Now is tne time to sow oats.
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in town have been repealed.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.

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*

solutions and articles referring to

fised in our issue of the 16th inst.,

tison of the judges is in tyvor of
