Now, it is evident that a large part of the county does not want stock law, though certain sections ‘‘Can a man get married on a 1 week?” asks an exchange.

How can this town make any progess unless its citizens catch the the new spirit and work together for the common good.

Newspaperdom in South Carolina suffered an irreparable loss in the death of Editor R. R. Hemphill of the Abbeville Medium whit^i occur- en at his home Dec. 2Sth. Mr Hemphill was *is years old. and for fourteen years was clerk of the house. He was a gallant Confe derate soldier, and a man of high honor, a writer of ability. He was a brother of Editor J C Hemphill of the News and Courier. No one plan has been decided upon for a road law, and we would urge our original idea of a road engineer, $2. commutation tax, work by chain gang and engineer in each township, perchase of machinery, and a 2 mill property tax, coupled with the or ganization of Good Rood’s Associa tions after plan of the Adams Run and Collins township organization. We unqualifiedly endorse the agricultural high^schoof located at Walterboro with experiment station at Young’s Island or Meggett, and trust our representatives will work for this with all their energy.

Now is a good time to begin to work again on the bond issue for a new school building, waterworks, etc. If there is any good reason for delay. K is not apparent, and the timeunow ripe for action. The need fo^ these extra funds certainly does not diminish, but rather in creases. Every year the oid school house gets a little more dilapidated, and a little im suited for the educa tional center of Colleton County. Every day the danger from fire seems more imminent. In certain sections of the town a fire would mean more loss than the bend issue asked. A means to successfully combat such a catastrophe should be provided at the earliest practical moment. What the town has done in this direction is a stop in the right direction but only a step. Others should bo taken at once. So interest yourself., free-holdor, in getting to sign this petition.

After all, the meeting was a valupble one, and had we been a legislator, we should have been glad of this privilege to meet with our constituency. OUR REVIEW. We desire to take this means of thanking those of our readers and contributors who have done so much during the past year to make The Press and Standard what it has al ways been, the paper of the people, by the people and for the people. The thipg of all things for which a person should be thankful is his friends—The Press and Standard is thankful for its friends. A year is a long time Vhen viewed from either end—at one of which one can look back and see what has been; at the other one may look for ward and see what is to be, or rather what one would like to be. One view is of a goal passed; the other of a goal to win. I *00VSV* wsv«* wisvr sivs||iiv/xja \JL triUTIl Looking back over the year just has received up to’date.

I£ m • j , , , , you are thinking of entering now is friends, there has not been an un-1 the time so that you will have an even start. Then you should get in OUR VOTING CONTEST. Seldom have we ever seen the great interest being taken in a con test of any kind as is being shown in our great voting contest. It is being talked wherever the paper goes, and persons are commenting on the value and beauty, as well as the usefulness of our prizes, They are all valuable. The Rock Hill buggy or the New Home sewing machine will pay any one handsomely for a month’s work. There are very few persons in this county who are getting $55. or $50. per month, and we believe the per son who gets out and hustles for that length of time will come near being one of the winners. We are wil ling to aid the candidates in any way possible to get votes just so long as we can do it and treat each one alike. We shall take pleasure in furnishing any candidate with a list of our subscribers in any section of the county, with the dates to which their subscriptions are paid, such lists to be kept private by the candi date and not shown to anyone. The names of the candidates nomi nated so far are published in this issue with the number of votes each DOTS FROM STOKES.

W e have had a most prosperous year, and our business has increased wonderfully for which we are thanklul to our many friends and customers.

Nobody has any more interest in it than you have, so why wait for the petition to hunt you up—hunt it up, and do it at once. To the new officers who assumed charge of the offices of the county yesterday: we salute you. You have at last begun to realize the fruits of your victories at the polls. To be a winner is worth something, and you are winners. Here's hoping that your administration may be one of unparalleled success. Be ye strong. Be ya wise. It has fought the fight of the people and-won, because its fight was fair and just and right. And today The Press and Standard is stronger than ever before—it goes into more homes and is more widely read. These are facts, not stated boastfully but humbly and thankfully. So much for the year that is gone| For the year that is to come we hope for,even better things. 1909 will .be a year for achievement and we wish to say at the pause for the next mile-post-1910-our goal has been won. Our aim is for a better, richer fuller life for the people of Colleton on this thirty-day oilier for new subscribers. You can afford 0 to work for new names, and \y’e believe we can back up any statement you make as to The Press'and Standard. You can assure those whom you ap proach that they can surely expet an .issue every week for fifty-two in a year. We are no experiment in Colleton’s newspaper world—we have thirty-two years back of us, and the guarantee that we are stronger today than! ever before, and this is thepcind of guarantee one wants who is parting with his money for subscription to any newspaper, or for anything else except stock in the Seminole Company. The key to success in this contest is spelled. H-u-s-t-l-e. Save the coupon votes and get your friends to send them in for you—anything to swell the total. NOTICE—A.
