Here will The Press and Standard
the people’s rights maintain,
Unawed by influence and unbribed
by gain.
Our sincerest sympathly goes out
to Editor Lorenz of the Aiken Jour
nal and Review in the death of his
wife. A sad bereavement for one
so young and full of life and energy.
REFERRED TO THE CIVIC
LEAGUE.
The remarks in last week’s issue
of this paper relative to the Civic
League were, of course, only pleas
antry and were intended^.o try to
get the ladies aroused as to some of
the things they might accomplish.
This weelt we desire to call upon
the lieague to do something worthy
their brighest endeavors and some
th ing't hey can accomplish if they
will work together and energetically.
We would urge tne President to
call a meeting and let her l>est
workers take charge of it and push
it to success at once. To do this
piece of work will Ik* to build a
monument that will redound to the
■PB
Mr Towles is an enthusiast for
good roads and the plan he proposes
is a good one, and the people of his
township are making wonderful im
provements in their roads. As he
says, however, there is no other sec
tion of the county so well suited to
such work as he is doing as Adams
Run and Collins townships.
Ther would lx* trouble in main
taining fo many “gangs” in several
parts of the county, and the main
gang, already an expense, if divided
up would be more of an expense.
Consolidation of the road working
force and the use of road working
machinery w ill increase the.efficiency
of the workers, and rotation, or
going from one township Wj an
other will give the local work need
ed, or make some improvement
permanent in each township eacn
year. Mr Towles’ idea of a good
road’s association is excellent; and
such organization is necessary for
tlft* townships and county.
“Nemo” adds some interesting
comments on Mr Sanders’ proposed
law. and we get an idea from his
suggestion of a license on vehicles of
which wc are 4 heartily in favor. For
the information of our readers, we
will say, that “Nemo” is an exper
ienced and able law-maker from
another county, who will he of great
help to!our delegation in securing
the passagefof any road legislation.
In reply to his argument for hav
ing only a commutation tax, we
would!say that this county has tried
• o
that and it did not work well too
many persons did not pay. Then,
too, perhaps at the*time the gang
undent he “overseer or contractor’’
is working it^ might not suit the
taxpayer to^work to make back*his

to result in serious harm to her, as
she naturally became very nervous
over the matter. Coming, too,
just on the eve of the Annual Con
ference when Mr Daniel is to wind
up his third year, it is especially
dastardly and outrageous.
Rev Daniel recognized most of
these* young men hut will not give
out their names for publication., else
they would bo published. Language
vs not stong enough to express the
condemnation which all right think
ing fiersons should feel for such an
outrageous act. These young night
prowlers should Ik? dealt w ith by the
lawamKmade to know that in a Wal-
terhoro a man’s home is his_castle,
and he is sacred therein; and especi
ally, if tlfat home contain an invalid
lady, or if it he a ministers home.
Had Rev Daniel shot these mar-
B
anders down on his porch they would
have "been paid for,” and no one
could have condemned him. The
WHO IS MY NEIGHBOR?
Who is my neighlior on life’s road?
1 hronged with its human freight
Is it the one who proud of wealth
Rides Th his coach of state?
Or is it folly’s favorite
Who loiters by the way
And with the dance and wine cup
seek
My upward course* to stay?
Ah! no tis he who lowly bends ‘
Beneath some heavy load
VN ho needs my help my neighbor is
Upon, life's rugged road
My neighbor ’tis, who te mpted falls
Far from the journey’s end,
Wounded, discouragenj in the fight
And needing most a friend.
Tis them the silent clasp of hand,
Or kindly w*ords of cheer,
Will te> the fainting traveller be
As springs in desert dre*ar.
Then let us each as we press on
Be neighborly and kind.
That we may when we need it most
True Christian friendship find.
And when the march of life is done
May we a welcome me*et
Within the gate?s a Saviours smile,
And rest at a Saviours feet.

same time filling our greatest nc*ed.
Will you do it, Madam Frsident and
ladic*s of the League? Is your
organization one for real “civic im-
j»roveme*nt” or are* you willing to
let your energies he expended in
planting a dozen flowers here or
there? We* believe the higher work
^rill appe*al to you more.
Referred to the League: The
matter of a new school building for
able to find a suitable time to do it.
We endorse heartily Nemo’s state
ment that "he w ho wishes to do the
o
right and to benefit his people, must
never let his thoughts ramble off to
the next primary.” This fear of
the consequences kills more good
legislation than any other cause.
Keep up the discussion. I^et us
have your thoughts We all shall he

citizens of Walterboro,v irrespective
of denominational beliefs, should let
,.r
it he known that they condemn such
outrageous acts, and brand the pv r-
IK*trators as worse than crimnials.

Notfce is hereby Riven that on
November the 16,1*03. the undersigned
will file with the Secretary of State at
Columbia. S C, a petition for the in
corporation ( f the Western Star under
the provtalrns of Article II, Chapter
XLY11I of Yolamc* one of South Caro
lina.
Walterboro. The proposition to the
Civic League is to take a petition we
have on which are more than one
hundred signatures of free holders
and to secure the remaining number
of signatures. This petition can be
finished in a short while by these
ladies we are sure, and we trust
they will take it and finish it up so
that we may have a new school
building by next session.
Now, here is work for the Civic
League to do, and work needed.
That old school building is an eye
sore and a disgrace to Walterboro
—let the ladiesfremove it.
The time to do it is now for if the
new building is to be ready for the
aext session the details must be
worked out in the near future. This
is an opportuity for the League to
show it serious purpose its reason
to be. Will it measure up to its
responsibilities? We believe it will.
OUR GOOD ROAD’S DISCUSSION
Seldom have we we seen more
hlter^A in a discussion of public
Matters than in the discussion of the
road problem going on through our
columns. The people are alive to
this question as never before, and
we believe a law or plan will be
evolved that will suit our county
better than anything we have ever
had. We commend this friendly
and able discussion to the considers-
tion of all our readers, ani if any
one has an idea he believes will be
better than any advanced so far,
let ua have it. Remember that «n a
multitude of counsel there is wisdom,
and we believe the people of the
„ o
county have elected men to their
law-making bodies who will try to
be their servants and not

A DISGRACEFUL AFFAIR.
Saturday night about midinght
«>
six young men of this town went to
the street comer, at the methodist
parsortage, three of them going into
the yard and up on the porch and
three remaining outside the gate,
and in an offensive manner
sang. These young men according
to Mr Daniel's statement had the
appearance of ‘being intoxicated, and
evidently went to the parsonage for
the purpose of insulting the pastor,
Rev. J L Daniel.
Nearly two years ago Rev Daniel (
in the course of a sermon remarked
that he had heard a song—Sweet
o . *
Adeline—so often that he would not
mind if Sweet Adeline were dead.
Shortly after that time several boys
and young men went to the parson
age and in a boisterous manner threw
missiles at the parsonage and sang
and used profane language, greatly
to the mortification and insult of
Rev Daniel and family. Mrs Daniel^
being a sufferer from a nervous
malady, was terribly upset, ard for
a time the family were apprehensive
as to their safety.
Mrs Daniel was so shocked that it
was necessary for her to go away
for sometime. This matter finally
blew over and it was thought no
more would be heard it but since
this recent outrage, Rev Daniel says
there hav<» been one or two boys or
young men, who have not missed a
chance in passing the parsonage to
sing “Sweet Adeline.” No notice
was taken of this, however, and he
hoped then* would be no futher un-
pleasantineas. Last Tuesday Mrs
Daniel had a surgical operation and
has since been very ill, and this af-
SaturdaJ night was calculated
a sale for pianos. The more we
know about poetry, the more we
want to own copies of Tennyson and
Longfellow; that means the sale of
books. The more we know about
domestic architecture, the better
homes we build and the more
churches and libraries and public
halls. That keeps contractors and
carpenters and stonemasons busy.
The more we know about outdoors
and landscape gardening, the more
we buy plants and shrubs and flow
ering vines, and the nursery man has
his prosperity. The more pretty
gowns and bonnets women set their
eyes on, the the busier we keep the
milliners and dressmakers.
You see! It pays in good round
dollars to educate the town. School,
libraries, lecture courses, anything
that teaches us more than we know
now, reacts on the business pros
perity of the town. This is not guess
work or theory; it is a problem
worked out and proved every year
in every town.
As an instance, look up the records
in the communities that have the
lecture course habit. There is Elk-
h^rt, Ind. They held their first lec
ture course there in the winter of
1875-6, when they were a little
village of 400 people. They have
had a course every season since.
Now Elkhart is a town of 20,000.
It is primarily an industrial center;
it boasts of that, and mentions cas
ually that it has the best schools and
public library in the state, and more
churches than saloons.
In another Indiana town, Topeka,
there has been a Lyceum lecture
every Friday night for twenty-eight
years. Topeka is a tiny little villager*} f,
but it has a Lyceum hall that cost
over $12,000; it draws audiences to
each lecture of over 600 people, and
it has neither a saloonkeeper, gam
bler, (trunkard nor pauper among its
citizens.
Put this bee in your bonnet. The
live, wideawake up-and-doing indus
trial towns of this country

NEEDFUL
KNOWLEDGE,
Walterboro People Should
Learn to Detect the Approach
of Kidney Disease.
The symptoms of Kidney trouble
are so unmiataksble that they leave
do ground for doubt. Sick kidneys
excrete s thick, cloudy, offensive
urine, fnll of sediment, irregular of
pesMge or attended by s sensation of
scalding. The back aches constant
ly, headaches and dizzy spells may
occur and the victim is often weighed
down by a feeling of languor and
tatigue. Neglect these warnings and
there is danger of dropsy, Bright’s
Disease, or dishestes. Any one of
these symptoms is warning enough
to beg : n treating the kidneys at once.
Delay often proves fatal.
You can use no better remedy
than Doan’s Kidney Pills. Here’s
Walterboro proof:
W. R. Hickman, Police Officer,
Walterboro^. C., says: “I bad such
severe pains through my back and
loins that if 1 sat down for a short
tune I would have to grasp some
thing when getting up. I could not
rest wed at night and felt miserable
in the morning. My kidneys were
weak and the secretions contained a
heavy sediment. Since using Doan’s
Kidney Pills procured from the
Walterbor Drug Go., I have been
ree from tee above mentioned annoy
ances. My wife usmI Doan’s Kidney
Pills and the results in her case were
just as satisfactory.”
