WEDNESDAY. JUNf 8. 1910.
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.

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.

for a while, but will come again

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

crop of them.
There seems to be a great deal of
interest taken in Halley’s comet.
