I "We congratulate ourselves thai. with this issue* tte complete our first year of existence us , 4L .newspaper*. During the year just completed, we have had ? -our share of storm and cloudy ?weather, but We havo also been blessed with no inconsiderable degree of sunshine, thanks to ! the kindness of frieuds who have loyally stood by us through good 4ntd evil report. We oft ay say with truth, and without undue ^vnde that even when times were darkest with US, we never doubt ed the issue. Tlie people, taken as a whole ure al\yays just, aud * can be depended upon to appre ciate and reward by their pat roage, any honest effort to jrive them good service. Our success during our tir3t year of service ?s the edit- r and publisher of The People has auipjy jus tilled that feeling of confidence, and, we enter upon a new year su premely thankful t-o all for their Icindness, and solicit a continu ance of the same- and also in creased patronage. Our prices on all work are moderate. Out job work stands well at the front, we give you qu c': soi*\ice iu it, and iu the newspaper depart ment, we acknowledge no super iority by any weekly paper in the State of South Carolina. We give you practically all the local and country news, and endeaver to dress it up in chatty form, the only form we think that appeals to the general reading public. It was Abraham Lincoln, we believe, who said that "You can fool a part of the people all the time, some part of them a pari *>f the .time, but you can.'t fool all of them all tke tune," so to para phrase the sentence, we will say in conclusion that we have not y&> endeavored to fool anyone, and enter upon our second year in the absolute confidence that w6 have the respect and conti nence of all iu our entire honesty of opinions expressed by us din ing the year just ended. Natu . jrally, these expressions of opinions by us have not always met with universal approval in all instances, but we congratu late ourselves that the editorial conduct of the paper has com mended us to those who recog nise sincerity of purpose. We have endeavored to give you a good paper, and our purpose is to give you a better one during this year than we have been giv ing, but to do this, we must have your support. It is true that cotton *s low in price, but that lias nothing to d<o with you giv ing us your subscription, your job work, and your influence in tlie various com in unities in which you live. This of course refers to tlie country patronage es pecially, but is also applicable to the City patrofiage in the line of advertisin-; uu.l job work. We have already on our sub scription list almost all tke city subscribers whom we expect to socure, but now ones will be welcomed. With renewed tham.s to all our friends we bid farewell j to tiKi first anniversary of The! People. I Advert Ishig. How to advertise is the burn ing question now agitating tho public mind. It is a matter easy of solution however. The Urst tilling to flo is 1o place your ad vertisinent in the proper adver tising medium. If the editor of n reasonably popular newapiiper hasn't, sense enough to dress your ad. properly, and can't *}ITord to push it for you in his local column, his iraper is not the -one .you need. We want to call ?the uttention of all to the an nouncements of our advertisers. With cotton as low as it is, every one wants good goods for as littlo money as possible. Wo do not hesitate to recommend all oi?r pcoplu to any buyer. If we Un<*w to, we will not accept tin ad. from anyone whom we do uot cousider reliable. WoMMflg ntKtit nml Day.

"Graft is not increasing,**?ay, the St. L?ouis Globe- Democrats The exposure of it teems to be. however. The Senate leaders seem to have agreed upon what they are not going to do before March 4. Onr cousul at Tangier says there if* an utter lack of respect for the law in Morocco. The Mormons would feel at home in Morocco. There is always the danger, to be sure, thut if General A^dicks is not able to capture Deluwure he may, blow it up or sink it. Tom Lawson conceals his facts in a feather bed of words almost as gracefully as Bryan or Wat son. Elbert Hubbard has joined the Socialists. That ought to hold them for a little while, anyway. Tom Watson is probably con siderably disappointed, because every one seems to be willing Tor him to start a magazine so long as subscription to it is not compulsory. May Irwin is ready to furnish bail for Nan Patterson, but she appears to be u illiug to let Da vid B. Hill take his punishment. Most of the States have sworn ?n their new officers and will pro ceed to put in u couple of yeurs in swearing at them. Let us hope that General Stoessel will absolutely refuse lo surrender to the magazine publishers. ? It cost the Japs nearly as much to capture Port Arthur as it did us to get a quitclaim deed to the Philippines. We find some difficulty in arousing onr indignation over the latest reports to the effect that the high officials of Morocco are kidnapping each other. The entire Danish cabinet has resigned, continuing the oft-reit erated report T?hat there's some thing decayed in Denmark. The New copyrighted photo gi apli of John D. Itockefeller is out. It tends to coutirm most of the things that Tom Lawson has said ubout him. Eugliali. fishing trawlers had better hunt shelter. The baltic ilcet is coming back. Mrs. Chad wick is said to have had a passion for emeralds. The results would indicate that she had been overstocking with opals. There is still an open question as to whether it is valor or OAs ere t ion that is leading the Rus sian troops to remain as prison ers of the Japs instead of goiug home under parole. General Stoessel stuck to his determination to die in the last ditch until the Japs took the ditch away from him. CA SS ATT. Dear Ed: If you will, allow us a little space in your paper we will give a few dots of our section. Messrs. H. L. Wat kins and H. S. Thompson have succeeded in jrottinjr an orjran for Sandy CJrove church, which is verv much appreciated by the com niutiiiy. Wo extend our thanks for the interest that they have taken in getting an organ and we hope tliey will continue the good work. We ?sre glad to report that Mr. Kenneth McCaskill of this place has returned from a pleasure trip to Texas where he lias been visiting relatives and friends. We are glnd to report that Mr. Ti rontons, of North Carolina, who has the smallpox at this place is improving rapidly. Guess what young man of this sectiou went to see hisr best girl and his old mule broke loose and came home and so he had a gotxl excuse to go back the following Monday after his buggy. Wu have 110 marriages to re l>ort this time, but we think by the way that some of our young men are visiting the sand hills thore will be one before long. Mr. It. IV Kollins, of this dace, who has located a store iere is doing a very good busi ness. W> will close with best wishes to The People and good bye to all of our readers. Jack M R Tax Returns.
