Joeeph Schultz and A. J. Kivnnaugh, two of the pickpockets who were ar rested at j)»e fair grounde daring the last State Fair in Columbia, were con victed last week and sentenced to ten years hard work in the penitentiary .The jury did not take mere than fifteen minutes to reach a verdict. This con viction and the long term which they will serve ought to be a warning to •thers who carry on this nefarious work. The officers of the law are to be congrat ulated upon their success in landing these thieves. We hope that this will so impress the balance of the rogues that the people will be enabled to go to the state fair without the fear of being robbed of their possessions. # # ‘ c « Our sister town, Summerville, has recently erected a handsome new school hnikling. We congratulate the people of that town upon their enterprise and hope that our own people will be in spired to efforts along the same lino. No one will dispute the fact that ‘Waiter- boro is sorely ia need of a new school Ifailding. The present one, bedsides being old and poorly arranged, is en tirely too small to accommodate the children of this school district. In fact, a part of the oltTT. M. C. A. building has been pressed into service for the past two years in order to accommodate a portion of the children who can not find room at the academy. Thus we find one teacher with a large number of children occupying a building in a different part of town. It seems to ns that this condition of affairs ought not to exist much longer. There is no doubt about the ability of the people of this town to build and equip a modern school bolding, and it is a reflection upon the enterprise of the town to pnt up longer with the present school facili ties. Hie township and county boards of . equalization will meet in a short time to take up the matter of assessment of property. The members of these boards are selected on account of their high character, their fearlessness in the dis* sbarge of duty, and are taken from dif ferent portion of eaoh township on ac count of their knowledge of local condi- tioos in their respective communities. The theory of the law is that they know, er will inform themselves if they do not know, the property and its valne in their townships. They are appointed for the purpose of assisting the auditor in equalizing the property and to see that no property escapes that is subject to taxation. Now the complaint has been and is still heard that the burden of taxation is not born equally. It is the duty of these various boards to equalize the assessment of property. There (hould be no favors shown because of friend ship, relationship or any other cause. But the burden of taxation should bear upon all property alike, and we hope that onr boards will use their best Jaigmest in this county. .• Crazy Wolf had eaten the bread of little Scar and had smoked the pipe of peace.

Editor Press and Standard: What shall I aay? No time to write, no time to read. Oh what a rn-hing age! Everybody on the mad rush, us if the very existence here and here after depended on it. Is it true? In the straggle for bread so great? Is it so much harder to make a living now in this progressive age with all the improved machinery at hand, than it was 25 or 50 years ago? Is it necessary to train our children for the business world only, leaving un developed the religious and social elements of character? Oh what a mistake we are making! What kind of a harvest can we expect from such a sowing? A harvest of graft, greed and selfishness. I fear too many of us who claim to be Christians re verse the injunction of the Great Teacher. “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added nnto you.” -v- Before Christmas we sent The Press and Standard the honor roll for the Weimer school with the promise that if it was published we would send it in monthly. Just af ter that our teacher went home to spend the holidays, and for some reason, never returned. After several weeks we opened school again and have an excellent teacher in the per son ot Miss Etta Williams, daughter ofMqjBenS William* of Brunson. Below find the honor roll for the first month of her school. Cor. One would think the Laxative Idea in a cough syrup should have been advanced long before it was. It seems the only rational remedy for coughs and colds would be to move the bowels and clean the mucous membranes of the throat and lungs at the same time.

Miss Bertie McTeer has gone to Hendersonville for a few days rest, after teaching the Bebhng school for two terms. Next week she will re turn and take charge of. Ethel’s school.

Most people who feed the gray squir rels In the big porks fall to realize that It ia no kindness to give these pretty little animals such soft shell nuts as almonds, peanuts and chestnuts. Hu man beings who do not have to actual ly forage for food naturally enough feel that It Is thoughtfulness Itself to save file squirrels work. The fact Is, how ever, that a squirrel's teeth grow so rapidly that, deprived of their normal use, they might even through their Very uselessness become long enough to put this charming rodent of the trees in danger ..of starvation. Hickory, pecan and hasel nuts are the proper food to throw to the squirrels.—Brooklyn Life. Dr.King's New Life Pills The bMt In th« world. - WT.
