Certain questions will be a«ke<i each candidate for legislature, as has been indicated in these columns. Answers should be given, and votes cast according to these answers.

Hurrah for Featherstone! We desire to call especial attention to the several splendid articles in this paper on the subject of bond is sue for good roads. Read them care fully and if you have any thoughts on the subject, let us have them too. Hendersonville is to have the first meeting we have heard of to organ- ize a Good Roads League for Hey ward township. This meeting will ANOTHER MILE POST PASSED. With this issue we begin another year's work as editor of The Press and Standard, having assumed charge August 6,1906. This, there fore. is the beginning of five yesrs * of service to the people of the county as editor and owner of the county newspaper. This, we feel, is a re sponsible position, and one whose duties are not to be entered into lightly nor without deliberation and care. In a large measure we realize that the press of the country moulds public opinion, and influences move ments having to deal with the wel fare of the country. A newspaper should, therefore, study these ques tions with care before assuming ad vocacy of them. We have tried to do this, and we are glad to see that some of the things advocated by The Press and Standard since it has been under the present management have been enacted into law, and some of be held Friday, the 19th instant, at the great moral questions we have * s I \ fought for have been successful.

The Commoner r has been publishing numerous replies to this query, in which the concensus of opinion seems to be that the peo-^ pie do not rule. This is true for the politician rules the people and the powers that be rule the politician. Money rules after all. A candidate fpr a prominent office said to this editor recently that it was his opinion that the country press was subsidized by the money powers, and that support was sold in the open market in many cases. la thia a true accusation? We hardly think so, though there are some edi tors whom we think are a little too obsequious. We think many editor ials are written with a view to get ting them clipped by the big (?) dail ies, when mors important subjects right at home demand attention. We believe in sweeping first before our own door, and we do not care a ’1 ' continental whether or not any of our editorials are ever reproduced by other papers. \ DOTS FROM ROUND. Round, Aug. 6.—Ciqps in this sec tion g-pnprafly are fine. . Much interest was manifested in the joint debate given at. the W. 0. W. Hall here by the Red Bank and Cottageville literary societies.'

Miss Lizzie McMillan and brother, Berry, of Lodge spent several days last week with relatives here. B. J. Hiott spent Sunday very pleasantly with friends at Cottage ville. “ J. T.

Such fidelity we feel grateful for, and we trust the confidence of its readers ashalI never be shaken. We shall advocate in the future as in the past what we conceive to be right. You may not, dear reader, always agree with us in these opinions, but do not let us fall out because we do not agree. We shall concede you honesty of purpose and we wish the same from you. It is impossible to have all persons agree on all questions, and we re serve to right to opinions on all ques tions we discuss. If you disagree and can convince us we shall be pleased to concede your 'position and favor you* views. If we convince you then we expect the same. Thia is all and is it n<}t fair? We cannot dose this without again going on record as being largely in debted to those who have worked with ua on this paper in whatever capacity. We have no secrets from each other, and the aim of all is for a bigger, better paper, and no more loyal force is engaged in making a newspaper anywhere in the State than that associated with The Press and Standard.

Fettle Qab wee day by electing T. S. - 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 liest methods, as 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 and weak points are carefully considered, and he is dealt with as an individual —and not in mass. u It is the earnest endeavor to devel op the moral nature as well as the intellectual, and to build up a noble chaActer. On the principle that one “cannot touch pitch without be ing defiled" evil influences are, as far as ponible, eliminated, that the pupil's mind 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 e* tablishment of friendly relations be tween teacher and pupils and the moderate numbers of the school. This school will begreatly 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 f iven on completion of the course. he 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 ope or two. to whose policy it is contrary to grant same in any case. In refer ence to the latter fact, the president of Oemson College writes Miss Mal one, “I am sure vour excellent school would merit a place on any list- of accredited schools." The president of Wofford writes thus, "We shall be fiad to have your school affiliated with Wofford College, and to admit your pupils on your certificate. We are sure of the quality of your work. There will always be a demand for a school that Will give thorough pre- paraaon for coUege, concerning it self chiefly with training the stu- tat at an individual." in the com- Fiobute to N* held Wal’erboro S C on Au«.
