Attention, Friends of Temperance.
On Saturday night December 1st,
3883 the procemiL1on which i'arched
through the streets with a band of
iuisic cheering .) fo the success of
"'the vet" or the \''License"I ticket, ap
proached( with lively Ilnsle tlie resi
dence of the President of the Women's
Christian Temperance union, who is
also the Recordilg Secretary of the W.
%. T. U., of the State of Sout II CIroi
n4a. They halted, ordered a deep s4
lence, theni began a succession of
deep roans-occasioiilly interrupted
by such questions as Where's your
church," "Where's your church to
night," Where's your dead ! Bring
out your dead ! "We'll buy your dead,"'
and other thhings too low to record.
They then called aloud "Play the dead
march to )r. Wallter," and they play
()dl it aid wNent oi' playing it.
.1 went out inte the yar(l as they ap
proached the house ti-t I inight for
inyself know the inealing< of the dem
onstration, as my humsbanid, Dr. Wal
rer, was not at home. I supposed at.
jirst it was intended for hilln as an o1li
(ial but when .1 lea-ned that before the
procesion a pyroache~d ou r d weling t hey
had gont through the burial pei form
anevs at his store. I saw thiat it was
intended a. an insult to the W. C. T. U.
OVerI' my head. I iever .felt. h appier
for imyselr or inore grieved for others
in Iny life, for it was a voluntary aiO
indisputable proof and illustration of
Ihe cbarneter and spirit of the Inien
who lead am l coipose the I ieeCnse. par

I call Iupoln every m1ali, wvoluan and
(Aild in the State to 'e ililber this
historie fact. in the histor y of the Ten
