The Reaper visited W alter boro on last Wednesday (July II, 190tf), and hurried to the tomb Mrp Amelia T* Shatter, wile of Capt A C Shaffer, and Qiother of Mr E T H Shaffer, the senior and junior members of the firm of Terry & Shaffer. “0, not in cruelty, not in wrath, The Reaper came that day; ’Twas an angel visited the green earth, And took the flovers away.” Mrs Shatter was born in Brooklyn, educated at Elmira College, N Y and was married at W’alterboro, S C, by Kev James B Jiunwoody in LS75. She was a women ofgreat culture and refinement, and was exceedingly fond of books, music, poetry and art, A devoted wife, a fond mother, a dutiful daughter ana a loving sister. Her fi feuds were many, wherever she was known, and they seemed bound to her “oy. hooks of •ted.” And no wonder in this, she sympathized so deeply with all who were in trouble, tier love for her church aed church work was great indeed; and the last time the struck the chords of her Piano—was to close in song the ex- eicises of its Missionary Society. Much of her time was given to in- ■crease the interest of the local chapter of the King’s Daughters; and con- apicnous amid the many beautiful •floral offerings on her grave, beneath •the spreading oak at our Cemetery, was a lovely one from that’ Circle, showing the love of her fellow work ers for her, the MalteeseCross, with the motto “In His Name” and the *• •white and purple ribbon. The funeral cervices were held by the fiev A L Patterson of Blackshear Ga., her for mer pastor and friend, assisted by Dr Guerry of the Episcopal Church. And now alas she is gone from earth! ^Fading is stamped on all below!” “Not now, but in the coming years, It may be in the better land. We’ll read the meaning of our tears, And there, sometime, we’ll under stand.” Always beautiful in mien, sue never looked more so than when she lay in the repose of death. <( 6&ze on that form. Nay, lift thine eye, And gaze above. She is not here; She hath arisen to worlds on high, And dwelleth in a purer sphere. This frame of dust she hath laid down To gain a robe of light and a celestial crown.” , \ ‘ The veH has dropped, Her inward eye * Has seen the mysteries of God; And onward through the star-paved sky Mid Heaven’s bright glory she has trod: ‘Angels are guiding her along, While her sweet voice unites in their triumpal song.” A Friend. Letter From T. ti. Caldwsll Editor Press and Standard.: As the )K>litical pot has commenced sim mering 1 think it premature, them being issues in this campaign that are of vital importance, viz: The whiskey traffic, which is divided into three separate and distinct issues. 1. Local option and high license. 2. Prohibition. 3. The dw}»eiis?»ry. And there b.ing voters that favor each of the issues, and Mr Editor why I claim the political pot com menced simmering premature because there being three separate and dis tinct issues and one branch of the legislature there . are but two aspi rants aud neither of the two can ride two horses or two issues at the same time and if they should be high .license, local option, prohibition or dispensary, would it not be well for the aspirants to come out in The Press and {Standard and let the oiti zens of the connty know where they stand? It being the duty of all voters to oast their ballot as they think in their own judgment to their interest and welfrre of their country. How can the voters exercise that privilege when they have hot two aspfrauts and three a imue6? 1 do not chink that it will be right to scratch the entire office off, neither do I think it right for a voter to vote for a can didate whose views are opposite to his. Now Mr Editor, I will be glad for you to give us some light and a remedy for those issues that.comes up in our campaigns. 1 always think that the quicker they can be ad justed aud permanently settled, once for all times, would be the beet All those frictions and diversities of t opifion has a tendency to clog the wheels of prosperity. 1 regret very much these issues ooming up, for we as a people of Colleton county, and the State at large, are on the road to prosperity and 1 am glad to say that old South Carolina has not a rival in the union. When we are doing well, 1 believe in the old adage, let worse alone. Yours respectfully, T. H. Caldwell. Lodge, S. <Y July 6,190G. 0 w. WAY AT HKIOSTON, CIA.

A Card. As it is nearly time to csflt votes for trustees, I will not put fff longer to write, but now give my j^amised letter, lotting von know who we all wish to be our trustee from Meggett. I heard a preat m«»ny express their wish at the Masonic picnic and all named the same, and that was Dr T G Kershaw. 4 He is a man of energy and takes interest in the welfare of snch matters, and he is a man oi stern justice, therefore will do what is just and right IVe would also like either L C - Behling or D A Sauls as a trustee, as they are able men and well fitted to take inch position and see impartially what is fair Tor all. Of course, there are other men who would do the square thing by all the schools eqnally. 1 will close and trust to luck that our chosen ones will be elected. * Patron. Writes Interesting Letter of Condi tions In Georgia. Editor Press and Standard—Al though 1 am a good ways off I must write to your paper. I am sitting now qu a hill where I can over look the town of lliggtton. It is sar- rounded by beautiful farming lands. All Georgians are proud of their state, claiming that it is Ihe banner state of the t^outh. Of course, some of us may differ with them in some ways, yet there is no doubt but that Georgia is a grand old state. 1 find-the farmers out here down in the mouth like they are in South Carolina. It is the general opinion that not more than a hall crop can be made in the state. Yvhen 1 came oyer in Georgia i didn’t expect to find politics as hot as they are in South Carolina, but they can beat ns two in the game, es pecially in the raoft for governor, though the people are getting some what tired now. Tbe race seems to be between Hoke Smith and Clark Howelj. The other candidates are mere figure heads in the raoe. It is pretty generally conceded that Smith will be elected over all the other can didates at the first primary. Y’et 1 have heard lots of men say that there are • better.; men in the race than Smith or HowelL Smith and Howell seen! to have the rigfat-ol-way and will tight to a finish. Now Mr Editor, I will devote the rest of my letter to wfcft 1 think of vital importance to Collel'n county. 1 ask that you have published j n your paper for the information of everybody, at your earliest 'ton- venience, the Act passed at* the Wt-H sitting of tbe legislature in regard to the general stock law. I think the people should be well informed on this and all other questions before they cast their vote.
