Whatever has Income of 4 'More Anon?” WANTED-A correspondent at Youngs Island and Meggetts. No. Anxious Inquirer, the dispen sary does not advertise, but it "gets Ahere just the same.” "Pinkey” be must very buay with his ditching. We trust he has not migrated—but, perhaps he is dig ging himself a well? We presume the ordinances against cows running at large and shooting in town have been repealed. Both are violated, and we hear of no efforts at enforcement, Why? • _____ We desire to call the attention of the town authorities to the open and flagrant violation of all law against se lling on Sunday in town by two or three small shops. We also hear it rumoured that it is an easy matter to get liquor at these places. i If true, these matters should be looked into ami a stop put to such violation. If the larger stores re- m&in closed, so should these shops, and back door wiling prohibited. Then the solution offered by Miss • *• *— of Ashton would have won. This is indeed a very fine article, and adds emphasis to that of the winner. If W’alterboro had a new and modern school building, then all these things could be said of the town, but as it is only such terms as used by Master Penning- * ton can be used. y As a business proposition, Walter boro canocfj longer afford to have the county laughing at her dilapi dated school building. We await with interest the new schsol move ment. Who shall begin it? What say you Professor Betty and Misses Assistants? Do you believe there is a man in town who would refuse to sign a petition presented by Pro fessor Betty and any one or two of the assistant teachers? Will you, too, fold your hands? We do not think so. Now is the time for ac tion. Then act! * CHURCH ATTENDANCE. The Press and Banner, we believe it was. recently stated the number of persons, attending church in Ab beville on a certain Sunday they say Sabbath up there-was very small compared with the population to publish the results. 137 white persons at church. If the negro churches ware as well attend-; ed. there were 274 Persons at church in Walterboro Sunday, or only 13 per cent of the population of the town. » » • ’ # Now, it is either profitable or un profitable to attend church—it either does good or not. If it is profitable then only a small percentage of our people receive the benefits derived from the services, and then prob- bly not the ones who most need help spiritually These figures speak for them selves. Had the other churches been open, there is a probability that there would have been a few more persons at them, but the large (?) congregations at the two churches open were made up partly from the I membership of the other churches. Only 13 per cent! From whit we have been able to gather, those who planted corn in Colleton county, this year on the Williamson plan are very well oleased. It has been so markedly successful that we feel safe in pre dicting that It will be the plan used almost entirely next year. In the spring we published the names of many of those who experimented this year. We should now be glad Walterboro’s Big Day FARMING PAYS A young man, told us the other * day that since he had been farming for himself he had made a net profit from his farm one horse-of forty dollars per month. This means a net profit of nearly $500 per year. and yet some young men leave the farm and accept clerkships in town stores at $25 per month. Dont do • .It young man, Study the science of fanning and stay on the farm where you can be independent. Raise corn: cotton, oats, hogs, cows, chickens and manhood, and you fan 'make as much of these in Colleton ap in any county in the state. —7 * it,has been whispered around that :a movement may be inaugurated -with a view to erecting a building, part of w hich could be used as a hall for entertainments of various kinds. We trust thi§ shall materialize, as we need such a hall very badly. It would seem that a brick building three stories high, the first floor a store or stores, the second a hall and the third for use of our secret so cieties, could l>e constructed in such .a manner and at such a cost as would make it a good investment. t Anyway, we would like to see such a building, and we would hail the builders as benefactors* r THE PUZZLE SOLVED * »/Tf the well equals zero, what ■vrill the new school equal?” Of the solutions and articles referring to ID the puzzle of “Hoptwice,” as pub- fised in our issue of the 16th inst., it was hard to decide between the £wr> published this week.
