Unrolling the Spool Temperance Tale of Redemption
A Cornish tale recounts John Lee growing drinking habits under peer influence until his mother and fiancée Mary urge him to pledge total abstinence. He saves by trimming all luxuries, redeems himself with a $100 savings windfall, marries Mary, and attends worship as his family reforms. The piece contrasts temperance by pledging abstinence with historical ideas of drinking as food and notes South Carolina's move toward hospitals for drunkards.
