Hard Times.

There is n longer any doubt but
what she winter just before us is 10
be al exceedingly hard one for al
classes of oommon lab0rers TO ge
through. The times have already
began to pinch hard in New York /;
thousands Of foreigo lab rers are
now returning t Europe, or getting
ready to leave New York. within the
next two months, aud the great COM
mercial metropolis is fuli of beggars.
and it is gwen out that there are
tens OF thousands of Industrious peo-
pie ia aud around the city that a e
unabls to get work of any kind. THIS
Is certainly not :. pleasant picture
but it is one that will represent in
some of its worst features a good
many cities beside New York. There
can be no doubt but what we are
now passing through a chronic turn
of great depression in the general
business affairs of the country. which
has been brought about by our llnU
course OF overtrading, wild specula-
tion and extravaganza under the eff.
feet our of greenback era, and it now
behooves all men and women of the
nation to sdopt q new line of policy
founded upon the strictest principles
of sound economy aud moderation in
all kinds of living expenses. Incur
no indebtedness of any kind where il
can be avoided, for most assuredlg
the end is not yet.

A New LIQUOR Law.
Yours ever and anon,

A bill is before the legislature which
has very stringent provisions. In many
respects it is like the Ohio law.
In cities and towns for spirituous
liquors, the license shall not be less than
500, and for fermented liquors not be
less than S25. In the former case the
bond is $1,000, and in the latter 500,
and in both cases the party must be
recommended by six respectable taxray-
ers. Outside of Incorporated towns the
persons desiring license. files petition
with the Clerk of the Court, fifteen days
before Court, stating place, &C., where
he desires to retail liquor, with a recon-.
mendation Of six taxpayers of his neigh
borhood, whercupon the Clerk posts II
notice of I'll the facts on the Court House
door. This petition and certificate is
placed before the Grand Jury at the next
term of Court, who will in their present
ment recommend or refuse the license,
and fix the price, which shall be uniform
for all applicants. If the Grand Jury
recommend the license, then the Clerk
cerliEes the fact to the County Commis-
81 'ners who will issue license, the price
of which, in case of spirituous and malt
liquors shall not be less than for similar
licenses in cities and towns, the party IN
such cases, giving similar bonds. The
license shall be exposed to public view
in the pace Of sale. Furnishing liquor
to drunk person, a minor or insane
person is made a misdemeanor, and
punished by fine or Imprisonment. Upon
notice to the seller, wife or relative may
also recover pay for property destroyed
by drunken husband, and also for sup
port of his family while he is unable to
provide for them by reason Of his being
drunk. A retailer is prima facie held
to be an alder and abctter Of any riot
which occurs in or near his place of bus
'iness, and may be prosecuted as such,
until he can show that such persons crea-
ting the riot did not beco nc intoxicated
in his house.
The price of a quart license is fixed at
fifty dollars, and the bill prohibits drug
gist or any other to sell bitters, except
upon the prescription Of a physician, uh-
less he first obtains license, the price f
which is fifty dollars. One. third of all
fines under the act goes to the inf,rmer.
and the remainder to the County school
fund. We cannot speak for the fate of
the bill, but if ii passes, and is enforced
there will be less drinking, fighting and
rowing in most places, and the county
taxes of the people will be greatly re-
duced. The bill has been made the
special order for Monday next.
Port Royal commercial and Beaufort County Republican. [volume] (Port Royal, S.C.) 1873-1874, 1874-02-12

from other public funds, and shall be
applied to the purposes for which they
are respectively levied and none other.'
Section lOwinds up with this clause:
"sAny state or county officer who shall
offend against the provisions of this act,
shall be deemed guilty of a felony, and
upon conviction. thereof, shall be pun
ished by fine Of not less than 81 900 or
more than 5000 and by Imprisonment
in the state penitentiary for period OF
not less than one year, or more than five
years"
As the general appropriation bill has
not been passed the only funds which
Mr.. Cardozo can pay out legallyare those
for which appropriations have been made
and for deficiencies. 1t is said that he has
already disobeyed section l0quoted above.
About four hundred thousand dollar:
have been received at the state treasury,
and it has evidently been paid out with
out taking the trouble to apportion it.

" Time TO UnlOad.O

A Washington dispatch to the New
York Herald says:
"Perhaps the most significant speech
the President has ever made, of a politi-
cal nature, was addressed ast evening to
some prominent Republicans who called
upon him at the White House. The
President said L begin ito think that
it is time for the republican party to un.
load. There has been too much dead
weight carried by it. The success of our
arms during the rebellion, and the conf
dence that the Republican party was
strong enough 'to hold up any burden,
have imposed all the disaffection in the
Gulf States on the administration. l am
tired ofthiS nonsense. Let Louisiana take
care of herself, as Texas will have to do.
| don't want any quarrel about MississiT-
pi State matters to be referred to me.
This nursing Of monstrosities has neary
exhausted the life Of the party lam done
with them, and they will have to take care
of themselves" >"

Letter From BrunsOn.

EDITOR PORT ROYAL COMMERCIALS
Mr.. EDITOR:
In our growing little town of Brunson, on the Z.
r. R. R. the citizens appear to be not only deter
mined 10 build up the town and make II 'Piaee
but are manifestly disposed todo all In their power
for the protection Of the lives and property OF It's CIT
izens. For this purpose most Of the prominent gen
tlemen Of the town. at regularly organized meeting
held at the male academy, not long since, formed
themselves into Hook and Ladder Company, now
known rs the yidette Hook and Ladder Company
No. 1, Of Brunson, s. c.
The Company consists at present OF tUenty-eight
members, the officers are as follows
Mr. George B. Mack, President; Mr.. W. A. Searcey
lst. Foreman; Mr.. Y. b. Farmer, End. Foreman; Mr.
A. d. Williams, Secretary; Jefferson Warren, Esq.
Treasurer We consider this company quito an ac-
QUESTION 10 our town.
When we look back and think how strangely ali
this would have seemed only very few years ago In
this identical locality, we can but wonder at the
changes that are brought about by these mighty
change-workers" Tine and Raiirodds-not that this
was remote place or one OF the "dark corners' be-
fore the passage Of the railroad through here for we
claim that this section Of country then, as now, In
point ofintellgence beauty and pleasantness, COM
pared with any locality In the State.
But things were so different no screaming engine
awoke the sumbering echoes Of these old hills and
forests bringing transportation TO our very doors
No saw mills converting these very forests into
marketable lumber; where we had quiet and even
solitude then, we now have life activity and busi'
hess We have all these in Brunson; we have busi-

They are all brave fellows new. The

dead, and any body can kick it. The

The Daily Union.

This paper is great acquisition to our
sanctum. Its reports of legislative pro-
ceedings are fuller than ever given be-
fore, and it has lately seized upon the
main topic or speech for verbatim re-
ports, which are very interesting. We
may not see any profit in publishing two
daily republican papers in Columbia, but
it is good for the public. The Union is
decidedly ahead, so far, as newspaper.
