us with the hope 1<
that ere long the end for which we are con-11
tending shall be attained.
Your Committee would bring to your no- j
tico the suggestion of the G. \V. P. in reference
to punctual attendance upon our i
weekly meetings. Wo heartily concur with I
<i.. i\ \\r i-? -- i >i
mo Vjr. u. J Ztliu WOllMl lirgO lipOll tllC
members of Subordinate Divisions the great!
necessity of attending their weekly meetings, |
as upon it depends the prosperity and sue-j
cess of the whole Order.
The Trnct enterprise, which has been in
successful operation, under charge of an able ,
and efficient Committee, we would reeom-j
mend to your further favorable consideration
and support. By these tracts we often reach i
and gain over those whom we could not pos-1
sibly touch by any other means, as many
who are opposed to us will not, and cannot,
be induced to listen to argument or yield to
the entreaty of friends.
The newspaper which is in contemplation j
as an organ of litis body, recommends itself
to the aid and support of every true Son of1
Temperance, as a measure of vital import-1
ance. A society without a medium of com 1
municntion with the world, cannot promise
success to any plan proposed, however well
directed, when public opinion are to he |
wrought up and changed which have been
long accustomed to certain usages and habits.
\V? would, therefore, urge upon this
body and the Subordinate Divisions to take
hold of this matter with a right spirit, and
endeavor to establish a Tempernnco newspaper
upon a firm and solid hasia?to avai?
yourselves efficiently in obtaining subscribers
to the paper.
We tvotild further favorably report upon
the suggestion of the G. W. P. in regard to
bringing up and publishing the Minutes of
tliift Grand Division, and the Rules and Principles
of the Grand and National Divisions,
in pamphlet or some durable form, so they
may be preserved, which has been placed
under care of a Committee, whom wo hope
will soon have the work properly executed.

" Dear Pric*?I tend proceeding* of the
Grand Division. He?M notice your proof,
And do not have me ear what I do not in
lend. I end a list of the Division* iir the |
Stats, to which- you will please mail ten copies
each., Do not loee if, for, juntas* our
glow brethren get to work in -good- earnest,
you may be called upon to publish our proceedings
for some time to come. I understand
that only thrtt hundred subscribers
have been added to the list of the new Temperance
paper, proposed to be publishod in
Columbia. .This is just what I expected,
and is a crying shame ou those who are unmindful
of the enterprise.
Your " Enterprise " is, I trust, more successful
than we can dare hope ours to be;
yet, there is no reason that ours might not
be eminently so, save that selfishness, of
rather a low order, is too ofien a prominent
characteristic of fallen humanity. Thanks,
tlint even in such hearts there are many redeeming
traits. Is there any liopo for our
cause where self absorbs every other feeling !
Certainly, to a limited extent; for enlightened
&elfi>h policy will eschew grog as the greatest
banc to success. But in tho higher and
nobler aspects of progress, little can be expected
whilo selfishness rules tho masses.
Thus it is, that in taking care of our own
wo sometimes forget the interests of others ;
and, very often, the solemn fact might be
truthfully recorded, that the more rapid our
worldly success, the more certain our moral
decline. This need not be. To help others
is the surest way to help ourselves. To raise
our brethren from degradation to our own
level, but places us one step higher, and the
good of one member of society is the good
of tho whole. Hut enough of this for the
present.
Much to the disappointment of the good
brethren at Hranchvilte, our meeting of the
Grand Division was thinly attended. Why
were not more of the brethren there ? The
accommodations were more than ample, and
all that hospitality could suggest, or inge
nuity prepare, was ready for our reception ;
and the only regret was, that there weio so
few, as recipients of such disinterested favor.
Arrangements had been mado for a pr< cession
on Thursday, but the weather would
not admit ?f that which we all so much desired.
There are about forty lady visitors
who honor Hranchville Division with their
presence and influence, and nearly or quite
