PnblUhed every Wedneedey. at Walterboro, 8. C. Entered *t the Walterboro, 8. C., Poetofflce aa aecotid-claaa matter March ,8 1879, under Act of March 3, 1879. WEDNESDAY. JAN. 13. 1901). Here will The Press and Standard , the people’s rights maintain. Unawed by influence and unbribed by Kain. and for forty days will be engaged in making 6r un-making laws relat ing to our government. W’e would say to them- ITs^ wisdom and deliberation in all you do. Your lot will be to please some of your people and to displease others. It will be impossible to do all that everyone wishes done, but whatever you do, let it be with an eye single te the good of all our people. The people are going to watch and help you all they can. You have their support, and to them you will give an account of your steward-ship. Do not hide anything from them, take them into your confidence. • To that end we otTer you our columns to use whenever you will, either to give or to ask information. Thev are very elastic or they havo been broken. How does the harness tit, gcntle- jnen of the new government? “Peace! Peace! Gentlemen cry “peace, when there is no peace.” . f Give your business a tonic there is nothinj* that equals printer’s ink. Soap boxes are used as seats at the academy here have you signed the petition? It seems that there is no cessation of marriages since leap year h is gone. Perhaps the good work of the fair sex is just bearing fruit. The resignation of of Miss Mary T. Nance as president of the South Carolina School Improvement Asso ciation is a distinct loss to the educational movement in this State- “Am sorry, Mr Editor, I cannot give you any advertisement: I am troubled with heart disease and my physician savs I must quit adver tising so 1 ran have absolute quiet and rest.” HOW MANY? “How many rpen in Walterboro, think you, really have religion?”' j asked Presding Elder Herl>ert at the ' i ' Methodist church Sunday night. How many men in Walterboro, j ; irrespective of creed, lead such lives in their business and every day; walks as would convince a stranger that he was truly a follower of the | meek and lowly Nazerene? How j many carry round w ith them the ear-marks of religion? Is there one who cherishes hatred against his neighbor? Has he religion? Is there one whose transacthms need watch ing lest he take the advantage? Has he religion? Is there one who carries in his heart a grievance against another, and refuses to treat with brm looking to an adjustment of the differences? Has he religion? Is there one who back-biteth his neighbor, ,,reviling him? Has, he o religion? How many men in Walterboro, think you, lead such lives as that you would have your boy be like them? There’s the test. Can your boy be o # like you, follow in your foot steps ami be such a man as you would have him be? If not, \ hy? Then it wouui not he amiss to pray; “cleanse Thou me from secret fault.” LET’S QUIT IT. There is such a thing at talking a condition into existence. Men $re but creatures of their imaginations, and are prone to believe things they hear. During the past year we have “heard much of hard times and worse coming.” We have heard it t so much that we believe it is true, and we begin to talk it—thus it spreads and confidence in our pros perity is loat. This is wrong. We must stop it, and begin on the cry of "good times and better com ing.” Stop finding fault and crying hard times, and let’s get busy doing things to restore confidence, join «. booster’s club if you have to be the sole member, officers and board of directors. There is too much of that cry of hard times right here in Walterboro, and some of our business men are leaders in it. When business is sick givp it a tonic. Smile on the dollar and induce it to come from its hid ing place don’t frown on it and drive it deeper into the pocket, who have favored this pa|K*r with 1 Show us a merchant who is cheerful their advertising patronage during! and optimistic who will not admit the last year. To them, more than | that times are hard and we’ll show to any others, is due the credit for you a merchant who is selling goods. RESOLVED That it shall be our constant aim to have the Rijjht Goods at the Right Prices during the coming year. RESOLVED That you shall be satisfied in full with each and every transaction,you may have with us during 1909. RESOLVED That every ’phone order shall receive prompt and careful attention. ~ RESOLVED That all goods will be delivered as promptly as possi ble. RESOLVED 1 That during 1909 as during the past 34 years—A square deal for all. UV S SUPER. IK UPTOtlf mi*R TO BREAKS HIS LAND IN THE FALL ANDTHEN • • CUTS IT WITH A DISC HARROW. ^ 0 1 I OUR VOTING CONTEST. NOTICE OF HIGH SCHOOL ELEC That was a splendid thing Con gress did last week, to appropriate $809,000. for the relief of the earth quake sufferers in southern Italy- only one cent each for every man, woman and child in the United Statcb. We give ours with pleasure. Under prohibiton in Anderson the number of cases in the police court has fallen off, while the number of business licenses issued and the post- office receipts and freight receipts have grown. And that’s why Ander son is so well satisfied with prohibi tion.—Anderson Daily Mail. The only honorable and honest way to stop a newspaper is to step into the office and pay up all ar rearage, get a receipt and have your name off the list. To fire your paper back at the publisher marked "re fused” when you owe six months or a year, and never go near the office is not only disreptuable, but super latively dishonest as well.— Orange burg Times & Democrat. OUR ADVERTISERS. 4. We desire to take this means of expressing our appreciation to those Seldom have we ever, seen the great interest U*ing taken in a con test of any kind as is l* ing shown in our great voting contest. It islxdng talked wherever the paper goes, and persons are commenting on the value and beauty, as well as ihe usefulness of our prizes. They are all valuable. The Rock Hill buggy or the New Home 8t*wing machine will pay any one handsomely for a month's work. There are very few |>ersons in this county who are getting $•">. 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. Wv are wil ling to aid the candidates in any way possible to get votps 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, withjthe 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 has received up to date. Of course these are not all who will make the race they are just the advance guard. Nominations will come in rapidly in the next few days. If you are thinking of entering now is the time so that you will hqye an even start. Then you should get in on this thirty-day oilier for new subscribers. You can afford to work for new’ names, and we lielieve we can back up any statement you ; make as to The Press and Standard, j You can assure those whom ><>u ap- j proach that they can surely expet an ; issue every week for fifty-two in a i year. We are no experiment in 1 Colleton’s newspaper w^rld—we | have thirty-two years back of us, and the guarantee that we are stronger today than") ever before, and this is thejkind 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. TION. the financial support of this paper. That it has paid them is evidenced by the fact that they are continuing to use our space. We trust that no one has paid us a cent for advertising who hasfiot had value received for it. We trust our readers are in the habit of reading the ads in this paper, and we would ask that they patronize it the merchants and firms advertising with us, and tell them you are buy- ing because you saw-their ad. Live merchants advertise, and you are surer to get fresh good gooT, by trading with them. * o OUR MAKERS OF LAWS. The delegation representing Col- * ieton county are now in Columbia His , cheerfulness and confidence breeds confidence in his business, and people love tq do business with a cheerful man. This spell of "hard times’’ has about run its course, and should give place to something different something better. If a man tries to say “hard times" at jou cut him off by the time the "hard” gets out of his month, and substitute “good” or “better.” Be a booster? Talk things up and not down. Let’s get together and make things hum in Walterboro and Colleton as never before. Hide your little hammer and w’ave the banner of prosperity— the exercise wdll be as good, if not better- and start today’! ALWAYS KEEPS A BQULEINTH HOUSE - v “About ten days before Ohristmas I got mj hand hurt 10 badly that I had to stop work right in the busy time of the year,” says Mr. Milton Wheeler, 2100 Morris Ave^ Birming ham, Ale. At first I thought I would have to have my hand taken off but someone told me to get a bot tle of Sloan’s Liniment and that would do the work. The Liniment cured my baud and I gladly recom mend it to everyone.” Mr. J. E. Matthews, proprietor of St. James Hotel, Corming, Ark, says:—“Mv finger was greatly inilam- ed from a fish sting and doctors pro nounced it blood poisoning. I used 1 several applications of Sloan's Liui ment and it cured me all right. 1 will always keep a bottle of ISloan’s Liniment in my house.” Mr. J. P. Evans of Mt. Airy, Ga, says--“After being afflicted for three years with rheumatism I used Sloan’s Liniment, and was cured sound and well, and am glad to say I haven’t been troubled with rheumatism since.
