When we next go to press a new year will have rolled in upon us,let us hope with this new year that past ex peorience will cause us to know better how to manage our affairs, and let us all rea'ize that we have reached anoth er miles-one on life's road. New res olutions are made the first of every year, let us hope that these will be made and stocd to, for the advance ment of ourselves and our fellows. Let our business community take on a renewed vigor and set the wheels of progress in motion to wheel us in line with other communities. The year now about to bid us farewell, is one in which the nation has made gi gantic strides and placed itself, beside the great nations of the earth. The changes that will come with this con dition, is as yet mere conjecture, but as things are to day the new year Ends the United States flushed with victory from a war purporting to be for "humanity." Our possessions have been.enlarged, if not enhanced, and our people are more united than ever before. If there be any virtue in the solidity of the people of a nation, this should be the greatest on earth, for the events of the past few months, from the declaration of war aainst Spain, to the decoration of a Repub lican President with a confederate badge, has so welded the bond of Union that we cannot conceive how there can possibly be any severance; today we find the abolition of section al lines, men who won laurels on the fields of Virginia uniformed in Con federate grey, now heroes in the na tional defence uniformed in Federal blue. These same men who from 61 to 65 fought each other with a valor that the world stood still in wonder, in 1898 were side by side at El (Janey and San Juan fighting a common foe, drawing the same rations and drink ing from the same canteen. A change has come to the nation, a grand stride forward has been taken and the Stars and Stripes float over places which a year ago were not dreamed of. As the nation has moved forward, the spirit of progress should perme ate every city, town, hamlet, and community. Let us push forward in every branch of life to make the year 1899 an iinprovement on the past. Major Russell B. Harrison, a son of ex-president Harrison, was a little too previous in hoisting "Old Glory" over Fort Atares, and wvas called down by General Lee. England continues to order more war ships; who know~s but Uncle Sam and Johnny Bull have entered into a secret copartnership to go into the land-grabbing business? The newspapers are ripping Lieut enant Hobson up the back for kissing the woman at his receptions. Hob son enjoys the sport and these growl ing editors are only jealous because they "are not in it." Senators Hoar and McLaurin made speeches at the Charleston hotel last Thursday evening at the New Eng land Society dinner wvhich will be re ceived by the whole country as mas terpieces of oratory and eloquence. Colonel Wilie Jones of the 2nd Regiment has so endeared himself to the soldiers in his command that they have petitioned him not to com ply with the strong petition from the business men of Columbia, asking that he return home. Senator Butler of North Carolina, the beneficiary of the Populist-Re publican combination, has prepared a bill for the United States Senate to require the government to pension Confederate soldiers. This proposi tion will never reach a successful cul mination, notwithstanding the fact that we have a re-united country. The State constables did very wrong in seizing the wines that were to be used at the New England So city dinner in Charleston last week, but how were they to distinguish be tween the legitimate and illegitimate stuff when both were stored in a place notoriously run as a club blind tiger. It is a notorious fact that the Charleston hotel care sells liquor It is rumored that Lieutenant Gov ernor McSweeney will be a candidate to succeed Governor Ellerbe. Gov ernor McSweeney has not expressed any intention of being a candidate, but should he enter the race he will be a winner, as there is no man in public life iore deserving than he, for public recognition. The coming General Assembly will take up a good part of its time tinkering with liquor legislation, but we doubt exceedingly if there will be many material changes in the law. The county boards may be abolished and we hope they will, because we cannot see what good they do, and instead of the county boards, an in spector system would be an iuprove ment. Six competent men can be. employed at a considerably less ex pense, who could visit the various dispensaries and accomplish better results. Some of the leading business men at the North who opposed the elec tion of Bryan in 1896 are now writing him letters urging him to enter the contest again. Andrew Carnegie, the great steel manufacturer, wrote him that "I believe you to be the only man in the country today who can save us from the twin evils of imper ialism and militarism." Since Bry an's resignation from the army there has come a great change in the minds of many people, especially since he has given utterance to his views on the present policy of the administra tion. I he battle in the next cam paign will be fought on many new questions with the financial issue pre dominating. ' There is some taik of an effort to get the legislature to make a law reg ulating tobacco warehouse charges, and in some places the warehouse managers have taken time by the forelock and published a list of re duced charges. These matters can best be regulated by competition and we think it unwise to tinker with it by legislation. The tobacco industry is comparatively in its infancy in this State and is as yet only experimental; if rates and charges are tampered with by the law-making power, it might have the effect of retarding, rather than improving the industry. Let the tobacco business alone until business men know there is money in it, and then competition will regulate it, as it does with all other indus tries. The free silver men ini Congress are going to make a vigorous opposition to a large increase in the army. The New York 'Journal quotes the figures showing a total contemplated expen diture next year of nearly $360,000, 000 for military and naval purposes, and says: "That is to say, we, the great acific nation of the world, freed by our situation from any fear of inva sion and proud of our ability to de vote our national energies to the im provement of our condition, are spending nearly twice as much for warlike purposes as Germany, which is in immediate contact on land with seven Powers, disposing of nearly two million regular troops on a peace footing and over ten million trained soldiers in time of war." Shall the time for collecting taxes be extended? If extended, how many who are unable to pay would be benefited? In our judgment, the peop'- who would reap the greatest bendt are those who can pay their taxes and won't, because there has al ways been a custom 1n this State to extend the time. The great argu ment used by many who want an ex tension, is that it will enable people to arrange with those who give them credit at the beginning of the new year, but this cannot be depended on, because the conditions are such now that very few merchants will be able to furnish cash for taxes; it will be as much as they can do to furnish meat and bread for the people to make a crop, and in many instances the supplies will be cut short. If the 'time for collecting taxes is to be ex tended every year it would be far better to set the time in January or February and stop the extension business. How's This!

Here is an arithmetical problem that is going the rounds: A is indebted to B$5, Bto C, C to D, DtoE, Eto F, same amount. A, B, C, D and E each have $1 and no more and con sequently they cannot pay their debt. They put their money all together. A takes the $5, goes to B, pays his debt and gets his receipt. B does the same to C, C to D, D to E and E to F. A, B, C, D and E are out of debt, and F has his money. Who, if any one, is the loser? The sooner a congh or cold is cured with out harnm to the. sniferer the better. Lin tzering colds are dangerous. A hbacking. ough is distressing. One Thnute Congi :ure quickly cures it. Why suffer when such a cough cure is within reach? It is Marriage at Sardinia. One of those Pudding Swamp to bacco flies has been hovering around and imbibing the sweets of a Sar dinia flower all the summer and now the flower has been transplanted to that more congenial soil. Mr. Walter McFadden of New Zion was happily married to Miss Blanche DuBose of this place, at the resi dence of the bride's brother, Mr. Reg. DuBose, Wednesday evening, Dec. 21. Rev. S. E. Bishop performed the ceremony. The weather was right inclement, but it did not deter the efforts of lov ing hands to make everything beau tiful and pleasant for the young cou ple. The parlor was very prettily decorated by their schoolmates and friends. The attendants were: Miss Lillie Player, with Mr. Craig Burgess. Miss Florence Evans,with Mr. Scott Burgess. Miss Irene Powell, with Mr. Simeon Youmans. Miss Idelle Andrews, with Mr. Ern est Rose. - Miss Vida McFadden, with Mr. Willie Worsham. Miss Arrie Rose, with Mr. Jimm.e Epps. Miss Meta White acted as maid of honor, and Mr. Leon McFadden as best man. The bride and groom stood under an arch of winter green, from which was suspended a bell of tinsel and gauze, where the nuptial knot was tied by their be oved pastor. After the cer no iy 'was over the bridal party retired as the bridal chorus was rende ed by Miss Ger trude DuRant and repaired to the din ing room, where a splendid repast was spread to the invited guests. The bride and bridesmaids were dressed in white organdie. The bride carried in her hend a beautiful bouquet of white chrysanthemums. ' The couple with their waiters and many friends left here this morning to attend an entertainment to be iven by the groom's mother, Mrs. J. . McFadden. W. Sardinia, Dec. 22, 1898. Remarkable Rescue.

He told her she was a hope less victim of Cousuzmption and that no medicine could cure her. Her druggist suggested Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption; she bought a bottle and to her delight found herself benefitted froni first dose. She continued its use and after taking six bottles, found herself sound and well; now does her own housework, and is as well as she ever was.-Free trial bottles of this great Discovery at R. B. Loryea's Drug Store. Large bottles 50 cunts and $1.00'. 6 Packsville Paragrapbs. Miss Lou Bradham has gone to visit friends and relatives at Jen nings, Fla. She seems to have left some forlorn friends here,though it is not "the girl I left behind me" this time. Hon. T. B. Owen was in town last Monday. We regret to know that he has a little son who is very ill, and hope that lie will soon reco'er. Miss Marie Barwick has gone to spend the holidays with the home folks in Sumter. The friends of Mr. Hampton Lackey are pleased to know that he is spend ing holiday vacation at home. Mr. Lackey is a bright student of the South Carolina Co-educational Insti tute, Edgefield, S. C. Mr. James Cuttino speals of returning with him to this institute. ,Ve wish you much success, young gentlemen. The students of Packsville Acad emy have just completed a month of good studying. That excellent teach er, Miss Marion Kruse, assisted by Mrs. Hattie Broadway, is in charge of the primary department. Mrs. H. B. Senterfeit has gone on a visit to her parents at Ridge Spring, S. C. Mr. Charlie Curtis seems a little blue, owing to the fact that he has not been able to get an operator to relieve him in order that he may go to see his best girl during the holi days. Mr. Charlie Cuttino will make his home in Sumter after January 1. where he will engage in the study of law, preparatory for admission to the Bar. We have the assurance to be lieve that he will make a success in his chosen profession and extend to him our good wishes. Rev. A. T. Dunlap, who will have the pastoral charge of the Santee circuit next yea~r, has already moved to Summerton and will preach here Sunday af-ternoon. The members of the Baptist church here have extended a call to Rev. E. D. WVells of Georgetown. As yet it is unknown whether he will accept; as the congregation is not large and would not require his full time his acceptance is doubted, yet it is to be hoped that he may be with us next year, as Mr. Wells has a host of friends here who would gladly wel come him. Your scribe had the pleasure of at tending the Christmas tree and ex hibition given by Miss Eva Curtis last Friday evening and feels it a duty to compliment this young lady in no weak terms. Much proof was exhibited that her labor has been faithful and successful. The pupils were well trained in Christmas carols and recitations of which they ac quitted themselves admirably well. The tree was laden with many hand some presents for the little ones and their friends. This is Miss Eva's sec ond year at this school. Those peo ple know a good teacher. May she enjoy many such occasions. The Methodist Sunday school here gave a very pretty ladder laden with many valuable and handsome pres ents for its members. It was most exquisitely decorated with moss and evergreeus, and when lighted up with tapers presented a beautiful appear ance. This is a new and novel feat ure of Christmas joys, due to the en ergy and generosity of that most af fable and congenial young la'dy, Miss Jessie Curtis, whom every body loves. It was unveiled at the home of Mr. Sidney Matthews Saturday evening. FAREWELL TO 1898.

Your ilowing locks are frosted white, And death looks from your eye, ou'll surely pass away Saturday night (Good-bye, old friend, good-bye.

BLONDELLE. Packsville, Dec. 24, 1808. Woman detests a serpent through p~rofesina jelousy. The Lay of Mhe Last Rebel. I am a good old rebel. And that's what just I am; And for this land of freedom I do not care a damn. I'm very glad I fit them, I only wish we'd won; And I don't want any pardon For anything I've done. I hates the constitution, And the glorious Union, too; I bates the Freedman's bureau, And the niggers dressed in blue. I hate the American eagle With its feathers and its fuss; And them lying, cheating Yankees I hates them wuss and wuss. I followed old man Robert For nigh four years or more, And I caught the rheumatism A camping in the snow. They starved me at Point Lookout, Of that I'm sartain, sure; But I killed a heap of Yankees And I wish I had killed more. Three hundred thousand Yankees Lie buried in our dust; We killed three hundred thousand 'Afore they conquered us. They died of Southern fevers And Southern shell and shot; I wish we'd killed a million, 'Twouldn't pay for what they got. I've put away my musket, For I ain't gwine to fight; But I have it always ready, Tho' I put it out of sight. And I don't want any pardon; For what I was, I am; And I won't be reconstructed, If I do, may I be d-. Two Pointed Questions Answered. Wb:Lt is the use of making a better article than your cmel)titor if yon can not get a better price for it? Ans.-As there is no difference in the price the Iublic will buy only the better, so tbat while on profits may be!. maller on a single sale they will lie much greater in the aggregate. How can you get the public to know your make is the best? If both articles are brought prominently before the public both are certain to be tried and the imblie will very quickly pass judg. ment on them and use only the better one. This explains the large sale or Chamber labi's Cough Remedy. The people have been using it for years and have found that it can always be depended upon. They may occasionally take up with some fash ionable novelty pnt forth with exaggerated claims, lint are certain to return to the one remedy that they know to be reliable, and for coaghs, colds and croup there is noth ing equal to Chamberlain's Coutb Remedy.
