WM The poll ical campaign of 1906 •peoed last Monday when the demo eratic boats weembled in convention at the call of the county chairman. The large crowd present gave abundant evidence of the interest taken in the •election of our officers. At the present time the campaign gives every appear ance of being a peaceful, quiet and har monious one. The re are no iwues that are likely to divide the people into hostile camps, and the hope is freely indulged that there will be no personalities, no bitterness, no mod slinging. The one aim of every patriotic citizen should !>e to select the best men available for every office. The only issue that is likely to arise Is that of the dispensarv, and that does not seem to worry the people of this county very much. It was thought by some that an effort would be made to pass resolutions condemning the dis pensary and instructing our delegates to the state convention, but no such plan developed and our delegates go to Columbia free to vote as they see flt. * o V . There is no good reason for any mud- llinging in this campaign. Of course, every candidate will push his claims with earnestness and zeal, but there is bo excuse to take an unfair advantage of his opponent. Every candidate should base his clsim for election upon his individual merits and not npon the demerits of the other fellow. And as Maj. Howell well said in his address to the county convention: "The man who hopes to win by abuse of his competitor, is not fit to hold any office." If a man is not qualified in character, experience and ability, he ought not to offer for of fice and no amount, of villification and abase will supply these necessary qualifications. So we hope t^iere will be an interesting campaign but one noted for its cleanness, purity and good fellowship. OUTLOOK FOU CAN DIDATE CHOP. <* The ontlook for the crop of candidates b indeed promising. In fact, Colleton's reputation would be seriously shaken were there to be a dearth of candidates this year. There are always a large number of patriotic sous who are will ing to place themselves at the service of their fellow-countrymen, and there is no reason to believe that tbere will not be the usual number this year. SOMK ACTUAL AND PROSPECTIVE CAN DIDATES. Since Senator Peurifoy has annonnced his determination not to be a candidate for re-election to the Senate, several prominent men have expressed their purpoee of making the race. Among .these are Hon, W. J. Pishburne, Mr J S. Griffin aud Col. J. W. Hill. The cards of Messrs Griffin and Fishborne are published this week And they are in the race to the finish. Col. Hill has not fully made up his mind yet, bnt he, too, will probably be a candidate. .... S; For the house of representatives, Hon. W.C. Brant and Hon. J. M. Walker will stand for re-election. Opposing them they will have Hog. John B. Smith and probably Mr John 0. Goodwin. Messrs Brant, Walker and Smith are al ready out. There are three places to fill and It is likely there will be some new material in the field later. Hon. W. R Fox was here Moaday and when asked If he would ran, replied in the negative f^pmbody from St. Pauls is sure to ran. Several prominent men in that section * have been mentioned,among them being Messrs 8. J. Rnxnph, M. W. Brown, 8. G. Fits Simons, L. C. Behling, and 0. M. . Gibson. Since writing the above we have received a card from Treararsr D. L. Smith announcing himself a candi date The race for County Treasurer will an open ons. Mr D. L. Smith, the pop ular aud efficient incumbent, will not stand for re-election, ^hen seen by a representative of The Press and Stand, ard he stated positively that he would not run for treasurer, bnt will be a can didate for one of the seats in the house of reprecentatives. He is grateful for the handsome vote he has always re- 1 * calved and hopes that the people Will •end him to the legudatiuc. The candi dates already announced frr trensnrer are Messrs R. E. Jones aud W. 8. Mar vin, bnt it is not known h*w many more will enter. It Is very probable that Mr C. W. Pellnm will be in the rare again. We have heard of no opposition to Auditor Murray as yet, bnt there will >robably be some one in the field before the rime for filing pledges expires. At present the race for Superintendent of Education is between Dr H. W. Black and Prof T. B. Caldwell. It has been stated that Mr S. B. Sannders would also be in the race but we have a no definite information to that effect. We have beard of no opposition to Col. Jno. D. Edwards for Probate Judge. He will very probably succeed himself without opposition. There will be no election for Sheriff, Clerk of Gourt, and Coroner this year, the incumbents have two more years before their terms expire. HON DAVID 0. ROBINSON. benefited by Vinol After All Other Medicines Had Failed. The Hon David O. Robin«on, County Treasurer of Frankfort, Ky., writes: "I was very much run down from over work, and suffered from indigestion aud a severe nervous trouble. The medicines prescribed all tailed to help me, and I could not take cod liver oil or emulsions, as the greasy mixtures upset my stomach. One of our county officials id me about your deUcions cod liver preparation, Vino!, and what it had lone for him. I decided to try it, and n • remarkably short time I was a well man. Vinol built me np, cured my stomach and nervous trouble and I have not been so well for years." Onr local druggist, Dr John M Klein, savs, "Vinol cures conditions like this iccanse it positively contains in a high- y concentrated form all of the vitality- making aud body-building properties of cod liver^.oil actually taken from resh cods’ iivers'and without a drop of oil to upset the stomach aud retard its work." "We ask every run down, nervous, debilitated, aged or weak person in Walterboro and every person suffering rom. stubborn colds, hanging ou couglu, bronchitis or incipient consamp- tion to try Vinol on our guarantee to return yonrt money if it fails to give satisfaction." John M Klein, druggist. ]?robate tfudgo JYotioas. Notice.

Here is an interesting study: Make out a list of all the people you know, and estimate the amount of money each one earns in a year. ’ Total it up. The amount will be surprisingly large. Now, of all those people, only the few who SAVE SOMETHING really make any thing at all. Simply earning money isn’t mak- „ tng it—what slips through the earner's fingers ' is finally “made M by somebody else. Don’t forget to count yourself in on the list, and if you are not ‘‘making” money begin now to save with us.
