The following comments on the
work of The Press and Standard are
very much appreciated, we fear, not
merited:

ard will be. one of the strongest
weeklies in the State. I have been
keeping track of some of the sug
gestions you have made (in refer
ence to Walterboro) and cannot for
the life of me see why some if not
all of them are not adopted. Keep
at it you will win in the end. No
man who takes the first step in any
public enterprise is accorded serious
attention at first. It is the eternal
stick activeness that accomplishes
the most. I wish you had someone
there # * * to stand up with
Then you could accomplish miracles
almost. That suggestions about a
commercial club to boost the town
ia a dandy. There is no reason why
that town should not become just as
much a tourist resort as Summer
ville. It has the exact same climate
and if the temperature for the two
places were compared, I think you
would find them about the same,
but now no one outside knows any
thing about the town, and never
will if it ia not advertised* and that
would be about the very first thing
for the dub to do. And then just
look what a concentrated kick to the
railroad commission would do about
ihis latest outrage of potting on a
train! You are dead right in your
policy. I wish I had a chance to
help you in the fight**
So does the editor, and the above

but simply that we may let the town

not hush up some outrageous con
duct. Of course the “conduct** does
not injure the town—only the pub

that there is leas of it, and we are
going to continue till we drive out
this lawless and disgracing element
—if publicity will do it, and we be
lieve it will help. If we had the
proper support from the tosh it
would, but unfortunately there is
much indifference. However, we
are optimistic. Walterboro has
