THE MASS MEETING.
Well, the much talked of mass
meeting has been held. The issues
have been discussed, and some of
them—to death. It 18 doubtful if
as much good has been accomplished
as was hoped for, when the call was
issued, but the representatives know
now what the people think in certain
sections on certain points, and tht»y

No one plan has been decided upon
for a road law, and we would urge
our original idea of a road engineer,

THAT BOND ISSUE.
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,

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.

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.

son who gets out and hustles for
that length of time will come near
being one of the winners. We are wil

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

NOTICES.
is a privilege you have of doing
something for yourself. 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.
