Hurrah for Cottageville! Twice
as much for the Hryan fund as Wal*

Wonder how many teachers will

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

there should be some way for the
people to express their w ishes as to
who should be Trustees. It would be
an advantage tj the peaceful solution
of some vexations contentions of the
County Board would request their
resignations and let the people sug-

A IM FOR
HOG CHOLERA
Hog Cholera or Swine Plague as it
is sometimes called is a highly con
tagious disorder.
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.”

IF BRYAN IS ELECTED
If Bryan is ejected (or if the other
man wins), get down to business.
Stop whining about dull times and
hard luck. 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. "All’s right
with the world.”

AN ENJOUBLE CRUISE.
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. Oysters,
crabs, shrimp, fish, ’ an ting”, were
on the menu, and disappeared in a
surprisingly short time.
The days were spent on the water,
fishing and pleasure riding. Many
trips were made over the Ashe poo,
Chehawand on St Helena Sound.
The party visited Fenwick Island one
day, and to the surprise of many,
found that Uie island was inhabited
by colored people only. 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,

COLLETON BAPTIST ASSOCIATION
The meeting of the Colleton Bap
