Tuesday next is the day for the election of trustees for the Waiter- boro school district. The election will be held in one of the offices down stairs at the court house, and everyone should vote. The require ments for voting are registration certificate'and tax receipt for 1908. It is rumored that a ticket or per haps two tickets have been prepared and w ill Ik? voted for. The impor tance of the, selection of our best men is very evident, and we trust no personal prejudice will blind the judgment of the voter. If Waiter- boro is to take her place at head of things educational in Colleton her schools must be wisely governed. W’e shall await with interest the de cision of the sovereign voter next Tuesday. The Educational .Campaign Com mittee has arranged to hold an educational mass meeting here Saturday, August 28. as the follow ing letter will explain.

Something new in the way of Bargain Sale of Sum ner Dry-Goods. - It is this way we found that we had sold out every bit of our summer stock of Dry Goods and so had nothing for a summer clearance sale. 1 Towever, a large dry go- <ls house in Savannah has shipped us two bales of Lawns and Organdies with the request that we sell them out regardless of price.

NOTICE OF ELECTION. that an town of Dae notice ta hereby given election will be held in the Walterboro on Friday, July 23. accordance with the following resolu tion or ordinance of the Town Council of the town of Walterboro to determine whether or not the town of Walterboro *haM iasue bonds to the amonnt of twenty thouaand dollars for tha purpose of erecting a new gchooi Building in said Town: BK IT ORDAINED by the Intcndent REPLY TO CARD OF EXPLANA TION. I Hid not think I would reply to TO DRINK IK DISGRACEFUL. To drink is one of the most dis graceful acts of ones life. Boys should never take the first drink, but should remember they have a soul to save and that Jesus Christ will not take a drunkard into his Kingdom. The liquor habit is a dire and aw ful curse, and any plan lor either controlling or abolishing it is well worthy of consideration. The trouble, however, is that to every two or three who can drink moder ately, there is one who is weak by nature anti who is going to make a beast of himself, and go to a drunk ard's grave, ruining possibly half a dozen other lives in his downward course. 1 think a man should gladly sacri fice anything, any pleasure, if it could save his brother from tempta tion and ruin. Life is as a steward ship; the dollars we have, the bodies we have, the talents we have, any thing we possess should never be re garded as entirely our own, but held for the general good of society, Every man should be God like, for it was in the image of God that we were created, and when we have rizen to higher and nobler things, as we shall, we shall become Goa like again. And then there will be no need of prohibition laws, nor for whiskey either; for men will neither need the restraint of the one, nor the stimulation of the other. Our crazy competitive system drives thousands of people into the saloon business, and thousands of others into the drink* habit, while the government owning things, would have the opposite effect. As long as there is profit in liquor local option will not stop its sale; 1 say stop the liquor habit. It would stop two thirds of the crimes that are committed; it would make better fathers; better sons, and above all. better citizens. Be careful in choosing companions. Seek only the brave and the true. Stand by a friend when in trial, ‘ Never changing the old for the new. When by false friends you are temp ted. 9 The tast of the wine cup to know.

Wichman & Son as Mr. Rentz and I am pleased to tell Reader, as he calls himself, that 1 raise my stock out of my corn- house and I do not depend on ing my stock on Mr. Rentz’s pine straw. One great failing of Mr. Reader, or I should have called him smart alert, is trying to run some body else’s business and fails to tend to his own business, if he has any. I will admit that Mr. Rentz did not July, Umiu, upon the qaeslion of is&ning the kaid bonds for the purpose aforasaid each election to be condacred in ac- rais-1 cordance with the provisions of law. That such election shall be held at the City Hall on the day aforesaid and the We exjiected Walterboro to have been well represented but were dis appointed. Charleston was repre sented by a good many, also \Vad- malaw Island by a goodiy number of her fair daughters and worthy sons. After dancing a while the Hon. D. C.^Sanders gave an address on the subject of Masonry, in his usual forceful and graceful flow of words; but then he had a theme worthy of fluent words to discourse on,—Ma sonry. He repeated a beautiful poem which nearly made me catch my breath, for when he repeated the words and made certain gestures, “And this, and this, and this”, whv polls shall open iherelor at eight o’clock I thought I had caught on to a’lot of L?:; Zi C :;L%‘' t0 Z 2*2.

Mr. Reader is mis- bailots the city C lerk is hereby directed for when I realized it I simply had nothing to count on. His speech was simply fine. Dr. Breaker then gave a short talk on the same sub ject, which also gave much pleasure. After dinner we had the pleasure of listening to our esteemed editor, W. W. Smoak, Jr., who gtive a fine taken in his statement. Mr. Reader ! talk on education and improvement said that he found the majority of qualified under ihe law sha 1 be Allowed on ,5 1 " iy P° ,n ts- Well perhaps the next time will be invitations from the Eastern Star, who are quite enthusiastic over their chapter and are getting on nicely. We hope for them a bright future. If all the dear little tots and children live to grow up the Lodge will not lack in numbers. The truck business is a thing of the past, and the corn waves its graceful blades in the place of truck. Cot ' ‘ the anti-stock law men had but a little or no land for their stock to i feed on. Take Colleton county as a 1 whole, the anti-stock law men have five acres of land to the stock law 1 men one. I wonder if Mr. Reader is raising stock fer the anti-stock law men? I guess he is not, for he has not got enough land not under fence to raise a goose on. I am sorry that Mr. Rentz has lived to this ripe old age to find that the commandments teach to take peoples hogs up in the public road. I will leave it to the readers of the paper whether or not the command ments teach to head a man’s hogs in the road and shut them up and charge 50 cents a head for them. If this is right I have nothing more to say. A. L. Carter. Smoaks, June 24. FRUIT TREES CONCORD NURSERIES, CONCORD, - . ^ N. C. On* of tb* oldest and most re liable Nurterie# in the South ern States.
