A xewsuapeu office and a law\ ers ,"^^s^Si5*l?v:e had always thought were the last places that would attract burglars. The blowings-open of the Charlotte Observer's s-.tie, however, is a new departure in this direction. While our conk mporary was severely treated, it was published the next day. and gives us a fall account of the transaction and the destruction by fire'. It i* to be expected that new bills lockii'g '0 an amendment of th; dispensary :aw will be introduced at the approaching session of the General Assembly. This iaw and the manner of its administration has been the source of a g-eat 'teal of trouble in the State. It is doubtful wbe:her we have ever had a law ibat created more discussion, mor bitterness among our people, and that has caused the shedding of more I'ood. Everybody admits that it contains some good features, but the t-oi-.ble is that it has j beer, enforced in a way that it has be~<^me oppressive. The searching of private houses, the ransacking of a ( lady's trunk, and ihe opening of a distinguished clergyman's valise on ' tlo pub! c streets of Charleston are not , calculated to bring -the moral senti- , ment of the people to the support of ] the lav/. X;> one can object to the ] suppression of the illegal sale of liquor so long as tbe sale is prohibited ex- ' cep" in the manner as now prescribed : by law. but this can be done in a de- j cent and orderly way. We believe hat if the metropolitan colics svstem is abolished, and she constabulary, and tbc fcnforc:si3iit of the law left to the < sheriffs, magistrates and the regular i officers elected i n the enforcement of ( Oihcr laws, it will ;^e acceptable to the < people, and Ibe dispensary law will ' be c beyed.

Xowasthe new \ear has just i begun, we know of no better way to; begin it than by forming these clubs ' all over our county.

Anil Christmas Happenings Around YVui- j ling. i A happy new year's greeting to you j and staff, Mr. Editor, of the Wmnsboro ! Xews and Herald. Christmas with all its pleasures_ar.d disappointments, | its joys and sorrows, has come and gone and the infant new year has jast dawned upon us with its unknown history to be written when another new year takes its place. God grant that it may be a year of peace, prosperity and a general reconciliation of any ana everytnmg among us as muividaals or a people that tended to estrange as from each other, and may we become a more united people, and see and feel how great is our dependence one upon another. Let as all start the new year with w armer feelings for our fellowman; say a? few unkind things as possible; but try if v/e can't And an occasional kind word for the fortunate and unfortunate among us. All of these things can and would be sanctioned (if done in the proper spirit) by the Great Power that rules the destinies of unions; and none of us can doubt that if such a course is pursued the next new year would find us a happy people, feeling that the future prosperity of our Sute depends upon the unity of her people.1 \Ye are informed that most of our farmers sro supplied wish sufficient labor for the year. Moving Ins been the order of the day for the jjlast week or more. But amidst all this confusion we note that a feeling of cheerfulness pervades our community, and ou-' horny-handed sons of the soil will begni the work of the new year with a? much vigor as if their feelings had : never been'depressed by the low p: ice of cotton. Well, some of your tender- 1 foote i readers may want to know . Vintr- sRoh a thinor conld ba. We cm only say what we think brings about this happy state of affairs, and that is, 1 all of oar corn cribs are pretty well filled up with corn, uaeat in the smoke house, and more hog? to kill. . The young people had their usual ' rounds of Christmas gayety. They i began on* Christmas ni^ht: with a party at Mr. El Dyes. The --usual pastime'' , was engaged iu 'and- enjoyed by al! , present The < r.Jcr w.?s at Mr. D. C. ColVin's, who notified the 1 young swains and damsels that he was < ready to receive them and a ponnJ . exra on Tuesday of the holidays. There was no grumbling at the tax, says our fair informant, and Mr. Col* < viirs yard and hons.t was fairly he- I seiged by the rniny ho cime to pur- ( take of the fesuvai find the '-'usual i pastime." all of which was ei'joyul i only as young folks knnv l:'?w to et> joy a good thing. The neirt day \ (Wednesday) a similar i\caption was given at the hospitable home of that ; most genial of host, the warm-hearted ( John A. F. Coleman. Another dir.- ] ner and the "usual pastime" was the J ~ ~ , rim ?u ~ * 1 . yruei" ui m? u^y. UUSMO run, wnu i tended these parties, says they were c complete successes in every seme of < the word, and that at Mr. Coleman's t a chair was furnished extra with the 1 iinner, and that hereafter he will ig- 1 nore all parties that doesn't eotnc oil" ' in day time with a dinner and a cviir < at the table. { On Thursday morning Mr. and Mrs. 1 W.

I fhey had hoped the young people ? tvere tired out, but no such \hing. ? rhen they bowed their heads forward, c Evhich was taken as consent, am! as s hort as the time was by easlv night t ill their spacious rooms were filled to [ c )verfljwing with the beauty aiid j chivalry of the community and a con- i ( .ingest from Xewberry.

We arc beginning to rorgct the tss'e of tho riirisimas turkey and to settle down to ewvyday The day was observed very quietly heie. The colored brother was generally pretty well fi'leu with "pe:sonai use," out behave:] hirn-e'f very well under the circumstances. The marrying lever seems to have broken loose in our community.

If 1 he thing is not hal.ed pretty soon, I j relieve Ben for self-preservation will ;irasclf refuse to vote the ticket. Taxes seem to be as high as in the ^ood o:d da,oor stealing-, and the dis jensary paying in so much money too 1 [ suppose many a icllow will think hat one thing the gold standard has aiaed in price i3 taxes. The piesent schedule on tli3 Southern ' laiiroad doesn't suit us very well. A j fteat deal of complaint is heard, but I fuess that is about all we can do.
