Emancipation Celebration Fine
Weather—lmmense Crowds—ln
terest Growing—flood Order.
Last Tuesday was the anniversary of
the emancipation of the Southern slaves.
The rain of the day previous was dis
couraging to some, but early on this
morning, the clouds had disappeared and
the rain bad begun drying the streets.
All the morning trains brought in crowds
of peopls and the country roads were
crowded with vehicles, horsemen and
footmen. Early in the forenoon the
principal streets were crowded.
Two brass bands directed the ciowd
to the Presbyterian church where the
procession was formed. The Charlotte
Light Infantry with their beautiful new
uniform with overcoats and shining bay
onets led close behind a band of martial
music. They were commhnded by
Capt C S L A Taylor, Lieutenants Cun
ningham and Butler were also on hand.
The Neptuno Fire Company and the
Odd Fellows with their varied hues fol
lowed close behind the soldiers, while
the country organizations and the citi
zens followed. The speakers and offi
cers rode in open carriages.
The line of march was: Up 7th to
Tryon, down Tryon to Trade, down
Trade to Mint, down Mint to Clinton
Chapel where the exercises were- held.
The church is the largest In the city, but
could hold only about half of the crowd.
At 12:50 o'clock Prof Taylor called
the house to order. Prof Raittey’s choir
sang and prayer was offered by the
chaplain, Rev E C Davidson. The
prayer was fervent and pathetic, con
trasting the present with the past and
thanking God, the giver, for the great
' blessings we now enjoy. It brought
about a solemnity that lasting through
out the meeting.
The programme was then entered
upon as follows:
Announcing the Officer of the Day—
by tha Reading Clerk. Sergeant J J L
Taylor. Music.
General Introduction, Capt. C S L A
Taylor.
Reading the Proclamation—By Mr
Anthony Haglor. Music.
Reading the Poem—By Mist Gertrude
Brown. Music,
The Annual Oration—By the Orator,
Mr Jamas E King. Music.
Reading of Resolutions. &c.. bv the
Ch-rk. 3
Doxology and Benediction.
On the platform besides the committee
and officers, were: Revs P P Alston. A
▲ Powell, R I> Wyche and J A Tyler.
The alter was nicely decorated with
flags, bunting and pictures. Over the
platform hung a large picture of Presi
dent Lincoln and of President Grant,
also a-picture of the Neptune Fire Com
pany and engine.
Sergeant J J L Taylor, the reading
clerk, is what is by some termed, a
“beardless youth,” but, being “a chip
from the main block,” (we can't say old,)
he has that dignified, manly and soldier
ly bearieg characteristic of a Taylor.
Capt Taylor needs no commendation.
He bore his part as is usual.
Mr Anthony Haglcr read the procla
mation in a loud, distinct and faultless
manner. He has a beautiful, deep, mu
sical base voice, particularly pleasing to
the ear.
Mias Gertrude Brown recited in a Ks
clnating and faultless style, “The Flag
of the Nation.” The poem could not
have been better rendered by the com
poser. Miss Brown’s enunciation, gest
ures and handling of the flag were per
fect. Her gestures of the hands, arms
and body, indicating, "surging billows,
etc.,” was a difficult task gracefully per
formed. Miss Brown surpassed the ex
pectations of her most sanguine Mends
and won a laurel she will wear, many
je>n.
Mr J E King's oration Was simply
grand. Any comment by us would be
an injustice to Mr King. His speech
was most excellently prepared of just
such matter as do the heart and sout
good. No one was surprised at his elo
quence, but the solid, logical reasoning
of the speech took us by surprise. It
was a grand speech, well suited to the
occasion.
Resolutions of thanks to the officers
and to the ladles for their aid in dec
' were passed.
'noxtaftmittec of ladies who decorated
the church were: Mrs R C Moore, Mrs
H B Kennedy, Mrs 0 T Thomas and Mrs
Frank Morrow. The committee np
rioted on the next celebration is; Geo
Melton, Geo H Johnson, J COwSming
ham, Jesse Walker.
The music by the choir was good
throughout *hc cxe; rses. The National
hymn, anthems, cto, were sung. The
choir was made up from the different
churches and led by Prof J K Ratley.
Alter the exercises the line of march
was re formed, bavins been largely
augmented by mounted men from the
country, etch carrying n flsg. The mil
itary returned to their armory, the fire
men to their ball and the others dishand
*w. Thus ended the celebration of the
fifitb anniversary of our emancipation.
We are assured thst ao convict labor
ran be used on the construction of three
•f the new roads. The charters prohibit
it. With that aasnraEC), and with the
prospect of common labor getting fair
wages here early Ofxt spring, we fgi#r
thg road".
OUR CHRISTMAS.
Christmas is gone and many have been
made happy. Tho day could not have
been better. It was clear and pleasant
and spring-like and a general good time
was had by all. Old Santa Claus came
the night before and visited the families
and left something to gladden the hearts
of the young folks on their rising Christ
mas morning.
Services were had at St Michael’s and
Clinton chapel. Good order was ob
served through tha day, there being loss
drunkenness than known here for a long
time on Christmas day.
The Christmas tree at Clinton Chapel
was in connection with the lyieum, find
here the children and friends received
their presen', a.
Tho tree at Graco church was well
loaded with many valuable presents.
Every member of the Sabbath school
received a present. The Christmas ser
vice was the best conducted ever at any
of our churches here. Good order was
had and everybody left well pleased.
The house was crowded. Superintend
ent Smith and Dr Williams surprised
their best friends. Mrs Mary E Moore
rendered valuable assistance to the choir,
which furnished excellent music.
A FEW SUGGESTIONS.
The following are some of the sug
gestions to our mind during the exer
cises last Tuesday:
A singing club should be organized,
consisting of the best talent from all the
churches.
Mechanics have had more work here
the last year than for a long time, on ac
count of building the factories. It will
be ao with tho laborer if we build the
railroads.
We would like to hear the following
quartette sing: C. S. L. A. Taylor, bass;
J. E. Ratley, tenor; Mrs. Alice Wed
dington, alto; Mrs. Millie Johnson, so
prano.
A military, or some sort of marching
company, should be orgauized in every
precinct in the county.
A pavilion to hold 5,000 people should
lie erected in this city, and it can be
done by colored men.
A great number of cattle driven
through Independence square on Tues
day was symbolical of the droves of
negroes for tale on the same spot thirty
years ago.
With as many roads as Atlanta, Char
lotte will soon surpass it in size and en
terprise.
Os the 4,000 people at the church, not
one was noisy or under the influence of
liquor. The order was perfect.
Some familiar faces were absent, some
are dead, while othsrs arc alive, but dis
interested.
There ahould boa well prepared
paper read to our people, at least once a
month, to do the unfulfilled work of our
lyceums and clubs.
Many people are leaving for the west
because they can’t get work here. Let
us vote for the railroads and that will
give us plenty of work and good wages.
It was sad and affecting to see old
men shed tears and sob while the
speaker referred to the days of our pa
rents’ slavery.
The young people were out in full
force on Tuesday, but they could not
appreciate the solemnity of the occa
sion ss the old folks.
There is but little opposition to the
railroads, but every man should vote to
insure against all doubts.
THE COMING ELECTION.
The election to bo held on the 10th of
next month to say whether or not the
county will subscribe to the building of
other railroads, is of much importance to
the laboring people. Tax will not hurt
the poor man for many genarations to
come and there should be no fear on
that account.
The more labor there is in the country
the better for the laborer. We are as
sured that convict labor will not lie em
ployed on these roads, and with that as
surance, hope that every colored man in
the county will vote for the subscription.
We know’of no opposition, but urge up
on our people the importance of a full
vote. As the unusual registration of the
last election will be counted, it is neces
sary to poll a very large vote in favor of
the subscription.
Vote for the railroads and if you don’t
work on them yourselves it will take so
many other men that it will leave the
freer to do your work and make your
wages better.
A Hint for Temperance Reformers.
Tlie owner of » corner liquor store up town
gave an interesting opinion as to the liest
way to curtail tbe liquor traffic the other
evening. Us bail been having a dull day
and was lamenting the fact that there hail
lieen little or no treating going on. "People
may talk ail they like aliout abolishing or
curtailing tbe liquor traffic,'’ be aaid, "but
they cant do It as long aa the treating habit
is followed up as it is now, it is treating
tbat gives most of us saloon keepers the most
of our Ibcome. If our customers come in one
by one snd get tbeir drlnss and go out tlie
receipts are very slow in footing up. But if
they meet in front of tbe bar and get sociable,
therein is our harvest When tney eet to
talking politics, then is the high noon of our
prosperity. If some of these people who de
cry the saloon so much would organize a suc
cessful movement for tbe repression of treat
ing, then tbs saloons would drop out of ex
igence much mors rapidly than tlie highest
sort of s high license law would make them.”

TEMPERANCE.
The Confession of Kins AlcohoL
Come, Alcohol, now answer me
'i be queations I shall nut to thee:
What is thine age? \Y hat is thine aim!
What is thy trade? What is thy name?
ANSWER.
My a ftp is more than a thousand years.
My aim, to fill the earth with tears,
My trade to kill and make expense,
My name it is Intemperance.
Long have I rule 1 upon the earth—
To every crime I’ve given birth.
I’m father of all grief and woe,
I spread distress where'er I go.
My dwelling place is at the bar,
My customers are near and far;
1 fill their heads. I drain their purse,
And turn their blessings to a curse!
I dally breathe a poisonous breath 1
My drink is liquid fire and death 1
My lodging-place is Satan’s seat!
My food is tilth and serpents’ meat!
My face is covered with a mask,
My hiding-place is in a cask;
My business is to gender strife,
And put asunder man and wife^
I visit grog-shops all around.
Where Satan is, I’m always round,
I am his waiter day and night,
His service is my chief delight.
He is my captain and my guide,
1 ulways stand close by his side;
I’ve killed more men, upon my word,
Than famine, pestilence, or sword.
With my deceitful flattering tongue,
I draw to me both old and young.
And -when I get them in my snare,
I chain them fast and keep them there.
But Temperance men I mostly dread,
For they ore ruining my trade.
And if their cause should further go,
’Twill prove my final overthrow.
• ¥ * * * *
Thus Alcohol disclosed to me
His character and destiny,
Altho’ a liar from his youth,
He now has blundered into truth.
Then, Temperance men be wide awake,
The foe begins to fear and quake.
Stand to your posts! Go hand in hand!
And drive this monster from the land!
Dr. Edward H. Carter.
Responsibility of tbe Saloon
-Ihe following is from an address by Hon.
Stewart 1. AVoodlord, before the Law and
Order League, Boston:
‘•During a term of seven years as prosecut
ing lawyer in the Federal service at New
York City, I seldom, during those seven
years, knew a c«se of criminal violation of
law by violence and force of arms that was
not either conceived or committed or ag
frevated by the use of intoxicating liquor.
have been present when the chairman of
the board that examines jails and poorbeuses
and asylums of New \ork went through
those places; and 1 know it is tbe simple
testimony of thoughtful, truthful i>eople that
liquor, in some form or other, is responsible
for three-fourths of the crimes of violence,
is responsible for three-fourths of tbe pauper
ism of the State of New York.
“Now, to tell me that the people have not
the right to regulate the traffic in liquor is to
insult my common sense. To tell me that
your duty is ended when you have written
the law is to insult your common sense. To
tell me that the liquor-dealer is responsible iu
to state an evident truth; but tbe logical
corollary of that thruth is this: the liquor
dealer will obey the law whenever the good
people of the State will insist that he shall,
and he won’t obey the law until you do insist
that he shall; and, if he does not obey the
law, the fault is yours just as much as it is
his.”
Reformed bi His Wife-
William Smith, at one time United States
Senator from Mouth Carolina, was, m his
youth, a wild fellow—as he himself expressed
it, “wild, reckless, intemperate, rude and
boisterous.” But he had a good wife who
never upbraided him, and who finally re
formed him.
Tho evening before the session of the Court
of Common Fleas a client called upon him,
with fifty notes to be put in suit. Mr. Smith
whs not in his office; he was on what is com
monly called a “spree.”
Mrs. Smith received the notes, and sat
down to the work of issuing tbe writs and
processes. She spent the night at work,
while Mr. Smith was spending it in ‘Tiotous
living.”
At daybreak, on his way home from his
carousals, bo saw a light in his office, and
went in. To his surprise, there sat his wife,
who had just completed wbat ought to have
been his work, and who had fallen asleep
w.th her bead on the table. His entrance
awoke her, and she showed him her night’s
work—fifty writs and processes.
This was too much for the strong man. He
fell on his knees, implored her pardon, and
promised never to drink another drop. He
kept his word, and from that day prosperity
attended hi m. —Ch i cayo Herald. ‘
The Results of Drinking.
None know better the results of alcholic
liquors upon those who drink them than
liquor-sellers. In the St. Ixmis Globe a bar
tender is reported as saying:
“Frequent drinking makes a glib tongue,
and matters that might be regarded as State
secrets outside the pale of the bar-room are
there discussed with a shocking lack of re
serve The funny part of it is that the bar
tender is taken seriously into the discussion,
and his opinions are treated as of great re
spect and authority by persons who, when
sober, have no companionship with the mixer
of drinks. Think of u man taking his busi
ness affairs, his family bis love
affoiis, to be submitted to the judgment of
a bartender, and you have in mind what
actually happens very, vu-y often. Flace a
white aproned man behind u whisky-bar, and
lie becomes, in many instance*, tbe leader in
thought and expres-ion of those who ex
change money for drinks over two feet of
wainut board tint separates thorn. And this
explains, in a met sure, the vast influence of
saloons in politics.”
A Medical Voice Against Alcohol.
Dr- A. M. ltoss, an eminent physician of
Toronto. Canada, is the author of a valuable
senes of health tract", in one of which, on
the subject of drink reform, he says:
'•Ail intoxicating «.rinks, including wine,
porter, beer, ale and cider, are poisons—
they are inimical to the human constitution,
and are produced only from the decay,
destruction and decomposition of the pro
ducts of organized matters. They deserve
execration for the miseries they have inflicted
and are still inflicting on human society. I
cannot refrain from uttering my astonish
ment that m this enlightened day there are
so nuny physicians and clergymen (who pro
fess to guide the body to health and the soul
to heaven) who not ouly indulge in intoxicat
ing drink tbenwlves, but commend tbe vile
stuff to tlieir confiding followers and patient*,
and even to nurting women.”
An Enormous Traffic.
From the sixty-first annual report of the
New ork City Mission, we learn that official
statements place the number of licensed
drinking sa oonsat H.VJ7, while it is supposed
that there are as many as including
those that are unlicensed. A ceretul esti
