ALWAYS II ADVAICL PabHtbad •vary Wadaaaday. at Waltcrboro, Q, C. v Ratered at the Walterboro, 8. C., Poetoffice •• *econd-c'aae matter March t, 1879, under Act of March 3, 1879 WEDNESDAY. MAR. 10. 1909. Here will The Press and Standard the people’s rights maintain. Unawed by influence and unbribed by gain. One thing about the Presidential inaguratiotto—one lasts four years. Mr LaFaye came Friday bringing with him plans for the new school building for Walterboro, which if adopted will give us the building we need. Elsewhere in this issue will be found cuts of these drawings. They are worthy careful study, a study which it is hoped will result in many voluntary signatures to the petitions. There are four petitions being circulated praying for a bonded issue of $20,000 to erect a graded schools building. These are in the hands of Messrs R. H. Wichman, W. J. Taylor, H. W. Black, Jr. and A. K. Beach, why not hunt one of these and sign it? It would be a great and welcome surprise to any of these gentlemei. But why should you no: hunt the petition? It will benefit all , alike to have a good school building. The News and Courier Rhd The State have been saying a great deal recently about tne advisability of passing an anti-kissing law, as there is danger in.the transmission of micrabes through the kiss. These newspapers claim there is just as much reason and common sense in passing such a law as in passing a law prohibiting the sale of liquor. We beg to take Issue with these distinguished papers. If, as they argue, kissing is an intoxicant, and the persons who indulge arc, there fore, intoxicated, they must admit that it is a kind of intoxication which is very mild in its effects—no man so intoxicated would think of profan ing the air with vile oaths, or going out to “paint the town red.” Another thing; no matter how kiss- intoxicated a man is he is not going .out and invite his fellows in to “take a drink with him.” Nay, Nay, Mr Editors, rail not against the kiss-in toxicant lest you convict yourselves of disappointment and an incapa- o bility of becoming so intoxicated. A recent Act of the legislature introduced by a Colletonian, Hon. C W Garris, provides that any school which does not run five months in a year may secure aid from the State for additional months by raising a certain fluid which will he duplicated by the State. Thus a school mining four months may secure funds to run, say, one or two months longer by failing enough to pay half the expense. This is somewhat like the present library law which is doing so m*eb for the schools of the .county CASH CONTRIBUTION. Every subscriber who takes a paper that admits advertising ta its columns, receives the equiva lent of a cash contribution, for were it not for the advertising to help pay for the cost of publish ing the paper, the subscription price would necessarily be two or three times as much . A paper witicse subscription price is $1,£0 would be at least if it had nol advertising patronage, hence ev ery subscriber , virtually gets $,&0 fretn the advertisers. It follows, then, that subscribers thould have a kindly feeling for the advertisers in their paper, and gi^e them the preference in the bestowal of their patronage, for the reason that one good turn deserves another. “PITTSBURGH PERFECT” ELECTRICALLY WELDED PENCES Will stand ordinary as well as hard usa^e.

We are very glad to note the great interest being taken in the organi zation of the farmers in the County into Farmers’ Union*, There is no class of people who live by their la bor in need of a thorough organiza tion more than the farmers, and it is therefore with a special pleasure that we note the fact that the farm ers of this County are uniting them- aelvea into such an organization as the Farmers’ Union. This paper de sires to do all they can to further the interest of such organizations and to that end yre desire to start a Fanners’ Union Column in our next issue, and would urge that the Unions organized appoint some member whose duty it will be to M furnish news of their union for pub lication each week in this Farmers’ Union Column. WILL COLLETON GO DRY? There is considerable speculation over the position Colleton will take on the great moral question of pro hibition. There is no doubt in our mind on this question—Colleton will go dry. Our people are tried of the degradationg, loas of mandood and poverty entailed because of the rum traffic in Colleton. The question of ‘-rtvenoe will qot bother the county, for ohr people hare advanced tor •adofll M> the intellectual ladder to know that doDara made in this way To pay oat mk k poor Mr and Mrs B B Crosby have moved 10 Ruffin where they will mrke their fsture home.
