WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10, 1908.
Here will The Press and Standard
the people’s rights maintain.
Unawed by influence and unbnbed
by gain.
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*

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. Indeed, let ns not ask
if we ena afford to do it, ratbsr let
mr question be, oaa we afford not to

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. Had He desired obedi
eooe through fear, this was not i
proper conns to pursue, for even
taaliy it wootd reaalt in revolts dis
turbing the pence and* unity of his

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
