Twice as much for the Hryan fund as Wal* terboro! Wonder how many teachers will be present at the next meeting? Watch for their names in this paper. There are forty-two counties in South Carolina; twelve judicial cir cuits and seven Congressional Dis tricts. Pork selling for 8 cents a pound on its feet and cotton at 8 cents: » which will pay Colleton’s farmers best, pork or cotton? RAILROAD FARE REFUND. The plan for securing refunds of railroad fare paid by purchasers of goods to the amount of $20. was definitely orranged in a meeting held Friday afternoon, at the store of H W Black, Jr. D B Black was elected treasurer and will have charge of the funds for paying back the railroad fares. The plan is simply this: The con ductors on the trains coming to Wal terboro are given passenger coupons ■« <r with every station between Yemas- see, Jacksonboro and Ehrhardt printed thereon, when a passenger presents a ticket from any of these stations, the conductor gives him or ber a coupon with the station punch ed. This is|retained by the passenger and presented to any of the mer chants whose names are printed on the back of the coupon. Another cou pon is then given the^ purchaser showing’the name of the merchant and the amount. Eachin turn does the same and the purchaser then takes all the coupons to the treasurer who refunds the railroad fare if the amo.ynt purchased, exclusive of gro ceries, equals $20. It is hoped that every one coming to Walterboro will avail themselves of this.advantage and get their fare back. We commend) this plan to the careful consideration of persons com ing to Walterboro and trust every one who can will get refunds. If the plan works well on the railroad it will shortly be extended so as to take in every road leading to Walterboro. of dollars spent for whiskey into legitimate channels so that our people can devote more of their energies and means to the educa tion of our children. It is nonsense to think that the money obtained from this source helps the school — snd the man who votes to retain it because of the revenue feature sells his vote for the pittance received. Why, many patrons of the schools who cannot afford to buy school books for their childm spend annu ally m the dispensary every year many times, the amount necessary to pay for books to educate their children. Is it any wonder our schools are improperly taught? Is it not rather remarkable that they are taught so well? “Every ignor ant, inefficient man. white or black, jn a community makes it poorer, makes everybody in the community poorer.” Is YOUR child being educated? We quote from letter received: “1 wish to express my hearty ap proval of your editorial in this week’s paper on the subject of education. The Trustees are to blame for the slack conditions that prevail. They ignore the laws and make laws to suit themselves. There arc plenty of good men in our county who are willing to serve as Trustees of our schools and would do their duties conscientiously and according to the law, but somehow these good men do not get the appointments because some politician lias some pull with the county board or some axe. to grind and succeeds in getting in his man, who is no doubt competent but he is under the influence of this ward heeler. Witness the conten tions over school locations and other useless and arbitrary actions of some Trustees. The County Board no doubt is perfectly honest, but WHY BE BEHIND THE TIMES and poke along with old rail fencing or wrapped, • 4 twisted or woven wire fence?

When a hog shows any symptoms of this disease, he should be isolated at once and the pen fumigated in order to save the other hogs if pos- s ble. Mix one part Sloan’s Liniment with'two parts milk in a bottle and give every sick hog a tablespoonful of this mixture night and morning for three days. Sloan’s Liniment is a powerful antiseptic, kills the diaease germs, soothes all inflamation and acts as a tonic to the animal. A. J. McCarthy of Idaville, Ind., says:— “My hogs had hog cholera three days before w'e got Sloan’s Liniment, which was recommended to me by a neighbor who was using it with success. I have used it now for three days and my hogs are al most well- One hog died before I got the Liniment, but I have not lost any since.” Mr. G. W. Balsbaugh of Peru. Ind., writes:—”! had four pigs that were coughing and were not doing well. 1 gave them some of Sloan.s Liniment and they got better at once.” Sloan’s book on Horses, Cattle, Hogs and Poultry sent free.

Bury your mulligrubs whth the defeated candidate. Don’t wear “a green and yellow melan- icholy.” Look up, and not down. Whatever comes to pass politically, you are still a candidate for public favor; make your election sure. The whole country isn’t going to smash because Bryan is going to be defeated. Tomorrow the sun will rise, though parties fall: the crops will bud next spring, whatever be tide the politicians in the withering blasts of November Fourth; men will need watches and women will need adorning, and things will happily break, and dirt will judi ciously settle itself into pivot-holes, and money will be found to pay the jeweler—though Taft is elected Your political griefs will look small to you in Christmas week; or your present joys will seem tame when you are striking a balance-sheet next January *1. There’s always a future for trade, if only the trqde be right. The future is big with promise if Bryan is elected—or if he isn’t. Don’t worry.

Last Monday morning a fishing party left here for Savage’s planta tion, where thty took the boats, and were piloted to Otter Island, by Commodore C. A. Savage, on the Annie Keith and Commodore C. H. Fripp, on the Louise. They arrived at camp at 5:30 in the afternoon. Tents were pitched, and a fine hot supper awaited the party.

Many trips were made over the Ashe poo, Chehawand on St Helena Sound.

Many large houses, a store and cotton gin ufere on this island and it was also some- thier new to the party to see the ginning of the Sea Island Cotton, 'the cotton from miles aroUnd is carried to this gin. The weather could not have been more desirable, fresh breeze kept the mosquitoes away and the sun did not make himself objectionable, he very kindly "kept himself behind clouds most of the time, so there was not a complaint of ruined complex ions from the fair sex. The "coffee fiends” aroused the campers every morning before sun rise and offered a tempting hot cup of coffee to each, then an early breakfast was prepared. After this early repast the party divided, one half going down the river to fish, the other going up the river. Those who enjoyed this pleasure trip are: Captain and Mrs. C. A, Savage, Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Fripp, Misses Edna Stokes, Emily Bellinger, Louise Fripp and Annie Savage. Messers D. J. Chaplin, Rivers Fuller, and Masters Harold and Fuller Fripp. Just before leaving it was voted ‘ unanimously that the camp should be result in much good educationally Tne people should arouse themselves name( j Camp Louise, and that each and see to it that the children who one on the next trip, must carry attend school in this county ^ve Friday night after the some advantages other children , a most pleasant outing, in other counties have.
