They • have selected those who they think will best promote the interest of the town and everybody should uphold their hands in every good work. E very ben ly should pull together for the building up of Walterboro. We have a splendid town here, good water, no mosquitoes and many natural advantages which should make Walterboro one of the largest and most prosperous towns in the lower part of the State. What we need most now is co-operation on the part of tbe people, and especially the business men. We need water works, electric lights, better streets, better roads and a new school building. We have a council, we be lieve that will favor all of these im provement!, hot they cannot accomplish Mt. { a great deal without the co operation of the people. In oor opinion, the people have selected a good council and it is now up to the people to support them in their efforts to bnikl op this community. Many good men were not elected, bat •> it was impossible to elect all. and there should be no bitterness iu the mind of any one that on that account. Work for Walterboro. DRAIN THE LOW LANDS. The Agricnltoral Society of South Carolina has issued a call for a conven tion of the prominent people of the coast counties to be held at the Com mercial Clnb in Charleston June 20, apxt. The purpose of this convention is to consider ways and means of drain ing the low swamp lands in the coast counties of South Carolina. We are glad to see so mnch interest taken in this subject which is of such vital in terest to the people of this section of the SUft. There is no doubt about it, the greatest need of this part of the State is better drainage. If our low lands and swamps were drained tbe conditions in this section would he revoiutiouized in a few years. In addi tion to the fertile lands that wonld be reclaimed, the greatest boon to the people would he the improvement in the health conditions.

R»e« Is It Possible For tbe Hama to Avert Extinction f The only conceivable way In which tht* human iutelligcuce can ever suc ceed in averting the “procession of the great year" Is not by postponing the issue, but by reversing the process. The question is this: While energy is being dissipated In accordance with tbe natural law, can we so manipulate things as to accumulate energy, mak ing the unavailable available—notwith standing the fact that cosmic processes seem to be essentially irreversible? Now there Is assuredly no inherent reason why we should not accomplish this. It is true that hitherto all the atomic evolution 'that has been ob served Is atomic disintegration. We may speak now, Indeed, of the analysis of tbe elements. But so it was, we may remember, that the older 'chem istry- began. and yet analytic chemis try was the precursor of synthetic chemistry. We began by breaking up comiKumds, but now we can make thorn—can, indeed, make compounds hitherto unknown In nature. Similar ly. It is more than probable that we shall ere long learn to achieve the synthesis of the elements as well as their analysis. No energy Is ever lost. Even when the radium atom. Itself the child of the uranium atom, breaks down and dissipates Its energy, ending. It is supposed, as the dull atom of lead, the original energies are not destroyed. Why should they not be gathered up again and thus again become avail able? Are matter and energy to go on their way. ultimately destroying the human race?

J S GRIFFIN. that the teachers who know their buei* ness do not have to hunt jobs but the jobs hunt them. They do not wait until August or September before ac cepting p* si tions for another year. If, therefore, our trustees wonld s^ure the services of the best teachers, aud they should be satisfied with no other kind, they mast make their selection very soon In many places teachers have al ready been employed for another year, bnt there is yet time to get good ones if the trustees will act at once. The pro gress and development of the children for the next year depends upon the em ployment of the right kind of teacher. As the teacher is, so is the school Un- fortunate indeed are the children who fall into the hands of an incompetent, careless, and indifferent teacher. It means a great deal to the children and to the school system of this county that the best teachers be employed; and if they are seenred, it mnst be done at an early date. The habit iu some 'it quarters of waiting until a few weeks before school opens to hunt up a teacher shocld be broken off at once. FOR THE LEGISLATURE.

J LECK LYONS 1 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 ing it—what slips through the earners 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 with us. One dollar will open your bank account.
