TEE NEW YEAR,

Another year has drawn to close.
The record is completed and the scroll
is rolled up. Its hopes, its aspirations,
its thoughts and its deeds are now
numbered among the things that
were.
In many respects it has been MEM
orable year. In some respects it was a
hard year financially. Money was
scarce, crops had been short and prices
low and the most rigid economy had
to be practiced in order to make both
ends meet.
In this section, however, during the
past year, the bread crop was good, [
and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. farmers
! mad planted abundantly, and, as re.
suit, now have full granaries. The cot
ton crop was fair but at the opening Of
the season the price was very low.
But our information is that the farm.
ers have been able to pay, and have paid
up, their Indebtedness better than they
have been able to do in several years.
AS result,with full granaries and
bank notes and liens paid, the outlook
for the future is Frightening. If cred.
itors do not push to the wall those
! who have not been able to fully pay
out, all will be well ard happy.
We now enter upon the duties and
responsibilities of the new year. If our
farmers will continue the plan of rails
/ ing their own hog and hominy, with
the blessings of Providence, there will
be plenty and happiness in the land
again:
The Herald and News has had hard
struggle, but with the kind words Of
encouragement and cheer that come to
US from our subscribers, accompanied
by the "wherewithal," we take new
courage and look hopefully to the fu-
ture. Our constant aim and effort
shall be to furnish them newspaper
| worthy of their patronage and COM
mendation.
Let every man do his duty faithfully
and conscientiously, in whatever sta"
ton he may be placed, to himself, his
country and his God, and all will be
| well, but let US all remember that, -
"For king, for peasant, valiant knight
| or knave,
| For all, here stands the cradle-there
the grave"
To realize the ideal Of human exist
ence. our hopes and aspirations must
be fixed and centered entirely upon
human affairs and material things, but
they must stretch out and beyond the
grave to world that is better and fair
er than this, otherwise human life is a
failure-a dead failure.
The Herald and News wishes all its
readers a Happy and Prosperous
New Year, aud realization of that
hope, which is planted upon those
things which are lasting and eternal
that hope which is planted upon the
Rock of Ages itself.

THE CLUES MUST PAY Up.
They Cannot Dispense Liquor Withoutea
Liceuse-The New Law.
THE Register, ist.

EThe Register, lst.
The Columbia Club will have to quit:
dispensing liquor or take out license;
this is rendered necessary by the ac-
ton Of the Legislature at its recent
session.
Immediately upon the decision of
the Supreme Court that license could
not be imposed upon club chartered
for literary and social purposes that
dispensed liquors, there were number
Of applications for such charters, and
in short order there were number Of
literary clubs in operation in the
State, whose sole purpose was dispens-
ing of liquors without license or dis
pensing it outside OF incorporated
towns and cities.
This was manifesuy wrong, yet
there was no way of remedying mat
tiers under the existing laws, and so
the Legislature made law to fit the
case.
The provisions ofthis new law are as
follows: -
That from and after the passage Of
this Act it shall be unlaWiul for any
clnh-caps7 aps7.dn Ppany, assoe..;on or corpora
7 ton, and for any charte1s company
now in existence or hereaftef<b be in.
corporated for social, literary oTNessz .
purposes to buy, sell, keep for sale, ex
change, barter or dispense without {
license any liquor, wine, beer, bitter
or other Intoxicating spirits for any
purposes whatever, either to member!
or to other persons.
Section 2. That any member or mem
bers knowingly belonging to any club
company, association or corporation
which recssves and dispenses intox
icating spirits contrary to the provi
sions of the foregoing section, shall be
deemed guilty of misdemeanor anc
on conviction thereof before a Tria
Justice shall be fined in sum not less
I than $50 nor more than $50 or i'm
prisopmenti in the county Jail for tern
not to exceed thirty days for each anc
every ofense.
Section 5. That all Acts and parts O.
Acts inconsistent with this Act be, anC
are hereby, repealed.
This Act is to go into effect immedi
ately upon its passage. 1t was ratified
on the 29d inst, and was approved or
the following day, so that if any club
in the State has not taken out 6
I license its members are amendable tc
the punishments provided by the
Act.
There is one peculiar point about
the law that may cause considerable
trouble, and tkat is that it is so worded
that, though it was aimed at the clubs
of the State which dispensed liquor, il
is equally applicable to any church
which has fermented wine for the
communion table. Such is the opinion
of several who have carefully read its
provisions. Of course it is not proba.
BILE that churches will be compelled to
take out licenses, yet, under this law,
tits possible to compel them to do so.

it was revenue.

alarmed at a prospect of a break in

all very good and The Herald and

There is little doubt that there is
great need of reforming the reformers.
The Greenville News gives little IL
Iustration in the following bit OF re-
freshing "reminiscences:
Three years ago under the ''extrava-
CANT, corrupt and i,nbecile rule Of the
old ring of oppressors" the phosphate
royalty was paying s225,coo a year into
the State treasury, there were about 200
students in the South Carolina college
and the State tax levy was, we believe,
five mills on an assessment of $50, ,G00,-
600, with SIS, 900 a year being spent for
finishing the State house.
To-day the phosphate royalty has
dwindied to S125,000, the South Caro-
lima college has IS students and the
tax levy is 81 mills on an assessment Of
SiSs, ,000, ,0e0. Of this $4,000 goes to
clemson college which the present
ttbusinesslike and progressive" Andrew
Jackson administration was to build
without cost to the tax payers.
The Newberry herald and news. (Newberry, S.C.) 1884-1903, 1893-01-04

The Register, which paper was the
advocate and champion of the Dispen-
sary bill and, we believe, went so far
as TO guarantee that it was just what
the people wanted, cow says there sis
no doubt about there being some dis
satisfaction among our Reformers over
the passage Of the Dispensary bill. y
And it sdds that the liquor men are
responsible for this legislation. And
then in the same paragraph this great
advocate OF rsfolm and the Reformers,
adds that ssthe representatives felt in
honor bound to carry out the wishes
Of their constituents, y and, therefore,
passed the Dispensary bill. Ii the
wishes of the constituents are to be
judged by the vote on the prohibition
question we do not see how this law
can be considered as carrying out their
wishes, for it sin no sense a prohibition
measure. It only puts the sale Of
Bhiskey in the hands, of the State.
But in the same article the Register
goes on to say that when it is seen
what 8 handsome revenue this law
viii bring into the State 'you are
going to see it grow in popularity"
The eonscienees of the prohitionists
are to be appeased by the revenue for
the State from the sale of the very
stuff they have been waging war
against and denouncing. Truly, great
is reform.
