Here will The Press and Standard
the people’s rights maintain,
Unawed by influence and unbribed
by gain.
THANKS.
We desire to congrjttulate the
Calhoun Advance in its improved ap
pearance in the short time since the
re-organization of that paper. Of
•ourse it has to succeed because it
kas a Colleton man as joint editor
and proprietor J. C. Hiott, Esq.
Truly the Advance will continue its
advance in improvement.—Press and
Standard.
If we succeed in accomplishing as
much for our county as The Press
and Standard has for Colleton, we
will feel that we have been well re
warded for our labor.-Calhoun
Advance.
shall feel its benefits and encourage
ment. It will help net only existing
schools, hut will encourage the
organization of new school districts,
where it is now felt to be impractica
ble to sustain a school for even one
hundred days.
We hope the benefits will be so im
mediate and so clear that in the
course of a very few years not less
than $150,000 will be given annually
for the common school extension.
Mr Garris is to be congratulated
upon b?ing the author of a measure
that is full of possibilities.—The
State.
We have been made to feel that
there is something in running a
newspaper afterhll. We have had
the pleasure of writing receipts for
■early twenty-five good friends of
ours, and each one had a good word
to say for the Hearld. Were you in
the bunch?—Sumters Herald.
We trust our contemporary does
not mean that these are the only re
ceipts it has had to write. Why in
one day recently we had the pleasure
of writing fifty and fory-three of
them were new.
PETITIONS BEING CIRCULATED.
Petitions are being circulated in
Warren township, Colleton county,
asking the governor to order an elec
tion on the question of this township
annexing itself to Bamberg county.
We understand that the petitions
are being very generally signed, and
k is believed that a large majority
of the voters of that township will
petition for the election. We will
be glsd to welcome the good people
«f Warren township into Bamberg
county, and we believe they are
coming—Bamberg Herald.
Here comes the Herald again re
viving the petitions of Warren
township to go to Bamberg. Of
course Bamberg county would be
glad to have Warren township—any
county would, but will it? We
should be glad to have our corres
pondent there give us the facts in
this case so we can know what is
doing.
THE COMMON SCHOOL EXTEN
SION.
Representative C. W. Garris’ bill,
carrying an appropriation of $20,000
to aid the poorer of the rural schools,
and to encourage those poor school
districts to help themselves, has be
come an act.
This is a start in the i ight direc-
y *
lion, and we believe much good will
come of it. The fund is to be
available only for those schools
whose regular funds enable them to
keep open less than one hundred
days. The maximum amount that
any school may secure is $100, and
aid is given only when the school
district raises by special effort an
amount equal to that taken from
the State fund.
Four hundred school districts, by
raisieg $50 extra each, can secure $50
each from this fund, and will thus
lengthen the school term of each by
from two three months.
The appropriation gives direct
help, but it does much more by en
couraging the people in the poorer
districts to^tnake sacrifices for their
school in order to get this State aid.
Those sacrifices will give them
greater interest in education.
If the phm is found to work well,-
t is not Improbable that this system
will be extended from year to year
IN RE NEW SCHOOL.

The people of Walter boro have an
opportunity now that comes but sel
dom to the people of any community
and that opportunity is the change
from the rude, antiquated building
in which the young receive their
training to the more progressive
structure in keeping with modern
methods of mind training. Contem
poraneous experience demonstrates
the wisdom of making this change.
Every community in the State, with
even less wealth and population than
ours, has long since relegated the
old wooden school to its proper po-
sition in the rear and has erected a
substantial brick budding equipped
with the devices science has shown
to be proper adjuncts to the deve
lopment of the child mird. Will
Walterboro lag behind? Are the
minds of our children less bright
than those of other communites?
Are their opportunities for intelli
gent and intellectual effort 4nore
meagre than those of other children
in other communities? In truth,
will not the boy and girl educated in
our old shack be forced in manhood
and womanhood to compete with the
boy and girl who have had these
better opportunities? Then what
about the responsibility of parents
and school officials who allow these
conditions to exist?
o
We are not asking an impossible
or an impractical thing when we
ask that our people tear down the
old and build a new. In fact it is
the only wise thing to do. We have
the ability—we have the need, then
let us build according to onr ability
and need. Let us perform the duty
circumstances has thrust upon us
with a willing mind and a ready
hand.trusting to our faith in the
future of our town and county to
justify the expenditure—and it will*
*
Let us look at a few of the ad van-
i* *
tages we will enjoy from having an
up-to-date school building. In the
first place, teachers can return
double-fold the amount and kind of
instruction. When it is no longer a
part of their duty to see that the
physical comforts of pupils are look
ed after as to light, heat, ventilation,
seats etc. they can devote more time
to the actual work of teaching, and
the pupil will also respond more
freely and with a better quality of
work. So much for the intellectual
side. Now, as to the ethical or
moral; a child unconsciously'assimi-
l ites the environments in which it is
placed, and a lower degree of moral
stamina will be developed when
these surroundings are not what they
should.- be. This fact has been
known, and we see, “ therefore,
earliest childhood surrounded with
bright pictures, toys, music and love.
The school period is equally import
ant.^ This is. consequently, one of
the greatest benefits a new school
will give.
«•
Then, from a pure “worldly”
point of view—we can secure $700
from the High School fund just as
soon as We can use it. Again, it will
make Walterboro the educational
center of the county and will draw a
patronage from over the county. A
great number of boys and girls go
off every year to preparatory schools
in order to get ready for college, and
w ith this High School feature ad
ded, they can come to Walterboro.
This will pay in dollars and cents
f; ** «*
and will bring trade to town.

F. V. LIPPMAN, Savannah, Ga..
Dear Sir: —
Tor many years I consumed much medicine, and in fact tried every means in
my po'ver to get cured of that terrible disease, rheumatism, which had undermined
my health. I visited Hot Spplhgs, Ark., without gaining relief, and at last ht. sheer
desperation I took P. P. P. (Lippman's great remedy), and was in a short time en
tirely cured. In the eight years since that time I have not had a symptom of rheu
matism.

Yours truly.
Nicholas Lang.
So, there is no doubt that a new
school in Walterboro will pay. All

honor to the gentlemen who are
pushing this bond issue. You are
benefactors and unborn generations
will rise up and do you honor, if you
succeed.
People of Walterboro, the eyes of
the country are on you—you must!
