C THURSDAY, NOVEMBEK 4,192* FIRST DRY SOCIETY ORGANIZED IN 1805 ■ r P',- Formed By a Few Prohibitioniats In a Connecticut Town, Rec ords Show. Hard liquor drinking- in t'he young -United States was fraw#tecba^by cpld water advocates as early as 1805. for correspondence just brought to . light 1 tells of .the formation of a temperance society in that year. It is claimed that it was the first of its kind in the country. The body called itself the Simsburyi Aquatic Society, although it had noth ing to do with swimming. The conespondence was brought out by Nathan L. Miller, of Bloomfield Conn., grandson of Benjamin Elj\ author of the records and lexers and clerk of the scciety. The letters show j that the drys of 1805 were fully as earnest in their efforts to promote so- i bricty through non-use of liquors as those of the present day, and they had thg fighting spirit in trying to enforce their rules. The notes tell of early skirmishes of prohibitionists of tnat day. who were treated with contempt and scorn by most of their neighbors. Although the letters fail to reveal the total membership of the society, one dated ^August 13, 1805; showed that three kept their vows. In an early letter Mr. Ely suggested that the co-operation of school teach ers be sought in the movement say- ing, “There would be an end of balls, gambling, tavern hunting, etc., and the money now wasted in these wicked vanities would be laid out in the pur chase of useful books and the time spent in dances would be employed in reading.” Another exhibit is one to Asa Hum- phi-ey, about June 25th, 1805, entitled “First Book of the Chronicles of the Aquailcs, Chapt. 31st.” This letter, written in Biblical phraseology, told of a neighbor who, having taken a pledge, fared much better physically, mentally and financially. It warned against one Jesse, who “hath joined himself to R. U. M.” The hope that the society may “con tinue and increase till all the Copper Stills in America shall be coined into cents” is expressed in another letter. The letters showed that a temperance p-edge was renewed monthly. Other iequipments for membership were: ~ That a member guilty of profane swearing should be admonished for the first offense and expelled for the second; that each member should read at least thirty-one chapters of the Bible monthly, and that each should read something ctmposed by himself or relate a story he had read in same book, or pay a fine of three cents. Thornwell Battles Gaffney Tomorrow ■-V* - 1 Thornwell goes out of its district Friday and takes ,on the Gaffney high team, said to be one of the outstand ing contenders for the state title this year. This will be the first real chance for the orphans to display their ability, as most of their games have b^en handed to them^y setups,' and two forfeitures, one by Newberry, and the other by. Johnston, saved them the tiouble of playing, and added two points to the 288 already earned, mak ing a total of 290. While the preceding games have given them an outstanding record they have also taken toll in the form of injuries, and as a result of them^ two regular backs will see li.tcle or no sen-ice Friday. These are Orell Dun lap, who sustained leg injuries in the Woodruff game, and Howard Stamps, who has an injured shoulder. If these men do not play against Gaffney, it will be because of necessity, and not because Gaffney is taken lightly, for Gaffney also has a fine record behind her, not having been beaten, and is 6:45 p. m., Intermediate and Senior regarded by many as the 1926 cham- Christian Endeavor Societies meet, pion, as she has probably a better | 7:30 p. m..

The leader, Rev. W. N. Johnson, D. D., of Mars Hill, N. C., ar rived in the city last Saturday and spoke at the First Presbyterian church Sunday morning and addressed a large congregation at a union service in the evening held in the North Broad Street Methodist church. It had been planned to have the confeience continue through this week, but on account of a-previous engagement, Dr. Johnson was compelled to bring the series of addresses to a close last night. He spoke twice daily and made a profound impression upon all who heard him as a Bible scholar and pleasing speaker. Boxing Exhibition At College Gym mg.
