Voters of Colleton county; When you cast your votes in August let them be only for men who are pro hibitionists from Sheriff to Magis trate. The enforcement of a prohibition law will be in the hands of the officers you elect, so see to it that fearless prohibitionists are elected. J. D. A ON PROHIBITION. t- i Cottageville, June 1.—The prohi bition movement has reached the stage in its History that will be sure tO bring results. The conscience of our American people is now aroused, and has reached the pulpit, the gently, to do this, we should be educated by agitation, we should have the right kind of leadership;our leaders should lx* men of ability and morality, in order to represent our intelligent people. We have the material. In Colleton county we have with us the Press, with its powerful influence and pastors of the different churches to lay the axe at the root of the tree of this mons ter evil. Also the pdliticians who now look for the only hope of suc cess, will stump the county, and one of the main issues discussed will be prohibition. National politics are pointing to prohibition. The possibilities of electing a prohibition president in the near future, is bright. We see this powerful wave that is sweeping one state after another. Our peo ple of both parties are getting sick of so much bossism and will be ready to join hands with the young lif® of our county for their political ad vancement. Fine opportunity for young life in politics. J. D. Ackerman. Huffman. Bertie Cone, Belle Cone, Ali£e Hiott, Della There were thirteen dispensary ; Langdale and Pearl Beach.. These cases before the court at the March young ladies have been teaching in the county during the past session, and have entered into the work of the Institute with a marked degree of earnestness. Prof. L. S. Betty and Miss Carrie Aeekiey are the teach ers in charge. The principal is in receipt of a let ter from 0. B. Martin. State Super intendent of Education, informing him that on Monday, June 8, Miss Maggie M. Garlington of Columbia, will arrive in Walterboro to give a course in Augsburg’s drawing in the Institute. This course will no doubt be of great benefit to the teachers, and it i * thought that this announce ment will cause a much larger at tendance next week. The negro Institute is being con ducted by J.

Stakes, May 30.—Editor of The Press add Stndard; Solicitor Jervey, and Foremen of the Grand Jury, Polk, have ha^ their say concerning the of the Dhpeneery ense ln the county, and I tktok.lt it hew in order lor me to tell the public, what I know about k.

The Picnic was largely attended from Colleton and Bamberg coun ties, there were about 6 or 7 hundred people who enjoyed the day on the beautiful grounds around Berea church and school house. The day Indeed for a the caae was discontinued. Of the others, one was nol-prossed on request °f the chief constable. Three were continued because of the illness of Mr J. G. Padgett defendants’ attorney One was continued on motion of Messrs Peurifoy Bros., defendants, attorneys, and the other seven vere held ready for trial at that term. Mr Folk is; perhaps, unaware of the fact that lor the past year the docket of the court of sessisons Col leton county has been greatly con gested. in Marcn 1907, by no fault of mine, there w«s no sessions held. In July, we went into the second week before the jail was delivered, when, because of the very hot weather, the court was adjournedi •gainst my objection. At the fall term, Judge Gage having limited the term to r wo weeks, i was, by action of the bar, confined to one week for jail delivery. This was hardly ac complished, and a large number of important criminal cases were con tinued to the March term. Among them the only dispensary case was that referred to above against Lad- son. The others, which were under control of Mr Beach, originated at the March term, and were fixed for trial as soon as the jail could be de livered, As soon as this was accomplished, I notified Mr Beach it as 1 would, probably not have turn to try than ana or two. to aalect his to pvoeaad with.
