There is no use of marrying if you don’t aim to love your husband better than anybody on earth, for you would want to be going to see your mama every day. Though don’t understand me to say I don’t believe in going to see each other’s parents, for I do believe you should go with him to see his parents and him with you to see your parents. I have known people that thought nobody was as good as their people and they wouldn’t go with their husband to see his people. We do not believe in that at all, and if we are ever forturiale enough to get us a huslmnd we are going to love hi» folks as we do ours or try to, and where there is a will there is a way eh?

JAMES CROSBY DEAD- News reached us Monday of the loaih of Mrs. James Crosby of the Pine Grove section, which occurred Sunday, caused by pneumonia. Mrs. Crosby was sick about a week and her death is an extremely sad one, leaving an aged husband, Mr. “Jim mie” Crosby, who is almost blind. Mrs. Crosby was one of Colleton’s noble Christian women about 62 years old, and loved by those with whom associated. The Interment was at the family burying near bells on gelt, 31 jvtit jurors, and the neces sary court officers present. Calen dar No. 1 was called and numerous cases set for trial. The first case was that of R. E. Causey vs. Snider Lumber Co. This was a suit on note for $400, given by defendant. The first verdict wa« for $400 for plaintiff, which was set aside and a new trial ordered which was had at once, resulting in a ver- 1 diet for plaintiff in the sum of $480 ; which was the amount of note with ! interest. C. C. Tracy represented plaintiff. Defendants were not re presented by counsel. The next case to be tried Was that of Dandridge vs. Nix. a suit by Jas. Dandridgeto recover possession of a tract of 517 acres of land near Round, which was granted by the State in 1843. This suit was started fifteen years ago. and is a question of title. The plaintiff claims that no titles have ever been made, while the defendant’s conten tion is that the land was sold to Mrs. Elizabeth Dodd. Since her death it has passed into the hands of Mrs. E. R. Durant and others. It has been an interesting case. The verdict was rendered late yesterday after noon in f*vor of the defendant. Howell & Gruber represented the i plaintiff. Fishburne & Fishburne, j Col. J. G. Padgett and C. C. Tracy, Esq., the defendant. Today the trial of the case of Emily Taylor vs. A. C. L, R. R. Co., will be entered into. This will con sume possibly a day and a half after which the following eases will be tried, or as far as the week will per mit, in the order named: Kingham vs Colleton Cypreas Co. Finrken-Jordan Co. vs. Ritter. J. C, Guess & Bro; vs A. C. L. Maxcy vs. Key. Carter vs. Colleton Co. W. C. Brant vs. A. C. L. H. W. Black vs. A. C. L. J. J. Padgett vs. A. C. L. In the recent issde 6Y the South Carolina Sunday School Promoter appears the program for the 33rd Annual Convention of the South Carolina Sunday School Association to be held in Rock Hill February 15 17. 1910. The good things of this Conven tion may be made the possession of every school in our county if the various townships will give their co operation in the efforts being made by our county executive committee to secure intelligent representation. Every township should see that it is represented and that it sends the the most capable man or woman possible. Indeed the individual schools should vie in this matter of haviqp the delegate go from its member ship. The increased efficiency of such an one upon his return, and the added enthusiasm brought to the school would more than repay any small outlay in sending. Spedlal. rates will be granted by the railroads and any one desiring will be aecftfded free entertainment during the Convention days. Let us have recommendations from our pastors and officers and any applications from individuals schools will be gladly received by the com mittee. Address Miss 1. M. Fishburne. Walterboro, S. C.

A full MR. WAY FAVORS MONUMENT 1 Editor Press and Standare: I am glad to sec that the question is being agitated again as to the building of a monument to the Confederate soldiers of Colleton County. I was made to fed proud. Wo do not like to speak of those things for fear that we might be misunderstood by some as trying to blow our own horn, but 1 see in other counties monuments have long ago been built. Then why can't Colleton. 1 believe Colleton gave to the Con federacy as good soldiets as wore the grey. Then where is our sons and daughters end our grandchil dren? Is their devotion to their fathers just as dear to them as are others? We shall see. History speak very little of the rank and file of any army. Take the question who made Lee, Jackson, Hampton and others, world-over famous for their military achievements, had it not been for the rank and file, the men behind the guns as soldiers. The Confederate soldier has never had his equal. His enemies some of these times, will have to agree to this and at last his fame will go down in history as the greatest of soldieft, 7 ^ I see agfin th^t something is be ing said about the Sons apd Daugh ters of the Confederate Solders or ganizing tnenmelves into a Camp and Chapter. I have long ago ad vocated such a movement, but to no purpose, but now I hope It will be done. Mr. Editor Can't you head the move Teat? I know you are a busy man, but it is a worthy cause. You ar^young and active and any thing vou take hold of sooner or come to pcm. It will DUTIES OF COUNTY OFFICERS. Briefly stated, the duties of each of these nine officers are as follows: 1. President. To keep up the or ganization, because this is the machinery by which and through which the other officers do their work. If this fails, then all fails.

Secretary-Treasurer: The duty of this officer is to keep fresh infor mation from the Sunday schools and to get a contribution if possible from every Sunday school in the county. The six departmental superintend ents must look to the secretary for information in their respective de partments. The secretary that fails to do this handicaps every other officer. 4. Elementary . Superintendent: It is the duty of this officer to keep herself informed of all th® good things in store for the teachers of children under twelve years of age, and help such teachers to do the best work possible. 5. It is the duty of the Interme diate Superintendent to do a like work for the intermediate teachers. Those teaching pupils between twelve and sixteen years of age. 6.
