TBMPEISAr^ Should It Be Made a Na tional Question'/ Efforts are being made, most es pecially in the North, to agitate the a bove question, and make it an issue m National politics. A? yet no move has been made questioning.such a step as being legitimate and light. It ap pears that our people have fallen into a lethargy, and take no notice of the infringement upon the rights of States or the people in that capacity. The Press is perfectly silent. The proceedings and addresses de livered before the Prohibition Conven tion at Pittsburg, Pa., the 23d inst. certainly throws new light on the sub ject, and facts before the world that were never heaid of before—that spir ituous liquors were the first cause of slavery’s being introduced into this country, that slavery was a cmre to our nation while it existed, hut now we are blessed by its being abolished, that the spirit of Christianity abolish ed it, and now the same move must be to prohibit the liquor traffic. The very tone of its proceedings ami acts of its members indicate that it must be abolished, irespective of means —Another fact is that the same par ties (what arc not dead)and influences meat work agitating the question in that direction, that were at the helm and engineered the slavery question and party —have no respoct for others rights so that they execute the purpo ses of their own hearts, and will dare to do it under til'd sanctity of religion and demands of Christianity. These arc facts and do not exist in the imagination. And the question of Prohibition is not the only one of iuterest, the importance of which we will not attempt to limit, hut a very vital part is to see it condnctcd upon principles strictly constitutional and within the spirit of our government. National prohibition is not consistent with Democracy. We do not care to ►have Northern pretensions —religious fanatics auu the ultra-abolitionist cle ment, that ought to have been hung with Guiteau, and woman suffragists to trouble themselves any more about our own interest (of the Smith in gen oval.) It appears to us that when the people of Georgia and other Southern States get ready to prohibit the traffic in spirituous liquors or anything elso, it coufd and ought to be done without any of their assistance.

DIViN LOV: t N.» % i A- I i.E CUnEOFA!.’ O' T TRIALS AND TRO UL L :d. Bible Questions. Editor Times:—— "When musing sorrow weeps the ps?t Or mournsplio present pain, 'Tie sweet to think of ponco at last, And feel that doath ig gain.” 1 have often thought what beautiful lines these were, and doubly so w hen under the heavy hand oi afflicton. When suffering and sorrow make us feel weak and insignificant as the crawling worm of the dust, and tire sleepless hours of night find us gazing into the far off regions of the stars tryiug to pierce the blight beyond, how fleeting, how trifling seem tho things ot this world! In such an hour how little we care for the scoffs and scorns of our enemies, or the praise of friends. The soul is filled with that other higher life that drives away ev ery particle of doubt wo may have of the life and immortality brought to light in tho “gospel.” Although the mistakes of my life have becu many, and the sins of my life have been more I often find the deep feelings of giati tude welling up from the bottom of my heart to the Almighty for his infiui'.e knowledge, and I find ray heart ex claiming: “I thank Thee Oh! Lord that thou knowest all things. There is nothing hi l from Thee. My ene mies maj' misjudge me, my friends may not understand me, hut Thou Oh! Lord knowest me altogether.” What a consoling thought. I did not think when I began, of saying so much about myselt—and now this thought arises—what arc your thoughts and feelings to a single reader of the Times. Oh! egotism, thou bane of the human race! Well, I would not write at all hut to tell Aunt Pollicl cannot answer her Bible questions, and to ask he'r please mam write again and answer them for us (as it seems no one else is going to) and there are several of its who are anxions to know. Yes, I forgot, 1 wanted to thank you for that political letter you wrote. You have the un bounded gratitude of many that I could mention. The Bible questions I was going to ask were for information,. la’’?eading we sometimes come across tho word Ante-Adamite. Now I want to know if thero is sufficient evidence in the Bible for the belief that there was a race of pooplo living before Adam? Next, in Rev. 2: 0-0 we have this— But this thou hast, that thou Latest tho deeds of Nicolaitans which I also hate.’* They are spoken of in another place, and seem to he a sect of people, and as they arc so ahoinin hie, I would very muefihike to know what was their ff.itli and practice. Mrs. T of Cloverdale, why do yon not send some of your contribu tions to our Dado paper? Some of us would read them with much interest. Now I guess some of the learned ones who will not are saying, she would love tone thou edit literary. I have no such hope or ambition hut (this much in a whispcr)f if I could handle u pen like Aunt l’ollig, I think I would let those kitchen trials go, and would not like to handle the dish-rag much. Hoping that all will contribute their little mite towards making their home paper a succoss, I will close. A. J. T. Editor Times; —A report has iieen circulated in this county that the deed made by my father to the Rising Fawn Ivon Company to certain lands, ar.d the light of way for a railroad through certain other lands has been destroyed and also the record of the same. lam informed and believe that the original deed is in possession of the obi Rising Fawn Iron Company, and any mlio wish to examine the records will find said deed rcorded in the Clerks office of the Superior Court, ot said county tin deed book G, pages 225 .and 220 I The deed was mad on eho 19th day of Decenibei 1872 and recorded the same day.

Forrolt Times:—As site i in lies stopped toe lYotn woilt this oioming, | will peri you A few lines from this vi cinity. We lwul a nice rain last night, and is still mining slowly this morning, and prospect lor He continuing through tlie day. Wo were needing rain to some exlcnt. The present one coming just in time makes the prospects for corn very liattering. We had a little wind Sunday evening, and has blown over out coru some, hut we think noth ing serious. We notice that yon have no school yet at Trenton. Oitr school ia progres sing finely, and wo are almost tempted to suggest that you move Trenton to this placo. Trenton and Its vicinity has a larger population than ours, but our people I believe are bettor disposed towards sending their children to school, and more interested about their education from the number attending our school compared with the general success of yours. We are well pleas ed with our teacher. Prof. Miller is a live energetic man, and his scholars, with few if an exceptions, like him cx ceptionably well. We bad a splendid little communi cation from this place in your paper last week; but still there was something that did not sti ike us very favorable. Yes we are glad the subject is dropped for 1 know it is not pleasant for the editor to publish anything that would have the least tendency throw any le flection upon a citizen or person in this County. We wonder how those little disturbances impress foreigners or those who live out of the County It ought to be enough to make any o! us blush to know that we are not as much in harmony with each other as we ought to be. We need not always take exception to every thing that goes in a direction that we think wrong; most especially be very careful when w'c become censorious. Excuse us “Bill” but we think you was too gen eral ia your expression of “saints”. Is it right to apply the torn! that be longs to the people of God in the way you did—to apply the term to those who yon say, or intimate are not true to their profession. We think it near to taking the nnmo of God in vain Then, “Bill” you gave us some infor mation of a fact of which we weie not aware, that whiskey or something in toxicating was kept on ibc ground the day of our pic-nic. Of corn sc you did not say what kind ol ‘•drinks” but in the general way you used it the public accepts it as the kind above referred to. As to any other wrong, that lies with in the province of every individual to say to what extent, if any he has sin. ned, God will judge His people, and bewaro that you do not transcend your “prerogatives”. Write again “Bill” we beliovo you are one of the school hoys, or liave'bcen, and wo hope your good teacher will impress you, that there are certain things or subjects that should not be made an object of wit. Wc will let tho curtains fall here and if anything happens again which is liable to cieate a discoid in our com munity, let every one try and keep the public frota knowing it. With best wishes for the continued success of our paper, and wo now on - teitaiu no doubts of it. we will close. Seßa; I! JB.
