J — : ‘ - --7.r Y“rt; r r ,i We move. >ve do, that ili U all a mfetakc-thed* hard times. Why oar legislature has just finished appropr<»t'nf one and one-quarter million dollars! 5 1-2 mills. Be it said to their credit that the Colleton delegation did all they could against the heavy appropria- tioaa. Do not blame them, voter, for the 6 1-2 mills levy. We desire to inform an anxious and waiting public that we did get the “New subscriber” who desired “this day Feb. 6 196 to Subscribe” —he paid in advtnce too. That man from Bells Township who reads every advertisement in The Press and Standard every week, will find some good bargains in this weeks paper. details of tht marfcet report, both local or foreign, should be printed others still wonder why some oh* scure quarrs! which appeared late at night |n the lower end of the city was not reported, whtyi a few would everlastingly criticise every politic official in the city eveiy day. Them different claims could be piuperly educated into the news paper farinew in a f^K years but the chances are that Otey never willj bd, for the reason thex they are so suit they ere right that nobody any chance can set them right. $ • The function of a newspaper is fo print ti e news—all thofnews. A newspaper must print the meet im-1 portant happenings in all depart ments of news and £his makes it impossible to go into minute details in any particular department. But above all things a newspaper must not be personal. It is necessary sometimes to criticise the conduct of individuals and men in office, but when this is done it is not because the newspaper or some employe of the newspaper has a persoral grudge at the person thuscritised. It is be cause this critcism is in the best of interests of the community, and any newspaper which thus criticises merely to satisfy a personal grudge will soon go out of business. The function of the public prsss is as sacred as the functions of the courts and in most cases the managers and editors of newspapers keep this fact in view all the time. Fairness, justice and truth are three things which the journalist strive for.— Peoria Herald Transcript.

Aamrdiiig to a recent act of the Legislature Colleton it to have two /Moadhounds named—well that doesn’t matter. No more escapes from the chain-gang or the jail after they arrive -«o much depends on dogs these days. Seriously, though, it is a good thing to have these dogs and we have advocated their purchase.

The bill abolishing the department of agriculture, commerce and im migration has passed the house of representatives. It is expected to die in the senate—as it should. Doubtless the men that engineered the iconoclastic measure through the hewse are gMefuIt, but so was theisllow whm'he egt off the head of thegoofeth^t lai««olden egge- until Us blunder wnidieeovered. It is eoawwhat^Sarib&M tiit the fight agUpet tMs department win lad by Mr. Smidk of Oolletoa, If there M a county in the State that aaada men and money for development, and that will never do anything without men and money from without, it is Colleton. There are in Colleton some thoueands of unproductive negroes, there are tent of thousands of acree of fertile but unproductive lands, there are about 500 square miles that are. and will remain, as they were 100 years ago until a railroad brings them in touch with the markets. The development of the trucking industry in the lower belt of Colleton is either by persons not natives of that county, or else by those natives who have profited by the example of the immigrants to South Caaolina that began with nothing on Younge’s Island, and have made fortunes. The greater part of the county is unprogessive agriculturally. The swamp will never be drained, and the scourge of malaria removed un til white people go in and occupy the land. It is complained that the depart ment has not shown results. Owners of somethin to ssUsoanethuoi plan to vend IMMOO on wfivartM* bo- fore getting a dollar In ed resources and the invitation .such knowledge extends to industry, we believe it a mistake to kill the department of agriculture, com merce and immigration. Of course we desire only a good class of immigrants—home builders and home lovers. The department has made mistakes—who has not?— but these mistakes are worth much to it now, and it is safe to say they are not going to be made again. The fact remains as The State says, we have vast areas that need developing, and f Chey will not be' developed fay our native whites or negroes- Sad to my both races in Colleton are as a^whole deficient in aggressive productiveness—the ne- gr oee markedly so. Where then are these developing agendas to come form? If not from within then they must come from without. To swait their coming in the natural course of events will be very slow and Colleton will lag in the march of progress. So we need a stimulus South Carolina does—Colleton does, and this department supplies such a stimulus. If not. then uhat has Mr Smith to offer as a substitute? Another Convict Escaped. About four weeks at Sniders Albert Washington escaped trom th chain gang. I' appears that the gang was divided and guard Padgett was the only one on duty at the time, and while he was with one part of the 'gang Washington walked off from the other Washington was tried at the Summer term of court last year for highway robbery and laroeny and found guilty He was resentenotd to fi\e years on the chain gang Jnly l 1907 thus serving only shoot six momhs at the time of bis escape He was Indicted with Willis Mil ler but Miller has so far elnded the au thorities.
