Keep tab,* voter, on their promises. Colleton C'ouury has had several years of prosperity and good prices. Can she afford one year of adversity urod bad prices? We think so.

The Press and Standard which has been ably conducted for several years at Walterboro by Mr J. E. Peurifoy has been sold by him to Mr W. W. Smoak, who will edit the paper in the future. Mr Smoak has a fine example to go by in the work of Mr Peurifoy.—Green wood Index. The Spartanburg Journal issued last Thursday an industrial edition, which we cannot too warmly praise. The edition oontains 21 pages and is filled with interesting reading matter, illns- ° » trative cuts and catchy advertisements. The entire work was done in The Journal office and speaks well for the ability and energy of The Journal force. » ' » Our sister county, Dorcheeter, or should we say “baby” county, contains many freaks. In addition to the w»an who cannot be arrested, it is reported that a negro over one hundred years old was placed in jail some days ago. He eays he likes to go to the penitentiary. Who says the sheriff of Dorchester Oounty is not a brave officer? The editor of the Gaffney Ledger drops Into poetry occasionally.

A petition is being pat in circulation OTkiag the town oonficil of Ninety Si to order an election for the purpoee < bonding the town for$20,00& to be need in potting in electric lights, watoT works end street improvements. Hurrah for Ninety Six! She's com ing. Just be steady, 'and everybody 4g* this petition, and let's tern on tfa light aud thy water. The immediate enhancement of ail town property will more than reiimburee u« for the small additional tax that will be incurred. Then we shall have a town of which we will be proud. A clean town, a bright town, a cool town with electric fans. ^ town to which we will be proud to in vite oup friends, and one that we can well afford to advertise to the world. A town that will attract the capitalist and entice the stranger. ‘ A town that will “lengthen its cords and strengthen its “stakes” and at length become a city.—Ninety Six Star. It would be refreshing for Summer ville to have one honest and quiet elec- <3> tion, say once in a decade We might A lend that precinct a set of managers to hold their elections if the mayor of the town would guarantee their return iu good condition. DO YOU WANT AN IMMIGRANT SERVANT? One of our citizens desiring to aid in relieving the servant problem by the introduction of some of Commissioner Watson’s German immigrants wrote the bureau at Colnmbia iu reference to securing some for himself and other house-keepers who would like to obtain good servants. All those who woald like to employ one of these immigrants can address: “Immigrant,” care The Press and Standard. Below is the letter from the clerk of the department: Dear Sir; Yonr letter of September 5 has been received > In reply thereto I will be glad if yon can inform me just what people you want and bow many <r‘ your neighbors will be able to take. We wish to keep a list of parties desir ing immigrants and hope to locate at onoe all those who come. I should be glad to send several servants to yon because I think yon would understand betterbow to manage them. I am sure Commissiouer Watson would appreciate your very kind letter and will be glad to do anything in his power to assist you. Very truly yours, B. B.

The Soothern Cotton Association which has been in session at Hot Springs, Ark., passed a resolution last Fjiday fixing the minimum price of cotton at 10 cents a pound. Quoting the resolotiou: “We therefore suggest and urge upon all our members aud producers through out the South not to sell their cotton at a figure less than the cost of production. “We call upon all Soothern interests to aid in maintaining for all time this price as a minimum. We urge the ne cessity of marketing the crop slowly and only on advancing market and withdraw all cottou from the market at decline." A'heavy fight is going to be mode to beat down aud keep down this price. We hope, however, the association will ba successful, and that no cotton will be sold for less than teu cents a pound. The cottou speculator knows that the great bulk of the cotton crop in the Southern States is pledged as security for money borrowed from banks or for goods bought from merchants, and that most of these liens are due the first of October. For this reason he will try to keep the price down till after that date. If not a bale of cotton were placedgon the market till that date the farmer would get his price. We weald arge, therefore, that Colle ton’s farmers do not sell their cotton onajow or declining market. Yon are a part of the army of cotton producers. It is yonr labor that made yonr cotton. You should get the cost, at least, of its prodnetion. Go to your banker or merchant and see if he will not agree for you to wait a few days. Place your cotton in a warehouse, if necessary, and give'your creditor the warehouse receipt. Be straight with him, and we aro sure he will aid yon becanse it is his fight as well as yours. Oh, that the South had enongh ware houses to store every bale of her cotton! Ootton would then be king indeed, and reign. ., Farmers, hold yonr cotton! CORRESPONDENTS. We believe The Press and Standard has as taithful a set of correspondents as any weekly newspaper in the State, though some of them are a little indif ferent at times, We desire to make this paper the most interesting oounty paper in the State, and in order to do this we most have news every week from every section of the county. We ran across the following card of in structions among some papers, and it seems to at so good we desire to re produce it and woald ask onr corres pondents to clip it and paste it on their desks in a conspicuous place, and familiarize themselves with it: Write every week.

Alteration Sale *' '* ■ Reduced Prices *- On All Lines * ‘ -m We Must Close Out As Many Goods as Possible To Make Room for Important Alterations. The headlines tell the story in a nutshell. As you may have heard we have planned a thorough remodeling of this store. We are going to make it over into the best equipped and hand somest business establishment in town. For the *. next three or tour weeks carpenters will be busy renovating and remodeling the intire front and • interior of store. And we want to get the goods out of their way just as much as we can.

So, to avoid all the trouble we can, we are going to let you have almost anything you want from this stock at a price that will make it pay you well to buy it now. In this “Remodeling Sale,” we shall put greatly reduced prices on everything Mens Clothing, Boys Clothing, Shoes, Hats, Underwear,*Shirts and everything else the store contains.

The splen did growth of our trade for the past two or three seasons has been the direct inspiration which has set us at work transforming the store into a hand some, up-to-date place of business. Both the appearance and the convenience of the store will be vastly enhanced. The fittings and general arrangements will be attractive in the highest degred: while the stock will be dis played to much better advantage and the con venience of shoppers will be in all ways greatly facilitated. a «• IT’S - I REMEMBER Its free.
