The one ^ * o . 1 * violates the law as much as the other—indeed, he who. with social prestige and education and wealth, violates law is more guilty than the outcast, because his instincts should be higher. / The law is. and must be kept, supreme. Therefore whatever legislation is enacted by the Colleton delegation should be weighed with utmost care, so that our county shall have the benefits to be derived from wise legislation. To that end we heartily approve of a discussion of proposed legislation, and there is no means by which such discussion can be bene ficial to all our people or reach so many, as through the medium of the press. We, therefore, offer the columns of this paper again to any one who wishes to discuss any law he thinks would help Colleton. Our columns belong to the people, and we want them to be used either by the members of the General Assemb- by, or others.

One can hardly estimate the value of an individual’s influence for good or bad, which influence is directlly in proportion to the importance of V the position occupied. If it be high and one of power, then much weight attaches to what such a person says and does. A person can be so enthused over some public question as to enthuse others, and these others and so on as the dropped pebble produces ever-widen ing waves in still waters. These rei lections aie forced on one who comes in contact with I *'0 c* Judge Prince and hears his views on the question cf education. It is, he League. Of course we bear no ill will to ward the League for its refusal to undertake this, and stand ready to render them any aid possible in uey. and there is nothing that will take the soreness out like ' Sloan’s Liniment, and I keep a bottle in my grip always. ” whatever worthy may have. undertaking they to in to TLE L \W OF THE LAND. The law of the land! Aye, there it is; the murderers of Editor Ed ward W. Carmack had no fear of the law of the land. So many murders have gone unavenged, so many murderers have been unpunished, and particularly in the State of Ten nessee, that these men trusted in the non-enforcement of the law to get away an punished. The law has booi* laughed at many times in Ter- 1 nessee; these men laughed at it. They are very close friends with Governor Patterson, by whom Car mack was defeated a few months says, the most important question ago. Nothing but rigid enforce- we have confronting us today. We mentof the law will prevent such are sure those who have heard his murders as that of t armack, remarks from time to time since he has been holding court think COST OF BONDS. To bond this town for $15,(MX) build a school house, to pay the tereet and create a sinking fund pay off the bonds will necessitate a lax levy of 3 mills or the citizen who pays taxes on $1,000, worth of prop arty will have to pay $3.00 more taxes, or 30 cents on $100. Are you .willing to pay this price? If so sign the petition. IMPORTANCE OF LAW-MAKING. Never in the history of this ceuntry has the position of a legisla tor carried with it more responsibi- lities, and needed more far-seeing legislating than at the present time. Legislators have been legislating for Uia present long enough,—it is time for them to be thinking of the effects their legislation will have on the fgtureone hundred years or one thousand yean h?nce. To do this wiD need stern courage and self- abnegation. It will not do to get the laws mixed with fean as to how the voter will think of them, and the effect they will have on the future chances of political prestige by him who introduces than. It is but staling a truth known of all men to say that Colleton county along with every other county in the State, hha suffered frem such legislation Colleton county just now needs acme legislation, and, in addition, seme enforcing of legislation already enacted. Too many of her offices, we fear, wink at violation of law. There must be respect for law be* O a cause it is law, and not sespect for only sueh law as meets one’s peculiar vlUwe. Mban there must be an equal i O ufflaaceaient of law on the high and tfcdlow. In the eyes of the law all hu equal* and Mrauld be sqpaL Mr A because he .u-, more seriously uf schools and education. He believes in better teachers, bet ter schools houses and better equip ment. To secure better teachers he thinks it necessary to pay better salaries. He condemns in no uncer tain terms the employment of “girl” teachers. In training boys and girls, ’'the future man and women of a great tomorrow,” it is necessary that they be taught by trained and educated men and women—mostly « men. We feel sure the remarks of Judge Prince will do good education ally in this county. We commend him for thus using his high position to further the capse so near to his heart—that of the helpless young hoys and girls of our State and county* Pity is that more such men do not take a similar interest. CIVIC LEAGUE’S REASONS. The following letter has been re ceived from the Civic League relative to our desire to get the members interested in the matter of the peti tion for bonding the town for a new school building: The ladies of the Civic League greatly thank you for the cxpfweed confidence in their efforts and abili ties as shown fay your tendering the petition relative to our acquiring a new school building to us. But by a unanimous vote the segue hes directed me to thank you in its name but to respectfully decline the responsibility entailed in the movement, which has proven so difficult in more experienced and efficient hands than ours. The ladies of the League heartily endorse and sympathize with the efforts toward better educational facilities in Walterboro, but we are only a small body of the town ladies and have only been organized since the past summer, therefore, feel incapable of assuming your pcopoai tion. Very respectfully, Jessie Melville Fraser. Seeretary Walterboro Civic League LacMeM Klein. PreMdent Nov. 21, IMS. He | was murdered; his brilliant cairer ' brought to a sudden close, though premeditated malice. But some will inquire: if an editor is not killed occasionally, what ^ill deter them in vicious attacks upon individuals? A newspaper is, in one regard, a public institution, with an obligation to the public. In the conduct of public affairs, it has not cnly the privilege, but it is duty- bound. to speak out, for or against any measures or men concerned. Public* men, by becoming public men, permit their records, and their acts to become public property, and an editor is under obligation to the public to point out such things as the public has a right to know; those things that have sny bearing what soever on the public good. But an editor does sometimes allow his persons! feelings to direct his course, ard he is lead into errDr. For unjust criticism, the injured have redress in the courts; no editorial utterances will ever justify the killing of an editor. Let the people hold newspapers jn strict obedience to the laws, and the fear of libel suits will be effective; let the people fear the laws sgainst murder and fewer editors will be slain,— Laurens Advertiser. PLENTY OFEXER CISE NECESSARY Plenty of regular exercise must be taken in order to beep (be body in a healthy condition. Any excessive or unusual exer- ertion, however, is sure to cause stiffness and soreness of the mus cles 4nd joints.. To counteract this effect there is ncthing better than Sloan’s Liniment. Lay it on lightly where the muscles have been •trained; It requires no rubbing for it penetrates right to the bone, relieves any congestion and inflammation and makes the moacles elastic and pliant. . Sloan’s Liniment is a great boon to athletes, for it not only relieves pain and stiffness, but it is an excellent remedy for .sprains, ctrit biuisee and cramps. Mr. J. F.
