G«n. Brock. It appears that Gen.
Boyd has been in had health since
his election and he has had to leave
the work of his office almost entirely
to his assistant^ The si’cir~bjd man
conceived* the idea that Assistant
Gen. Brock was trying to alienate
the people’s affections and have him*
self elected adjutant and inspector
general. The result was that Gen.
Boyd came out with the charge that
Gen. Brock was guilty of conduct un
becoming an officer of the militia etc.
in doing this, and also that he had
waited the money 6f the State in his
tour of the State making inspections
A Court of Inquiry was ordered by
the Governor to inquire into the
charges.
This Court met and inquired, and
the inquiry took the cover off a nice
cettle of fish in*so faf as the head of
the State militia is concerned. It
showed that this office is a farce and
that no business methods are used
in the management of the affairs of
the office. That Oen. Brock did
waste the money allowed for the in
spections is clearly proven by his own
statements, which fact would not
have been possible if the electors had
put a competent mandat the head of
the militia. Gen. Boyd must have
known that Brock was doing this
long ago, and it was his duty to dis
charge him and! put a stop to it. We
are, therefore, led to the irresistable
conclusion that if Gen. Boyd had not
been offended the nice little stealage
would never have been unearthed.
However, it may do some *good
it will possibly result in the office
0
being left to the members of the
militia of the State, or the appoint
ment of the Governor. It is folly to
think that a popular election can put
competent men in offices where pe
culiar technical education is essen
tial. This applies to some offices
not so high up also, and the sooner
they are removed from politics the
better.
We congratulate Cottageville on
the establishment of a high school as
shown by the election held there
Friday. Just who that one man op
posing would be interesting.
“The boy (has) stood on the burn
ing deck” pretty generally over the
State within the last few weeks, and
o
from now on till crops are “laid by”
he will doubtless stand on the burn
ing sand of the corn amgcotton fields.-
We beg to acknowledge receipt of
an invitation to! be present at the
fourteenth annual commencement of
Clemson Agricultural Collage, to
be.held June fifth to seventh at
Memorial Hall.
We have been trying to figure out
some plan by which we could arrange
that picnic for our faithful corre
spondents. but wf confess that owing
to the schedule on the trains, we can
not work out a satisfactory plan. We
would be delighted if we could get
the faithful “pen pushers” together,
and we shall appreciate it if any one
of them can submit a feasible plan.
If you can, you can count on us to be
with you heart and soul. Give us
your ideas.

THE NEW TOWN COUNCIL
Walter boro is now being governed
by s new Council., The members of
this Cauncil were chosen by large
majorities and there can be no doubt
that they were the choice of the
•voters. These are favorable aus
pices under which to start out. and
It must be gratifying to them. Other
auspices are not*m favorable, how
ever. The revenue of ,, the town is
■not sufficient to pay the^expenses of
the town government on the same
basis as has beenf prevailing. So the
new council are at the threshold of
their adminictration confronted with
a dilemna.£ It is whether or not it
will attempt to increase the revenue
or to decrease the expenditures. At
the mass ipeeting held in the Court
House some weeks ago it was the
evident desire of a majority of those
present to have Council so reduce
expenses as to run the town within
the present revenue. This, it was
shown, can be done and uot cripple
the efficiency of the service. What
• - i
the present Council is going to do
about it will be watched with interest.
We tried last wt'ek to get an ex
pression of opinion from the mem
bers as to toe policy of the new ad
ministration, and with that in view
a letter, enclosing a stamped and
addressed envelope, was written
each member of the Council, and
only one reply was received. We
would still be glad to publish an
swers to these inquiries now that the
‘election” is over.
We conceive that this is a ci
the government of the town, and we
trust the new Council will be able to
meet it with wisdom and conserva
tism. We can assure them that their
erarse will be watched with interest.
And we wish you well, gentlemen df
Council.

SPRING
”Ta him who in the love of nature
holds communion with her visible
forms, she speaks a various lan
guage. ”—Bryant.
Spring, the lovliest season of the
year, is with us again, rejoicing our
hearts with its rich gifts of flowers
and song birds, frofn whose throats
warble forth melodies which cheer
the weary ones of,earth as they press
forward day after dav to their ac
customed routine of duties. How
they remind me of my childhood
day's,’ when with light heart and
lighter step I used to roam over
fields and pastures, chasing butter
flies or gathering wild flowers! It is
their influence over me this morn
ing. as I pause to rest a moment and
inhale the fresh atmosphere, that
has suggested these thoughts and
set me thinking afresh of Him. who
is the giver of all blessings, recall^
ing the words of that old familliar
hymn:
“Though every prospect pleases
Yet only man is vile.”
Ought not they to teach us a U s-
son of thankfulness and obedience?
And does not it seem with so many
manifestations around us of His love
and divine guidance, that in return
we should strive to serve Him bet
ter and reach, at least, a degree of
such perfection as His life exempli
fied? It is not impossible, for re
member the old Scotch Proverb,
“Aim at a golden garment, and you
may get a sleeve of it.” Ia‘1 us try
making good resolutions every New
Year, and though we may not live up
to them all. the very effort we make
will help u*. and if persisted in year
after year cannot fail to bring good
results. This lovely, season is so full
— .of suggest ions and so typical of the
j ftfe beyond - the true life,
Mrs. F. Y. L.

Home Industry
Did you ever stop and thifik what
kind of business judgment you exer
cised when you‘ let those globe trot
ting, so-called opticians and eye
specialists pull a veil over your face-
and stuff wool in your eyes and sell
you a pair of glasses with a guaran
tee strong enough to see Halley's
comet at noon and tell the time of
day? And you had just as well be
lieve that as anything else they tell
you, for he has collected your money
and gone.
Suppose the glasses don’t fit.
where can you find him? or suppose
th^y give you perfect satisfaction
and you recommend him to your
friends, where is he? You don’t
know-. 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 hunch
of fakirs: that they are the best 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 wor^ as it should
be and add a profession to our com
munity greatly needed. Don’t be a
drawback to our homes and county,
keep as many people and as much
money here as you possibly can. then
wc will be proud of ourselves and
others.
If-these people come here and live
as one of us 1 for one extend to them
a hand of w’elcome, but for them to
come through and carry thousands
of dollars away, leaving in most
fcases nothing in return. 1 feel duty
bound to rise up against them in be
half of my people and myself. You
may think and say I have a selfish
motive in view by taking this stand.
I don’t care if you do. lam in a
position to substantiate every word
of it. and if you don’t believe it look
on your own mantles and mantles of
your neighbors, and if you don’t find
enough junk in the way of old spec
tacles to convince you. I will stopi
writing and we will go fishing. 11
am making a living and 1 want you
to live, and to do ao you must 'pat
ronize home industry. Buy from
whom you mu, bat try and get
value received for your money.
