We have heard several persona aay they had not seen a drunken man this Christmas, whldi was something th<)y could not any as to any other Christmas they ever remembet'. This Is due to leg- IslatlOn, and .Is a very commendable state of affairs. Eveqr person speak ing of thla absence of liquor and its'' effect* from the celebration of the Mrth of the Prineo of Pedce, feels that It is a good thing for there not 4o have been any evidence of drunk enness.. We agree with them. We saw men taking home with them lit tle packages for the children or for the wife of the home, who hereto fore took home a gallon.. We could not help contrasting the eag erness with which his coming homi- was awaited this Christmas, and the fear and trembling caused by h.la homecoming a. year ago. The man who. afte* t.Wls ocular demon stration of the benefits- of prohibi tion, and will still insist that the Vile stuff should be sold, is not u safe man to follow.. We trust that the legislature which wi H convene next we^k will be the first in the nation to ratify tho constitutional amendment recently voted by Con gress. for nation-wide, prohibition*,* We also wish it to go a step furthe ' jjjncj provide total prohibition fo- South Carolina, pending the odity tlon of this amendment by the nec essary three-fourths of the States. * w * MHm’LD THNA’OI’NTY IIK1.F; . —0-0— As one who has been connected with the holding, of seven of the nlne^fairs held in this county, ami having observed the great good they do the people of the county gener ally, the editor of The Press an 1 Standard U» Of the «>plnion that the county should make '* contribution towards helping pay premiums a: the fair each year. The future wel fare of the county depends upon the development of the agricultural and llvo stock industries of the countv. and there is no agency which will help more effectively in doing this than the holding of good county fairs. These Should be fostered In every way possible, and as the de velopment of these industries is beneficial to the people of all the codnty, we see no impropriety in making a small appropriation from the public leasury for this purpose. THE PRESS AND STANDARD _ '—■ M gg Wednesday, January 2, 1918. In Canada fairs are assisted by the government of the Dominion, and by each province, even UP th« oMent of paying two-thirds of the premium lists. In Alberta, Canada. *0 fairs are held each year, and the province has only ZlO.OOtf people, and only RO.Dqu fanners, yet these fairs are .given assistance financial ly to the amount of $125,000 annu ally. or rather this Is -the amount given in 1917. 8of the experiment Is hot neyy and we are informed that this satm- thing is done In some of, the north western states of the Union. W’hv not In Colleton? The editor of The Press am! Standard Is also a member of the ,1'olleton delegation, and we should like to hear from *ome of .the peo/ pie of the county on this proposi tion. What do you think of this? 1>o you think'Colleton county can stand an appropriation of say. $r»00._elit>- cr.for equipment.-or as a portion of the premium money’ Would not a cattle barn for properly exhibiting the gooj cattl© of the county be worth while? A better poultry building and new coops arc neces sary for next fair. Would it not be a good tiling for the county to a-* sisft. in building these? At any rate * the (dua Is worth thlnkinjKiiyer. an*'. Jl.» usslng. Nov. 11, 1861. 0 My Dear Husband: . I received your lpttei\ and was glad to hear that you ‘’were Well.

And what ever has be n done has becom-? his tory, and goes down as guccoss, or failure. Just in proportion as we have done our best. It has been an exceptional year in many ways.. I geuss there are but few people who have not accomplished more In the past year/ than in any previous year of their existence..'. We have made greater strides as a nation, and have done more as a State and cofinty. and even as a community. So. as in a collective sense, so In an indi vidual sense. And a pity it is if we can not as individuals look over the past year and see something accom plished that we had been striving for, perhaps for some several, years, and although, we are not permitted to see our every hope realized, yet. in a greater measure than, ever be fore. they were brought to pass in 1917. It seems that the conflicts of thla good year, were more fierce than ever, and their number were in creased four fold. yet. there has been given strength to overcome them all. Or. if not all. then a greater amount of them than In anv prevjous year.. , Kven the seasons themselves have been pf unusual kinds, the summer was hotter, and the win*er colder than in many years. We have had two snows al ready this winter and even now. while I write, snow is falling thick and fast. Altogether it has been a yea r of wonders as well as one of wars.
