The Sons of Temperance as they now
are in Georgia.
Editor Union & Recorder,
Dear Sib :—Allow me the use of
your valuable columns ro say a word
about the above institution as it ex
ists in this State. I am led to ask
this on account of a circular which 1
received a few days ago and which
is signed by three of your most prom-
nent citizens, viz: C. P. Crawford, T.
T. Windsor and VV. W. Williamson.
This circular after reviewing the late
actionoftheGrandLodkeof G -od Tem
plars at Rome, a month or so ago,
makes what I consider an unwarrant
ed and ill advised attack upon the or
der of Sons of Temperance as it now
exists, or rather it w r as intended to be
such. I shall prove before I am done
that it has no hearing upon us.
In reply to this circular I wrote the
Committee a letter which I consider
fair and concessory. To this letter I
have a reply before me from its Chair
man, Mr. C. P. Crawford. I am pur-
suaded from the tenor of both docu
ments, he is their author. In both
he goes back to old issues, old men
and old quarrels which thank God
ed and ill-advised” on the Sons of Tem
perance ! We made no attack at all.
But let others judge. Our words
were these: “The Sons of Temper
ance, though clad with memories of
unprecedented achievements in the
past, are norv burdened with the pres
tige of disaster.”
Bro. S. denies the “truth” of these
words and styles them an “attack,”
«&r. Let us examine the truth aud
then the spirit of the passage.
It has been currently reported, pub
licly by print aud word, that the Sous
of Temperance do not number now
more than one tenth of their strength,
in Georgia in 1857, Will Bro. S-
deny this ? If so let him exhibit the
statistics. Can an Order, which h s
sustained a nett loss (the gross loss is
much larger of course) a nett loss of
nine tenths of its members, in fifteen
years, he called prosperous'? Is not
its condition rightfully called one of
“disaster?” But we di 1 not even call
it so. The palpable meaning of our
words, *i as that that Order is associa
ted with failure in the popular estimate,
and therefore it is not the best basis
for the union of all the Temperance
effort of the State. Any “unbiased
mind” would have understood us, as
meaning just that and nothing more.
For the Union A. Recorder.
The Synod of Georgia.

meeting they passed the negro article
iu their constitution and by-laws. This
of course threw all the Southern Di
visions into “a ferment of discord.”
and the Grand Divisions of nine States
at once seceded. In July last their
delegates met at Chattanooga, Tenn.,
upon the invitation of the Grand Di
vision of that State. They then form
ed what is now known as the Inter.»< iion-
al Division, Sons of Temperance. They
threw up their charters from the
National Division and adopted a
new Constitution and a new ritual
which is as different from the old
“order” as they differ from the Inde
pendant Older of Good Templar-, ex
cept in the wording of the obligation.
I am willing for any fair and unbiassed
committee to review both ritual and
constitution. I feel confident they
will pronounce both superior in wisdom
and beauty. These gentlemen mistake
us for the Sons of temperance who
“fought under the banner of Over
by.” I some times think all insti
tutions of reform ought to select
young men to further their progress and
let the old men fall back into the rear
rank. Old men are too fond of “rais
ing a dust” among the ashes of past
troubles and defeats. Just so long as
perunce Oiders ii? the United States.
The spirit and aim of that address will
appear from the following extracts:
‘•We believe that the greatest ob
stacle, to a much greater success of
our common principles is the ifiulti-
plicity of agencies employed to secure
a common end, and the cousequent
division of labor and interest, produc
ing the appearance, if not the fact of
antagonism. We believe the greatest
good to the greatest number, will be
i secured, and the most rapid growth of
Temperance sentiment and habit a-
mong the people, by such concentra
tion of feeling aud effort, as can only
be attained by an actual consolidation
of all existing Temperance Orders. All
that is needed to secure the result pro
posed is for each of us to determine
that we have more love for our un
fortunate fellow men—more desire
for the present and eternal happiness
of the rising generation, than wc have
for any favorite ceremonies, forms and
names."
The Sons of Temperance of Tennes
see, a mighty and predominant Order,
in that State, were most influential in
the council, that put forth that ad
dress. And they told the truth. Con
centration is defeated only by petty
Messrs. Editors:—The Presbyte
rian Synod of Georgia, at its recent
session in Albany, took the initiative
towards the establishment of a first
class Institute at Midway—not a col
lege, but something far more needed
than a college—a school of the high
est character, something like the great
Rugby and Eton Schools of England.
I send you fo r publication the pream
ble and resolutions adopted by the
Synod on the subject. Now that Ogle
thorpe College is suspended, whilst
designing to put no obstacle in the
way of its recusitation, if any of its
friends wish to attempt it, the Synod
strongly feels that something must be
done by Presbyterians to meet the ed
ucational wants of the age. Hence
the adoption of the preamble and reso
lutions sent you to day, with only one
or two votes in the negative. You
will observe that like Mercer, and Em
ory, and the Episcopal University in
Tennessee, the new Institution is de
signed to be denominational, and to
represent a religious denomination in
the field of education as the three men
tioned Institutions do. But like them
and like the College and Academy for
merly at Midway, it will offer its ad
vantages to all, and interfere with the
creed of none of its students. As it is
designed to make the Institution an
swer a better purpose in education
than a new and well endowed college
could, the preliminary steps will be
very cautiously taken. It will not ac
tually open its halls f®r students for a
year at least, and not till even a later
period, unless in the meantime an en
dowment is actually raised and invested
largo enough to ensure, with God’s
blessing, a splendid success. Wo con
gratulate Milledgeville, Midway and
Baldwin county, upon the inauguration
of this plan. Under the smile of heaven,
a higher and wider and more useful in
fluence as a centre of education is be
fore Midway in the future than be
longed to her in the past.
I do not apologize for sending so
long a document for publication. Not
only Baldwin county and the Presby
terian denomination but the whole
country ought to have a deep interest
in this great enterprise.
C. W. L.
out the above plan will require a wise
economy of the resources of the entire
Synod of Georgia intended to promote
Academic education, the Synod whilst
bidding a God speed to all Presbyte
rian Institutions beyond its bounds, res
pectfully request its Presbyterian
churches and membership to reserve
their donatious intended to aid in build
ing up Presbyterian education, until
the merits of the plan to be proposed
by the Committee can be carefully
scrutinized.
Resolved, 6th. That Messrs. Josiah
Sibley, John Craig and James Boues of
Augusta be appointed a committee to
to receive, invest and hold any funds
that may be contributed for the estab
lishment of the Institute.
Resolved, 6th. That this action is not
to be understood as interfering with
any plans for the benefit of Oglethorpe
College.
Resolved, 7th. That this action of
Synod be published in the Southern
Presbyterian, and Christian Observer.

one believe there is just as much room
iu Georgia for the Good Templars,
the Sous of Temperance and the
Knights of Jericho as there is for the
Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Epis
copal aud other Churches. Those
who can’t take the Liie Long pledge
of the Good Templars may feel no hes
most their “favorite ceremonies, forms
and names.”
Our circular followed on the track
of this catholic address, urging a union
of effort, attacking nobody. We acted
upon the spirit of Bro. Sasnett’s
“Scripture.”
The “fair and concessory” response
. . . - , f , , " of Bro. S., was for “sixteen or twenty
itaucy in taking the pledge of the' momKopo „
Sons of Temperance or the Knights of
Jericho. The constitution and by-laws
of one may suit some better than
others, and vice versa. The Sons of
Temperance as they now exist in
Georgia, and in the other Southern
States, except Florida and South Car
olina, are on the white basis altogether.
There can be no change in the consti
tution in reference to this subject. It
is a statute as unalterable as the stat
ute of Masonry referring to the same
thing. The pledge is only binding so
long as one is a member oj the order and
the institution is now on a jinn basis with
young men at its head whose motto is
excelsior. We cordially invite all who
object to the Life Long pledge to unite
with us in this great moral reforma
tion. We make no war upon the
Good Templars, but fraternize with
them on all occasions. There can be
no other middle ground made iu this
State but that occupied by us. Now
members” of our Lodge to disintegrate
and join his Order ! Which he tells
us he believes to be “perfect!” Our
“young men” are incredulous and our
“old men” smile at the extreme juven
ility implied. For long, they have
vainly sought “perfection,” among
human contrivances ! Nor have they
found that youth alone is all-sufficient
for all the emergencies of life. We
hope our Brother’s merits will not
decline with advancing years.
We readily agree with Bro. S., that
“there is room in Georgia” for all the
Orders—room enough for a thousand
as large as his. But how does his
inference accord with his “Scripture?”
Whereas, 1st, Elementary educa
tion and education in the arts and
sciences of the youth of the church
and country, and especially of candi
dates for the ministry, ever an object
of solicitude to the Presbyterian
church, is of increasing importance
to her as the age advances in enlight
enment.
Whereas, 2nd. The existence of
old and well endowed Universities in
this country, and Europe, at which
the higher education can be obtained,
meets the necessities of the church as
to the higher education far better than
she in her poverty can meet them, by
attempting to establish a University
from her own resources.
Whereas, 3rd. A pressing want of
the church and country, is a school
something like that of Rugby or Eton
in England, a school that shall be be
tween a good neighborhood school
and a first-class College, which shall
be thorough and accurate in training,
taking its pupils as far in the classical
mathematical course as the Junior year
of the best colleges.
Whereas, 4th. The wants of the
church and of a dying world demand
the adoption of two grades of art and
science Education to precede the
Theological course of candidates for
the ministry, the one an Academic,
the other a University course.
Whereas, 5th. The Trustees of the

lience. Except iu name, we are ex new

this letter and lend their influence by
proper comments to further this good
cause. I further hope the gentlemen
who signed the document I have referred
to will look into the truth as I have
here told it, and then lend me their aid
in furthering total abstinence. 1 hope
they appreciate Scripture upon tLis

Reply.
Yes Sir ! We do “appreciate Scrip
ture” even when misquoted by a very
“young man,” with a multitude of
honorary initials, tagged to his name.
We do not “appreciate” Bro. Sasnett’s
statement that our circular “reviewed
the action of the Grand Lodge of
Good Templars at Rome.” It does
not contain the slightest allusion to that
body !
We are amazed that Bro. S., should
imagine that said circular made “au
attack, that intended to be unwarrant*
past, ponderous titles and all.
Let me add—I am a Son of Tem
perance myself—have been for four
years—have the kindest of feelings to
that Order. But I am sure the “rank
and file” would prefer a cousolidation,
on a fair and liberal basis, of ali Tem
perance effort. The officers of the
different Orders have forbidden. We
appeal to the masses and hope to
“take judgment” at Atlanta, on the
30th.
Truly,
C. P. CRAWFORD.
The Cld Love.
I met her, she was thin aud old.
She stooped aud trod with tottering feet;
Her locks were gray that once were gold,
Her voice was harsh that once was sweet ;
Her ciieeks were sunken and her eyes,
Robbed of their girlish light of joy,
Were dim ; I feit a strange surprise
That I had loved her when a boy.
But yet a something in her air
Restored me to uiy youthful prime ;
My h**art grew young aud seemed to wear
The impress of that long lost time;
1 took her wilted hand in mine,
Its touch awoke a world of joy;
1 kissed her with a reverend sigh,
For I had loved her when a boy !
TnE Efficacy of an Egg.—The
white of an egg is said to be a specific
for fish bones sticking in the throat.
It is to be swallowed raw, and will car
ry down a bone easily and certainly.
There is another fact touching eggs,
which it will be well to remember.—
When as sometimes by accident, cor
rosive sublimate is swallowed, the
white of oue or two eggs taken will
neutralize the poison, and change the
effect to that of a dose of calomel.

Replanting Diseased Teeth.—
We copy the following from the Cham
bers’ Journal: We mentioned some
mouths ago tha f a member of the
Odontological Society had succeeded
iu replanting teeth which had been ex
tracted in consequence of disease.—
To the process by which this was ac
complished he gave the name “reim
plantation.” Another member of the
same society has now Lad th^ opera
tion tried on himself and with success.
The tooth which had been for some
time painfully affected by changes of
temperature, was carefully pulled cut,
to prevent straining or tearing the
gum ; the dental canal was cleansed,
the decaying parts were scraped from,
the tooth, and stopping applied in tiro
usual way, aud then the tooth was re
placed in its socket. The operatiou
lasted about half au hour ; for three
or four hours there was a dull, aching
pain, which, however, entirely ceased
before noon of the following day
though some tenderness remained.—
This in turn disappeared ; and by the
end of a fortnight the replanted tooth
did, without difficulty, all duty which
a tooth is expected to do. From this
it will be understood that a tooth
slightly diseased at the root need not
be thrown away, and that persons who
object to an artificial tooth may with
proper care retain the teeth which na
ture gave them.
Domestic Labor.—In reply to a
Southern correspondent who desires to
get Chinese servants for house duties,
the agricultural editor of the World
declines to recommend them and sug
gests, for the more northern portions
of the Southern States, the Swedes.
He adds:
We were lately traveling in New
England and stopped at a farmer’s
house in a village. We saw co ser
vants ; there were none. Day after
day our bed was well made up aud the
meals were simply superbly cooked,
yet every evening there were in the
parlor two of the prettiest, neatest
looking girls one’s eyes ever fell on,
and also a matronly mother, who nev
er, day or evening, seemed to have any
thing to do but to knit. We know
that many a noble girl in the South has
taken the cares of the house in her
hands, even to the washing, who nev
er knew what the slightest labor was
the days agone. We look upon such in
with a reverence akin to that belong
ing to deity. They will be the health
ier and richer for it, but it requires a
nerve and moral courage few possess to
undertake such labor. Then thero
are hundreds not physically able.
Scolding.—Scolding is mostly a
habit. There is not much meauiug
in it. It is often the result of nerv
ousness, and an irritable condition of
both mind and body. A person is
tired or annoyed at some trivial cause,
and forthwith commences finding fault
with everything and everybody with
in reach. Scolding is a habit very
easily formed. It is astonishing how
one indulges in it. It is an unreason
ing and unreasonable habit. Persons
who get into the way of scolding, al
ways find something to scold about. If
there were uothingelse tiiey wouid fall
a scolding at the mere absence of
something to scold. It is an extremely
disagreeable habit. The constant rum
blings of distant thunder, catervvaul-
ings, or a hand orgau under one’s win
dow, would be less unpleasant. The
Libit is ccntageous. Once introduced
into a family, it is pretty certain in a
short time to affect all the members.
If one of them begins always finding
fault about something or nothing, the
others are very apt soon to take it up,
aud a very unnecessary bedlam is cre
ated. The peopie in the country more
readily fall into the habit of scolding
than people in the city. We sup
pose it is because they have less to oc
cupy and divert their attention. Wo
men contract the bad habit more fre
quently than men. This may be be
cause they live more in the house, in a
confined and heated atmosphere, very
trying to the nervous system and the
health in general; and it may be part
ly that their natures are more suscep
tible, and their sensitiveness more easi
ly wounded. Women are sometimes
called divine; but a scolding woman
never seems divine. But we will say
uo more on the subject, or some pret
ty creature may feel inclined to scold
us for what we say about scolding.
The newspaper is just as necessary
to fit a man for his tru j position in life
us food or raiment. Show ns a rag
ged, bare-foot boy, rather than ignor
ant one. His head will cover his foot
in after life if he is well supplied with
newspapers. Show us the child that
is eager for newspapers. He will
make the man of mark in after life if
you gratify that desire for knowledge.
Other things being equal, it is a rulo
that never fails. Give the children
, newspapers.
