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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

the exercise wdll be as good, if not

“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.
Aly leg wife badly swollen from my
hip to my knee. One-half a bottle
took the pain and swelling out.”
