It is the oldest prohibition newspaper in the State, and, we believe, also in the South It began its fight for the protection of r the home and the destruction of the saloon.' the greatest enemy of the home,ti7c years ago. As a means to the end at which it aims, it has labor ed for and seen the organization o. the .Prohibition party in North Carolina. It is now eighteen months since it passed into the hands of Its present editor and proprietor. With in this period it has surmounted many and and great obstacles and ac complished a work of which it is justly proud. It has seen the Pro hibition party vote in the Srate inount fronv454 for St. John in 1884 to more than 4,000ial888,a result for which it claims the lion s share eredit, and this claim we beleiye will be cheerfully accorded by every in tuirgenf Prohibitionist in the State. In the prosecution of its work, it ka? carefully avoided all unkind person - . alities and bitter recriminations, re garding everything of the kind as both contemptable and disgusting the pecnliar weapons of the silly (not to say vicious) and cowardly defend ers if the name oe not a misnomtr -of a bad cause. Imbued with the true spirit of enlightened journalism, instead of pandering to the appetites, passions, prejudices and selfishness of the ignorant and vicious, it has striven with all the energy and abili ty it could command to cultivate sentiments of patriotism,pnilanthropy and morality, trusting to the good sense of the people for support. It has not been disappointed. Its sup port has come from the better class es. On its subscription list are the , 1 names of quite a number of the lend log citizens of. the State. Its future prospects are bright and brightening,andits future course will be m keeping with the last eighteen months of its past history, r Realiz lag the greatness and importance of the work in which it is engaged, and - conscious of; the approbation of Heaven, it will continue the fight regardless of all the petty flings, lit- Thursday evening Dec. the 22nd, 1887, an , unusually .large audience greeted Rev. . Sam W. Small in Benbow Hall, this city. " The speaker was introduced by Rev. J. Li Michaux, editor of the Daily Workman, in his usual style. t Mr. Small bean by relating thV story of the stranger who bought and liberated the birds He then raid : ' I was once a captive. I have been liberated. I had a noble mother and a pric cely. father, I wandered from the .path an which they strove to direct my j fo-tsteps. I became a slave to .the appetite for strong drink. I sometimes had warnings. I saw strong men fall.'- God gave me a noble wife, who strove to stay my downward course. She remonstrated with -me ; but I told lier that she did not understand the situation she was ignorant, of the necessity of tie mean insinua ions and false chargei that can be hurled at it by a selfish black-mailinsr, boodle loving, office seeking partizan press. The Pro hibition party is here to stay unti this great question shall be settled and so is the Phohibitionist. ' V appeal to all who desire a genuin reform in politics, and the sup pression of the liquor traffic to aid us in extending our circulation Now is the time to press the work As the Ropublican patty owed its first national - succo33 to the help of Democrats who had tired of the tyranny - . of the slave power, so there .are scores of . thousands of Democrats who have tired 7of the open ownershij of their -party by the fum power, which is an infiinitely meaner master than the old slave, power ever was.

I continued the downward course. My father and mother died. My wife continued her strivings. I told her I had strength of will to resiot the appetite, when such resistance should become necessary.! I do not now oeleivQ that there is in all the world a man so strong as to be able to break the power of appetite and passion. At length I saw in tho dejected counte nance and altered mien of my wih that she had returned from the gravt n which she had buried all hope oi my recovery. My children, who had by this time arrived at that stage oi of mental development which enabled them to realize the situation, ceased to run to meet me a stagger ing drunken, debauched father. I took medicine, but to no avail. My friends suggested that a trip abroad, with the change of scenes and associa tions, might be helpful. I received from the government an appointment to a foreign mission. I broke dowi in London and, again, in Pans, After an earnest effort on his part my physician gave np the case. He said there was no medicine known to science that could reach my case He predicted that I would eventually become a laving m niac or lay violent hands on my own life. I retnrned to Atlanta, and entered again upon my profession, but continued m disipatioa. My wife applied to the Judge who presided over the court of which I was an officer for help. He wrote oxt a legal instrument for bidding anyone in Atlanta to sell me liquor under any c rcumstances This she served on every liqn or seller in the city. The bar keepers posted these in the most conspicuous places in their bar-rooms, and made then the - subject of ' jest and ridicule They hooted v at the idea . of Mrs; Smali's prosecuting them in the courts. ; one was too cultivated ana refined to go into the courts. They were right. She then employed a private detective, who succeeded in preventing tnem irom selling me liquor over the counter, but" they smuggled it to me in my office. One Sunday morning after a week of de bauch, I awoke and saw in the coun eenances 01 my cnnaren wno came forward to; give me the morning kiss, an expression of fear and sadnest. asked myself what 1 could do to make them happy.1 remembered. bat Sam Jones: was to preach that day at a place forty miles from Atlanta. took no stock in Sam. You see, aid not use oam s ' styie. lie was too coarse. ! The bigger sinner a fel- ow is, the more orthodox , he is .. 1 lave seen some wno oeiong to the church who did not know what kind of preaching was best ; but I have never sSen one of these . red nosed, blur-eyed fellows who did not know all about it. However, I decided to take my children to hear Sam. The country atmosphere and scenery would do them good. There was an immense crowd present. I took my children up near the stand, that they might be comfortably seated.I saw are hunted up some of mv dissolute com panions and with . drink and cards sought to quiet the emotions awaken ed by the sermon. The next morn ing I went to my; office. Presently a friend came up to the office and said, am,. your wife is at the door m a carriage.- For God's sake go down and go home with her. - She has been ! hunting; you all over the city." I'went. Wh n I got home I went up stairs and locked myself in my room. Here I reviewed my past life. T he memory of my mother came back to me; and the voice and words of Sam Jones leaped the two days of time and forty mi es of space And mingled with the plcading,of my mother, i I resolved to go to Christ, for I would rathei die it the foot of the Cross than to 1 d e drunken and debauched. I plead on and On, hour after hour, unconscious of all about me ,until I was exhausted. About 4 o'clock I was converted, I jumped to my feet and : exclaimed, ' I am saved man.' Attliat moment mv way opened before me in great clear ness. The current of my life was entirely changed. ) I went down iu search of my wife. I found her seated in her room with her face buried m her hands weeping. I lift ed her head from her hands, brushed away her tears, kissed her, told her 3 "til I T- wnat naa Happened anu tnat 1 was going to make her one of the best and Kindest nusoanus a woman ever had. I asked her why she was cry Ling, tone said sue had been up to my room several times,, knocked for admittance, but received no response She could hear me groaning, and ex pected to nnd me dead oy luy own hands. Her look even then indicated that her worst fears had.in her mind been realized. She evidently thought me crazy. I took my children, got into ; cariiage, went down town to a print er and asked him to print me 1000 dodgers. I handed him the copy "Sam Small will paeach at Marietta church, Peach Tree St to-night at o clock. He ridiculed the idea. were most of the Prohibition lead ens. The satisfaction' they seem to find in hurting the Republican-party and playing into the hands of an organi zation traditionally opposed to tern , perance, is one -of the mysteries of human-nature very difficult to ex plain.

Ave hope the Patriot will keep this n his vest-pocket and read it when ever he feels like hurling his hot shot at Prohibitionists. If the above is true, we're his best friends.: to thought me crazy and positively de clined the job. I went to another office, got 'my circulars, had them distributed and returned home to supper. My wife called my little boy out into the porch .wd asked him where we had been. He told her and then running his hand into hi pocket drew out one of the dodgers which he had been distributing, an 1 i i 11 nanued it to 111s mother, bhe read it, but it was evident she did not take mmh stock in It. When I got the church I found that quite crowd had assembled. The liquoi men, supsing that I was going get off a burlesque on Sam Jones had so arranged some whiskey bar rells &c, as to make a temporary platform. Mounted on this, I gav 1 - 1 some account 01 my past experience and then went on to make my proc lamation. I told them that I had severed every tie that bound me to the world and henceforth I would be true to Christ and Hi3 cause. I too my children and went home, leaving the audience quite bewildered. My old associates went to the saloons and pool-rooms to discuss the matter and to lay wagers as to .the length o time I would hold out. At the ex piration of a year Epent in evangel is ic work j in other sections of the countrv.il returned to Atlan ta. At the close of my fiist service after my return, quite a number of my friends came forward to J shake my hand. Among these was a brilliant young man, who but for liquor might have occupied and filled with credit any position to which he could have as pired. With tears in his eyes he ex pressed his pleasure "at my success in my neur field, audi the interest with which he had read the newspaper ac counts of my work. Finally, looking 1 n . 1 - 1 up into my iace wun a misenerrous twinkle in his eyes, he said, "Sam. if I had only known that you' would hold out as you have done- if I bad only had a pointer I could have bankrupted the town."

Once More in the South The Campaign of 1888 Opened "in Alabama Convention Held and Delegates Chosen to the Na tional Southern Calls for Help Or ganization Possible and Imperative- Montgomery, Ala., Dec. 17, '87. It has been my hope and expecta tion to spend this winter entirely at at home, or inside the limits of our own State. These months past I have been counting on much of comfort and satisfaction in such a disposition of the time ; and when our National Executive laid its com mands upon me, and said "go South." I was nigh to rebellion. Not that 1 felt any decrease of interest in the cause at large, or in the special pro motion qf it in a region I have studied so carefully. This portion o our National field was never n.ore in viting to me than now. I never more keenly felt its need, and our party's great opportunity. The work which it is possible for us here to do, toward -a more complete ational unity, never seemed so imperative to me as now. But three" years' nearly constant sacrifice of home life, and the long putting aside of alluring literary tasks, test endurance and loyalty to the furtherest verge, and give one conscience-leave to claim a furlough. Besides, is not New York to be the fina' battle-ground of next year's conflict, and could not a loyal veteran serve as weLl within her bor ders as anywhere without ? So I be leive, and there I hope in part to ser e. Yet now I fiud myself once more on Southern soil, if only for a very brief campaign. I came to v attend th e Al abama State Convention, called in this city for the 15th inst., and missed it utter ly. That was a bad beginning, to be sure. An executive uommittee meeting in Chicago, and two junior tun ate rat1 road breaks, must be held responsible. But for the iormer I should have started one; more day 01 railway connection JNortu-'ot t:is city from which quarter about all would come kept many Prohibi tionists anay. Primarily it "was a meeting , of the State Committee and practically it seems to have been that to the end Col. John T. Tanner was again made Chairman, and Eev. Ev A. Stone was' chosen Secretary. Col. Tanner has been a Democrat all his.life, nearly, though he voted for Sf John in 1884." He is heart and soul a Prohibitionist now. Mr. Stone was an Ohio Republican, of in dependent tendencies, who in Ala bama could not be less than a Pro hibitionist ever, and in Ohio could never again profess Republican faith Ringing speeches were made.' Col Tanner, Rev. Z. A. Farker, Rev. Mr. Stone, and Rev. L. p. . Whitten. A declaration of principles was adopted, in which the repeal of our Internal Revenue laws was. argued, also of all' existing l;cense laws. Twenty delegates were elected tot represent Alabama in the Contention at jnuianapoiis. itesointions were adopted favoriug Gen. Fisk for Pres dent, and oi. Tanner for Vice President. No sreps were taken to ward organizing the State; but I hope to see something done in that direc tion before I leave. It may be men tioned &s noteworthy that the Demo 1 i. cf 3 o 'continued !rauu uoeiuor onerea iree use 01 the Senate Chamber, and a Demo Ave agree, icratic council were equally liberal tendering the City ILpII. Rej)nbli cans North are not so generous. rrom many fcontnern btates l am earnestly invited to conference and organizing effort. Five of thesej States are wholly wituout party or ganization Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Geoagi a and Son tn Caro lina. Tennessee has nothing but a commute. In six common-wealths, therefore, our party ne ;ds building from the foundation up ; and in every one of them the builo'ers cannot find local support There is no lack of good material to build with, but Even West Virginia, havin? beo-un to organize three Tears ago cannot ye'l sustain a master-workman, and implores our-National Committe to supply one thousand dollars for maintaining a State organizer one year. Here comes in the rich use fulness of that fund bich began at Chicago for National service, and should swell to $50,000 before our great Convention assembles in June. The South can be organized, within six months, if means are furnished. It cannot be foraged upon for the en tire campaign. It must ka-e help. Good men are at command South- erners wno Know tne liem ana caii achieve the task. bite : nd blajk are needed. Shall thev be set at Vork ? It is a crucial time. Not to meet the emergency presented will be to postj one National prohibition longer than is needed. ' It may bo assumed that the late campaign (Republican) talk about the South, in Northern States, has not opened any new doors for u in this section. Whether any, pre . ious ly open, have ber n closed against us, I can not judge till longer here. The letters thus far received are en couraging, and show much local de termination to pnsh forward. -Mississippi, Alabama, Gf-orgia and South Crrolina will prove the hardest fields; though some things may occur to give us an unexpected leverage in Mississippi. Matters there, as I see them at this distance, are in a fetate of suspended animation, and what may follow within the" next six months nobody can tell In, Arkan sr.3, as our correspondent there tells me, ''Prohibition party sentiment is growing rapidly." The Prohibition Alliance of that State is to meet Jan uary 10, and the question of party action may then come up. I have no doubt it will, and that Arkansas will begin party organization at or nothing was implied against the less er-known man, oi whom meie ,ac mauy in the South who we all can trusL I may .as well frankly say that my friend, whose words I used, was but replying to unwise Noathern suggestions whicn had been made about Senators Colquitt and Reagan. My friend saw, as I have seen all the time, that tal k " of Colquitt as ,our nominee for Vice President is quite idle. An eminently worthy South erner, who : has national repu tation and who is with us in lull consecra- tion has been much mentioned, of j late, and one paper now kees his name at the mast head - with. Gen. Fisk's George W. Bain.. But ; Col. Bain beleives, a& did John B. Fiuch, that his place is on the plat orm, and that he can serve our cause far better while not a candidate. : He will not, therefore; permit the use of his name, when any occasion permits him the chance to refuse it It may as well be known that he is one of. the few who entered bonds of faith with Mr Finch not to accept nomination for office, and to guard each other against all possibilities thereof. They will be faithful tn their pledges who yet live. Fisk. and Bain would make a magnetic and wiusom-r ticket, but it is impossible. ' And' even while I state the fact, I regret it . , A. "A.
