The Good Road question over shadows everything else in Colleton just now. If someone doesn't mind the l^aw ind Order League will be in the same'class as the Civic League. We agree with the Hon. D. L. Smith in his b 11 to facilitate the early closing out of the affairsof the dispensaries in the dry counties., Contributions are coming mighty singly to the Confedei Monument fund we are trying to raise. What is the troubl , friends? Do you not think we should have the (Monument? Is there not a little feeling of gratitude for the unselfish devotion of the Confederate soldier >to the principles for which he fought four long years undergoing ‘hard ships and privations of which we know little? Do vou not think it will make better citizens of our young men to show them that we do not forget such deeds of heroic sacri fice for principle? An imposing Monument on the most public place in the Connty the Court House square will do much to foster pa triotism and teach history. Friends, let us not delay, but contribute now^ “Yes, we love you still in Dixie! You and your Sweethearts, too. For your sweethearts are our moth ers. Can you doubt that we arc true? Though your ranks now fast are melting And the Stare and Bars are furled. Yet the South will live forever In the glory of your world.” We desire to thank that kind friend who commended us for the editorials in last issue on the Civic League and the l.aw and Order League. We trust the legislature will pass the State-wide prohibition bill. In Colleton we could be having almost complete prohibition if it were not for Yemassee and Charleston.

The Mayor of Brancville, J. B. Williams is to be commended^ for the stand he take-in trying to wipe out the illegal sale of liquor in his town. Aaron (i. Yarn was convict ed there Thursday for illicit selling of liquor and Mayor Williams gave him the maximum fine $100. DOTS FROM ASHTON. Ashton, Jan. 22,—Special- Our Sunday School seems to be progress ing very nicely under the manage ment of our efficent superintendent. We have a large attendance every Sunday, and we will have preaching twice a month now by the Rev. G. A. Martin of Lodge. Miss Della Saunders of Stokes is visiting her sister, Mrs. C. W. Mc Millan of this place. The many friends of Mr. Joe Preacher were saddened to hear of his death, which occurred at *Varn- ville sometime ago. His remains were laid to rest in the Cross Swamp cemetery last Sunday afternoon, Jan. 16. The Rev. Mr. Watson, pas tor of the Cross Swamp church, con ducted the funeral services in the presence of a large crowd of rela- j lives and friends. Miss Clytie Saunders, who is en gaged in teaching the Cedar Branch school, spent last Saturday and Sun day with Misses Florrie and Ollie Jones of Ashton. “Guess Who.” Large size Agate Ware pans, regular 65c, at 45c. dish Large No •» Yellow Mixing Bowls, always sold for 65c, at* 40c.

AT CLOSE OF BUSINESS JAN. T9rJ910. S PEAKING of CONFIDENCE calls to our mind very forcibly the condition of our Bank, of which we arc judly proud, anil t.gives us pleasure to submit the within statement: A CAKCIDATE. The Colleton delegation, particu larly Mr. Smith, has started out with a view to doing something, and there can be no objection to any of the bills introduced. If they wish to immortalize themselves as legis lators let them pass the road law proposed in these columns some time ago. Permit us to suggest,!. Means. Legislators, that it is time to introduce the bill—* €gW ‘more days and it will be too late. Delays are dangerous. <> : v 1 ""We commend the interest being taken generally in the Mbject ot good roads by the people 'of oar county.
