Severaj people hove been to
the

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
