T. E. D. on | Waterworks. Some Pertinent Questions Asked. Smoaks, July 31—Editor Press and Standard: Please allow me space in your valua ble columns for a few lines in relerence to the waterworks. Since the report of the waterworks commniittee was made public and the people have found out what has been going on in secret, there has been much uneasiness among them as to what will happen next. In begining the discusion of this question the first point to consider is who will be benefit ed by this waterworks system — Walterlioro or Colleton county? The question is almost self explanatory, Wal- terboro of course. Why do 1 say Walterboro 3 Because Colleton county pays for 50 per cent of the w ater, and we can safely say that she cannot use more than 25 per cent of the water produced by this system. The committee in their report states that 80 or 90 per cent of the people of WWterboro will be reached by das system, while on the other hand there are only two county buddings to be supplied with water. This seems to -me almost proves conclusively the statement just made. Now' what will become of the other 25 per cent of the water that befongs to the county. It will l>e at die disposal of Walter- lx>ro free of charge. Is there any business, is there any judgment in buying a thing that you do not need? Es- |H*cially when it was not taught with an individual’s money but with the people’s money of this county. Is it right or is it just that the people of Colleton county should be taxe to pay 50 per or $4,353 43 or. the waterworks a'd receive only a very small benefit from it? Who is to lie blamed for this highhanded act? The supervisor, and incidently the county commissioners. Some one may ask why lay it on ihi* supervisor? Because he has the county's money* at his command to build, repair, etc the property of the county. He may say that the county could not do without water works, but she has been doing without them for nearly a century or mote, and could iiave done without longer. There are a great many things that we would like to Iiave around our places, fine Houses and waterworks too, but all of us cannot afford it, neither do I believe Colleton county able to pay $5,000 or .more for waterworks. ;Now fellow citizens of Col- Ileton county in concluding my litflt* epistle, 1 suggest two remedies that may remove or partilly remove this burden Jr<nn our shoulders. 1st to ask our legislators to pass a law .requiring Colleton to sell her '.ahiire in the waterworks, but this we suspect would be very hard to enact. 2nd That election day is not far oft, when we can select the very best man we can find for the posi tion. Of course this remedy will not remove the burden from our tacks, but may keep others from being placed upon us. Is it la wful for a supervisor to take a contract to do a piece of work without adver tising for bide? We would JOfie for someone to answer this question for us. With host ?

The annual Children’s Day exercises of the Cottageville Methodist Sunday School were held in that church Sunday morning at eleven o’clock. These exercises were very good. The children had been carefully trained. The pro- grame w f as not long enough to be tiring and some of the exer cises were very beautiful. Too much praise can not be given the officers of the School, or those who had part in train ing these children. Those especially interesting them selves in this training are Mrs. Lula Willis, Mrs. Cora Acker man, Miss Alma Ackerman. This is one of the oldest Sun day Schools in the County and has on roll 145 pnpils, with an average attendance of 95. This t^fhool lias taken no va cation for .10 years. -The fol lowing are the officers and teachers: J. D. Ackerman, Superinten dent. B. R. Smith. Secretary. Teachers: Mrs. R. A Ackerman, Mrs. Lula Willis, Mrs. S. D. Vau ghan, Mrs. Cora Ackerman, Mrs. Annie Ackerman, Miss Hula Ackerman, Messrs. H. L. Ackerman and B. H. Willis. Organists are Misses Eulaand Alma Ackerma'n. I he programe consisted of: March horn graded school building to church. Recitation “Greeting” by Fletcher Reeves.

C.* Jau. 12, 19.8. Mr. A . G. Yarn, St. George,s S. C. Dear Sir:—I have suffered with articular rheumatism for the past leu years and have tried every spring in the whole coun try for it and got no relief. I have tried nearly every drug the medi cal profession has gotten out for the treatment of rheumatism with the same results. 1 was in duced to take a tattle of your decoction, aud one bottle cured me entirely aud I am too glad to be able to heartily recommend it to any one suffering with any form of l he disease. Very respectfully yours, L. J. Manx, Physician aud Surgeon. Branchville, S. C.. Jan. 13, 1908. Mr. A. G. Yarn, St. George, S C. Dear Sir:—During the early part of 1907 an attack of rheuma tism from which 1 had been suf fering tor some time, became rapidly and alarmingly worse. Even with the use of crutches i couid hardly get about. My pain and sutlenng were severe almost beyond the point of endurance, and 1 had to take a trip to Hot Springs, Arkansas, whereat the enormous expense, of $710.00, after a stay ot seven weeks, 1 came back as I thought cured. This tern hie malady attacked me again within 30 days after my return home. 1 expected soon to he in as bad coudit 011 as 1 was before going to Hot Springs, when your representative induc ed me to lake your remedy for rheuumtism f In a few weeks after commencing your tieatmeut I improved rapidly. All pains aud swelling entirely left me and 1 became as free from rheuma tism aud as generally healthy as I ever was 111 my life. 1 have since been in active attendance, through a winter of unusual changes <»f temperature and se verity, upon my business which is a large mercantile esrablisliuijnt ami tanning interests. Knowing a* well as 1 do the in tense su tiering of those who are afflicted with rheumatism, I gladly take this opportunity of testifying to my fellow sufferers of the curative powers of your medicine, powerful in the cure of rheumatism. I have found it harmless in ils effects ujam my general health and system. In f^ct, 1 foiled it a tonic, which generally improved my physical condition. Very truly yours, “A. F.

Blitch, 71 Bay St. Charleston, as he says he has been improving very rapidly the past few day*, and the bottle he has is half gone. 1 hope your remedy will be a success, and prove every word you say to be true, the same as you have al ways proved in the fertiliser business. Yours truly, N. H. Blitch. St. George, S. C., April 25, 1998. Mr. A. G. Yarn, Dear SirSome days ago I was affected with the most ter rible backache I ever exper- ieuced—I was not able to put my shoes on—and was almost double from the pain. 1 secured one bottle of Yarn's Rheumatic Cure and after use for a short while found all sign of pain gone and it has never returned . I cannot recommend this medicine too highly to those who suffer from backache aud kindred pains. L. B.
