We | are sincere in our wish that he may % make the best governor South Caro lina has ever had. He has a great opportunity, and we trust he will make use of it. South Carolina is more to us than Blease. Editor Fooehe of the Winnsboro News and Herald probably explains the result of the second primary as well as it will be explained by the implication in the remark: “No more primaries on the l.?th for us. ^ If Blease makes a good governor, will it not U* because of the iufluence of the newspapers? Will he not be afraid to act improperly for fear of exposure and consequent death to his dreams of the senate? W*ll, anyway, it makes very little difference materially to Colleton county who is governor. If we can get good roads, good schools and a proper administration of ..the laws b> our local officials, Bleaseism will not hurt Colleton much. Farmers who have cotton to sell, in our opinion, should if possible, hold it till after November 1st. Cot ton is worth 15 cents a pound and will bring this if the market is not glutted. By holding till the 1st of November the farmer will save from $5 to $15 pi We wish to call especial attention to the value of a little co-operation on the part of the people of the town. A drive down Black street since it has been clayed will prove what can be done by a little working together. A number of the citizens got together and employed teams to naul clay, each one giving 8 loads or W, and the result is a much improved street, and no One hurt by the little generosity. What was done here might be dup licated all over town, and in many places in the county. If the people living near a piece of bad road, in stead of “cussing” the supervisor because he does not send the chain gang ai}d fix the road, would get to gether and do a little co-operative work, they would soon find their ■r roads much improved and they would be no worse off.’ Try it, gen tlemen, and see if it is not true. Certain it is, they are the ones in jured by the bad road. the call is “reven-ed.’’ SHERIFFS SALES in -ime fo> a no.*n ceremony, and re- mained todihe v.ith friends, on the ■ grounds,' and, by the afternoon rain, returned to Charleston, where we hfq*e they may fpend a long and i u?efuTlife.

It is an important meet ing end will be a most enjoyable oc casion. ^ — What better proof does one wish as to t&e value of The Press and Standard as an advertising medium than the demonstration furnished the Walterboro Drug Co. in re the 1893 pennies? This little notice was stuck awa^on one of the inside pages of the paper, sandwiched between two medicine ads. which we think is the poorest position in the paper for any item. ' We know the supporters of Blease were delighted with the very choice (?) and chaste (?) language used by him in bia first public address the night of his election. If we lacked proof of the unfttneM of the man for the high position to which he has been etected, this first public utter ance would have furnished it How different the firsttaddren of his op ponent woukghave been! It teems that the attempt, is made to put off the responsibility tot Blease’s election on the newspapers, or rather to make it appear that the newspapers have no influence in South Carolina. We cannot see how such is true. - We are of the opinion that it demonstrates most conclus- ively f that the newspapers of the State _ have a very great influence. The great dailies of the State have been working very hard to create a local option sentiment, and in the Amt primary this was the issue, and the fight was centered on Feather- stone because of his prohibition views. This ftgfft put Blease in the laad, and made frienda for McLeod. Now when the second race was on and one of the candidates stood for the same prohibition these papers had fought, Bleaaq, though person ally not the choice of the papers, represented their liquor views, and was voted for conacquent’y. The change of front made, by-the daily press-after the first primary did not appeal to the average voter, for he saw in it persecution, and not prin ciple, and, while we know the papers were sincere in their wish fora clean governor, the time was too short for ao complete a change of front to affect the mam of voters.
