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,

COTTON BUYER.

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—

anee is to be |Med.

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-
