victory won is greatly misled we again thank you lor your help and invoke a perpetuation of your influence and support and humbly ask your indul gence while we seek to present the claims of the sons of temperance to others and commend the order to the favorable con sideration of the community brothers ladies and gentlemen : the sons of temperance have an ob ject clear and well defined before their minds their designs are open to full in spection their means no less visible than the object they design to arrest the evils of intemperance the means are abstinence from all participation in the production sale or drinking of the article causing intemperance and the cultivation of those affections whicli lead directly to the social and personal well being of all belonging to the order it is needless at present to dwell on the evils which spring from intemperance they are so manifest so numerous and so hor ribly appaling that none can be ignorant of tlieir woful prevalence to say men are slain wives heart-broken children beggared crime induced misery of every sort and magnitude accumulated is only to affirm what all of ns know though the evils tire ot this frightful magnitude yel it is certain they may be arrested in part if not in whole enlightened pub lic opinion the great lever ot reforms can do much to amend il not effectually re move lhe enormities caused bythisseduc tive vice this becomes so evident as to require no farther proof by simply reflect ing oil wbal has been done we are ful ly persuaded that il the efforts to cure these evils bore any considerable propor tion to ihe vastness ol their power ihey might !»:• greatly alleviated if not effect ually destroyed it i a linn convict ion lhal the strength i intemperance can be broken are i;s sway indefinitely dimin ished tint binds together the bro hep-hood ofthe sons of te tn i'i i they do lol ly believe he fearful evil may be stayed they are pledged it shall lie within the circle of their influence they are also resolved on widening the ciiele antl em bracing within their influence as many as possible the design is thus fully stated because many suppose th.it as he sons of tem perance choose not to hold their regular meetings in the presence of those whoop pose them therefore there must be some thing dark or mysterious if not vicious or criminal in their proceedings is it to be considered a fault in a bank bill that it has a mark known alone to those who issue it and are responsible for its redemp tion ? is it not the very circumstance that the managers have taken the necessary precaution to avoid imposition that bank bills and banks maintain the public con fidence ? why then should not they who are laboring for the good of men the coun try at large and whose success depends upon the confidence of the community be allowed a word or mark by which they can recognize their true friends from their assured ones ? has the temperance cause suffered nothing from spurious friends we need hut call to mind the numerous lecturers thronging the country a few years ago whose lives and conduct were a burlesque if nothing worse on phi lanthropy and patriotism to be fully sat isfied that if temperance men would re tain public confidence they must guard effectually against impositions this is the reason of lhe pass word about which so much is said and whicli in appearance only is an exception to the open means they employ and design to employ here let me remark that there need be and indeed cannot be any quarrel between a true friend ot temperance and a son of temperance if they fairly understand each other before answering the objections raised against ihe order by many well disposed to the temperance reform ; i wish to call attention to a few historical facts the temperance movement has been in progress some twenty years it has ex hibited beauty and deformity light and shade at different periods of its progress at one lime triumph seemed just at hand and to force on the ev nt ultraist seized i:i ' with bold enthusiasm and raised the cry the work moves too slow and forth with created such confusion aud noise hat the thoughtful and prudent deemed it advisable to let go for fear of mischief and disaster wine was to be excluded from sacrament cider beer and ale were to furnish the tests of a man's worth mor al and political things came to such a pass thai the prudent must either seem to advocate lhe cause of drunkenness or sanction the measures of fanaticism sucii was its slate when the washingto nians conceived they had found out the sure and certain mode of accomplishing a complete reformation and of killing off the use of ardent spirits but it so hap pened these also failed to accomplish all that was hoped for them still they did much theorder of lhe sonsof temper ance was established by the friends ol temperance with a view lo amend the delects that were apparent in the other organizations the leading purpose was to bring the friends nearer to each and establish a more rigid accountability and stricter supervision over each other — whether this too shall fail time alone can reveal that it is better adapted to pre j terve its conquests little doubt remains in v the minds of its friends it might possi bly be so modi lied as to be more aggres sive in its nature but it is doubtful,whe ther this advantage could be secured with out lessening its preservative energies so its friends without claiming for it per fection believe it decidedly the most ef fective temperance organization ever de vised by man the good that has already been done gives high hopes for the future there are many who desire to see the cause prosper and to bless the human race keep aloof from temperance societies ; and from their respectability and virtue their objections are entitled to considera tion we therefore propose to examine a few of them ) one of the most promi nent and respectable from its connection with the highest and most important in stitution known to earth is that the organ ization ol the sonsof temperance is sub versive of the church and seeks to ac complish by human agency what it was designed to effect and thus it is said that human wisdom rises above divine and that man presumes to know better how to reform man than his maker it is farther said that the church is a great temperance organization of itself that whoever is a member of the church can not unite with any such associations with out descending from the higher to the lower ground and thereby detracting from the dignity of his position as a believer in the divine authenticity of the church — in answering these objections we must understand two things our relation to the chin ch and our relation to our fellow men in ms\ve to the question what is our re lation to the church : we would reply unqualified obedience to the head of the church jesus christ we would not have it understood that by obedience to the church we are bound to obey those de crees and dogm is which men prompted by am ilion and bigotry have proclaimed as the laws of the church and claimed for them authority over men's consciences no it is the church of the bible having christ for its head and law-giver that men are bound to obey his revealed will is the law : to his laws and government we owe implicit obedience and supreme al legiance if it be assumed that a member of the church thus related cannot be as sociated with any other organization i'or whatever purpose it leads to a frightful position indeed say then we belong to the church and may not belong to any other organization adopting worldly means or having worldly ends in view and where will it drive to we belong to the church then according to this assump tion we may not join a literary society it is a worldly association we may not be a member of a company organized to build a rail road this is a worldly ob ject we may not be in a company to build a mill or construct a ship we may not by any means belong io a political party for it is large and may do mischief we may not at all be a citizen or sub ject for then we must obey human laws and regulations ; and we belong to the church and it enacts the only laws right to obey and her ministers not ministers of the law must be heeded this as sumption then would drive us from the world or lead directly to the union of church and state with the higher prero gatives of church authority exercised over men in all relations we all know the bible teaches us better than this we not only may but we must be united for the fulfilling of the duties of the other rela tions which we bear we can no more destroy the fact that we are related to men than that we owe obedience to the laws of god while one is supreme it claims by virtue of its supremacy that the duties of the other be performed and points authoritatively that we must do good to others as far as in us lies now who can see any thing either in the prin ciple of organization of sons of temper ance or means of accomplishing the ends incompatible with doing good to others the sons of temperance deny they are subvers]ve to lhe church in any of its claims they as an organization may help the church and be an instrument in her hands as learning printing the arts and ihe sciences have been abettors of her plans and used as means to send lhe gospel to the destitute she mav grasp in ihe same way this organization for it bor rows its principles its motives and plans from the treasure-house ofthe church — vve may as sons of temperance reach cases that tin church cannot in its ordi nary mode of procedure the sons of temperance had never been in existence but for the vital energies of the church diffusing power emiting light and stirring action where it never would have been thought of so far from being subversive of the church it is the offspring of chris tian benevolence warmed into vigorous action by the fostering care of the church itself the most prominent personage urging this argument in this slate 1 have mason to fear has been guided to this con clusion ral her by a love of the ardent than l>y the cool deductions of his intellect 1 have too much respect for his pretensions as a man of mind to believe his judg ment uninfluenced by passion would have sunk so far below the just estimate of those noble appliances offered to the church as instruments to be employed in the renovation ofthe world 1 the re is another objection urged by some that it may be well to notice some tell us to quit drinking is well enough ; but to require men to promise upon honor neither to make nor sell is pushing the requisition too far especially for this coun ty for say they this will interfere with trade and lead to the ruin of the commu nity since every thing here depends upon the money brought into the county by whiskey i can hardly trust myself to speak of this business for view it as i will it has so very little to commend it that i am at a loss how to reconcile the subject as it appears with the known good sense practical judgment and generous sentiments of many interested in making and selling whiskey i have come my self to the conclusion that it would be better to abandon it at once that it would be for the pecuniary and moral advantage of our country and no less so for our own county show many the moral and social ills the exceeding degradation arising from the production and sale of liquor and they are entirely insensible of any sort of connection therewith they made or sold it or both as the case may be but did not drink it and therefore they cannot be at all the cause of those deaths and suffer ing around them we need not then ar gue with men of this class on this ground at all though ia fact it is and must al ways so appear to right minded persons the strongest on which lo argue this point but for tiie sake o gaining their attention for the present they may choose and main tain their favorite position with their own argument fairly stated it is the only means say they of getting money to pay our taxes to support the church and pay for those little conveniences not produced on a farm if it were possihie lor a sin gle individual solitary and aloe.e to pro duce sell antl get his money there might be some force in the argument admit that whiskey brings money and more than any other article now brings in'o this county it do**s not follow that there is no other nor even a better way to invest capital and expend industry let us try this by facts and calculation there were senventy-five distilleries in davie county in 1810 with an investment of 820,000 capital which produced 109.293 gallons of whiskey thpre have been some fai lures some new distilleries put into ope ration so that balancing fractions that may be assumed as a fair average year's production supposing the fraction of 9 90 gallons consumed at home there re mains 100.000 gallons for market that at home worth 25 cents per gallon on an average amounts to 82~j ii do when hauled an average distance of 75 miles worth 30 cents per gallon and amounts to 30,000 the hauling allowing 300 gals to the 4 horse load and 830 per trip amounts to exactly 10,000 cost of corn allowing 3 gallons to the bushei is at 3d cents per bushel 10,000 board clothing and wages of 76 hands at 100 each per year number employed in 1840 7,600 interest on capital invested 820 000 is 1,200 one thousand cords of svood at 50 cents per cord is 500 29,300 this sum taken from 830.000 what the crop brings at a distance of 75 miles leaves the sum of 8700 to be divided among lhe 75 distilleries to pay for the cooperage milling rye and time and attention of general su pervision this estimate is founded of the market price to get the market price at an average distance of 75 miles the distillers pay 810.000 off the home valuation reducing lhe income to 15.000 instead of 9:25.000 what the whiskey was estimated to be worth showing it to be a loosiag busi less i might be led fo question the accuracy of this result al though 1 have looked in vain for the error but lor ihis fact that many men ol mv ac quaintance h.ave tried the business keep ing a fair estimate and have found it a loosing business when thev made the grain and distilled ir and hauled off the production wiih their own force thus thf trial oi many of our besl farmers cor

his fellow citizens to leave off such an investment and such a mode of industry ' bit we nre no done yet with those who plead for it who now will pay ihem/or the drain on their lands ' all ihis has gone off from the oil what return is made to keep it productive ? nothing remains but lhe swill or " slop which is considered the real part of the gain in the business this when fed to hogs and cattle fallen them and enables the distiller always to be in the pork and beef maiket isthe lea made by ihe distiller here unless my obser vations are deceptive is another element of delusion it lakes she grain in its pure state either ground or whole lo bitten hogs i notice that lhe distillers give near ly if not quite as much grain as others »•> iheir hogs and that they tin generally hog buyers although they give greater attention to their hogs than others it can not theretore be neglect on their part that they have not so many as they want the known fecundity of lhe race is such that with exception of occasional distempers suitable food ensures with prudent care a supply equal to any demand it requires unceasing care to keep up a stock of hogs on swill and without grain hogs rapidly degenerate so that after all this a poor compensation for the drain of lands and assiduous care requisite to prevent loss on the investment there is another fact to be taken into account for every family raised with a distillery kept in it/there is at least one drunkard made by the distil lery what is to pay for this loss it i notorious tjjat distilleries vitiate the sen sibilities of many whom ihey do not en tirely ruin ; so ihat there is a heavy ac count against them on the score of inju ries to community there is yet another item worthy of estimate at least one out of four who embark in distilleries become insolvent who is to make amends to the county for losses on this score we will leave out of our calculation the moral and mental injuries inflicted where are the dollars and cents to come from that repay the losses incurred in production of ar dent spirits ? there is something out of joint in the valley of the yadkin no lands in xorth carolina of equal fertility which have been
