THE CLINTON CHRONICLE. CLINTON. S. 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

beat Thornwell for the upper state
ttle, and the right to play Charleston.
, As the two teams belong to differ
ent districts, the outcome will have no
bearing cn the race, and neither will
be eliminated, and it is thought that
it will be better to take on a Team
th ; s week, even though not in the best
condition, rather than be idle.

Bible Conference
; Closed Last Night
The Stewardship conference con
ducted at the First Baptist church for
the past three days, came to a close
last night. 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.
