Honesty is the best policy. We are publishing this week the report of the county hoard of pom- miwoners for the month of August. This will be interesting reading for our subscribers and we trust that every item will be carefully Kcruti- niacd, and if any of them are not as they should be, we are sure the board will be glad to have their at> tention called to those that are wrong. If you believe work done in your community has been charged for excessively, or the labor has not been performed, it is your duty to let it be known. If you do not give thii information then you should keep quiet and not criticize the board or any member of it. Let us all be fair about this, andfremember the (k>lden Rule. « AMatehr Pune/ The dishonest man flourishes at times as the green bay tree and seems to prosper, but alas! the time is sure to come when he will suffer keenest remorse, and he will be sorry for his ill-gotten gain. How many men who have thus pfosjHTed would gladly go back to the days of their youth and in poverty and olwcurity go again over their lives, rather than in dishonesty live in pomp and splen dor. This though is suggested by the sorrow and suffering caused the innocent loved and loving ones, as well as the remorse of the guilty, in the recent proceedings against those who prospered in the days of the State dispensary and whose sins have found them out. They are now pay ing the price no matter what the verdict of the jurors. mittee in charge of the arrange ments. As a rule people put off doing things to aid in a public enter prise such sn this till the last minute which makes it very hard for those in charge. Persons who intend making exhibits should notify Supt. o Kershaw at once, so he can arrange for them. Another thing, a good many of those who subscribed stock have not paid their 50 per cent assessment, we are told, and it is'necessary that this should be received at once. The County Fair is going to be a grand success, but it will be grander if ever} one would join hands and work to make it so. COLLETON BAPTIST S. S. CON VENTION TO MEET.

We would Kke to have correapon- , dentTromJevery school in the county, and will gladly publish all honor rolls, programs, school news when ever sent in. In exchange far an occasional letter from any school in the county, we will be glad to send the school The Prem and Standard free while it is in session. We Would suggest that the teachetf have the pupils in the higheiferades to write up the news of the school or commu nity as an exercise in composition, selecting the best and sending to us once a week or every two weeks. This was done in several schools last session and proved interesting read ing. and very helpful to the school. So if you wish|to start a reading table with The Press and Standard send us a card and your school will be entered. Another suggestion to live teach ers over the county, and all teachers are live teachers; why not start a reading room in your school? An entertainment, or 5 cents a . scholar, will give you funds with Which to subscribe to a daily newspaper for aix months, and rhaybe several maga zines. These could be read at re cess, or taken home at night by the pupils in turn. Or perhaps, the teacher could read the daily paper «nd each morning give ten minutes to reading some leading news article, or a brief summary of the news of the world,. Cultivate the leading k f i ^ THE OOrNTY FAIR. m<oth ’ho* m the CmtrJHir/ This will be J bfey ®onth for the members of the com- SOLICITOR PEURIFOY TRIUMPHS. Solicitor Peurifoy called the bluff of Mayor Rhett and The News and Courier in reference to thejndict- ments against violators of the dis pensary law in.Charleston. There is consternation in the camps of the “Broad Street gang” over the out come of the well laid plan of the Mayor and his colleagues to entrap the young solicitor. “The fowler got caught,’'and now those who so recently and blatantly paraded as enforces of the law have been forced to take a back seat. The presiding judge has sustained the solicitor at every point. It was shown clearly that it is not the duty of the solicitor to turn detective and hunt up evi dence, but that his duty ends when he prepares indictments in the regu- \ lar way and uses every endeavor to protect the interests of the State. We have no doubt that Solicitor Peurifoy will do his full duty, and one hears everywhere that he is mak ing good. Of course no one for a moment believes thatch Charleston’s Mayor really desires the dtapersary law en forced, and hia recent moves were only a fiasco. Before trying to con demn the solicitor for alleged faiuure to do his duty, the Mayor should “sweep before his own door.’’. We should like to have him quote the Statute giving him authority to im- V pose a fine of $50 every three months on notorious blind tigers, and then protecting them from his raiding squalst Truth of the matter is, we do not believe Solicitor Peurifoy would exceed his duty if he were to hand out indictments against the Mayor and chief of police for failure to do their duty, and for flagrant violation of the law.

Seldom has a little thing created more interest over the county than the prize word puzzle being run in the advertiaement > of' the Brown Furniture and Hardware Company in thia paper. It has overshadowed the Cook-Peary controversy, the County Fair, and even the price* of cotton ia not in it, in comparison. Everyone you meet asks “How many tunes can you make “Shop et Browne’?” , Hundreds of answers have come in, the numbers ranging from 1 to 1500. Mr Brown expresses himself as being delighted with the interest taken, and is glad to receive ^ any number of “guesses.” He has chosen a committee of disinterested persons t«» decide upon the winner. A noted i.iathematidan end one of the )ea<Hag educators of the State has furnished the correct solution end an.wer.
