Aa a consequence . there have had to be little eeonomiea and aavlaga here and there to make ap the lorn. Bat this country add our people are faat learning te turn the catastrophe Into a blessing, an<£good la beginning to come from the .losses aad the conflict. As a State, South. Carolina has prospered. She baa enjoyed peace and prosperity. The chief crop of the State, cotttfc, has brought a good price, and, despite the fact that i«* *cbpp l|pa keen saort, th/sre hmg^ een little loet aa a consequence. A afe and sane goverament has been ivm the people by the admlnlstrak tibn in chsrge of the State govern- r, .2nt. Law and order has been -maintained, and the people of' the State are satisfied with what has proven a constructive admin 1st ra tion. State-wide prohibition Ha.; been voted and will go into effect on January first, and. in the opinion of many, this marks the beginning o new era. Diversified farming hns made it possible for this Staie fn a large meal a re to overcome the evil effects qf .the depression ca*rec’ Vy Ne var. '. . , .-, . In Colleton County 11*15 ' has noted “^many improvements, a'lut leaves the people of the county ir.'J la tter condition than .they--were a! ear ago. Wfiile the crops of the '‘ounty w/n-e* very short in many' lo calities, the shortage was niade up ! n a larjte measure by the stricte i economy in the home-c 1 lo the pro-- duction of t!>e crop. This has left business concerns seUiitg- fnrme.-.': fth smaller business reports for the r. but It Is much better than it here had been, larger ■vales wliii nothing to pay for them. On the whole the county L? not in- a />»J condition amt fares the new 7 year with more hope than was true a year ago.* “ / Walterboref has enjo><l(l a period of prosperity during 11*15. A bon<l .Tftue -for water.‘lights and, sewerage .4 / • . , has be*'n expended and supplier, ,i. long-felt want. The business houses have all'done g good business acd’.i •s^fe business- The early part of the year was depressing, but the latter part hag made for*tt and th>' merchants have little to complain aboiH ip their fall business. The outlook Is extremely bright^ and XoP**ful, and the new year will-find Walterboro full of cxpoctaiyy r.mj hc*!»e for rt»e great thl-hpk'to be d(3he luring tfi. nett year. fthig out the old; ring in-the rev. have -shal 1 with propriety *that. some remark« are made in referee or to the yea * that U * dying and to tfce year th.;t •a a horning. . In so far as the old year is concerned this has he^n a most eventful one. both from the \olict* to Subscribers. After the first of February, The Press und Standard will ■*’b** $1.50 per y^ar instead of |.1.00 ns qow. This raise in price will, we feel sure, be understood and no ob jection made to the proposed In crease in price. Nearly every week ly newspaper Is getting' thla price now^Vor subscription, and It is not too larpe. The price of everything .going bo. make a newspaper now in wveral tidies what It was a few years ago. and The Press and Stand ard has kept its subscription prie-y (he sain** for all these years. Now v.j! feel that the people who read it wiil/feel that It is just that they hould pay something like' the -rod '1 the subs&iption price. Subscrib- never.pay anything like the eoa of their paper, anyway. This Is horn-? • the advertisers, and the Subscrib er is the beneficiary^ If there were , o advertis-'rs, the price of a week ly newspaper would be not Irss thaii $5.00 .per year—would have toijbe tto keep the publishor from bankruptcy. '• to raise the price of The Pres* an«J Standard only &0 cents r. year is a mere bagat:lle—ler,e' thatt one i nt Jv***k.
