Editor Felder of the Dorchester Eagle has returned from New York where he has been taking a course of instruction on the linotype, hav ing purchased a machine. We con gratulate the Eagle on the progresa- iveness of its editor, but we capnot figure out how he did it. We are in receipt of an invitation to atteftd the Sixth Annual Conven tion and Tournament of the S. C. State Firemen’s Association which meets in Sumter June 21—22. Sum ter is preparing for a^gala occasion, and will royally entertain her visit ors. Thf Abbeville Press and Banner issued last week a special 32-page industrial edition for the town and county, which edition is a credit to the editors and the office force. W. W. and W. |R. Bradley are both young and hustling newspaper men, and are to be congratulated on their evidence of pushj and patriotism in getting the great amount of really valuable and interestirig^reading and illustration. think best for the road. I will not put m any claim against the county for it.” You will then come away ahead, for the county will greatly enhance the value of your land and ^our convenience. We must Be patriotic. “INFLUENCE.” Rev. A. P. Boyd is conducting a series of meetings at the Presbyter ian church this week, anticipating his departure for his .new held at Tacoma, Washington. His sermon Sunday morning was “Influence,” and the editor of this paper wishes to bear testimony as to the influence of that sermon. Mr. Boyd is an or- e • ator of ability and is capable of pre senting his thought in a manner that compels attention and conviction, and he is a thinker of such power as to have thoughts worthy of being presented in his masterful style. His sermon will be remembered long by those who heard it. He gave expression to many thoughts we have held are and have been true. Nothing exists but wields an influence, no act is committed, no word spoken but has a bearing on someone. The importance, there fore, of correct living is apparent. We wish this truth could be re alized by everyone who reads this. "It may be,” Mr. Boyd said, “you cannot shine as does that lighthouse in New York harbor which sends its light out for miles, but as the little lamp on the small boat that is going op an unknown and dark stream, let your rays shine.” It is a very important matter that every person in Walterboro and Colleton county be enumerated in the census that has. just been taken. So, if for any reason the enumerator has not counted you, see to it that he gets you counted before the time has passed. We desire to make as good a show as to population as pos sible, and it can only be done if every person is counted. If you re side in Walterboro H. W. DuBois will appreciate your coming to see him at once, if- he has not counted you. Attend to this at once for it is very important. great advances. It had more stud ents the past year than ever before in its history. Many improvements will lie made by next September, such^as a new Science buildjng, a Young Men's Christian Association, Gymnasium and Baths. The health and morals of the students are the first care of the governing authorities. The Univer sity has entered definitely upon a new era of growth, marked by sympathy with the basal interests of the people, and a resolute purpose to serve the whole State. The current High-School move ment has greatly increased the demand for well-equipped men teachers and the salaries t^at they receive. Examinations will be held Friday. July 1st, before the County Board of Education. Applicants should be at least 19 years of age. Write Presi dent S. C. Mitchell, University of South Carolina, Columbia. S. C., for blank on which to apply. MAKE THE ROADS WIDE. Now that Colleton county is to have some good roads made, we wish to emphasize the importance of hav ing this work done well and with a view to the permanency of the work. Let the county authorities see to it that the roads are wide and straight. The main roads of the county should be 30 feet wide between ditches, and nowhere less tha>i 25 feet. tf This is very important just now. With the advent of fgood roads automobiles will multiply, and the roads should be wide enoughjto allow a fractious horse to be driven by without graz ing wheel’s, a>£is the case w ith so many of our roads now. In truth it is impossible*to pass with tfams in many places on every public road in the county.* This should not be. Then, as to the matter of making straight roads, there is an equal im portance here. Figure the amount of lost time each year by travelers on account of crooked roads. It is immense, and now is the time to cor rect this. It is going to cost the Tax payers too much to build permanent roads to lose a foot in distance. Many miles can be saved by making straight roads. This is a matter in which the resi dents and owners of lands adjacent to the roads can aid greatly in ac complishing. When the road forces come to your land go to the engineer and sarto him: “My land runs to inch paint, and while you are work- iagan H eoarider that yon own it, whatever 'changaa you COMMERCIAL ORGANIZATION. The secretary of the County Fair Association recently received a re quest from the Southern Commer cial Congress, Washington, D. C., for a report of this association as a commercial organization We would especially commend to the consideration of those who are interested in the upbuilding of Wal terboro the following letter which was received from the managing di rector. Judging from the recent sign of the awakening in the com mercial life of Walterboro. it would seem very appropriate at this time that some commercial organization be instituted. The following letter speaks for it self. Washington. I). C., May 19, 1910. Dear Sir:—I thank you for your report on the Colleton County Fair Association as it enables me to cor rect my list. You indicate that the business of the Colleton County Fair Association is simply to.give a county fair once a year. This would hardly fall under the classification of a com mercial organization, in the sense of working for town development. While thanking you therefore for the information supplied, I would earnestly recommend to the consid eration of the men of your town the w isdom of forming a commercial or ganization. so That all public spirited men may work together to increase the commercial importance of Walterboro. The most stupendous piece of com icrcial strategy in the history of the nation is now being worked out in the South, and at every point where even a halftlo^on men can pull together.-there should be a commercial organization: first to attend to local development and second, to cx>-operate wvith other or ganizations throughout the South. All these bodies working together will, in a few years, bring about a readjustment of population totals and thus bring the South tb where it should be in relation to \he com mercial leadership of the nation. Very truly yours, G. Grosvenor Dawe, Managing Director. MASHAWVILLE RIPPLES. Mashawville, May 21.—Special: How about The Press and Standard picnic? Isn’t it time we were hav ing it? The many friends of Mrs. G. P. Penny are glad to see her and her little daughter, Cathleen, in their midst again. They arrived here Wednesday and will spend some time with relatives and friends.

Hyme spent last week in Walterboro with her sister, Mrs S. M. Crosby. The many friends of W. N. Lari- sey are grieved to know that he is very ill at his home here. B. 4. NOTICE OF ELECT01N.

He is gone, and your friend has missed the great man that sells medicated glasses that restores sight and cures all diseases from a sprained ankle to a deranged mind. Now you wear the glasses, if sat isfactory, and swear by that bunch of fakirs; that they are the host on earth. But I find many people that are swearing off from such venders and are patronizing home industry, enabling an honest man to stay at ] home and do the work as it should lie and add a profession to our com munity greatly needed.
