WEDNESDAY HAY (6. 1906 If Walterboro is to have a new school bnilthng at the opemnjr of the- next school term, it is about tinie that work should begin. ♦ * * We are still anxiously looking forjhat iron fence enclosing conrt house square. We are still hoping, but “Hope deferred, snake th the heart sick ” * * • The merchants of Walterboro ought to take immediate steps to improre the roads oyer the sand beds near town. By ' doing this, several thousand bales of cotton would come here next foil which heretofore have been going io 8t. wo ^ < Jeorge and other points. * • * • Senator Tillman is putting In some effective work in the United States Senate these days. When he gets through with Mr Roosevelt, the Presi dent will realize that there is at least one man who has the courage to expose •duplicity even in the highest places. „ • * # f Again we congratulate city council upon their effective work of improving ■the streets of Walterboro. At the pres ent rate it will not be long before onr infill thoroughfares will be in splendid condition. • • . The Colleton Cotton Growers' fAsso- ciution will meet at the courthouse iu Walterboro Friday, May 25. The pur pose of this meeting is to decide t)ie place and plan of a farmers warehouse. It is high time, if the farmers of Colle ton county ever expect to support the Southern Cotton Growers’ Association, to do something. The meetings of the Co lie ton Cotton Growers' Association -V / c heretofore have been very small, caused by the lack of interest of the farmers. It does Seem that bur farmers would turn out in full force and support a movement, which will benefit them directly. It will cost 91 cents to become a member of this association, 'and of coarse, there is not a farm er in Colleton county, who can not raise the membership fee. It makes no difference what the conditions are r , J at your homes—lay everything aside and attend the farmers meeting at the courthouse in Walterboro Friday, May . 96. Come with yonr minds made np ' <P' to support the farmers association. Schooner and Stsamsr Collide. New York. May 12.—The schooner Llzxie B.

The officers of the Storm Evprrlroeo 1 Deacrt of Sahara. To floe from a sand storm in the midst of n drenching rain seems an ab surd performance. The Arffb, however, experienced in the ways of Sahara, knows that when the rain stops the dunes are apt to begin their moat ter rible ‘'walking.” He woks shelter while there Js yet time. Our worst experience of the desert in one of Its mad tits, says the author of “In the Desert." was on a morning when, luckily for us perhaps, wo were tearing the large oasis of >>fta, near the Tunisian frontier. The dapping of the tent and the drumming of rain drops upon it awoke us, and Ahmoda. in swine excitement, hurried our depar ture. He explained that so long ns the rain lasted It would keep the sand quiet and that this was our opportune, ty. Accordingly, In a very short, time we had struck teut, loaded camels, sad dled ponies and were under way. It seemed to Us a somewhat purpose less proceeding. The rniu was and had been heavy. The ground was saturat ed. There seemed no prospect of Its drying in a hurry. As Xefta was only half a day's march away it seoimnl unnecessary to start in frantic haste iu the middle of the night In a pouring ruin. Ahmcdn, however, made uo an swer to our protests. The other Arabs seconded his efforts with all their en ergy. — Morning broke wan and sickly. As the light grew the rain slackened. The big warm drops became less frequent aud at last censed. The dull, opaque sky was pasty white aud the ulr hot and oppressive, hut the wind still blew ns hard ns or harder than ever. Hardly hud the rain stopped when I tasted between lips and teeth the fa miliar, gritty texture of sand. Hardly had the light increased sufficiently to disclose to view the drifts when all their edges and crests could bo seen crawling and flickering Iu the gale. Al ready there was the droning sound in the air w'hich meant that the dunes were walking. We saw at last the rea son for the hurry. The rain cannot hold the sand for more than the instant it is falling. As soon as it strikes the eagfli it sinks In. One moment you may be streaming with water like a drown ed rat, the next you are chokiug la clouds of sand. The air grew darker and darker, and the roar of the sand as it rushed along the desert made speech, except by shouting, Impossible. I could just dis tinguish our tall camels in the gloom, their ungainly action giving them something the look of ships pitching and tossing in a gale. Aiimedn led the way by some mys terious instinct to us totally incompre hensible. We followed us best we might, breathing sand as we W'ent, our heads bent to protect our faces. My recollection of the next two hours is no more detinite than would be the recol lection of being rolled over and over by n huge breaker. A singing and roaring In the ears, almost total blind ness, a sense of suffocation and .the feeling that I was In the haads of elements more powerful than myself are the vague impressions that remain. When we at last got to Nefta we could not have been more saturated with satid had wo been burled in it and dug up again. Hair, can, clothes were full of It. Our cheeks were scar let and sore with the ceaseless batter ing, and on them had formed bard crusts of sand, cemented by the wa ter that had streamed from our eyes. ^ f Candidate Cards. th« i® i) FOR THE SENATE.

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^lsn’t mak ing it—what slips through the earner’s fingers is finally “made” by somebody else. Don’t forget to count yourself in on the list, and if you are not “making” money begin now to save withms.
