JUNK 22. 1910. I^yintf-by time is here. Well, Ed DeCamp’t entertainment * of the editors has not yet been ex celled. Can s&nd-clay roads be built in Colleton county? “Seein’s believ in',” they say. It can be seen. The card of Hon. John C. Goodwin of Little Swaas\p for the House of Representatives appears elsewhere in this issue. The announcement that Mr. Good win will be be a candidate for the legislature will be somewhat of a surprise to many persons in the county. Mr. Goodwin was repre sentative for one term from 1906 to ...ft.00 1908 and served his constituency 90c with fairness and ability. At the .25c 1 conclusion of his first term he volun tarily retired from politics with the I intention of remaining a private citi zen, but owing to the pressure brought to bear on him by his num erous friends, he has consented to allow himseif to be put forward as a candidate this year. Mr. Goodwin possesses many qual ities essential to a successful law maker. He has a high conception of one’s political duty; is conscientious in all that he does, and faithful in any duties imposed upon him. In his community he stands for its up building in material and intellectual propositions. Mr. Goodwin is a brother of Rev. W. S. Goodwin, a member of the Methodist conference. MORE ABOUT PEACHES Editor Press and Standard:—I note an editorial in your last issue about a few peaches shipped the edi tor from Williams. Will you please explain who took the peaches and not cast insinuations. The agent at Walterboro and my self are the only ones who handled this package, and it is up to you to pubha|lf|^p took your peaches. The fn#ag' re was thrown in CARD FROM MAYOR ACKERMAN At the regular meeting Friday night of tbwn council. Dr. L. M. Stokes, chairman of the Board of Health, was present and was called on to make a statement as to the health condition of the town. Dr. Stokes slated that he had done everything possible, as chairman of ' the Board of Health of the town of i Walterboro, to impress upon the my citizens the vital importance of keep- car by agent at W’illiams just as the ing their yards clean. It is impos- train was pulling out and not billed, i sible for the town to furnish more 1 billed out package and delivered to than one cart for the yards at this agent at Walterboro O. K. Sunday time on account of the lack of funds, morning you calltd at my residence Therefore, it is necessary for the for said package, which I told you citizens to spend a little time each was at the express office. After week in having^their yards cleaned you had got it you come back to my 1 and the trash removed at their ex residence and asked me if 1 had de- pense. This expense will be very livered the “package” to agent at small, especially when we take into Mrs. John Kershaw of Charleston, accompanied by her little grand children, the sons of Dr. and Mrs. Theodore Kershaw^ came to Walter boro Monday evening. These chil dren have been spending several weeks in Charleston with Mrs. Ker shaw. It is reported that one has but to call “Low wire!” and a "tertaift y ' young lady of the press party blushes. These words will always recall pleasant memories. A number of responses have been made to the blotter reminders sent out last week. A few have not yet been heard from. Friends, do not neglect this important matter longer, please. Some of the bibulously inclined editors found that prohibition ^does prohibit in North Carolina and Ten nessee. Try as they would to entice the flow of "moonshine.” there was nothing doing. It is a sad realization to many of the editors that their services are not absolutely essential to getting out a good paper.—the absence of this pen-pusher did not seem to effect the general excellence of the last is- Walterboro like that, (open) W hy did y >u not find out how many peaches were sent you before you published to the world that some express employee had taken y'our peaches? Your place was to refuse the peaches then and make a claim for your loss and nut to cast insinu ations. ‘ Lewis M. Fripp, Eitpress Manager.

Colleton-like, though, the elections were not asked for till too late to become effective this year. However, when it is done it will be done. ■ i The decision of the court of in quiry in the Boyd-Brock affair was to the effect that Brock was not ffuilty of crimiaal intent, but that . he was guilty of most everything else. If either of these men run for the office, the people of the State should snow him under so deep that he will be forgotten for a number of yeara, and purified. Such methods in any office are a disgrace to those Ruilty. JUDGE DANTZLERDEAD. Judge Charles G. Dantxler of the 1st judicial circuit died at his home in Orangeburg Monday morning at 5 o'clock. Judge Dantzier was 56 years and 3 months old at the time of his death and had been unable to perform his official duties since last ^December. Judge Dantzier was a .good man and his example will be missed. He was made judge in 1902 •nd re-elected since then. Judge Gruber is holding court in Union now for Judge Dantzier and has been appointed to hold court at Spartanburg. ■■■ ' , , —_ ... „ , AN APPROACHING MARRIAGE.

Mr. Padgett ia the CO. K TEAM CONTESTING. • it The following members of Co.v|C, Heyward Riflemen, left Monday morning for Charleston to represent the company at the annual *shoot to be held there: Lieut. G £ H Moore, commanding; P M Buckner, D C Howell, Lucian Patterson, Raymond Patterson. Buist Hiers and Tom Reeves. These representatives were elected at a competitive drill as be ing the best shots of Co. K. They will remain in Charleston for a week. The purpose of this competitive con test is to select representatives for the annual drill to be held later in the summer. The Heyward Riflemen are holding weekly drills on Thursday nights now for the purpose of getting ready for their encampment to be held July lJth to 20th at Chickamauga. Capt Moorer is very anxious that all the men s.iould bepresent at each of these drills, as he hopes to have his company among the best on the en campment. We regret to note that our young friend took exception to the editori al in last issue relative to package of peaches sent us by Mr. Phil M. Padgett from Williams. This edi torial was written in a humorous vein and intended to be taken hu- morously. We did not wish to give any offense to any one by the edito rial. Certain it was, however, that the package had been broken into and it was received in a, very bad condition. We do'not know, nor do we care, who was responsible for this, as we do not consider the mat ter of sufficient importance to in- and saves doctor’s bill,, and some times saves life. Our streets and sidewalks were in such a terrible condition when new council took charge that we found it very necessary to put one ' cart on the streets, hauling clay, etc. It is the purpose of the council to do all possible to better the health con dition of the town, but we will have to have the undivided support of the citizens. We want to insist and urge that every citizen of the town clean their premises of weeds and other vege table matter which is calculated to breed disease. We can do more for the town if we have this support. W. B. Ackerman, Mayor. dtmauded in tt>e complaint.

Batteries: Up Town—E. Griffin and B. Witsell. Down Town—C. Padgett anti D. Padgett. The chief feature of the game was Witsell striking the Kid out. The score was 11 to 9 in favor of the up town team.
