Pabllibed every Wedneediy. ~ WEDNESDAY, NOV. 20, 1907 THE WELL. For the benefit of "Pinkey” and other inquiring friendsi we will say that the well is getting on. Mr. Hughes is now engaged in making the hole larger so that it will not be neceasaay to reduce it to such small dimensions when deeper. It is n»w » 070 feet deep but a considerable part of the last hundred feet'is filled with sand. This, however, will be washed out as soon as the larger casing is carried down. Mr. Hughes under- stnds his work and think there is no doubt of his getting a* flow if one is to be had. It costs $2.75 a foot now, causeway repaired, while the con tract has been let for a new main bridge. The bridges and cause a ays over Lemon Swamp at the Ehrhardt and new road crossings have also been put in nice condition.

The time for payment expired Not. 1st, and we respectfully rise to ask why the law is not enforced? What is law for one should be law for all, and as long as any law is un repealed it should be strictly en forced without fear or favor. We shall await with interest the action by our Intendant. If laws are not enforced people will lose their respect for all law. GOOD LOGIC. The Columbia State sometimes says some good things. This is par ticularly good: “We invite the intelligent public to take notice of a significant fact. When, in the interest of truth and reason, a newspaper directs atten- « lion to the mis-statements or egregious blunders of some de magogue who is attempting to tickle the ears of ignorance, that demagogue retorts, not by an hon est effort to establish the truth of his teachings, but by questioning the sincerity of the paper, or making personal I flings against the editor. If a public man, who essays to be a teacher, can not defend his teach ings, can*not make an argument to prove the truth of what he says, what can be thaught of either his , V w*- honesty or his intelligence?”- Ex. WHAT THE STATE FAIR MIGHT BE. The editor of the Walterboro Press and Standard, who was a visitor at the State fair week before last, re marks in the current issue of his paper that “one thing conspicuous for its absence was the lack of ex hibits from the low country.” Not, says l e; “because there was nothing to show, but, sad to relate, “there is not enough of progressiveness or some* hing in our people to cause them to think it worth while to go to the trouble of making an exhibit” He continued: Colleton county should have been represented by some exhibit of her great natural resources. Our truck ing industry should have had a place there; our corn and cotton growers should have shown the “dwellers on the hills” what our soil is capable of producing. Our live stock raisers should have had some of their horses mules, hogs, poultry, etc., there. Think what an' advertisement it would have been for the thousands of visitors to have gotten a glimpse of the wonderful possibilities of our soil and climate. about the coa t region of the State and an exhibit of the astonishing variety of things produced in that lower region would be a revelation to the majority of the persons that visit the fair; and, so, such an ex hibit would be of the greatest prac tical value to both sections of the State—to the Piedmonters, who would learn something to their ad vantage, and to the low-landers who would thus succeed in advertising their blessedness of soil and climate to the world, or at least to that con- siderablejportion of the world that comes to the state.—The State. 4> WHY NOT COLLETON TOO? The county chain gang, which has ■ecently been at work on the roads near town, has done some fine work on the various highways. The new bridge, Binnaker’s Charleston A Auensth, Cannons bridge: the Ehr hardt road and the new road to Little Saltkehatchie have all received, ai- Even so. There is not a doubt that Colleton county, in common with other low-country counties, could fcave presented an exhibit of its products that would have been instructive and surprising to “the thousands of visitors” present at the fair. The soil of the low country is among the most fertile in the world, and the variety of the crops grown there, or possible of being grown there, is almost illimi table. So there are in certain parts of the low-country as ^excellent examples of intelligent and progressive farming as may be Jound in the South. There are cotton farms producing their bale to the acre, with a minimum of fertilizer. There are rice plantations that produce the finest quality of rice in the world. There are truck fields that yearly produce thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of the finest vege tables in the land. There is the largest cabbage field in the world as well as the largest pecan grove in the world. Nor are there lacking in this low-country section ° of the State manufacturing enterprises of pith and moment. Charleston has a number of manufacturies of interest from rice milling and cigar making to oyster canning and bag .making.
