Now, Mr. Editor, if you can think of anything else that so much water would be best for, please tell us. but I rather think my opinion is right in this matter. To have a nlvy yard at Walterboro the Col leton boys would always have the distinction of saying, we furnished the water. Very truly, Voter Sidney July 3 ist, 190S.

Being inspired by so many ar tides of interest from all parts of the Count), through the columns of your paper and al so by your impartial desire to have all questions of public interest brought face to face for discussion. I will take no particular subject for discus sion. but will give my opinion along with others . about so much water in Walterboro. Judging by the number of can didates that are before us this year, and also the wit that is being displayed in our county paper relative to animals that never existed, whiskey and other topics, we have men fr< >m which to select some of good, sound democratic principles, whose whole aim would be to serve the people of the county with that old principle tlftt is peculiar to democracy—“equal rights to all special priviliges to none.” I do not wish to criticise any innocent one, but it seems to me that some one has not done his duty, when the bovs of Colleton will have to pay 54. 000.60 or $5,000.00 for plenty of water in Walter boro. We do not know, ex actly, what this is for Mr. Edi tor; may be you can tell us. Some of the voters around here think, owing to the fact of such amount of rainfall at times, and then broken by a drought, that the use of irriga tion would be as beneficial as it is out west. It is generally conceded that Walterboro is near the centre of the County , and to have a vast supply of ,h ® u,u,ir ^ water there, that by the’nsei Ihe roiJ,in tl„, part of the of irrigation to all parts of Col-i c '' un, 5' areb '“ la " 1 nee 1 d to ^ leton County, no lamer need w ' jrked - but >'‘e Urand Jury suffer lor water on his crop. ^ tllcir re l wrt that ,ho J dld uot This is the opinion of some ^ l,ow tl10 - u P emfmr could « et that brought to ,lu! ‘ n iu tl,e “ e ‘* r f “ ture - Princess Dresses and Jumper Suits Balance of our Indies white and colored Lawn and Lingeries IVincess Dresses and Jumper Suits. < >n sale at the following reductions— $4 .00 Dresses reduced to 2 67 5.00 Dresses reduced to 3.37 7.50 Dresses reduced to 5.00 ic.oo Dresses reduced to 6.07 15.00 Dresses reduced to 10.00 18.00 Dresses reduced to 15.00 20.00 Dresses reduced to 13.57 30.00 Dresses reduced to 20.00 Ladies wajking skirts of Black and Navy Blue Panama.

As Mr. Gruber opinion the* county into this contract, but I do not agree with this party altogeth er. You see. Mr. Editor, you stated that Colleton was not represent d in Congress, or contrariw ise, nothing had been explained in The Press dr Stand- done for Colleton. My opinion ard July 22ml, I JJS. Mr. Gruber is this: Mr Legare heard what i says he had this published so that you said and then he says—“If j the people of Walterboro could I can get some help I will do! see and know what was going on. something for Colleton. 1 Now, I think the voters and tax have given Charleston a great dry dock ard navy yard, and inasmuch as Walterboro is a very high, dry place for a dry dock, if Walterboro’s Super visor will make the Colleton boys furnish the water, I will surely have a navy yard built at Walterboro for Colleton too.” Now, Mr. Editor, that would be fine, for the great cry in Charleston is—“we have plen ty of water at low tide artt don’t pay for any of it”, so you see for us to buy eight or ten thousand dollars worth of water, with the help of Island Creek and the showers all aloog, we would have plenty of water at any kind of tide.
