When we see a young man who is a clerk on a moderate salary in a store, smoking 10 cent cigars and oc casionally going to get his drinks in a saloon, we make up our minds that the young man is spending all he earns. When we see him in addition to these riding about town in a livery rig, we then are satisfied that same young man is stealing from hia em ployer; and it is strange that young men do not know that old business men read them through and through and such young men can never se cure places of trust and responsibil ity.-Gaffney Ledger. THE COUNTY FAIR. It is with pleasure that we note the very great interest being taken all over the county in^the coming county fair. We believe that the fair next fall will be one of the best held in the State. If it is not it will ■pot Ik? the fault of the official head, hut it will be the men who should come to its rescue in the way of moral and financial sup|>ort. The opinion should not get into the minds of any that this is to be any one person’s fair, but that it is to be the county’s fair. To this end every citizen in the county should feel an especial pride in it. Another thing, begin now to get ready for it. Let your exhibits be worth something and a source of pride to you and your neighbors. Those who saw the splendid exhibits df the last fair were very much sur prised that such could have been shown from Colleton. In the matter of horses, the exhibit last year was especially good. The class of hogs, cattle and sheep should be larger this year, and we believe they will be. We besjieak for the management the united efforts of everyone in the county to aid in making this the best fair ever. is u stockholder. It will ap|K-ar, therefore, very imjHirtant that every stockholder in this corporation qual ify himself to take part in the elect ion of its officers. In addition to this it is the duty of these stockhplders to place in office the best available men for these po sitions under the laws of the corpor ation. The capital stock of this corpora tion. according to Auditor Patter son’s books, is about $325,000. To. successfully handle the affairs of this large business requires executive ability of no mean order; therefore, let the stockholders get together and see to it that only the best men are put forward for these official posi tions. ^ The affairs of this corporation are such at this time as to require the services of competent men, and if such are not capdidates, the stock holders should see to it that they become so by Thursday noon. It is important that action be taken now, so register and vote. ( pit n that we cannot see any justice ^**1 <> v.rttien di«r«o», »otl **»rh Hector in.

In^he list of questions used in the teachers’ examination held last Fri day was the following; Wrjtea par agraph of 100 words on some piece of literature recently read. One of the applicants offered the following, which is reproduced here in order to call attention to the very important branch recently required to be tapght in the public schools; “I have just finished reading a book on Agriculture which 1 found very interesting. This book explains fully the soils, plants, implements and other things to be found on a good farm. Though I am a farmer’s daughter^ I knew very little about sqph things until after 1 had com pleted this book; the author brings out his explanations so clearly and interestingly. I now see that Agri culture should be taught in schools as well as any other branch, for it is fully as important, as so many things are to be had from the farm.

Again, Mr Supervisor, give us whole spokes and secure the “well done” of not only Waiterboro and those within a radius of five miles, but of the entire county. We fail to see where those living five miles from Waiterboro should be any more interested, or even as much, aa those living twenty- fiVe miles. Where the former travels five miles the latter has to travel twenty-five miles. It may be, however, that the commutation tax will keep up our roads. There is scarcely any difference between the new and old system of working our roads. Under the former the peo ple paid nothing and did nothing, now they pay nothing and get the money back. Again, gentlemen, give ua whole •pokes. ^ Very truly. Pro Bomo Publico. Williams, May 2. '* * R. F D. CARRIERS TO MEET. Tc the R. F. D. Carriers of Colle ton.

WHAT IS "CANNONISM?” For the purpose of calling atten tion to a wonderful lack of some ! kind in our school system. we desire to reproduce here the answers given at the teachers examination Friday to the question: “What is meant by ‘Gannonism’ as the term is used by newspapers and current magazines of the day?” “When papers or magazines criti cize the government, they are said to Be guilty of Cannonism. ” “Cannonism is a way of flattering different subjects.’^ “The term ‘Cannonism’ is used to exprem the maimer and style of de livery used by Mr. Cannon, the spanker of the House today.** “All the news and happenings gathered Ureal all points and put in tobaraad.** “Cbmioo hai beeg speaker of the reading this book, I want to know everything about plants, ami 1 do kn^w lots more, simply by reading.” We quote the above to call atten tion to the book which tells about the occupation of at least nine-tenths of the people °f this county. We wish every one of these would get a copy of this book and read it.’ It <i makes no difference whether or not you are a school boy or girl, you should read the book. There are fewer persons following the profes sion of agriculture that are techni cally educated than in any other of the sciences. Such should not be. Our farmers should read more, and they are beginning to do so.
