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.

Children’s Day
at Cottageville.
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.

ghan, Mrs. Cora Ackerman,
Mrs. Annie Ackerman, Miss
Hula Ackerman, Messrs. H. L.

Organists are Misses Eulaand

Exercise, “Faith and Hope,”
Marion and Roland Ackerman
These children were all
grouped around a cross; those
reciting were each furnished
with a letter which was hung
upon the cross, spelling Faith,
Hope, Love, all bound togeth
er by the chain of gold. Beau
tiful banners bearing the words
“Faith, Hope and Lpve” were
displayed. Forming a circle
they all sang, “Near the Cross.”
This was considered by all
present as the prettiest part
of the exercises.

exercises Dear Sir :I have had one of the
convicts on thechingang who was
. ent irely unlit for work on account
of an attack of rheumatism.
Bad to be carried to the tent at
night unable to walk. Used two
tattles of Yarn’s Rheumatic
(Jure and is now well and able to
put in full work with the other
hands.
I heartily recommend the
medicine for those who are sulf-
erintr with rheumatism.
Yours very respectfully,

In order that you may fullv un
derstand ihe virtuesof the VaRX
Hiiki maiic (Jikk, we quote the
following testimonial* of reputa
ble citiz -ns who were great suff
erers of rheumatism, who have
been permauentlv cured by its
use:
Branchville, S. 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. H- Di kes.
• Charleston, 8. C., Feb. 14,1908.
Mr. A. G. Yarn,
Dear Sir:—Kindly send ano
ther (Kittle of your rheumatic
cure to George W. 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.
