Speaking of industry in Colleton
county, the following joke might be
applied to some of our people. Do
you know any such?

We desire to congratulate the
Calhoun Advance on its improved
appearance in the short time since
the reorganization of that paper.
Of course it has to succeed because
it has a Colleton man as joint editor
and proprietor—J. C. Hiott, Esq.
Truly the Advance will continue
its advanoa in improvement.
The Columbia Record changed
hands Monday. It is now editored by
Jas A Hoyt, who has been, connected
for several years with the News and
Courier bureau of Columbia. Mr
Hoyt decided to publish an after
noon paper in Columbia and took
wise step of buying out the Record.
A good newspaper man,—we can
predict a successful paper.

We hope the “editresses” of
Branchville Journal and the Ab

“heads turned’’ on account of the
fulsome praise being heaped upon
them. Here comes ye editor of the

ARE NEWSPAPERS BAD?
A gentleman made the astonish
ing statement recently that “the
newspapers are the worst things
in tha world.’’ He said it would be
hotter tf there was not one left on
the earth. The statement was made
to the writer and was then and there
disputed. We here and now dispute

Wc are very sorry to note little
animosities that grow up in schools
here and there with no seeming
ground for their growth. Yet some
times these little differences between
patron and teacher cause the patron
to stop his child from ■ school. Poor
little innocept child! What blame
can attach to you, that you are
made fb bear the brunt of some
whim or caprice of parent or teacher!
What a crime against the quality of
manhood or womanhood of that
child! a ‘
Nothing is so silly as these neigh
borhood disputes, and we would
urge patron* of schools to think well
before cutting off the chance of a
child to keep abreast its follows, be
cause of some fancied grievance.
In conversation quite recently one
of the leading truck planters of
Beaufort county said he would like
to see Colleton county in the vicinity
of Writerboro begin to grow straw-
berries. He said our aoil here wi
an ideal one for the growth of this
fruit, and that there was nothing
‘ * .
that would mean more for the town
and county than to have this in
dustry developed. We pass this
remark on with the hope that some
one who owns some of the trawberry
land near town will devote a little of
it to strawberries in order to demon
strate what can be done along this
line. This gentleman said the role
was that any land where our com
mon galiberry bushes grow is consid
ered excellent for this purpose.
He also said the average strawberry
planter cleared from $100. to $1000
per acre on strawberries. This beats
cotton, eh?

RHEUMATISM
the public has a right to know. The
lawbreaker, whether he be murder
er. thief, slanderer or rapist, must
first be brought to the bar of public
opinion. The moral sentiment must
Walterboro needs a new school'
building. This is accepted as a
truism whenever and wherever
stated. To continune trying to
make out with the present building
is a foolish waste of money and
energy, and one which is inexcusable.
This old shack cannot begin to ac
commodate the number of children
who desire to go there. In addition
to this. Inspector W. H. Hand, who
visited it last week, said it would be
impossible for the town to get a
high school with that old building.
Mir Hand is the inspector for the
high schools of the State and conse
quently knows of what he ia talking.
Result, Walterboro loses a possible
9000 or $700 from this fund which
could be hers for the asking if the
town had a building! ,
* During the past week, Mr LaFaye,
an architect from Columbia was here
ter the purpose of going over the
school situation with a view to
assistance to those in-
in getting up a movement

to conduct it decently. The news
paper. even as law and order, must
stand or fall befpre the verdict of
public opinion. A bad newspaper
will ultimately die ter the reason

are several petitions, we are in
formed, going round asking for an
election to bond the town ter $20,000
to erect a suitable building. Mr
LaFaye’s plan contemplates such a
building. It will be of interest to
see a new school for Walterboro if
only on paper. Let us all unite to
make the paper school a real one and
then a High school department in
