The ballot is the weapon of the

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

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.”

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.
