Not a dollar invested ther^but’some good comes of it. There is no family like one’s own family, there.2is no wife like one’s own wife; there should be no town like one’s own town, where we live, educate our children, on whose street our babies play, and where we may some day sleep, l/*t the newspapers stand by the town, and let the business men stand by the newspapers, and let us make our home as famous as possible.

The company itself made a most creditable showing, going through ^ the evolutions of close and extended 25r order w ith the precision of veterans. The inspection lasted two hours. The following .Staff officers of the Kegiihent were present and reported to the inspectors. Captain and Com missary I). B. Black, Lieut. J. M. Moore rand Quartermaster Sergeant J. B. Ackerman. The retirement of Major John Black from the command of the Third Battalion has created a vacan cy which will soon have to be filled. This Battalion is made up of com panies stationed at Orangeburg, Walterboro and Winnsboro. It is understood that Capt. E. L- Fish- bume will have no opposition for the majorship and will succeed Major Black. The next meeting of the Super visor and Board of county commis sioners will be held the first Monday and Tuesday of May. At this meet- ing there are some matters of im portance to be transacted, among theae being the decision of the board as to the necessary changes to be made in order to conform to the new ' road law. There are fhoae who be- lieve these changes should already have been made, but the board evi dently desires to consider these mat ters well. We were pleased to pub- 1 lish a card last week from Mr. Platt , in contradiction of the rejiort that he • was opposed to the road engineer. But whether any or all the board t favor or oppose the plan will not change the law, and as public offici als they are bound to obey the law A magnificent opportonity is theirs just now if they measure up to it. We trust they will. CARD FROM MAGISTRATE MEL- LARD. To the editor of The Press and Standard: - I notice in your issue of the 9th inst. in the presentment of th^ Grand Jury they presented me. as magistaale, for incapacity and drunkenness. I don’t know who gave them such information, and in jus tice to myself and to everyone whom it may concern, I ask that you pub- ish in your next issue the following: As to age. I am 60 years old, and never felt the effects of age until seven years ago when I contracted rheumatism and catarrh, < which on several occasiors has forced me to stop business for several days and weeks at’ a time. As to incapacity, my docket is open for inspection at any time, and one that cannot understand the rec ord could hardly understand the pri. iary books used in our common schools. As to the whiskey. 1 was taught when a boy to eat and drink anything that another man could, but never abuse either by excess; which princi ple I adhered to to the present day. The party that instigated the charge as the Grand Jury gave there is a wilful mailicious and dangerous liar. —~ D. W. Mellard. Adams, Run, March 21. O’Riley is coming. Perhaps it has occurred to the average citizen of the town many times that an organization of tJ men into a Business League, a Com mercial Guh or a Chamber of Com merce would be a mighty good thing for the interests of the town. Why is it, then, that such an organisation is not forthcoming? Will not some one take the initiative? 6 Almost every day something hap pens that if properly uaed by the town, would mean much for it in a 1 business way. Just now there is an • especially urgent case that needs immediate attention. The matter ' of extending our railroad to Den mark from Ehrhardt has been pro posed by the Augusta Chamber of Commerce. This would be a splen did thing for Walterboro, and the county at large. Yet Walterboro is not in a position tb do anything ex Cept individually— No concerted ac tion can be taken because thb town has no organisation of business inter ests to take up the proposition and push it The Town Council could do this hut it is very different from the Civic League—it never meets. What dp you say. Mr. citizen? Shall we organize and push this and other matters? but to love her but to praise.” me than premiums given in contests. I 0n Thursday nitfht Mar. 10 the| I wish also to say that 1 watched, re | en t| eg8 hand of death entered the campaign closely and the manner th e home of Mrs B H Beach, of in which it was conducted reflects j^yj^h and snatched our beloved great credit on the editor and his lS j st ,, r She had ♦offered intensely staff, and the judges discharged i for 8evpra | wt , e k 3i an<1 aM that wil-| their duties in a very business like ling hands and loving hearts could do was done, but to no avail. She united with the Evergreen Christian church, a few years ago, and as long as her physical strength would allow, she could be found at her place in church. She was born June, 6 189J, and was married to G C McElmurray Jan. 21 1910. Mrs McElmurray had only been married about six weeks before her death. She leaves a grief stricken hus band. father and mother, five sisters and seven brothers and a host of sorrowing relatives and friends to mourn her loss. But our loss is her eternal gain. Her body was taken to Walterboro on Friday night’s train, and was laid to rest at the Evergreen Ceme tery beside her mother and two sis ters, who preceded her to the bet ter. land several years ago. Mrs McElmurray was 16 years 9 months and 4 days old. . e e She was ever willing and ready to submit to His will, and to serve her loving Savior. She was a loving wife, a kind! daughter a firm and true sister. Mrs McElmurray had just attained womanhood, nobel true and good, worthy the highest esteem of friends and acquaintances. . The funeral services were conduct ed by Rev. Henry Cauthen, and it was beautiful' and impressive and the esteem in which our dear Lot tie was held was attested by the quivering lips and the flow of tears j of those who were in attendance. Those Jwho came with the body were: Mr McElmurray her husband. Mr Hiers father of the deceased, Mr and Mrs B H Beach athd Mr and Mrs Neil Salter. The grief stricken family have the sympathy of the entire* community in this their sad hour. But God in his wisdom took her to dwell with him above where sorrow, sickness, pain and death are feared and felt no more. Lonely the house and sad the heart since our Dear one has gone, but oh’ a brighter home than ours in Heaven is now’ her own. A precious one from us has gone. A voice we love is still A place is vacant in our home which never can be filled. A loving sister. manner.
