The dupenaarr here hold, we are iinformed, $400.00 worth of liquor Saturday. The fatalities ao far aa we can lean, up to now are one negro dead and one fatally wounded. The .Aral shooting oocured on Main utieet about dark. Saturday night Griashaw Hudson, familiarly known as “Old Grim," was shot, the hall entering tear his right eye rang* tag upward, lodging somewhere in his hand. He is not expected to Her He etahns that be was shot by John Tusker a young white man about twenty years of age, wtm is an oper ative at the Cotton mill. Tucker denies having dona the aborning. Than seems to bt litttio reliable test! mouy to far adduced, but enough to cause Magistrat Bryan to eswmit Tucker to jail Bundav. Measra J 8 Phigftt and J M Walker have been retained aa oonn- ael for Tucker. The other ahooting oocured obout tan o’clock at night at the home of Paul Gilliard, fireman at Savagea Saw Mill It seems that Saturday night Gilliard went home aomeweat under the influence of whiskey and began beating his thirteen year old •on, Henry. Gilliard’s wifa, Fanny, tried to protect the boy when her husband enraged knocked her down and began beating her. The boy ran into the bed room and got his little thirty two Calibre Boll dog pistol and returning shot his father, the ball entering his right side and p.'retrat- ing a vital organ. Gilliard was taken to Dr. Es’Dorn’s office, where Pit Es’Dorn, W. B. Ackerman and Stokes made an effort to locate the ball Gilliard lingered till Sunday night when he died. The boy was arrested by Policeman Hickman and is now in jail. The Coroners jury held an inquest over the dead body Mon day morning and came to a verdict, in accordance wth the above facta. It aeema that all the principals in '-the above affaire, except the boy and hie] motoer, were under the influence of liqnop. For the Boys. October is here sod three- quarters of the year has vamoozed down the plug hole of time. ' Honestly try and make some kind of a record for yourself be fore the year passes fpreverr. Be fore you can realize it the year will be gone, and at least half of you are going to waste it. Here are a few ways boys can ' improve yooselves. Gut out Ci garette smoking, it weakens your heart, ruins your nervous system, makes you physical and moral degenerates and pots you iu a graveyard to fertilise grass and make a fiee lunch tor worms. If you must •moke get a pipe and smoke only in erenings. Out out cigars. You can’t afford good cigars and cheap cigars are only . stink sticks and an abomination. Cut out ‘‘cursing.” Nearly all American swearing is blasphemy. The name of the Deity is in nearly every oath. Gorsing is only a habit. Gentlemen do not curse, only blackguards, loafers, tramps, bums and other human ▼ermin turn their mouths into _ cesspools of filth and tanks of y blasphemy. You think its clever and nice you boys just springing into manhood to have a cigarette in your nrouth, an oath ou your lips, chewing tobacco, a pistol in your hip pocket and a couple of drinks of whiskey in your Stomach. You. feel you are a real booafide man, don’t you? You ate just waiting for soma, pretty girl to‘’come along and you think you’ll make some big iniI>reMion on her, don’t srou? You’ll blow that cigarette smoke in her face and get near enough to her to let her smell your breath, yon think you’re a real man, don’t you? When you get heeled up in this fashion you’re only a silly young jacksas, If you cootinue in the jack business you will never be a real man. It is the class that throws a dark pall of misery over the world; it is this class that breaks hearts, wrecks homes, makes angels ween, Heaven blush and hell busy. The sneers of the wicked will soon be lost in the praise of the upright and good, for your road goes up. As you go up you pass the sign poet—love, success and happiness, and at last you reach the highest peak, where you can beaf the angels songs and rest in peace forever. Now boys and girls, which road will yon follow? I hope yon will ■ay ths up road, for it is the only roed that leads to happiness, and there’s more fun on the upward road if yon know how to look for it. If the devil does give you what looks like a good time, there is poison at the bottom of it. Re member the old boyf is always dropping bis boqj^/in the world’s water and fishing for souls. The old gent is a clever fisherman and he baits his hook with all sorts of attractive things. Boys and girls look for the hook, for once you are caught it is hard to get loose and few ever do. Well, I hope this piece wil^ lift some poor wrecked boy and from this day lead a better life. Unclx Chablis. HocttoO, Oct. 2$k THE TRAITOR THE OBLIGATIONS OF LEADERSHIP. A careful study of the character and qualifications of many a man in vested with leadership will force the conclusion that in the ordinary distri bution of tasks there is many a mis fit and many a miscarriage of judg ment and common sence. In the leader, whether of few or many, the qualities usually emphasized, though not always demanded, are those which make for versatility, intellect ual and physical energy and force, executive ability, personal accepta bility and power of initiative and achievement. These should certain ly be demanded in any leader in de gree proportioned to the importance * of his position. But they are not the most important qualifications for leadership, There must be moral rectitude, a keen sense not only of the dignity of leadership, but of the moral responsibility which it in volves. The true leader must not only do but be. It is not sufficient for him to bring things to pass, but he owes It to himself and others to make the publicity of his pontion a cumulative influnce on the side of conscientious citizenship and righte ous living. Said Emerson in effect: "How can I hear what you suggest when what you are is constantly thundering the opposite in my ears. 4 We repeat, it is not sufficient that we select for places of trust and leadership efficient men. We should see to it that they are also men clean of lip and of life, men who realize that the obligation of leadership in clude influence of example as well as efficient service.—Southern Chris tian Advocate.* , / Won by Edgar Pennington—His Solution of Puzzle and Article Follows. Walterboro needs a new school building. If the Well Equal 0, What Will the New School Equal? Why We Need a New School Building and How to Get It. We need a new school building very much in our town, because the one we now have is a disgrace to the town, and even the children are getting disheartened. The rooms are in a very bad condition; the plaster ing is falling down; the desks are in a dilapidated condition; the pupils cannot write on them, and some of the pupils often catch colds from exposure. We certainly need a new school building. It will help to buildup the town. We want something that everybody will be proud of and not be ashamed to show. We have a new set of teachers, why not have a new school building? I believe if we had a new school building the pupils would learn more; they would be better satisfied. Now, don’t you think we ought to have a new school building? Cer tainly. It is only a question as to how to get that new school building, and that is easily answered, fax the citizens of the town and get it. I am certain every one would gladly pay the tax for a new and up-to- date school building. I think that is the best plan. Why don’t you citizens do it? The citizens send their children to school, so why not tax them and get a new school building? Don’t let Walter boro be the only town in South Carolina that hasn’t a good school house. I hope the citizens will do their best in this cause. We wha are in school can’t, because we are not old enough, but if you know how much we.want to do it. you would not wait till we are old enough. Edgar Pennington, Ninth Qrade Walterboro Graded School., October, 24, 1907. That, in itself, is sufficient to in spire men to donate their dollars and influence to the cause, thereby making “their seed as the sand of the sea in number." Ashton, October 22.

ML* ’S Solution and Article. "If the well—O! What will the new school building ?" The algebraic proposition is of such a peculiar nature that the re sult (?) would be thousand fold intemized. The following seven stand promi nent: First—Adornment. Everyone en joys the views neat, modernly equipped buildings. Only the pessi mist refuses to ride from far for a bird's eye view. Second—AdvertiaemenLOur cities, towns, villages and country locali ties are rated by their public build ings. First the church, then the school. Where lack of educational interest is manifested the influential will not raise their children. Third—Government in school is necessary. Order ia Heaven’s first law. Such is imposdble in a dilapi dated, small building. Fourth—Health and comfort stand prominent. The doctor’s Mila swell when the child teaves its comforta ble, carpeted, adorned, ventilated, etc., etc., home and enters a rickety building with a draft 4 of cold air pouring through a thousand crevices, to sit by a smoking stoke end on a bench devoid of comfort for six hour* per day. Fifth—In what better way can pride be educated than by utilizing the fundamental requirements? The building, the school, then the pride lb school and finally in self to keep in touch, not only in the home school, but equal or surpass the neighboring schools. Best of all to do right for right’s sake. . Sixth—Count the dollars by the thousands leaving Colleton county which are being spent in high school education- Why can not Walterboro have a high school? Seventh — Leave competition, adornment and every other consider ation but the true aim to educate. ^ev F O S Curtis will preach the Annual Sermon of the Women’s Missionasy Union, Auxiliary to the Colleton Baptist Association, at Black Creek Church on Saturday Nov 2nd at 11 O’clock A M Rep resentatives from Societies to the Union wiil p’ease attend promply The meeting will be one of great interest to the work.

New County Survey. Mr. L. N. B< llinger is home again after making the survey of the pro- jx>setl county with Branehville as the county seat. This county was to have been composed of portions of Orangeburg, Colleton and Dorches ter, but it now seems as if the pro ject is a dead issue. The survey ea^ tablished the fact that the line went too near the town of St. George, the county seat of Dorchester, and the (territory proposed to be taken in does not contain the number of square miles required by the consti tution for the formation of new . counties. It lacks about sixty square miles, and it is likely -that this ende the matter.—Bamberg Herald. Spark*’ Show Navaatbar 7 th.
