We desire to express Jour thanks for the many nice|things said about our last week’s edition. We are try ing to give the people'of the County a first class County paper, and our efforts are appreciated.X One gen tleman stated publicly while making ao address a few days ago that he would pay two dollars for The Press and Standard before he would do without it. We thought it pretty good judgment. advance of modern educational ideas to keep alive these dear old pieces any more than we would expect to see the mrtdfm school boy playing -Town Ball” or “Bull Pen.” With the little girl of a generation ago we must to these things say “Good-bye, little birdie, flying to the sky, etc.” Another political fight is to result in the establishment of a new paper in a restricted territory where there is not more than support enough for one newspaper. A new paper is to be started in Beaufort by a stock company who are gunning for the Gazette. We fear the guns are loaded with boomerangs, and the stockholders will be sorry they did it. This has been the experience of stockholders in similar enterprises in other places. It is a hard thing to do to put an established newspaper out of business, or to compete suc cessfully with it. There are some amusing deductions that could be drawn from this episode in Beaufort, but we will leave the drawing of these to the associate editor of the Gazette. GIVE US THE NEWS. We desire to especially emphasize the fact The Press and Standard is a newspaper, and as such, it is always glad to publish news items from over the county and frpm out of the county when space permits. We desire to enter a protest also against being usedjas a medium to advertise various meetings, and then never furnished a word of the news of the meetings. Is this fair? It occurs ta This Press and Standard that the square thing for the person or. per sons sending in the advertising notice, which we are expected to run for nothing, to do would be to see to it that we get an intelligent report of the meeting ns soon as pos sible after the meeting closes. We find the same thing true as to school entertainments, ice cream festivals, etc. We do not object, understand, to giving a little of our space for the free advertising of these worthy ob jects, but we do object to the spirit of unfaiimess in the thing of not sending in a report of the meeting. We trust our friends will try to do better next time. SUPPORT THE COUNTY FAIR. We desire to urge on all our peo ple the importance of giving a lib- a eral support to the County Fair As sociation in its endeavor to furnish an up-to-date county fair here from Nov. 8-11. A few officers cannot make? the fair a success, and the peo ple must not expect it. It will be a success, and the success will be due to the combined effort of all the people of the connty. We fear there will be a tendency on the part of some individuals to stand off and render no aid. but spend their time in finding fault with the work being done by the officers who have the matter in hand, suggesting numer ous mistakes made, etc. We all know this class of citizen—the dry goods box economist, or the street corner statesmen. Pay no attention to him. He never constructs, but “destructs.” He should be in the exhibits as one of the freaks. This Fair is a big thing for Col leton couhty. The Association has purchased a Fair grounds, contain ing about 10 or 11 acres embracing the former Fair grounds and extend ing beyond. This has been cleared preparatory to erecting new and larger buildings, work on which will begin at once. A race track a quar ter of a mile long will be laid off and a great deal of work done to make it a place of beauty, and suited to the purposes by the opening day. ■— Fl , — NEW FIRE COMPANY. At a meeting of the Walterboro Fire Department held on Monday night a second company of fifteen members w’as organized among the white boys. This will be known as Co. No. 2 or the up town crew and will handle the town apparatus kept on the Terry & Shaffer lot. They will be under the command of Chief Chaffer. Old Company No. 1 under command of Foreman Rivers will have charge of the down town engine house. Chief Shaffer received a petition from various colored citizens and property owners asking to be allowed to organize another colored compary to take place of old No. 2 which had resigned, but Chief Shaffer had al ready completed the organization of the white company. The action of the colored people was appreciated, and should the organization of a third company be deemed wise at any future time the application will be given consideration. It was further passed at the meet ing asking the new town teuncil to take full charge and direction of the Are department and to pass such ordinances for its control and regu lation as council might see fit. Chief Shalffer is working hard to get the town in under the firemans pension bill which will mean a yearly income to the department of several hundred dollars. If the equipment does not ^t the town in this year there is no doubt that with his plans for this fall another year will see Walterboro high up on the roll. The firemen say that the big mins- strel show to be given by them in the new school building this fall will be the event of a life time. Besides the large display of local talent there will be a number of celebrated min strel artists from Charleston for the occasion. The two fire companies which were formed last night at the meet ing are as follows: Company No. 1, known as the CANDIDATES TAKE NOTICE. To The Press and Standard: We do ask the candidates for the differ ent offirMi to stay at home this year and let us decide on them, as we know all of them. As I am a reader of this paper, please publish it for the benefit of us. Now I don’t want this to go in the waste basket. Best Wishes. Stpck in|the Fair association should sell for not leas than 150 now, as the" "down town company, property'can be sold for that, we are informed. The shares are $10 each, and every man in the county should try to become a stockholder. The Association was capitalized at $2,000, and nearly all of|this stock has been taken, we are informed. The bal- ance should be subscribed at once, in order that no (lack of means may prevent thejworking out of the de signs of the officers in preparing for approaching Fair. THINGS MISSED BY SOME. « A great many of the older persons in the audience at the court house • Friday evening at the commence ment exercises of the Walterboro High School must have felt sad be cause there was no boy who “Stood on the burning deck,” and no 'Twinkle, twinkle little star/' aixi net a word about “Old Ironsides at anehor lay," nor yet an admonition. Tell me not in mournful numbers," nor were there tears in the eyes of any, as we have seen them, when "A soldier of the Legion lay dying io Algiers”—if J. L. B. Warren, foneetiy editor of thie-wper, could have recited this piece [m we feave Ward him at the old Smoaks school, we doubt if an eye would have been d*r . tort then we must not expect tbs LODGE ITEMS. Lodge, May 28,—Special: This has been a silent reader of the paper for a while, but will come again with some of my newsy news. How about the picnic, are we going to have one? If so we had better make a move. Candidates are in full bloom and are still "open ing.” No doubt there will be a fair crop of them. There seems to be a great deal of interest taken in Halley’s comet. She has rqade many a poor fellow lose sleep and has frightened some of them nearly to death. She is leaving now, however, and those who see her 75 years hence, will con sider themselves fortunate. J. J. Thompson, wife and children visited the home of Tim Crosby Sun day. Leland A. Hiers and sister, Miss Lucile, visited relatives and friends at Ehrhardt Saturday and Sunday. Mrs. Margaret Jones of this sec tion is visiting relatives and friends in lower Colleton. We are very glad indeed to wel come back into our towm Mr. and Mrs. C. W Pellum and family. We wish for them much success in Lodge. {.eland Hiers attended preach ing at Mt. Pleasant Lutheran church Sunday. There is prayer meeting held at Lodge Methodist church every Wed nesday night.
