The Press and Banner. BY HUGH WILSON. Wednesday, Jan. 4, 1883. Xew Drnc Store. We ask attention to the advertisement of the new drug store of Drs. Harrison & Ciame. who are now opening a choice lot of new drugs and lancy articles. The store is under the immediate supervision of Dr. Game, who is popular with our peopleaud known as a first class drusuist. i fcMtUful, efficient and conscieutous iu the discharge of every duty. Dr. Harrison, while associated in the drug business, will yield none of his devotion or jiilentlou to the practice of medicine. His office Is at the old stand, where lie will be ready to receive calls from those who may need his services. <?uo<l Farmer. Mr. W. P. Wardlaw, a steadfast friend of the Press and Banner, ts a good farmer. With two mule* he made 23 bales on 35 acres last year. Besides cotton, lie made eorn and meat. This is a good country to live In if we observe ihe rules tbat bring thrift, and no man should acknowledge himself to be a farmer who cannot make cotton, corn atid other needed articles on the farm. Faithful Worker. If your watch is out of fix or your jewelry needs repair, call on Mr. H. D. Reese who wi'l f?Tve you faithfully aud well.

Many, many thanks Mr. Press and Bauner man, for your kind remembrances, which ' came to hand several days ago. I have tried in the past to noie all news of importance Iami if I have failed to come up to the full measure of your expectations It Is not on ac- . count or a want of desire to do so, and muftt be charged to some other reason. , | Christmas day has come and gone, and about, rhe happiest people are the children wiih their toys and fire crackers. The house , wife is busy clearing away the dishes of the Cbrlstmas dinner, and turkey hash, that old , fashioned plantable dish, will greet us for several mornings to come, and the female turkey and setting hen mourn tor their leige lords. Capt. and Mrs. Watts gave the young peo- , pie of the community a nice dance on last < Thursday night. It was a dellghtrul occasion \ and everybody enjoyed themselves. Miss Kinma Sanders and others went down 1 lo .Newberry nisi *riaay evening to uucuu Lbe Annual Ball. Mr. Kdwurd Rice, who is in business In Charleston, is at home (or the holidays. We are always clad to see Ed. The Hon. Henry J. Kinard, after his arduous duiies as legislator is at home. He says he has done his best and that his conscience is cleur, and If he has made any mistakes, it was the head mid not the heart. Mr. James T. Bozeman, a leading citizen and business ntau of Cross Hill, is at home tor the holidays. THE LIQUOR LAW. We have read carefully the bill regulating the liquor traffic passed by the legislature. The papers all seem to be down 011 It, and style the "Governor Chief Tapster," and the State Chief bar keeper, etc. This we think is all wrong and we ask everybody to withhold comments until they have read the bill carefully. There Is no doubt but that It Is a great stride towards what we want, and we believe It is a stepping stone to ttiat great boon' "pro nlbition," and II carried out In good rami we reel assured i hat a great deal will be accomplished. We were Inclined at first to look upon ltwlih distrust and like others thought the Slate should uot Interfere with the trade or assume the responsibility of controlling its manufacture and sale, but the more we think of it the more* we are disposed to think 1 It is just what she ought to do. The State should have the welfare of Its citizens at heart, and to protect those citizens is duty. We have tried local option. We have tried everything under the sun, but this bill; now let us try It. It will certainly reduce the manufacture and sale of liquor within the hounds of the State. It will do away with drunkenness and sale of liquor by negroes and irresponsible parties, miuors, and con(1 nncd drunkards cannot get whiskey under this bill. It prohibits express companies from carrying it from place to place and If it does nothing more it is a good bill. It a man will only take time to attend the arrival of one ot our trains and notice the receipts of whiskey at our depots, he will be convinced f?! thai there is a great deal of gcod In this bflj, i : ?ind now that the State has taken a h?6d In . this thing, it will be her duty to^ofbtbe the law, and we do hope every citizen of .South Carolina, especially her prohibition Witsefci, will uphold the Governor and hit appclntees in the enforcement of the law. l^gntinlLIm are sufficient and If tbe proper roan 48 put at tlx- head, we are RatlRfled drunkenaAs and illegitimate Hale of liquor will b$ i>uppf eased. 1 At present It Is far better than the Chte*Roper bill or any other prohibition tblll tint ba# tieen offered. Just read tbe bill careflafy and und be convinced. The author <of tbipl)l is entitled to the thanks of tbe prohlbltloMta of tbo .suit*, ana the Legislature actM wfely in substituting it for all other bills.;. . _ PERSONAL MEXTIOSEft. >? *'* . r Invitations are out for a large party It Mr. John spearmun son next Thursday ofti.
