o Ad 4 rlr THE NEW YEAli. -I * H jHrirlrlri-lrl-IflrlrH-I-lr.rH-i-iclrvrfrlriTlT'.d For the greater part of Christen ilom a year of agony ends. The second new year's day dawus since th< curse fell on Europe seventeei months ago and it brings no glean of hope to the stricken peoples Their young men die by comparie: as They have been oMng and the wo men aand children weep. Tin wretched nations struggle on spendthrift of their blood and sub stance, and for the years that shal relentlessly come they make th< burden harder to bear for the mil lions whose life in peace has beet travail. To us here in this blesjet ?ountry, sorrow and pity for \ w rlt staggering under mmeasuriblc woi should bo the hrsl thought The old year to the people of tin United States was fruitful and good The crops were bountiful, there wa employment for labor, there wa wonderful recovery every where, in eluding our State from the paralysi of confidence and endeavor that fol lowed the outbreak of the war. Let us this morning reflect upoi this truth: We are no better thai our fellow men of Germany, tli British Isles, France and other war ring lands. The good God abov gives us exemption from war and fit prosperity that accompanies the ex emption as no reward of merit. I is not for this unclerical newspape to sermonize but if we marvel, as w are wont to do, at what we call "strange dispensation of Providence when affliction befalls tho seemingl innocent, it is equally obligator \ that we marvel at the dispensatioi whereby we escape so great calami ties. We are not without fault her in Ameriaca. One may not read o the horror of race conflict that dis graces a county in our neiglibo State of Georgia and dare to utte thanks that "we are not as othe men." One may not read the new of the day as it comes from arty par of our Republic without taking not of injustices as well as of crime that arraign our civilization a ugly with defect before the judiciou and candid. Yet we may hope am with humility believe that our peo pie are at heart sound and that the; iiuvc 111 mi'iii mai wuirn HiMiir growth and the bettor strengtl and prosperity of tlie nation and tin State. In South Carolina t lie new yea has uncommon interest in that it be gins the trial of the prohibition o traffic in intoxicating liquors. Hov that trial will end it is not for Tin State or its readers to predict or in quire. It is for all of us to se< clearly the supreme reason that w? exalt the law and give to it whatevei support Hows from a citizenship thai is self-respect-tig and that looks for ward to the maintenance of a com monwealth of nndeflled integrity. The day is propitious for tin United States in that it brings tin tidings that promise continued friend ly relations with Germany and A lis tria-Hungary. Only the clear-minrl ed gentleman who is foremost 11 place in this Republic and his skille< advisers know how nearly and otter our country lias been menaced wit! war in the last ten months but al of us know that the iine lias beer full of that danger. Our peace witl the European powers can by n< means be assured so long as tliej are in a state of madness but we ma> at least felicitate ourselves on tin repeated evidence that the mer chosen to guide our national policiet are honest, able and firm, men tc whom ambibtion, pride and passior are subjugate. In political affairs the people o South Carolina are of one mind witl the Democrats of the country am that mind is single for the continua timi in office of the President. Tha the great majority of the America: people are of the opinion that hi aervices may not be dispensed wit! in these critical days seems as sur as that American common sense ha been historically unerring. If ther shall be division In respect of Stat politics, it will be caused by persona WAR I'PON PAIN. Pain is a visitor to every home am usually omes quite unexpected!)
