We cannot help thinking that tome of theae days somebody is going to pot a aeat fence around the conrt house aqua re. To whom ehall we give the eredit? Next. ' Senator Tillman, it is said, will make 125,000 lecturing daring the reoeas be tween the sections of congress. Won der how mnch Mrs Tillman has made toctoring during his recece? The farmers are all wearing a broad grin now at the price of cotton. We are neither a prophet not yet the ton of ene bat didn't we tell yon not to tell for lees than ten cents? We feel very mnch like saying to thoae who sold, “We told you so.” An offieer who has not a proper re gard for his duties, or the manhood to enforce the law, brings shame to an entire county. Look at our sister coan- ty. Every one is crying, "For shame’ at her on account of the cowardice of her sheritt. We would ask Colleton's efticials to consider well what their duties are and then to perform them with justice and impartiality. If you ttad, Sir Office Holder, that you cannot fill your office, for the sake of decency \ and out of regard for your county, L Design and let some one else try. ■ STOCK LAW. W Last week we published a call from the county supervisor ordering an elec tion to be held on the 6th of November, to decide whether or not Colleton coun ty shall continue to be exempted from the operations of the general stock law. This is an important question and should be viewed by every voter in a broad manner, and he should consider well all pres and cons before casting his ballot. Oy * ■ ' Do you believe the greatest good to <, fh® greatest number will result from continhing the exemption. If not, then vote against it. What we desire •specially to impress on the voter is that he shall pat himself in the background and vote as he believes will result in the greatest good to the greatest number. | - ■ * • ’ We offer tbs columns ct The Press and Standard for a cool discussion of , this important question.

Who are doing the most business in Walterboro? In Colleton county? Is It - * oris not ths men who do the moet * advertising? Hsnoe, gentlemen, we are glad yon are making Waltar boro a cotton market, because it advertises the town and brings business. HOW CAN WE GET PROHIBITION? We have been treated daring the re ; cent campaign to page upon page of discussions of ths Dispensary, pro and con. This we consider unfortunate. tunate. i<nty to THE LAW. , Justice in ftrath Carolina, represented by the judges of tb*tapreme and circuit conrt sitting en banc, get a hearing when a convicted and condemned assass in, a man known by every other man to be a murderer was refused a new trial. The plea for the murderer had on basis in reason or jnstioe. Is it now ■« time for all our judges to brush away ths cobwebs of palpable justice-defeat ing devices and tirivial technicalities? There is a duty to society that is cer tainly as pressing as the dnty to an in- dividual, Justice to the defendant must not be oarried to the extreme of injustioe to the people. And what is tree of ths courts is equally true of the pardoning power. If outrage is infl icted to an exueut where a man guilty of a horrible mnrder escapes with a sentence of life imprisonment, that man should be imprisoned for life. The softening influences of time cannot ob literate the fact of hisgnilt of an offense for which he should have been hanged. Neither pleas of lawyers nor easily unearthed "after-discovered evidence” o p f can change the sworn testimony or the horrible facts.-—The Stats. GIVE US NEWS.

WALTERBORO A COTTON {1ARKET We do not know.of any cotton mar- ket in the lower pert of the state pay ing more for cotton than is Walterboro jnst now, thanks to the progressive spirit of some of onr leading merchants. Ws are very glad to sea this spirit, for only by each is a growth attained. If a merchant loses a little in the price he pays for avbsle of cotton, he will make it back either in the goods he sella or in the goods ha has sold. Business will ba good and continue good if ths business men of the town will bestir themselves. I o Urn up-to-date methods. Put yourself your all, into the business you ars do ing. It ia an immutable law, we do not know if it is written by the Medes and Persians, it ought to be, that one gets out of life a fair return for what he » ♦ puts in it. Use plenty of printers Ink; Let the trade know you are doing bust- noes; tell people where to find yon and what you are doing there. Advertise, Adiertine, Advertise. Wedo not my this togetyoutoadvertisstnour paper, if you do not think it ia the best medium. Ory your wares in any way yon ptoses, but ory them in some way. There is, to ocr mind, no more pethetio sight than to ■at a man—doing bariums not a busi ness man, miud you—but a man doing burinees, any kind of business, rit down and do nothing to draw trade and then ry hard times. Put a few hundred dollars worth of goods in a store house and such a man behind the counter to sell them, and nine out of ten such merchants, will go into bankruptcy, or lorn what they have invested. We are not hitting at anyone, we are simply telling the truth. Isn’t it so? Answer for yourself. The ame thing Is trae of your town or oounty. It to true of anyplace, mo tion or condition. If yon don't believe and tMnk of tee men a snooementof terir When we magnify rnd give publicity crimes and to means for committing « ' • V . crimes, we cause more crimes to be committed. "Hov oft the sight of means to do ill dc&ds Makes ill deeds done " Legislating temperance is not having temperance. Legislating prohibition is not having prohibition. • To have a sober, temperate, Intelligent, industrious manhood and womanhood is the highest ideal a state can have. To have this, a foundation mast be made in the yonng life, of the 1 ’Tiny Times”they most start right and grow np right. The home in- flnenoes must be right. The young life must have proper examples to follow. How fortunate the boy or.girl who can say: "I have never felt the blush of shame for a single act of my father or mother.’ 1 That boy, mark this, will be a good citizen, and a good father, Bnt when a boy is brought np in ig norance, and has seen before him daily the example of a drunken, profligate father, no matter how mnch the fires of ambition are kindling, the chances are that nine ont of ten of these fires will be extinguished, and the boy will be the same as his father has been. Hence we have come to the conclusion that all this legislating about whiskey is ageless and wort.hless.In onr opinion the place to begin with legislation,is with the specific crime of drunkenness. Make it a crime to get drunk—and it is whether the law says so or not. Let the drunkard pay the penalty himself for his crime, and make it sure to follow, and no license under heaven would make a bar-room or a dispensary dangerous to a comma- ty. If the man who gets drank at his home or abroad whether he doea any act against the peace of the community or not, were imprisoned, fined, branded or what not and this punishment were made sure to follow uo matter what the walk of life his happens to be, there would be fewer drinks and drunkards. If a man persisted in getting drank shot him np in jail till ha can over come his taste for drink. He conld do it too in as short a time aa any Keetoy In stitute in the country conld care him. Instead of raisin^contribations to send a drunkard to Keely simply place him where he conld not get whiskey. He would then become sober. Make him feel the disgrace, and when given a new chanoe, we believe he would come as near making himself as any Keeley cured man conld make. General laws unless they can be ap plied to specific cases are worth little aa regulators of society. We want, not a general prohibition tow but a law. to prohibit individuals from getting drank. When that law ia paired and proparly enforced we will have prohibition and not till then. After Saturday of THIS WEEK the $5.00 Cash Distribution will be dis continued. . s Ctl ler t Ug Cl.
