This is my wirh for all the read ers of The Waltcrboro Press and Standard, and all who ?.re not but who should be, may the year ‘bring for all of us more than H'l* brought. May the new year brine more prosperity, more industry, more independence, more hope* and. j fruition of hopes than the year just gone. Of course we have made mistake; ; in 1114—who has not? We shall ' make mistakes in 1915—W</ are human. But let us not make the same mistake twice. The people of Colleton connty can profitably make a few New Year’s resolutions which will be productive of good for >he county. They can resolve to make the county as a whole self supporting. Every farm er in the county can well afford to plant most of his farm in food crop*, making cotton a surplus. Theu he ^ can afford to have a few bogs, and i cattle. His wife can rals-' chickens and turkeys, and a good family gar den with an abundance of nil the 'garden truck which the climate down there suits so well. The fam ily can cat all of this they can and can all they can't. Rotate crops, raise hogs, cattle and poultry and 1 j the farmpjwlll be self-supporting. - j Then, a resolution to live a bU j for my children to attend, and that ’ ■ linll kc;n them in school as l^ng ' Is on;-n.

He said the great embarrassment to the , government in dealing with the: vrfeole matter was that some shippers had concealed contraband in the cargoes of non-contraband articles, for example, under a cargo of cotton, go long as there were instances of that kind, the president said, snspic ion waa cast on every shipment and ill cargoes were tibiae to doubt anr to search. The president was asked If the communication sent to Great Britain wan the" result of the recent gather ing of Pan-American diplomats here. He 'aid it was not. bnt that the position of the Uu ed plates would apply to neutrals and that the con- teoltiohs advanced were not particu lar to thi scountry. The president added the note was not based on any treaties between the United States and Great Britain bnt on the generally accepted princi ple of international law. Publicat ion of the substance of the American note this morning created widespread Interest In the capital. 'Foreign diplomats especially those from neutral countries, dlsrnseed it and congressmen who had protested to the state department on behalf of 'merchants and shippers of copper, fiour, wheat, foodstuffs, cotton and other products In which trade has been restricted, oxnressed their satls- Mr. and Mrs. Thos.

Those i who wish to make a living following any of the above callings should re ceive enough patronage to drive them speedily to some productive method of Industry. ‘ There is no sense in any man’s paying the ex orbitant, prices charged by these agents.
