A little reading room in each school would not be a bad idea, and we refer this to the county teachers’ association. Cotton Buyers Announcement. is? BRIDGE AT JACKSONBOKO.

A treat is in store for those who follow our write-ups each week. Keep them and you will have a good history of Walterboro when complet ed. We rise to ask with due respect and consideration; Will the proposed “rest” room increase the member of those “resting” in Walterboro now? A good many pounds of nice white cotton could have been picked if the professional loafers who fre- o _ quent the streets of the town had been busy. Our voting contest was similar to one conducted by The Farm and Factory Journal of Seneca in which this paper gave away $100. Five of the contestants won $10. each; 18 won $1.38 each; 53 won 28c each and 99 won lOcjeacb. Vie desire to call the attention of our readers to the advertisements in this paper, and would urge that they patronize these merchants who use our columns. It would also be a favor if they will say to the mer chant; “I saw your ad in The Press and Standard.” We would like to have a corrse- pondent from every school in the county, to telljof the happenings of the school.

At any-rate the idea is worth investiga ting and if it be found feasible, we are sure it would be found useful and convenient to a large portion of the population of the county. We should be glad to have the matter discussed through our columns. “SLIGHTLY MIXED.” The State Executive Committee is not as strict in construing the rules of the party as our county Executive committee. Mr J E Moore, of Col leton county, contested the nomina tion of Mr J C Griffin as Supervisor of Colleton, before the State Exe cutive Committee on Wednesday, on the ground that Mr Moore had failed to file his expense account before the second primary. The Colleton Exe cutive committee declared Mr Moore to be the nominee, and the State Executive Committee sustained their ruling. In Aiken county our Executive Committee lived up to the law: Mr W J Creed, candidate for magistrate, who was running without opposition, failed to file his pledge and he failed to get the nom ination. The law is plain, and We do not see how the State Executive Committee could act as they did; The Journal and Review. The editor of The Journal and Review seems just as badly mixed on the facts of the case in point as he is on the law. We would suggest tliat he exercise mort care, and we would refer him to “Bobbie” E. T. H.

In many ■ ways we see day by day that the public visit on a public servant especially on a newspaper every predjudice or spite possible and make it as hard as possible for a man to give honest serviceVho flUa 3 uch a position. The result will be if the people do not wake to a realization that thair in terests jnust be proteced that only mer) whose pocket nerves cannot be found will have to be selected to serve them, or they will have to put up with their interests being sold out whenever they conflict with in dividuals who can inangurateanerve squeezing. That is the condition which is now driving most news papers to sell out to rich corporate interests and to forsake the ests of the people. If the Times were owned by a stock company its editor would frequently be compell ed to sacrifice the interests of the public to maintain his position. As it is, being private property, we can do as we think right, even though we do often lose and are pinched by Jhose whose interests are offended by the maintainance of the rights and interests of the people. We prefer things this way. When we find that the petty oppression se- riouly involves our chance to make an honest living we will announce our withdrawal from the public ser vice and the reason why. and when We now have in Stock the INTERNA TIONAL CO’S Reliable Disk Harrows.
