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.

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-

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

It is reported that one has but to
call “Low wire!” and a "tertaift

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-

It is gratifying to know that so
many school districts in Colleton are
awaking to the necessity for higher
tax levies f^r schools and are levying
special taxes. 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.

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

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.

Mayor.
