Severaj people hove been to the editor of The Standard to tell him to hit these millponds, tow r n trash and general uncleanness that is likely to breed disease. Now, why these people want to hide behind a poor, weakly news paper man, is a mystery. ^.The col umns of this paper are open. If youlcnow of anything that might cause disease, hit it yourself we’ll print it for you.—Saluda Standard. •X 1 STOCK LAW DISCUSSION. We will begin in our next issue a series of articles on the Stock Law. These articles will give a history of the law in this county and are from the pen of Jos. M Moorer, a young student of law in the offices of Pad gett and Lemacks. Mr Moorer has completed the course prescribed for admission to the bar, and will go up for examination in November. These articles are carefully and ably prepared, and contain many interesting facta and deductions. We bespeak a careful perusal on the part of our readers. WHY NOT A CURFEW? Already we have written about the great danger of allowing young boys to be out alone at night, Par ents in Walterboro seem to be very <u ^ trusting—many of them seem to have no supervisory control over their children either in the day or at night. Any night one can see small boys on the streets alone—boys so small they should be at home in bed, or at least guarded safely within the portals of home. Do parents •whose children thus spend their evenings really know the dangers their child is facing. Unfortunately there but one time when character is formed and that is in youth—early is youth, and habits then made are hard to break. The mischievous badness of the small boy of any town is proverbial, and Walterboro boys are no excep tion. They do many thoughtless things, and many things calculated to smut their characters. These things are unwittingly done per haps, and may be only the result of an exhuberance of animal spirits, but it is wisdom to hold these animal spirits in check or at least direct them in right channels, The worst place a boy can be at night is alone on the streets or in company with other boys a little older. Mothers and sisters what are vou doing to make home a pleasant place for your son and brother to vend the evenings? Is the boy treated in yotvhomeasif he were a nuisance and good only to bring in water/ wood and run on errands? Girls ars always vary nice to other girls. M how about their own? conversation was on the subject of Sunday school and church- work, and the causes of our seeming lethargy and carelessness in carrying on these great works. We have been thinking of this remark, and we wonder„ if this is not a true statement. Sam Jones said that when he went to Cartersville he an nounced that the town was not large enough to hold him and the saloons that one or the other would have to *'git”-and the saloons “gitted.” This was the result of leadership and eternal opposition to wrong. We shall make this assertion: There is no condition in Colleton county that could not be improved, no wrong that could-not be righted, •*3 if all the ministers in the county should unite in a crusade against it, v> and go about righting it with the same determination as characterized Sam Jones in his efforts to rid Cartersville of the saloons. If this be true, conditions in Col leton count} are either very good or we lack '‘leadership.” Are there no wrongs to be righted, no conditions to be improved in Colleton county? There are. But, perhaps, we have gotten ac customed to waiting for our minis ters to do all our religious and moral work. The majority of our clergy men are comparilively strangers to conditions in this county, and are therefore handicapped in any work they might attempt. Then, again, it is unfortunately true thstt the work of many in the ministry has become a kind of professional work, done pretty much as a lawyer or a doctor or an architect would do work, with a view to the personal success attained—in other words for the money there is in it. It is so easy to drift, too. Leadership re quires manhood -an ability to • pull against the current or to make a current if need be. In this county are needed leaders—not only in ministerial work, but as Sunday school superintendents and teachers, as laymen, as workers for moral stamina—truth, honor and virtue— t as leaders in educational matters, in progressiYeness. We have these leaders, but they are not yet thoroughly alive to the work they are called to do. We need men who can stand up and say to others: Thau art the man. Not alone when convincing him of wrong done but of his powers as a leader of men. Where are our leaden? direction than a campaign of pub licity—of advertising, if you will. We realize that this paper has one of the requisites necessary to make advertising pay and that is circula tion. If it does any good to let peo ple know what one has to sell, or wants in a' business or professional way then we are in a position tq do that—our paper goes into more homes in Colleton county than it or any other paper has ever done be fore. We are proud of this fact. Now, this being true, it will pay business men not only in Walterboro but elsewhere in the county, to use space in this paper. We sell it very reasonably. In order that business men in dif ferent parts of the county may know the number of homes in their im mediate Neighborhood their adver- me soove named manager* thall report tisement would reach we shall give w“h't£ NOTICE OF ELECTION.

It is so sad and heart-breaking when death knock* at the door of a precious home and calls for a golden link, which is a darling little babe. After three weeks of suffering Hale Carrie, the four months old baby of Mr and Mrs Walte^r K Ritter took its flight to a better world. All that loving hands and a faithful phyaician could do was done to help the little one, but to no avail. Qod in hfs wise providence saw-it host to take her in His peaceful fold, while yet so youngs innocent and pare. T’wt* so hard to, part with this little one, “But Thy Will be <lon6, not ours.” ‘ . The funeral services were con ducted by the pastor, Rev Mr Rhode, at Ebernezer Cemetery on May 13th in the preeenoe of a large concourse of sorrowing rela tive* and friends.— The people of this community are in deep sympathy frith the bereaved parents in this their sad hoar.
