Monday after noon we were of the opinion that an election could be carried in 24 hours if it were possible to get a chance to vote so early. This is gratifying to the advocates of better public high ways, and wetwish to say to the en thusiasts: There must be no going backward now that the movement has been launched. It will be an is sue in the comiag campaign, and should be.

We trust he can keep the change too till it accumulates and not have to use it to pay off some dull Satur day afternoon. He must have mighty good subscribers over there. QUESTIONS TO BE ASKED. The following questions will be asked candidates for the Senate and House at the campaign meetings. It will be well for candidates to study them carefully: 1. Do you favor State-wide prohi bition? 2. Are you jn favor of the Torrens njratem of of land registration? D; Will you vote for a measure to provide for State aid in building public roads? 4. Are you in favor of putting all able-bodied convicts in the State penitentiary to work on the State highway!? A. Do you favor oompulaory edu cation? How do you stand on the ques tion of salaries to county officers? 7. Are you in favor of submitting the question of a bond issue for good roada to an election by the voters of Colleton county? - Walterboro is indeed on a building boom, and she it destined to go even further in this direction. This t is a aearce of considerable gratification to this newspaper, which has never miaaed an opportunity to boost the town.. Speaking of *booatiag the town, it is funny the way some peo ple aaam to think that aU this sort of thing should eane from the editor ofanawapapar. It is tha hardest thing in the world to get the businev ship will organize at once, and let the county be u unit in t^e demands of the League. This is the only way we can secure results at an early day. Let everyone join hands with the organization and pull for better highways. OUR PROGRESSIVE FARMERS. The intelligent and progressive spirit which appears to have domi nated the sessions of the State Farm ers’ Union Convention held in Colum bia this week should be a matter for general gratification to the people of South C irolina. In urging the pass age of restrictive measures by which the present indiscriminate influx of foreigners may be checked and reg ulated the convention took solid ground, and inlpractically all of its recommendations it expremed moat commendable understanding and foresight. It indicated its desire for the improvement of the buildings and equipment of our common schools an^ urged that more atten tion should be given to agriculture in the schools. It showed its appre- work towpread knowledge and stim ulate endeavor in agricultural mat ters in this State today. It urged the adoption of the Torrens land sys tem in South Carolina and moat im portant Of all, perhaps, it put itself •n record as tavoriag tne drainage of the coastal aria of South Caro- Ifaa by the State of South Carolina. A rssotntiott favoring this last un dertaking was proposed by Mr. A. E. Hudson and after setting forth the view that "the drainage proposition in South Carolina is one that repre- aents a leas coat in tha and than in lUiubis, Oregon or California,” and aaaartingthat "itM possible to compliah the drafamfi the terri tory in 60 square mtim districts’ units in an arm rspniiwlhm 10 A Card to Parents one, "I am aure your excellent school would merit a place on any list of accredited schools.” The president of Wofford writes thus. "We shall be glad to hpve your school affiliated with Wofford College, and to admit your pupils on your certificate. We are aufe of the quality of your work. There will always be ademand for a school that will give thorough pre paration for college, concerning it self chiefly with training the stu dent as an individuaL” - The patronage of those in the com munity and throughout the county . . who desire the choice .advantages elation of the various agencies at mentioned is solicited.

That it is a simple and efficient good roads machine is not doubted by those who *aw it at work. Parents will soon have to decide upon a preparatory school for their boys and girls. To those through out the county who wish the best all round advantages for their children, and these near at hand, it is desired to announce that Miss Malone’s Pre paratory School for boys and girls will reopen in September (Y. M. C. A. Building) and can supply exactly the kind of training needed to fu your Child for college, for business —and for life. This school offers the following special advantages: It is in charge of one thoroughly experienced in teaching, who has made, and is making, a study of the best methods, ss becomes the truly professional teacher: She will take a warm personal ‘interest in your child. Instruction is of the best; explana tions are freely given, and a subject is repeated again and again until un derstood. Thoroughness is stressed. Particular attention is given to each pupil’s needs. His strong aad weak points are carefully considered, and he is dealt with as an individual —and not in mass. It is the earnestendeavor to devel op the moral nature as well as the intellectual, and to build up a noble character. On the principle that one "cannot touch pitch without be ing defiled,” evil influences ar«, as far as p^jssible, eliminated, that the pupil’s fnind may, during the critical formative period, take a bias toward the good and true. Good behavior is insisted on, and the perfect discipline, so needful for the student’s satisfactory progress, is maintained. This is rendered pos sible by extra watchfulness, the es tablishment of friendly relations be tween teacher and pupils and the moderate numbers of the school. This school will be greatly improv ed the ensuing session. A definite high school course of four years will be offered (though special provision will be made for irregular pupils)' and diplomas of graduation will be given on completion of the course. The school will also be refitted with handsome modern furniture. ■ The school has obtained "accredit ed relations” with nearly every col lege in the State, except one or two to whose policy it is contrary to ferant same in any case. In refer ence to the latter fact, the president of Gemson College writes Miss Mai Let Us Print For You The Press and Standard has added another job press and has now the best equipped Job Department we ever had. In addition, we have recently added a large quantity of the newest job type, and can turn out better work than ever be fore.
