We are still awaiting a reply to our editorial of laat week, calling for ^a recital of what our Congressman, Hon. Geo. S. Legare has done for Colleton county since he has been elected. No one down here recalls anything. Speak up an’ ’ipress yourself. WANTED A BOOSTER CLUB. One thing our connty and town needs is proper boosting boosting in sescon and out of season by everyone. If the new council could pass a law requiring that all the little hammers used in knocking every public enter prise be broken, it would mean more for Walter boro than snything else of which we can think. Some of her cibxens are experts at knocking, who base never boilded any structure. Let some public spirited enterprise be started and tbe knockers fcet otfii tbeir little hammers and begin to peck tbe life out of it For goodm sake, if yon have nothing belter to offer, keep your hammer 1 iddeo. Join the booster's club. If you can not i ay anything nice about your town, ksep your month shut We are so tired of the remark “you can't do anything in Walterboro.” Besides being barmfnl to tbe town it is untrue. Some things are being done in town. More could be done we wiH adn it, if tbe little hammers were all broken, and eelfiehnese for gotten, bnt we are going forward. Stop knocking and begin to beoet. Root for Walterboro or get out. Pu* np or sbnt np. * SHALL WE BOND AND BUILD? Tbe question just now for Walter boro is whether or not a bond issne •hall be made for the purpose of building a modern school -house. This matter has been sgitated before a short while ego and about eighty names sigurd to a petition calling for a bond istne of $15,000 for the purpose of erecting a graded ccbool building. Prof. Hand in his address before tbe graded school here st its com men cement bsa revived the qoes tion and an effort is being |,made to secure the signatures lacking to call the election. It requires a majority of tbe free holders of the town to call an election, There are ?80 such. It will, therefore, require 141 signs* tuns. Two-thirds of these have been snonred, and tbs other one-third ghonld be easily obtained. A hall we bond and bnild? Do* oidedlj to, partially for tbs following 1. In no oUmt way <an wi a proper school beikUag. All tbe fends derived now Aesa taxation see needed ta ran tbs school, banco toy fends need for o bnikUng most be raised by a bobd issne, or not at all. t Is a bettor school bnildiog bended? Emphatically, yes! The present building is toe saudl and very poorly equipped. Tbe school is not doing its best work; and cannot in snob a building. It is in boo , jspnir, poorly fnnislied, badly nr ranged, an tytsoie aud disgrace to bettsr bnild $400,000. of taxable property. Inter est on $15,000 bomls at 5 per cent will be $750. per year. A 3 mill tax will yield $120<». which will pay the interest and create a sinking fund | m * that in a few vea'S will wipe out the debt Now let’s see how hard this will be on the average taxpayer who las. aay worth of property. A mill tax on this would be $3. ad ditional taxes he would have to |n»y each year, and what man is there iu town who would not be willing to |>ay that much for a modern school build ing? 4. What advantages would a mod erh brick building have over Vhe present on*' They are many. In the first place, more room to accommodate the increasing number of pupils. Better arrangement thus securing the maximum results from the teach eFs time. Ad increased interest iu education; a fostering of civic pride m the school by teacher, parent and pupil, and h.s is important. Sect ring a high school which will bring $t><H). per annum into the school fund direct, and, indirectly, keep our boys and girls at home one or two years longer before sending them to preparatory schools else where, and furnishing a center for education at the county seat A citizen of one of the progressive communities in the county told us last week that from his section nine- Uen boys and girls went off to Edge- field,*Bamberg, Orangeburg, Harts- ▼ille etc. to prepare for college, and that nearly everyone of them would have come to Walterboro if there had been a high school here! Think of what we are losing in this respect alone! again, from a less material point of view: The age boys and girls are in tbe graded school are the most im- pr? ms tenable in their lives. Tbrir surroundings have lots to do with the formation of their characterr. If they are taugnt in a ramahackel, tumble down sohool building will not tbeir characters be injured there by? What kind of buaiuess men will the boys make? What kind of borne keepers, the girls? 5. What shall be done with the old buliding? Hemove it to tbe negroes school lot, put it in good repair, making such changes in its architectural de sign as shall be deemed wise, and let them use it This will be lair and just. 6. Bow can this bond issue be carried? " By every free holder in town whose name is not on the petition signing it AT ONCE, and talking school, thinking sohool, working sohool till enthusiasm reach* • tbe bonding and bulding point / ?. Again, can we afford it? Tour property will increase in value! your town will grow in population and ipportanoe yon will be taking a forward step.

OBJECTIONS TO PROHIBITION On New Testament Grounds. 1 Can we afford n Youngs Island June 5th.—Editor of The Press and Standard. You o 0 have opened your oolumne to the people of Colleton, that ihey may express their views on an issue, now agitating onr county,and as some say, our nation. Though 1 am not a deep thinker, nor given to fine diction, nor conver sant in public affairs, I am self con ceited enough to desire to air my plow handle views on this subject with those of the college bred. And 1 flatter myself you are fair enough to open yonr columns to tbe poor and illiterate, as well as to the learned and great. ThaHoiqnity is on the increase, is evidenced by the great alarm raised against the liquor traffic by those who have volunteered to corn bet evil. A commendable vocation, and I for one, pray that God may speed them in their good work, so far as they adhere to oar Lord’s principles. When Christ was smitten in tbe face, by word of month or without, He could have destroyed every adver- sary in that unholy court (who was then eryiug for His UL) and entered the aeaUjOf the just, proclaimed His doctrine, Hie gospel as tbe infallible aws of tbe uorld, He did not want for foroe or revenue to enferfs Hie mandates through illu minated apace. Did He do it? No. Judging by what I glean from prohibition writers, there is not cue in onr land, or in the world, but would hare done it. Christ did not do it, because the misiion of His gospel was peace, uniiy and forbear ance toward men. As His immacos late wisdom, He knew that death, destruction of porperty and panaits of men, ooald not command that love ank respect due His Father and Himself; any more than it would f heathen king.

Any woman tliiuke she’s cepa bio of roformiug n man, but When i. comes to ro-forming horoolf oho employs a drool maker pie back faith, because simpletons suffer themselves w b • deceit? Does fire sin because it possesses destructive elements? Must it too, be eliminated because tbe foolish and negligent suffer it to escape control, and destroy thousands of lives and millions worth of property in the very face of its most oonrageoui com batants? Lo, where is sin? In tbe hearts of men. That corrupt, hardened and cankered part of men’s anatomy needed so ok thing more than men's prohibits, to soften and bring it in meek subjection to its creator, and that was to be sent to the chnrch after Christ entered His glories.. Christ departed. If he did any thig rash, destroyed any property invalidated any vocations, or forbid men from laboring, raising and en joying any fruits of tbeir toil, 1 oonfessfiguoranoe. It appears t j me, however, that I do remember he said to tome of his followers “Go, pr» at h the Gospel of deetruction.” No, no, not that; of peace isn’t it, Mr Editoi? Why should the Goepel of peaoe be disturbing oui quietude today? Be cause they are trying to win whiskey from men, instead of men from whiskey. Not very long after our Lord’s departure, the spirit came. He proceeded to do His labor without any consulting, or appealing for any legislative enactments from any sovereign power of earth. But spoke through lips whose hesrts were prepared for His reoeptioo. Such ovations, ories for mercy, aud what •hall we do to be saved; oever before resounded in tbe world. How men can conscientiously ap peal from this high and lofty power to the groveling powers of earth, and then ask this Holy Ghost to their banquet of carnage aod destruction, that they may find a nearer aod easi er way to the hearts of the people for His Gospel, I am too near sighted to M I have somewhat costive, bnt Doan’i j Reguietr gave juti the recults deal red.
