To the Cotton Growers of Colleton County: — Entered •« the Waherboro, 8. C , Poet office m second-claee mitter March ,• 18TS, tinder Act of March 3. 1*79 WEDNESDAY. JAN. 27. 1909. Here will The Press and Standard the people’s rights maintain. Unawed by influence and unbribed by train. Have you voted yet? How a!»out that new school build- intr for Walterboro? How alout Colleton’s Argicultural Hiffh School? We need if. The oat crop in Colleton is very fine- thanks to the mild winter. No, Susama. the flowers that bloom in the sprint?, do not know it is not May. Cotton is advancing, but we hope the farmers of this county will not- be fooled thereby into planting a big crop of this fleecy and fleec-ing staple. Walterboro does not need two policemen on duty in the day time - one would be ample. We do, how ever, need one on duty at night, to kind of watch out for fires, prowlers etc. W’hy not divide the force mak ing one day policeman and one night policeman? It was our pleasure recently to visit the county seat of South Car olina’s baby county—St Matthews.in Calhoun county. We were very favorably impressed with what we saw in this thriving baby county seat, Th6 paople there realise the a value of “team work M -and they are doing things- “Not dreaming them all day long.” On every hand you hear men talk of the^advantages of the new county, and how it is going to show the state how to grow and advance. It is a clean up-to-date town St Matthews is, and a building boom has just set in. Bonds will be voted to erect a $50,000. jail and court house the town gives $20,000. to this end. Bonds have already l>een voted to erect a modern school building,* and a number of private building enter prises are under way. Our predic tion is that more will be heard of St. Matthews in the future. The town has a magnificent back country to draw from. We would be dee-lighted to have Walterboro take the St. Matthews fever for just one year. In that time we are sure that death trap of a school house would be torn down at least and a modern school built n besides some other needed improve ments. Mr Citizen and Mr Busi ness man, try to get inoculated with the town boom germ, and lets “do something.” 1 have received an order from an Exporter for 150 • bales of good middling cotton and 75 bales of the lower grades. This man needs the cotton to fill a contract and he needs it badly. He has made me a liberal ofter if 1 can furnish the goods. To all who have cotton to sell now I ofter top notch OK prices until the above contract is filled. Yours truly, : t T. II. SHAFFER, COTTON BUYER. NT TIM TEN TRASH HEATING JL - ^ ^ 2 In Stock, which must go Regardless of WILL IT FROST IN MAY? In an interesting article recently appearing in print, it was said that the world this winter was three mil lion miles nearer the sun than it was last January, having swung itsorhit. and would not regain its usual ra tion, until this May. This authority on astronomy submits that this ac counts for the mild winter «we ar^ having. This is a very interesting fact, and is well worth knowing: Greenville News. . There are two lessons the town would do well to learn from Monday night’s fire. One it the neccewity of immediately providing fire fight ing aparatus in abundance at what ever coat; the other la that everyone ahould make all necessary sacrifice of time and men to train a crew to handle the aparatus when provided. We are very fortunate in having a matt possessing the qualifications necessary to be a leader of this team —a man fear lev and trained in " the work—chief F. S. Dixon! Let us uphold his hands. It is getting about the time of year now when numerous boys will go from the school room to the field and will remain away from school till next fall. To such as are forced to stop school for this or any other purpose, we would urge not to stop studying. Every day should find you in possession of some new fact; your mind should be broadened and enlarged by the addition of new data—no matter whether it he a rule of grammar, tne spelling of a word, the location of a city, a his torical fael or what not. No day should be.blank. In after life the boys who will then be the men will be Bought after for what they know Knowledge k power said a wiai philosopher, and never has knowl edge poseessed more power than now. Thisisanaceod education— if mind and hand training^ and the boy or giri who grows up in ignor- anee is to be |Med. Sot boys, if you cannot longer go in hand, so hard ft*d an hour a day MR BRYAN. A western banker who has, in three presidential campaign^, voted against William J. Bryan, recently) remarked: “While 1 do not agree' with Mr Bryan in the policies he ad vocates, I am free to say that I re gard him as the most important citi- zen in the country today. As an ever ready protestant against the encroachments of s]iecial interests he is rendering invaluable service to o the country and hut for him some of these special interests would run away with us.” This was certainly a high tribute from a political opponent and the correctness of the tribute will, "we believe, be generally approved. That this is the common opinion may explain the oft repeated remark, that although defeated for-the presi dency three times, Mr Bryan’s hold upon the American people today is stronger than ever. It is safe to say that thousands of men who voted against William J. Bryan confidertlv look to the de feated candidate for the presidency for some measure of protection from imposition by the beneficiaries of the trust system. In this view, then, Mr Bryan oc cupies 1 -so far as public interests areconcerned—a position second in importance only to that of the presi dency. As a great Commorer in whose purity of purpose men of all parties have absolute confidence, William J. Bryan has a great opportunity to render service to his fellows. That he will grasp this opportunity no one will doubt. He will do it from the lecture platform; he will do *it in newspaper interviews; but best of all he will do it through his own publication—The Commoner—a paper that is now steadily forging to the front because through its columns the American people may continually keep in touch with Mr. % Bryan’s opinion upon public ques tions and with hid efforts for the public welfare. Mr Bryan announces that he has again atfumed editorial charge of The Conuaanar and that\tt will give active, personal attention to the edi- torinl department. Men of all political partita have a deep and abiding intoreat in the fight which Mr Bryan is to wage through the columns of The Com moner. It is a fight for the public welfare; a fight againt the encroach ment by special interests upon the public interest; a fight for the protec tion of the men who, in professional office, on the farm, in counting room of in workshop give honest toil for their livelihood. It is a fight to preserve popular government as the fathers founded it. v In the initial number of The Com moner printed in 1901 Mr Bryan said: ‘The Commener will be sat isfied if, by fidelity the people, it proves its right to the name which p 0 has been chosen.” The Commoner j o has proved its right to the name and because it is giving this proof in abundance The Commoner deserves m the support of the American people. Feeling that a wider circulation of The Commoner in our section will materially advance the democratic cause, and that a large m r cent of our readers, as well as others who should be regular readers of our pa- NOTICE OF HIGH SCHOOL ELEC HON.
