Unawed by influence and unbribed by gain. Vote for honest men! Vote for manhood! Well, the campaign will soon over, Now, won’t it? be The man who buys a vote is as low / * i the man who sells one. The ballot is the weapon of the humble citizen. Use yours to pro mote good government. Vote for men whose life and record are clean. Notice the volume number of this issue—“XXXI.”, Thirty-one years is a long time, and we feel justly proud of ocr record. It is said that several of the can didates for auditor claim they can give more of their time to their work than the one or two less for tunate aspirants—They will not have to lose time to brush their hair. The Press and Standard in its long term of service believes in the recti tude of its actions and can look with pride on its history. It asserts its innocence of any charge of “tainting the public mind.” It has led the public mind in the way of purity and right, and is proud of its power. tieve that any credence" is given such talk, and if it is noticed, it cannot be believed by any one who has taken the trouble to be informed as to our work for the town. We challenge anyone to point to a single act of ours that has not made and will not make for bigger Waiter- boro, nor do we mind the compari son on the results accomplished. We are proud of the town for itself and for the /act that it is the county seat of the most important county in South Carolina today. Waiter- boro has a great future, and we believe she is begining to realize what is in store for her. She should be a leader in thought and action. Her example should be one that Colleton county will watch and cumlate. From this center of the county should emanate influences that should be felt in all that per tains to larger and better Colleton- To do this Walterboro should never be a party to what even has the semblance of being wrong. Let a libera! spirit of encouragement and of reciprocal fellowship, be felt, and the county will respond to the touch of the spirit of progress. Let the new organizations in the town give the country the glad hand of fellowship and let the clasp mean: “My brother, come to us for our mutual benefit; you can trust us, and we shall all work together for the common good.” To the country we would say: “You can trust Walterboro now and hence forth. Meet her half way and let this new spirit enthuse you—this spirit of progress and unity. Away with petty spite and fancied grievances.” ' a Hurrah for Walterboro! Hurrah for Colleton county! pie can have good government only by giving it their most discriminat ing attention. If all do their full duty the government will be as good the people are capable of administer ing, and as f»r those who neglect their duty, they will in any event get as good as they deserve. Many individuals who hold them selves up as good citizens, keep out of politics because they say they do not like to mix with a class that they consider not so good as themselves. With this idea, we have no patience. As we have already remarked, it is the duty of every citizen to devote full and conscientions attention to Siaadsville Aag. 3. Mrs. A. J. Knight aad, little son Clarence, re turned bcmgSuaday, after a pleasant visit to relatives at Cottagrvills. Miss Bertha Murray left hen Fri da j for a visit to friends on Sullivans Island.

Yorkville Enquirer. Tha Contaat. The voting contest closes next Tuesday at noon. Any coupon not in by that time will not be counted. This has been a populor contest and quite a large number of guesses have been received. There will be many more sent in this week, as many have been holding back their votes till near the close of the campaign. Let it be remembered that a vote to be counted must be in this office by noon Tuesday. One dollar on subscription entitles you to four votes.* We believe the people of Colleton county know a bluff when they meet one. They can be depended on to “call’’ it, too. We can assure our good brother Carrol! of the Summerville News that we have for his town “the most kindly sentitnent,” and the same for the distinguished editor of The News. To prove this we are going to ask him to drink with us at 1C o’clock noon, Aug. 26th, a bottle of coca-cola with the sentiment: Here’s to Summerville, the city in the Pines, noted for her beautiful and accomplished daughters, her gifted tons; a good Place in which to live and a better one in which to die. May her people never forget their knightly ri valry!—after which we will smoke a cubeb.” HIS. The eounty campaign in Colleton ought to be Interesting.

Some persons mem to have ojjved the idea that we are advocat- iag that which is, or will be iminlcal to the boat interests of the in that we that k was net to i aia with Mint the of Walterboro, s THE DUTY OF THE CITIZEN. In the selection of candidates for office and in the endorsement of men and principles, the people of York county are right now confronted with the highest duty of citizenship, and how the county, as a whole shall acquit itself will depend on the faithful discrimination of each in dividual. We are very well aware of the fact that with many good citizens, this matter of selecting candidates, passing upon the comparative fitness of fellow citizens to fill given offices, is a distasteful duty. There can certainly be very little pleasure in it, and there are those who like it bet ter if the necessity should never rise. But long experience has proved that the exercise of this duty is ntialy to the preservation of the body politic and it cannot be escaped —not without harm to the public welfare. That The Enquirer belongs to the dam that finds this duty distasteful, it does not hesitate to confca. It would bo much better pleased if things political were more stabl*, and the political machinery of the country once established in rraaona bly satisfactory operation it could so. But realising that this be, with others who seek first the best welfare of the eo&ntry as a whole, we try to do the best • can. Bat the people rixmkl not expect too much of the newspaper in a mat- tar of this kind. The function of the nswspapsr, especially of a news paper of tho kind Tho Enquirer trias to be, k merely to try to give ks renders as full and as accurate information of tho titaation aa it is able, and altar that the people must Such matters are not by what newspapers sag and do, ttnt by a majority vote of tho pooplo, and whether the atiaority continues to think the ma jority right or wrong, k k duty too. It k oomotiams tho cam that indi- viduak claim that tiky hare a choice between the offer ing; but thk k not a good excuse for neglect of duty. There can akwys be found some good reason for pre ferring one candidate above another for any office, and it k the duty of every ritiaen to find thk good reason and to act upon it Because we have been enjoying fairly good govenunent for ao long a tims* aurny poopk niwdhpQssd ts aka that it wfU ahmya ha as; bat WOMAN’S MISSIONARY UNION The Quarterly meeting of the Woman’s Missionary Union, Auxi liary to the Colleton Association, Svoond Division, will be held st Black Creek church on Saturday before the first Sunday in Sept.
