A Happy^ N*w Year to you. 1 -|)rm*c'forget to write It M 191S.” Hay mech prosperity be given Col leton eoanty during the New Year. following is quoted from a latter received by the edi ct Tha Prea* and Standard from Clarenc* Poe, of The Pro- Ira Parmer: “My congratula- on yoar very progressive plat- la yonr last issue. 1 hope you Will carry it thru.” This refers to * proposed legislation in which we fgasted a field for the endeavor of the Colleton delegation. Wa are pleased that Mr. Poe thought these suggestions good, for there la no one for whom we have a hlger regard, pad no one whose commendation is more appreciated. On The Threshold. Wa are steading on tha threshold, i Ja4h« spaa door. . fa are treading os a borderland r e hare never trod before; Another year Is opening, and another ' year la gone. Wa have passed the darkness of the night; we are la the early morn; _We have left the Aids behind us o’er • which we scattswed seed; We pass into the futnre. which none of us can read. The corn among the weeds, the stones the surface mold. ■May yield a partial harvest; we hope for sixty-fold. Then hasten to fresh labor, to reap and thrash and sow; Then bid the New Year welcome, and lot the Old Year go. Then gather all your vigor; press forward in the fight; Aad let this be your motto: “For God and for the Right.’’ 1919? 1912 ha* been an eventful year. It will live In the history of State and Nation. It mark* the re turn to power of the Democrats in the election of a Democratic Presi dent and Congress, it marks in South Carolina a most bitter cam paign and the re-election as govern or of a man more censured for ains of omission and commission than any man in the public eye tocay. So much politically, in other res- ttae year has been a remarkable Sue. Great advancement has been made in the arts and sciences, and in correcting abuses; the battle uas been Joined between capital and labor, be tween trust* and large corporation* and the Ir^ividual. Pernaps no year has disclosed greater unrest politic ally an<^ Socially, nor a higher pur pose la atriving to better conditions, taaklnd as never before seems to he realising the right* of the individ- oal sod the duty of the strong to W»teet the weak.

Is noed; the old Cottrell newspaper tress has been replaced w*th a new Cranston, a great amou.it of tisw type and material has been added. All this makes the equipment of onr office as good as any in the State. The Press and. Standard enjoys the patronage and good will, we trust, of a much larger cllentlle than ever before. Its business has grown as a consequence of the improvements msde. The rule of rasb-la-edvaare for subscriptions has been tried, and has worked admirably. We would not ;o back to the old loose methods for any consideration. While we lose some old subscroers. we put on no re than we take off each month, and our subscription list is steadily growing. All this Is very gratifying o ua and we extend most sincere thank* to those persons and agencies ho have stood by ns and who are with us in our endeavor* to better conditions In the county generally. I OMR NEWSPAPER REFLECTIONS Every day conies an added realiza tion of the importance and responsi bility attaching to the publication of v weekly newspaper. It ia a hard and relentless task, and often a thankless one. Yet there Is a grati fication and satisfaction in knowing ne has such opportunities for doing a portion of the world’s work. Every week The Press and Standard speaks to more people than any person or agency in the county. It conveys .lews and Information which can be btained In no other way. Knowing this we strive to cover the field and resent only facts. Every man on the force asks “Is it true?” and If there is doubt of its truth, the ar ticle Is left out. We have had read ers say: “I did not know whether to believe tile report, but I waited to see if It came out In The Press and Standard, and I knew if It old it was true.” No higher compliment could. be paid any newspaper, and we ap preciate the confidence. The Press and Standard calla upon Its readers and friends to help in making the year 1913 the beat in Its hiatory. Tell us the news happenings of your community so we can publish them.

Wherever s ttatu* o: religion society needs help, wherever a scffmp is to be ousted from offlee, the public nstincttveiy turn to the newspaper (or help, Hree and there a newspa per shows the yellow streak and falls to assist, but It Is not Often. In view of these services, says the Fourth Estate, there is a growing recognition of the honorable charac ter of Journalism as s profession, a growing disposition to co-operate with the newspaper by helping It ob tain all legitimate news, and s grow ing tendency to extend adequate fi nancial support through subscript- .ons and advertising. The parcels post law which will go into effect the lint- of January is on* of the most forward steps ever taken In this country for the benefit of the rural resident, and for that matter for every person in the coun try at large. We trust our people will begin to use It, and thus reap some of the advantages of the law. It will be a great convenience to everyone, to be able to send parcels through the mail at a reasonable coat. Thu* ia being accomplished many things for the Improvement of the condition of the Termer, and the making of life in the country more desirable. We are pleased to note the inter est in our suggestioii that J600 be appropriated each year Tor three years for the county Mir association. In this issue is a card from B. - G. Price, county demonstration agent, commending the suggestion and of fering an amendment that any mon ey appropriated l>e of.ered as prizes. We can see no objection to such restriction and would be pleased to •eept the amendment. We trust others will give their v.ews and that he legislators will be aole to favor itch legislation. l!ie Press and Standard congrat ulates the* throe-young members of he boys’ edrn club of Colleton coun ty on winning the splendid trip to Columbia. The Newspaper Mission A newspaper can drop the same thought into a thousknd minds at the same moment. A newspaper ia an advisor who does not require to be sought, but goes out briefly every day of common weal, without dis tracting private affaire. Newspapers, therefore rjccome more necessary in proporKoa.as men become more equal individuals, and more to be feared. To suppose that they only serve to protect freedom would be to diminish their impor- tance. they maintain civilization. Notwithstanding all tae faults of our newspapers, theie :s one thins that can be said in behalf of Ameri can Journalism. It stands for un selfish work for community better ment. • It Is manifestly suicidal when a newspaper permits personal spite* to policy. Hence a convic tion and tradition has grow* up in the newspaper fraternity that con siderations of public wreifare alone must govern newspaper policy, ac cording to the be£. intelligence the editor. .

A great deal baa been said aad written regarding the .National Corn Exposition School inr Beys to bo held in connection with thn Nation al Corn Exposition, Columbia, S. C., Jan. 28—February 8tb, 1913, but there are probably man/ people who are not familiar with the details. The first question to consider is what Is this school to be? It is to be a source of information and'in spiration and at the same timevan outing for the prize winning boys of ihe Boy’s Corn Club of the entire South. An effort is being mado to have every county in each southern state to send two boys makin the best records. These will be properly cared for and well supervised in Co- imbia. Each day they will be di vided into squads and given instruc- .on by the experts in charge of the exhibits from the different states. A pleasure trip to Charleston and a cruise around the points >>f interest at the city has been planned, thus giving the boys an opportunity to see the historic place. At the close of the week’s school, the boys will be given diplomas or certificates showing that each boy lias taken the work prescribed. On the last night of the school, the city of Columbia will give a banquet to all the boys attending, where the toastmaster will be the boy holding the best record In the entire South. Here they will have an opportunity to mset boys from all the southern sales and many of the northern as well. They will study the exhibits qf all the Statff represented, thug getting direct 1 formation as to the products states. The problems being out by different Experiment Stations, will be studied and the importance of each problem stressed. These are only a very few of the things the boys will get from this school. The in spiration given the boys here will be worth fully as much as s year’s work in the ordinary school. The school will be conducted along semi-military lines, members of the Senior Class or Clemson Col lege acting as officers. The school will be under the direct charge of Mr. J. B. Hobby, an experienced man from Alabama. A regular will be made out and stery pected to follow same.J DefoiR ttf his schedule will be puRldMU later.
