Let’s not have any “little men” in Seneca, for they are no ac count to the town.—Seneca Farm and Factor.' To the Sumter Herald: Another of our subscribers has emulated the example of the one previously men tioned, and several months before her subscription expired sent us a renewal for two yean. This sub- acriber, too, is a young, and pretty “Mias”, and that is not all—the young man who claims the privilige of placing a ring on her finger, will win a prize. No young woman who knows a bargain such as getting paper like TheJ’ress and Standard for only $1. per year, will be fooled by any sap headed young man, but we will wager that the “Miss” will be “Mrs” before her subscription expires. o “Are there anymore at home like Mi THEREFORE, be IT ORDAIN ED I bribe lotendant and Wardens of tbe| Town of Walterboro.

They are telling a story of a Col umbia young man who, on the fair grounds with his best girl, stopped at the transfer station and after eat- ing some ice cream that he had ordered, said to the young lady: "It’s pretty good, you’d better yourself some.”—YorkviUe quirer. COLLETON TOO. The following recojnmendation was made lasc week by the Dor chester Grand Jury, and it is so op portune that we refer it to the Col leton Grand Jury for similar action. We recommend also that the County Board of Commissioners have placed at the junction point of all of the main public roads, within three months from this date, permanent signboards telling to what points the said roads lead and the distance to the nearest permanent stopping places, and that the said signboiuils be placed upon substantial poets or trees, the said signboards to be easi ly read from the roadway, and that the contract for placing the said contract be let out by the County Commiauoners to the lowest bidder, if^UR DISTINGUISHED VISITORS? The occasion of our first county DON’T BE A KICKER. If you are a kicker and see the shadows of failure in everything that is propoaed to help the town, for heaven’s sake go into some secluded canyon and kick your own shadow on the clay bank, and give address.2Every citizen of the county the men who are working to build |f possible should be present in honor up the town a chance. One long faced, hollow-eyed, whining, caping. chronic kicker can do more to keep away business and capital from a town than all the drouths, short crops, chinch bugs, cyclones and blizzards combined.—Ex. SUNDAY SC HOOL DEPARTMENT. Elsewhere in this issue will be found the begining of a column to be devoted to Sunday school work in Colleton county. It will be edited by that indefatigable and enthusias tic worker, Miss Ida M. Fishburne, secretary of the Interdenominational Sunday School Association for Col leton county. We trust the editor -**1* * ft of this Department will receive the support of all Sunday school workers in the County. There is no greater work to be done.

The dis pensary in Colleton county will soon be a thing of the past. Only one week more in Walterboro, and three days longer than that at Lodge and Meggett, and with the closing of these dispensaries will end forever the legalized sale of liquor in Col leton county. Amen. Now a new duty confronts every citizen in the county who stands for law and order,[and that duty is to see that the law is enforced and that no liquor can be bought any where in the county. I/et this be one law, at least, that will be strictly enforced. In addition to enforcing a prohi bition law‘there are other duties confronting the members of this League in the county. Look at the bloody finger prints marking in crim son the county’s history. Human life is getting too cheap in Colleton, and it is high time to endeavor to make respect for the law thundered .from Sinai: Thou shalt not kill. This the League, organized for the furtherance of law and order, should do, and this it will do if it performs its mission. By all means let the organization proceed and perform. fair will be made memorable by the visitfof two of our most distin guished citizens—His Excellency, Gov. M. F.

L \W AND ORDER LEAGUE. The Law and |Order League for Colleton county seems to have gone to sleep, or at least to have ceased from active operation. This has been due, doubtless, to'thefact that the dispensaries have been open, the primary object of the League being to enforce a stingent prohibition law. It is hoped that meetings will Sptcisl Charter msy re organize nnder the general laws of the Stale, and when so re-organised their Special Chater shall cease and determine,” and WHEREAS, The General Assembly in pursnance "f the foregoing constitu tional provisions, among other things has provided as follows in Section 1963 Volume 1, Code of Laws. “A ny - Town of more than one thousand and leas than five thousand Inhabitants already char fared which to desirous of eorreuderinf its Charier aad accepting incorporation under this Article, or whom Charter is about to expire, may be incorporated nnder thle Artie e.
